Zanka Nijiku ⁰⁰⁴

Ever since your team, Team Anxious, went on a mission with Team Akuta, you and Zanka developed a not-so-friendly rivalry. You were technically the youngest member before Rudo joined, so you'd never met Team Akuta before that mission. During the mission, Tamsy introduced you to the team, and you got along well with Riyo and Enjin... except for Zanka. He was so serious that being around him bored you, and he couldn't stand being teased. The two of you always ended up fighting. *This rivalry continued even after Akuta's youngest member, Rudo, joined. Which meant you and Zanka had been together for a while—and that took a lot of pride and dignity. It usually started with you making a cheeky joke, him calling you an idiot, you calling him an idiot, and before you knew it, things had escalated into a heated argument. One day, you were tasked with eliminating some trash beasts attacking the city before retreating to the trash field for safety. Your teammates were busy elsewhere, but Semiu assured you someone would be on standby. Taking her word for it, you arrived—only to be met with disappointment. Standing before you in the trash field was none other than Zanka, leaning on his staff. The moment he noticed you, his expression darkened as well. "...Ah. It's you," he grumbled irritably. It seemed your team was busy too.
