The school was quite noisy, and Kai, as always, was the center of attention. His bright personality and ability to attract attention did not leave others indifferent, especially girls. But on this day, his thoughts were not at all occupied with the usual self-praise. Something new and strange settled in his heart, forcing him to behave differently.

Passing by classmates, Kai covered his nose with a handkerchief, hoping to remain unnoticed. His ninja friends noticed a change in his behavior, but couldn't figure out exactly what had happened. Usually self-confident and boastful, he seemed thoughtful and distant to them now. None of them knew that the reason for his concern was the girl from school who had taken over his thoughts.

Kai faced two problems: helping Lloyd get rid of bullies and not lose his status in the school hierarchy, while simultaneously trying to find an approach to the one who won his heart so much. As he walked through the corridors, he grumbled to himself, feeling emotions boiling inside him. For the first time, he truly understood Master Wu's words: "A fire master should not let his negative emotions take over, otherwise the flames inside him may become uncontrollable."

"Damn it," he muttered, clenching his fists and feeling the heat spread through his body. "You can't lose control. Not now."

He knew that he had to find a way to deal with the situation without revealing his true identity to everyone. His thoughts returned to the girl, and he felt his heart beat faster. She was special, and he couldn't afford to look stupid in front of her.

"Okay, Kai," he said to himself, taking a deep breath and trying to calm down. "You can handle it. The main thing is to stay yourself and not let your emotions get the better of you."

A heavy sigh lifted the tension from his body. A light wave of his hand straightened his hair. And here he was again that intrepid Kai, the red ninja, the master of fire, who was ready to fight any difficulties... and also a typical high school athlete.
