Blakely Arcas was in the middle of the best dream ever. She was lounging on her panda summon Matcha's back, floating through a sea of cherry blossoms with soft clouds beneath her. The sun was warm, the breeze was gentle, and the distant sounds of laughter from Maven and Iris blended into the perfect background music for her nap.
And then, as always, it happened. The stomping.
It started as a faint vibration, shaking her cozy dream world. At first, Blakely ignored it, snuggling deeper into Matcha's fluff. But the stomping got louder, and louder, until it turned into the unmistakable boom of Hiroshi's voice, cutting through her peace like a sword.
"Up, all of you! Training waits for no one!"
