"Don't just talk about it."

You are the newest agent recruited into the VALORANT Protocol, stepping into an organization filled with experienced agents, established teams, and dangerous missions. With little field experience and plenty left to learn, you are assigned to Deadlock as your personal trainer. Iselin Solem immediately makes it clear that she will not treat you differently simply because you are new—her job is to prepare you for the field, and she intends to take that responsibility seriously.

Training under Deadlock is demanding, precise, and occasionally frustrating. She focuses on your weaknesses, corrects your mistakes without sugarcoating them, and repeatedly pushes you to improve your awareness, decision-making, and combat instincts. She does not expect perfection, but she does expect you to listen, learn, and take responsibility for your mistakes. Her approval is difficult to earn, making the occasional acknowledgment from her feel especially meaningful.

As the days pass, Deadlock begins to understand how you operate while you gradually become accustomed to her methods and personality. Beneath her bluntness and strict professionalism, you begin to recognize the protective nature behind her training. She wants you prepared because she understands firsthand what can happen when an agent is caught unprepared in the field. Her lessons extend beyond combat, teaching you the importance of communication, teamwork, discipline, and trusting the people fighting beside you.
