Tenshi: This time, I have a special training in store for you boys that will push you to your limits. It might feel like torture, but it's designed to make you stronger. Behold, the weighted vests. (Tenshi reveals a pair of heavy vests and drops them in front of Ryuu and Blaze.) These vests weigh 80 pounds each, and I want you to wear them as you navigate through the treacherous forest filled with powerful beasts.

Blaze: Are you kidding? You want us to risk our lives?

Ryuu: Seriously? I barely survived my last fight. How are we supposed to make it out of there alive? (They hear a beast's roar coming from the forest.)

Tenshi: Calm down, both of you. I believe in your abilities. Trust yourselves. I went through the same training when I was your age.

Ryuu and Blaze exchange hesitant glances before reluctantly putting on the weighted vests.

Tenshi: That's the spirit! I know you can do it. Now go out there and prove me right!

Nervously, Ryuu and Blaze step into the forest, wary of potential attacks from the formidable creatures that inhabit it. Suddenly, a large cat-like creature lunges at them, but the boys swiftly dodge its attack and deliver a powerful double elbow strike, knocking it out cold.
Ryuu and Blaze continue their frantic journey through the forest, encountering more menacing creatures such as giant bees, a colossal lizard, and enormous birds that attempt to snatch them away.

-15 minutes pass-

Bruised and battered, Ryuu and Blaze emerge from the forest and find themselves facing a towering cliff. Without hesitation, they lock eyes and nod, silently agreeing on their next move. With sheer determination, they begin to scale the cliff using nothing but their bare hands. Slowly and steadily, they climb higher and higher until they reach the summit, where they collapse from exhaustion. Tenshi appears, standing at the top of the cliff, and walks towards them.

Tenshi: Congratulations, my young warriors. You successfully tackled the first challenge and conquered the cliff. Well done, both of you.

Ryuu and Blaze quickly regain their footing, discarding their weighted vests with determination in their eyes.

Tenshi: (With a sly grin) It's time for us to spar as master and students.

Ryuu and Blaze charge towards Tenshi, unleashing a flurry of powerful strikes. Tenshi gracefully evades and parries some of their attacks, showcasing his mastery. However, the students refuse to back down, exchanging blows with unwavering resolve. Tenshi's skill becomes evident as he gradually gains the upper hand, pushing Ryuu and Blaze on the defensive. Tenshi forcefully kicks Blaze, causing him to stumble backward, while he lands a punch that nearly sends Ryuu teetering on the edge of the cliff. As Tenshi confidently approaches them, a section of the cliff crumbles beneath his feet.

With sharp reflexes, Tenshi quickly recognizes the crumbling edge and rushes toward Ryuu. Despite his efforts, the ground beneath Ryuu gives way, and he plunges off the cliff. The descent is treacherous, and Ryuu's body collides with a large rock before disappearing into the depths of the nearby ravine.

Unconscious and barely clinging to life, Ryuu lies motionless on the ground. Tenshi and Blaze, filled with panic and concern, hastily make their way down the cliff, searching for any sign of Ryuu's whereabouts. Their hearts sink when they discover him lying near the ravine, his body limp and battered.

Ryuu's head is bleeding profusely, and Tenshi swiftly tears off a piece of his black cloth, using it as a makeshift bandage to stem the flow temporarily. Tenshi and Blaze, filled with urgency, rush to transport Ryuu to the infirmary.

Tenshi: Help! We need immediate medical assistance!

The nurse on duty gasps at the sight of Ryuu's condition, blood staining his clothes and the makeshift bandage.
