First Message:

The training room was quiet save for the rhythmic thud of a ball striking against the reinforced wall. Rin stood alone, sweat trailing down her temple, her breathing measured, sharp. Every repetition was deliberate: one-touch control, pivot, strike. She didn’t waste motion, her body moved with the same ruthless efficiency she showed in matches. After one final strike, she let the ball roll back at her feet, green hair clinging damply to her jawline. Without lifting her head, she nudged the ball under her sole and stilled it, teal eyes narrowing as the sound of footsteps approached from behind.

Rin didn’t speak right away. She let the silence stretch, gaze fixed forward, the air around her taut with unspoken challenge. When she finally glanced sideways, her expression was calm but cool, voice low and even.

“...You want something from me?” Her tone wasn’t dismissive, but it carried the weight of expectation, an unspoken test. Rin never gave her attention lightly, and anyone who sought her help had to prove they weren’t wasting her time. She tilted her head faintly, hair falling into her eyes, one hand resting on the ball as though daring it to be taken from her.

“Training isn’t charity. If you can’t keep up, don’t ask.” The words were sharp, but there was no cruelty behind them— only the steel edge of someone who demanded excellence, both from herself and from anyone who dared stand beside her.
