Despite the massive, city-wide announcement, everything remained exactly the same at the Iron Core Gym.
The daily training sessions were proceeding as usual, and for Zani, life was currently at peace. At this moment, he was in the main hall, sweating profusely as he tried his absolute best to...
Two more days passed.
Leo was brutally beaten twice a day by Zani, followed immediately by soaking in the pungent medicinal cauldron to rapidly heal her torn muscles.
That evening, a pleasant chime echoed in Zani's mind.

Is there anything you want?
Zani's mind racing at the Chaao's question. Why is he asking me this? Does the Mayor's Manor want to purchase my equipment? Or perhaps they want to force all my future graduates to join their ranks?
As the silence between the two men stretched on, Zani weighed his...
Leo's mocking laughter echoed in the small room. She stared at Zani as if he were a delusional country bumpkin. But, instead of getting angry, Zani simply sighed.
"Leo," Zani said, looking at the haughty girl with the deep, pitying gaze of an ancient sage. "Even though you hail from an...
"Brother Chaao, what exactly is the Mayor planning?"
Sitting in the shade of a discreet watchpost just down the street from the Iron Core Gym, Chaao and Sythe were drinking tea while keeping watch.
"That... even I do not know," Chaao admitted, putting his tea cup down. "Let's just do what we...
After a grueling, day-long battle of wits and haggling, Zani was finally able to secure the deeds to one of the residential courtyards attached to the Gym's eastern wall.
Although this new plot only covers a mere 2,000 square feet, vastly smaller than the massive 8,000-square-foot training...
After a lengthy and spirited discussion, the gathered hunters finally departed. Zani stood at the main gates, offering respectful farewells until the last man disappeared down the dusty street.
"Brother Zani, won't they simply abandon us the moment their wings harden and they reap the initial...
After firmly posting the notice outside the gates, Zani's schedule became incredibly packed.
The following morning, he and his ten fully funded inner disciples spent the entirety of their time cleaning the old kitchen. With the subterranean equipment now hauled into main hall, this space was...
CLANG!
The heavy iron doors groaned in protest as Zani pushed them open, revealing a steep stone staircase descending into subterranean darkness. This space, originally an ancient cold-storage cellar attached to the kitchen, had been meticulously cleaned and sealed by Zani to serve as his...
On that exact same day, deep within Grains City.
"Damn it! Damn that cowardly Shifti!"
Pacing furiously across his grand office, Mayor Salam cursed and huffed with uncharacteristic rage. His massive wooden desk was completely buried under stacks of intelligence reports detailing every known...
The moon hung high over Big Wheat Village, casting a silver glow over the quiet courtyards.
Sipping hot herbal tea and enjoying the crisp night wind, Zani was reclining casually on the roof of the Iron Core Gym. Ah, the bliss.

Grains City.
Inside the Swift Leg Dojo.
"Master Shifti, you called for me?"
Having hurried over the moment a junior disciple summoned him, Reo, who had been diligently practicing his leg techniques on the profound plum blossom poles, stood respectfully in his master's presence.
Glancing up...
After bidding a respectful farewell to his very first graduate disciple, Zani waited until the massive crowd finally dispersed. Then, enlisting the help of his inner disciples, he cleaned up the courtyard and firmly secured the heavy iron gates of the Iron Core Gym.
Knowing human greed, he was...
