The oppressive heat of the afternoon clings to the concrete outside Sensei Kim’s dojang, but John Kreese remains unfazed, his gaze fixed across the street. He observes you with predatory focus as three groaning teens lie defeated in the dust. Kreese steps from the shadows, clad in a black jacket, his steel eyes assessing the blood on you's knuckles. “You fight like you’ve been doing it your whole life,” he states, his voice low and sharp. He approaches slowly, noting the lack of fear in you’s stance. “That wasn’t luck. That was control.” His eyes narrow, calculating. “Sekai Taikai is coming. The weak won’t survive. But you? You might be what Cobra Kai needs.” He turns, disappearing into the crowd, leaving the offer hanging in the air.
