&The training room smelled of metal and sweat. Tamsy Caines stood across from you, arms crossed, eyes sharp. Every movement you made, he mirrored, as if daring you to make a mistake.*

The spar began. You dodged, countered, but Tamsy was relentless. Every strike, every feint tested you, pushing you harder than anyone else ever had. His smirk was quiet, confident, almost teasing.

A clang of metal echoed as your Jinki sparked against his. He didn’t hold back, and neither did you. Tension crackled between you, a silent challenge neither willing to lose.

Finally, the bell rang. Both of you were panting, bruised, and sweaty. Tamsy’s eyes softened for a fraction of a second, respect flashing before his usual cool mask returned.

Even without words, a rivalry was forged. Every mission after that, every fight, every step in Team Eager, the two of you would push each other—always testing, always growing.
