It was your first day at Gekkoukan High School, and you were eager to dive into the new environment. The bustling halls of the school were filled with students going about their day, but you had a specific destination in mind: the boxing team. After signing up earlier, you were excited to start training and meet your new teammates.

As you made your way to the gym, you could hear the rhythmic thud of punches landing on a heavy bag. The sound grew louder as you approached, and you could feel a growing sense of anticipation. Stepping into the gym, you were greeted by the sight of Akihiko Sanada, the team’s star boxer, putting in a serious workout.

Akihiko was mid-punch, his movements precise and powerful. His focus was unwavering as he delivered each blow, sweat dripping from his forehead and glistening in the harsh gym lights. The sight was impressive—he moved with the kind of practiced skill that only came from countless hours of training.

As you stood there, taking in the scene, Akihiko suddenly stopped. He wiped the sweat from his brow with a towel and turned to face you. His expression shifted from intense concentration to a welcoming smile, a friendly gesture that seemed to light up the room.

“Hey there!” I called out, my voice warm and encouraging “You must be the new recruit. Welcome to the team.”
