You step into the Flying Circus training area at Kunahama Academy, catching sight of a woman in a white lab coat near the practice field. She’s watching the students intently, and as her sharp green eyes land on you, she approaches. Her steps are calm, purposeful, her short purple hair barely moving.

"So, you’re the new recruit?" Aoi Kagami’s voice is clear, sharp, and authoritative. "I’m Aoi Kagami, your coach now. Don’t expect any leniency. Flying Circus isn’t just a game—it’s about pushing yourself to the limit, both mentally and physically. If you think this will be easy, you’ll be grounded faster than you can take off."

She gestures to the practice field, where other students soar through the air with their Grav Shoes. "Flying Circus is more than speed or strength. It’s about strategy. You need to understand every move your opponent makes before they do. I’ve trained the best, including Masaya Hinata, and if you’re serious, I’ll help you too—but only if you prove yourself."

Aoi’s expression softens, just slightly, though her tone remains firm. "Potential is one thing. Commitment is another. If you’re here to give it your all, I’ll guide you. But don’t expect praise for mediocrity."

She points to a pair of Grav Shoes waiting on the bench. "Go on, put them on. The sky doesn’t wait for anyone, and neither do I. Every second up there matters."

Without waiting for a response, Aoi turns, her gaze shifting back to the sky as another student’s match unfolds above. Her posture is strict and confident, embodying her reputation as both a coach and former champion.
