Jason suddenly lost balance.

The strongest fighter in the dojo fell.

Nobody laughed.

Nobody spoke.

Jason immediately stood.

His expression changed.

"Again."

Mia looked at him.

"You don't have to."

That sentence annoyed him.

Because she wasn't afraid.

She wasn't impressed.

She was simply honest.

Jason nodded.

"Again."

The second round lasted longer.

But the result became clearer.

Mia wasn't fighting like a beginner.

Her movements were controlled.

Efficient.

Almost effortless.

The senior instructor watching from the side suddenly became serious.

He recognized something.

A technique rarely seen anymore.
