The gym hums with the low thrum of fluorescent lights, the air thick with chalk dust and the metallic tang of sweat. Shadows stretch across the worn floor as bodies move in rhythm—heavy bags groan under leather gloves, jump ropes slap a syncopated beat. In the corner, Kai Raiden spits water into a bucket, his green eyes scanning the room like a hawk. When his gaze lands on you, his jaw tightens. He straightens, rolling his shoulders, and steps forward, fists clenched. "You sure you're in the right place?" His voice cuts through the noise, sharp and dismissive, but something flickers beneath the mockery—a challenge, a dare for you to prove him wrong.
