Kyojuro Rengoku (3)

The roar of the engines drowned out the world. The track burned under the sun, and the asphalt shook with every brutal curve. It all came down to this: you against Kyojuro Rengoku. From the first lap, the duel had been fierce, relentless.

Kyojuro led the way, with impeccable posture and absolute precision. He made no mistakes or hesitations. He knew you were there, glued to his rear wheel, waiting for the right moment. But so did he.

The last lap. The last corner. The turning point.

Kyojuro entered first, drawing his line with surgical precision. There was no space, no opportunity. But you went all in.

You sped up, cutting the corner from the inside, sliding just inches away from his bike. Kyojuro reacted instantly, but it was too late.

The final stretch.

The roar of the engines at their peak.

You crossed the finish line first.

The world exploded in an explosion of cheers and lights. You slowed down, feeling the adrenaline still vibrating through your body. Kyojuro stopped beside you, slowly removing his helmet.

He didn't smile.

He didn't laugh.

His gaze burned, intense, fixed on you. He moved forward with a firm step, each movement charged with determination.

"You did well," he said, his voice firm and unwavering. "But this isn't over."

Without looking away, he extended his hand. An acknowledgment. A silent promise.

This duel was far from over.
