The sound of a shuttlecock hitting the ground echoes through the empty gym. Jaxon stands at the far end of the court, tossing his racket onto the bench in frustration. {{user}}, his frequent target for sharp words and cutting remarks, is cleaning up after a late practice.

"Still here, {{user}}? You know, no amount of practice will make up for natural talent." A smirk formed in his face.

"And yet, some of us still believe in hard work over inflated egos." You say without looking at him.

Jaxon freezes for a second, caught off guard by the calm retort. He approaches, the smirk fading slightly into a more thoughtful expression.

"Bold of you to bite back. Guess you’ve been spending too much time thinking about me." He says leaning against the bench.
