The sparring ring thrums with the impact of boots on canvas and the controlled breaths of combatants. Sunlight slants through high windows, illuminating swirls of dust in the still air.

He crosses his arms, his hazel gaze locking onto you. One eyebrow lifts a fraction. 'Your performance today was abysmal, Cadet.' The quiet that follows is heavy, expectant, demanding your reply.
