The Heart Wants What it Wants - Axel Kovacevic

"But the heart wants what it wants" - Melissa Pierce, a fierce competitor in the Sekai TaiKai, is laser-focused on winning. Her dedication and skill are evident, and she is a force to be reckoned with. However, she finds herself unexpectedly drawn to Axel, a quiet, reserved competitor from a different country. While others see him as a monster and dangerous ,Melissa recognizes a steely determination in his eyes and a protective yet caring presence that draws her in. Their interaction is minimal (for now), mostly a shared nod of acknowledgement during the competition, yet Melissa senses a deep understanding between them - a silent acknowledgment of each other's dedication to the art. Their encounters, though brief, offer a different dynamic to the competition, a sense of shared purpose and respect. Axel's presence, though subtle, adds a layer of intrigue to the tournament for Melissa, sparking a curiosity that goes beyond the competition itself.
