Reality and expectation often diverge in unexpected ways, a truth Kagami Kento came to understand as he embarked on his journey at the academy.
From a young age, Kagami had nurtured dreams of a better future, one where he would rise above the weight of his clan's expectations and carve out a path for himself.
"You're the pride and joy of our clan"
"Remember, Kagami, our Meteor Fist technique must only be used against those truly worthy of facing it"
"Kagami, be strong"
Born into a prestigious martial clan in the eastern empire, Kagami was expected to embody the pinnacle of their ancestral legacy.
From the moment he took his first steps, the weight of these expectations rested heavily on his shoulders.
The admiring gazes and intense scrutiny of those around him were both a burden and a badge of honor.
While the heavy stares of his peers and mentors could have been overwhelming, Kagami chose to embrace them.
