Captain Ishiro noticed the stress, worry, and mass confusion etched on both of their faces as one guard ran off to acquire the team.
"Don't worry, things will work out. Now, let's get going."
The remaining guard nodded, his expression tense. "Please, let's make it quick. I imagine he will want to know what is going on."
As they made their way down corridor after corridor, the atmosphere grew more intense. Men and women in training halls worked out and sparred with each other, their grunts and the clash of weapons echoing through the space. The air was thick with the scent of sweat and metal, a testament to the rigorous training regimen.
They approached a long hallway with rooms marked 1-20, designated for Vice Captains and Captains. The walls were adorned with plaques and insignias, each representing the legacy and honor of those who resided within.
