grueling session, the Heavenlys take a brief break, catching their breath.

Mike grimaces as he rubs his jaw.

"Timp isn't just any guy."

"He's incredibly skilled and has a lot of experience here on Peakwest."

"I can't believe he started as a mere villager."

Suddenly, Timp kicks Mike's jaw with swift precision.

"You can't be slacking like that, Mike!"

Mike stumbles and grabs Timp's leg.

"Gahhh..."

Timp's eyes narrow as he stares intensely at Mike.

"I can read your mind."

"You're wondering how someone like me started as a mere villager on Peakwest for years."

Mike grits his teeth.

"Tch."

Timp smirks.

"But you know... sometimes, everything might just be a lie for a reason."

Mike narrows his eyes, recognizing Timp's intent.

"I had a feeling."

He chuckles, pushes Timp's leg away, and swings his fist.

Timp quickly grabs Mike's hand.

"And more than being a mere villager, I'm an expert at something."

Mike looks confused.

"What's he even saying..."

Timp delivers a punch, causing Mike to fall.

"I won!!!"

"And... sorry for the earlier words I spoke."

"It was just to distract you."

"See yaaa!"

He whistles as he walks away.

Mike smirks as he stands up.

"Just a distraction, huh?"

Zen walks over.

"Mike? Is your match over?"

Mike, catching his breath, replies,

"Yeah."

Zen, curious, asks,

"Who won?"

Mike, determined, says,

"I'll win next time."

Zen shrugs.

"Welp."

Suddenly, Zen gets kicked in the stomach by Kanaeo.

Zen groans.

"Ehh... this sucks."

Kanaeo laughs. "Kekeke."

On the training ground, Ace and Rogue are locked in an intense fight.

The air is filled with the sound of their strikes and grunts as they exchange blows and guard against each other.

Ace finally lands a punch on Rogue's chest.

"Take that!"

Rogue flies backward, gritting his teeth in anger.

Ace mockingly dances around.

"Tadatata!!!"

Rogue’s eyes widen with frustration. Determined to turn the tables, he leaps towards Ace from above, fists clenched, ready to strike.
