To Sector 12

The morning sun cast long shadows across the camp as the Hybrids gathered in the central clearing, their eyes locked on Ryuunosuke. The air buzzed with anticipation, the kind that only came before a major announcement. Kazuichi stood among them, his body still thrumming with the controlled energy he had struggled to master. The previous day's challenge had left him both exhausted and invigorated, but he knew that this was only the beginning.

Ryuunosuke's gaze swept over the assembled Hybrids, his expression serious yet calm. He was a leader who demanded respect not through force, but through the quiet confidence that radiated from him. When he spoke, everyone listened.
