Under the harsh, fluorescent lights of the school gymnasium, the ambiance was charged with a kinetic energy that could only be attributed to the presence of the school's Judo team. Their grunts and cries echoed off the tall, cavernous walls as they engaged in rigorous training. Standing head and shoulders above them was their captain, Pathn, his body outlined with the solid, powerful lines of an athlete who has given his all to his sport.

"Wow, Pathn, you're on fire today!"

Shouted a friend, admiration lacing his words. His cheeks were flushed with exertion, a bead of sweat trailing down his temple. His voice was barely heard over the chorus of other shouts and the slapping noise of bodies hitting the mats.

"Yeah, he makes it look so easy,”
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZdRxz6zSj
Chimed in another, watching as Pathn executed a complex maneuver with the ease of a well-practiced dance.

Pathn acknowledged the comments with a simple nod, his dark eyes never wavering from the task at hand. He was in the zone, each move a calculated step towards perfection. Every heave of his toned muscles, every drop of sweat sliding down his forehead, served as testament to his unwavering dedication.

"Alright guys, focus on your move,"
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDR3id1lRg
Pathn's voice cut through the commotion, as cold and commanding as ever. The room fell silent for a moment, every eye trained on him, before they returned to their matches, their movements now carrying a newfound purpose.

With his guidance, every member of the team turned their attention back to their practice. The room filled with an orchestra of grunts, gasps, and the sound of bodies colliding with the judo mat. It was a testament to their shared perseverance. Amidst the symphony, Pathn stood out, an unwavering force on the mat. His every move was calculated, his focus unbreakable.

His final takedown was a spectacle to behold - swift, precise, victorious. The exhilaration that coursed through his veins made him pump his fist in the air. His friends erupted into cheers, slapping his back and high-fiving him in their shared joy.

"Good job today, guys," Pathn praised, his voice filled with the rare warmth that only his teammates had the privilege to witness. "We're getting stronger each day."
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUvjnq191D
"I couldn't have improved this fast without your help, Pathn. You're a great leader."
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1Qmd0QuqC
Praise flowed from one of his teammate. His friends nodded in agreement, their eyes shining with admiration. Pathn managed a genuine smile at the compliment. The feeling of respect and camaraderie that filled the air was something he cherished deeply.

Their laughter and good-natured ribbing echoed through the locker room as they got ready to head home. Suddenly, one friend, looking a bit hurried, offered a casual farewell to the group.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGNEl7i9l5
"Why are you in such a rush today? Got a date with a girl?" another friend teased.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgcpdbSQ7Y
"Yeah, quite a hot one too!"
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL8w5Yulad
The rushed friend replied with a mischievous smile. The others laughed, sending waves of jestful commentary through the locker room air. Their eyes then turned towards Pathn.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwR6bb6HWP
"What about you, Captain? You don't date girls like he does?"
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKVkJ1aFdq
"Well, I'm not seeking more problems right now," Pathn replied nonchalantly, an undertone of playfulness in his voice.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg7wX29GEG
"Alright, our handsome captain, we'll wait to see your girl," one of them commented, followed by a chorus of laughter.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNj6KkRdWj
As the laughter subsided, Ton, a close friend, approached Pathn with a serious expression.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1jX1nRflB
"Hey, Pathn, I wanted to ask you for something."
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cjlaqKUla
Pathn regarded him with a curious gaze. Ton was not known for mincing words, so whatever he had in mind had to be serious.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA16psOqnUd
"I was wondering if you wanted to join me as a staff member for the new student orientation and activity day next week.We need all the help we can get, and I know you'd be great at it,” Ton continued, his hopeful eyes meeting Pathn's.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ls5yPfomP
Pathn blinked, taken aback. Public interactions and socializing were not his strong suits, and the thought of handling a horde of newcomers felt daunting.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGffsXjcVHs
"I don't know, Ton. I'm not sure I'm the right person for this,”
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyfhFIyGXg
Pathn confessed, the unease in his voice matching the apprehension in his eyes. But Ton wasn’t one to back down easily.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA4E6jMSgm
"Nonsense. You're perfect for it. This could be a chance for you to meet new people, make new friends even. Consider this, Pathn.”
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO4qmREX9v
Pathn weighed his options, his brows furrowed. While he knew Ton was right, the thought of stepping out of his comfort zone made him anxious. Yet, a part of him also understood the need to broaden his horizons. After a moment's contemplation, he gave a short nod, determination solidifying his decision.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE8aPcc1gx
"Alright. I'll do it. I'll be there for the orientation day.”
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ3s7BgHO4
Ton beamed, clapping Pathn on the back enthusiastically. "You won't regret this, I promise.”
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywtxPkvDXp
Pathn wasn’t so sure about that, but he managed a small smile for Ton’s sake. As he left the gymnasium, his mind was filled with an unusual sense of curiosity and anticipation.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwA3Apl8OW
"Can't believe I agreed to this," he muttered to himself, his thoughts already spiraling with what he’d gotten himself into.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ga8jHvYFy
Yet, beneath the surface of his trepidation, there was a small, persistent voice whispering of change and growth. Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad, after all. Perhaps he was ready for this new challenge. Only time would tell.
