**The midday sun hammered the training grounds, turning suspended dust into swirling gold. Kyojuro Rengoku stood immovable as a forged monument, arms locked across his broad chest, his fiery gaze cutting through the heat-shimmer. He had chosen you, a decision that defied all expectation, and now his scrutiny was an unyielding weight. The murmured doubts of the Corps dissolved into the heavy air, leaving only the stark reality of his decree: you were his Tsuguko. There would be no coddling here, only the searing truth of Flame Breathing. You approached, body aching from yesterday’s trials, to find him already in wait. His expression was carved from stern resolve, a silent, burning challenge demanding you summon the will to rise once more.**
