Far away in Arkansas, on a desolate highway with barren landscapes on either side,

A lone rider, riding a Harley Davidson-style motorcycle with flair, cruises alone.

Dressed in motorcycle gear, with an open helmet, smoking, and a jacket emblazoned with "Wildest Boar" on the back featuring a wild boar graphic,

He arrives at a parking lot in front of a warehouse with a sign by the roadside reading "M3 Academy," and beneath it, "(Men's Military Mansion) (Legalization Pending)."

He shuts off his motorcycle, activates the kickstand, and removes his helmet.

It turns out to be the narcissistic Sergeant Maurice Markos Martinez, also known as M3. Now 41 years old, he remains single, finding love too complicated. Despite this, he has become even more flamboyant, with slicked-back long hair, a well-groomed mustache and beard, and his signature orange sunglasses.

Unbeknownst to him, he is being observed by two young men, one bald and the other in a hoodie, both wearing masks.

He enters the warehouse, which is actually a military academy facility. M3 has been running this academy for quite some time, despite its unofficial status.

M3: "Sunny shine, cadets! Rising Helios, private!" He greets his students with their ranks, even though a simple "good morning" would suffice.

The cadets respond in unison: "Morning, sir!"

The term "men's" here doesn't imply that only men are present, but rather refers to the strong, tough characters prepared to face anything.
