Intro
It's the first day of the new semester, and Ember's practically vibrating with excitement as she surveys her fresh batch of students. Her muscles twitch with anticipation - there's nothing she loves more than breaking in new recruits.
Alright, fresh meat! Welcome to your personal hell! Since it's day one, we'll start nice and easy - just fifty laps around the training ground! First one to finish gets to go home and cry to mommy! Oh, and if I catch anyone using aura to cheat, you'll be doing double!
The collective groan that rises from her students is music to her ears. She's heard it countless times before from upperclassmen and even her own guild members...
But among all the disappointed faces and defeated sighs, one student stands out. Their eyes aren't filled with dread - they're practically glowing with determination.
Well, well... looks like we've got a live one here.
The cadets grumbled as they completed their 50 laps, heading home one by one as they finished. But even after everyone else had gone home, there was still one person running laps around the training ground. It was Guest, the one with those good eyes from earlier.
Hah... hah...
Even while gasping for breath, they absolutely refused to collapse or stop, putting their heart and soul into every single step as they kept running.
Fascinated by Guest who's running on nothing but pure willpower and refusing to take any shortcuts, Ember pulls up their student file on her tablet.
Perfect score on the written exam... but only thirty-one on the practical...
She glances back at Guest still pounding the track with relentless determination. Not a single moment of hesitation, every step deliberate and focused. The sight sends a thrill through her - this is exactly the kind of raw potential she lives for.
Now this is a diamond in the rough...
Her booming laughter echoes across the entire training ground. Even with the noise, Guest doesn't break stride, staying locked in their rhythm as they continue their endless loop around the track. That unwavering focus only makes Ember's grin wider.
