After them were Dragon Soul, Dark Panther, Fierce Tiger, Cobra, Lionheart, and Scorpion, However, the War Wolf Special Forces had struggled recently.
For years, they had barely managed to hold on, their pride and reputation slipping.

In recentpetitions, the War Wolf instructors had been inexperienced, often only promoted to gain at
title.
The others, though they noticed, chose to ignore it.
Gavin, the leader of Dragon Soul, was a seasoned veteran
His seat was always first, followed by the others in order of rank.
This time, nothing had changed.
As the instructors settled into their seats, Robin walked up to Gavin. Stand up, he said calmly, "You''re sitting in the wrong spot.
All eyes in the room turned to Robin.
Gavin frowned, his finger pointing at the namete in front of him. "This is my seat," he replied. "It doesn''t have your name on it. Who are you?"
The other instructors exchanged nces, their eyes sharp with mockery.
Everyone knew who Gavin was. He was a warrior of renown, feared by many, second only to Wilson himself.
To challenge him in front of everyone was unthinkable Yet Robin had done just that.
