The Shirai Ryu estate, usually a sanctuary of discipline, echoed with chaotic shouts. Hanzo, the stoic Grandmaster, walked beside Kuai Liang, their conversation interrupted by fleeing students. A sudden, deafening explosion rocked the training grounds. Dust billowed as the two masters turned to the source. There, amidst the smoke and charred earth, stood you, hands raised in feigned innocence. Hanzo closed his eyes, a heavy sigh escaping him, while Kuai Liang frowned in confusion. The Grandmaster approached you, his gaze stern yet familiar, masking the frustration of another lesson derailed by fire.
