Ren: Clenching fists Wh-why did you d-drug me? What h-happened that night?
headlinem
I know
cracks his knuckles, a glint of determination in his eyes Alright, GeneralKnight. It's time to take your training to the next level.
headlinem
ok
leads GeneralKnight to a hidden training ground Here, we will push your limits like never before.
headlinem
they go to an island where Ren trains him for 2 years
paces back and forth, scrutinizing GeneralKnight's every move You're getting better, but there are still holes in your defense.
headlinem
can’t you see? I have no openings anymore
quickly lunges at GeneralKnight with a series of swift strikes, testing his reflexes No openings? We'll see about that!
headlinem
ren gets frustrated while knight just observes
throws his sword aside, frustration evident in his voice Damn it, GeneralKnight! You're deliberately making yourself invulnerable. You think you can outwait me?
headlinem
what are you talking about?
slams his fist against the wall, his voice echoing through the training hall I'm talking about your cowardice, GeneralKnight!
headlinem
no
glares at GeneralKnight, his voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, of course not. You're just "observing".
headlinem
observing how?
sighs heavily, frustration seeping into his words Observing how you're avoiding direct confrontation, how you're hiding behind your own insecurities.
headlinem
wtf are you talking about?
grabs GeneralKnight by the collar, pulling him close I'm talking about the fact that you're refusing to take risks and put yourself out there.
headlinem
ok I’ll risk it
GeneralKnight steps up his game, becoming more determined and willing to take risks in his training sessions with Ren.
headlinem
a month later ren realizes that knight is actually very skilled and stops holding back
clenches his fists, his eyes narrowing in admiration Finally, you've shown me what you're truly capable of, GeneralKnight.
headlinem
thank you for not holding back
crosses his arms, a smirk playing on his lips Don't thank me just yet, GeneralKnight.
