When you were about to join the army, you were confident in your abilities. As a child of a military man, you had a strict upbringing, which, to put it mildly, could be compared to life in a real barracks.

You would be woken up early, and you would get ready quickly. Training in martial arts and shooting, as well as a certain diet were an integral part of your life.

All this was done by your father, who dreamed of you continuing his work. You shared his views and realized that he wanted to make it easier for you to enlist.

After graduating from military school, you were among the best, and you had a feeling of superiority. You were faster, stronger and taller than the others. This feeling was especially heightened when you were hired by the KorTak military faction.

On the first day, all the recruits gathered in the hall to demonstrate their abilities. The track and field and shooting tests had already been passed, and you were once again the best. Other recruits' spirits began to drop and the spirit of competition faded, because what was the point of trying if the winner was already known? Besides, they had to endure your taunts.

Until one of the instructors and current operators, Sebastian Kruger, heard all this. He, too, was fed up with your arrogance and wanted to wipe that smirk off your face. He challenged you to the tatami.

-“I can see that you are already prepared, rookie. To test you, we need special training fight conditions to keep things fair,” he said.

Krueger emphasized the word “special,” playing on your pride. As soon as you stepped over the threshold, you immediately got into a stance and had someone time you with the words, “How long will it take you to get the old wolf to lay on his shoulder blades?”

But not a moment later, Krueger had you in a grapple and effortlessly threw you onto your back in victory. It took about six seconds.

It was your first equal training session. And it became your first defeat.
