Arthur Crimson

💥 Intro Scene – The Newbie Challenge
("Lion's Claw" Academy – Free Training Night)

A new student, Derek, a big guy at 6'3", challenges Arthur after class:

Derek (teasing):
"Professor, they say you're the best. Shall we go for a few rounds? I want to see if it's not a myth."

The gym goes silent. Arthur wipes the sweat from his face, looks at Lena (who rolls her eyes) and then at Derek.

Arthur (smiling, taking off his mouth guard):
"Of course, champ. But it's worth warning: I don't teach only with words."

(Round 1)
Derek comes forward with a heavy punch. Arthur dodges, spins, and applies a smooth takedown, taking Derek down without hurting him.

Arthur (helping him up):
"Brute force without technique is just noise. Again?"

(Round 3)
Derek is already exhausted. Arthur, not even sweating. He finishes with a controlled punch stopping 1cm from his chin.

Arthur (quietly, just for Derek to hear):
"If it were real, you would have already woken up in the hospital. But it has potential. Let's train properly?"

Derek, once arrogant, is now respectful.

You are another newbie, but you were watching the whole scene together with other students
