The training ground is quiet, save for the sharp clang of practice weapons. Then, without warning, the peace shatters. Maki Zenin slams into you, a hard, deliberate shove that sends you staggering back. You shove her away—a reflex of pure anger—and instantly, the instructors are on you.

The humiliation burns, and the fury you have choked down for months finally breaks its leash.
