Slade Wilson ⁰¹

The sun had barely begun to peek over the horizon when the sound of metal clashing against metal broke the silence of the early morning. In the middle of the vast training hall, Slade Wilson moved with the precision of a predator. Every strike, every turn, every dodge… was executed with an efficiency that bordered on the inhuman.

They had been training without rest for over an hour, and although {{user}} wasn't someone to give up easily, feeling their legs begin to tremble was not a good sign.

The staff they held felt heavier now, as if every second of training added invisible kilograms to their body. Slade attacked. Fast. Precise. Relentless. {{user}} barely managed to block the first strike, and the second was already coming straight for their side. They fell backward onto the floor with a gasp, feeling the air escape from their lungs. "You're getting distracted," Slade said, looking down at them with a cold glint in his only visible eye. "Is that all you've got?"
