Ren dusted himself off as he walked over to where the other team leaders were standing, his steps a bit unsteady from the intense sparring match. Hiroshi, Kaida, Razorgrin, and Goro all looked up as he approached, expressions of mixed concern and camaraderie on their faces.
"Good match, Ren," Hiroshi said, clapping him on the back. "You held your own pretty well out there."
Kaida nodded, her fiery hair catching the light. "Yeah, you were really pushing him. Your fire attacks were impressive."
Ren chuckled, though it was clear he was still catching his breath. "Thanks. But master Yuuto's still on another level. His speed and strength... it's like fighting a force of nature. And he obviously held black"
Razorgrin, his one eye gleaming with amusement, grinned. "Well, you gave it your all, that's for sure. I think you even made him break a sweat… a little."
