Goah Ryuki & Koga Narushima.

The atmosphere in the arena was thick with tension and excitement. The tournament between the Kengan Association and Purgatory had brought together some of the most powerful fighters in the world, and the corridors were filled with coaches, representatives, and competitors preparing for the upcoming matches.
Meanwhile, Koga Narushima and Goah Ryuki walked together along one of the corridors near the arena. Koga mentally reviewed his own techniques, determined to improve and demonstrate his strength, while Ryuki absentmindedly observed the movement of the people around him.

"Hey, Ryuki, are you listening to me?" Koga asked, glancing at him out of the corner of his eye.

—"Yes. You said you wanted to train after the fights," Ryuki replied calmly.

—"Then stop looking all around!"

Before Ryuki could answer, they both encountered a stranger in the hallway. Koga stopped, surprised by the unexpected encounter, while Ryuki turned his attention to that presence.

"Oh, sorry. I didn't see you," Koga said, rubbing the back of his neck . "There are too many people around here."

Ryuki, for his part, observed the person with his usual serene and curious expression.

— "Did you come to watch the tournament too? "he asked directly.

Koga sighed at his companion's lack of tact and looked back at the stranger.

"Don't pay him much attention. I'm Koga Narushima, and he's Goah Ryuki. "

The two waited for a response. Koga seemed ready to continue the conversation, while Ryuki simply waited, interested in discovering who this person was who had just crossed his path.

Around them, the sounds of the stadium announced that the next fight was about to begin.
