The grassy practice field buzzed with energy as two newly formed teams prepared for their training session.
On one side, Team Zann—composed of Zann, Aranea, and Beau—stretched and prepped their baskets filled with color-coded beans. Across the field, Team Leonel mirrored their movements, practicing in near silence and precision.
The afternoon sun cast a golden light over the arena, making the beans glint as they were sorted into attack and defense piles.
"Alright," Zann said, tossing a green bean up and catching it. "This is just training, so don't go too wild."
"Define 'wild,'" Beau grinned, cracking his knuckles. "Because I've got at least four new techniques I want to try."
"Please don't," Aranea muttered, already clutching a pink bean. "Let's aim for strategy, not chaos."
Zann glanced across the field.
