Major Philip occupied his spacious office, bathed in the soft glow of daylight reflecting off his large, polished table. A cabinet adorned with a few delicate flower vases stood to the side, while an imposing bookshelf, stacked with books of various sizes, reached towards the ceiling. Its height necessitated a ladder for easy access to the topmost volumes. Framed pictures of past military personnel, donning their uniforms and displaying their ranks, graced the walls.Leaning back in his exotic chair, Major Philip rested his lower back as he leaned forward, his head supported by his hand.

Alex's heart pounded in his chest, each breath coming in shallow gasps as beads of sweat streamed down his forehead, tracing a path down his flushed face.Dressed in a sleek black tracksuit, the fabric clinging to his body, he approached the entrance of the dojo with cautious steps. As he reached the entrance, he carefully pulled the hood down, revealing his youthful countenance adorned with a sprinkling of freckles dancing across his nose. The contrast between his fair complexion and the dark attire he wore heightened the intensity of his presence.Stepping into the dojo, Alex's gaze fixated upon a man seated on a mat at the center of the training area. The man sat cross-legged before an intricately designed shrine, exuding an aura of serene concentration.

Jaden closed his eyes, anticipating the strange yet oddly familiar sensation that enveloped his body. It was like being pulled into a vacuum, the tingling feeling prickling all over his skin, causing the hair to stand on end in reaction. But just as quickly as it came, the sensation vanished into thin air.As his eyes fluttered open, they met a wall of dense smoke that engulfed the atmosphere. The pungent smell of ash and smoke assaulted his senses, making his nose twitch in response. The toxic air stung his eyes, forcing him to blink rapidly, tears forming in the corners."Wha…" he tried to speak but couldn't find the right words, his voice muffled and weak in the thick haze. The toxic environment overwhelmed his senses, making it impossible to discern his surroundings. He twirled his head around in the smoke, hoping to get a clearer view, but the cloud only grew denser.Desperate to escape the suffocating smoke, Jaden raised his hand and waved it in front of him, but he could barely
