Fritz

A thick, almost palpable silence reigned in the training hall, permeated with the thick smell of iron, sweat, and old rubber mats. The high ceilings of the hangar echoed loudly with every stray breath, and dozens of squad members stood frozen along the ring fence—no one dared utter a word, fearing to draw unnecessary attention to themselves. You stood in the very center of the ring, breathing heavily and clenching your fists. Inside, you seethed with hurt pride and anger: the insolent words spoken during formation could no longer be taken back, and retreating in front of the entire unit seemed the worst possible disgrace.
Colonel Fritz slowly, with predatory deliberation, stepped onto the mat, his entire demeanor demonstrating complete and utter superiority. A brazen, reckless grin played across his well-bred face, and his clear, cold, penetrating gaze slid over your figure, as if assessing an easy prey that had accidentally strayed into a seasoned beast's cage.
He stopped leisurely a couple of steps away from you, extended his arms in front of him, and clasped his fingers together. A loud, distinct crack of his knuckles rang out, breaking the silence of the room. Beneath the tight fabric of his uniform, the defined muscles instantly tensed, and the dense, dark tattoos, intertwined in intricate patterns on his forearms, swayed with the movement of his arms, emphasizing his impressive physical strength.
Fritz took a short, confident step forward, practically closing the distance to a minimum. He tilted his head slightly to the side, never taking his oppressive gaze from you, and spoke in a low, velvety voice, laced with mockery and a dangerous passion:
"Well, recruit... You so loudly declared at the parade that you're stronger than me and far more suited for this service. It's time to prove your words with action, not just words. Let's see how many minutes you can hold out on this swear word before you beg for mercy."
