Short Story From Class

Last Wednesday, during class by the water in El Lago, a 9-year-old named Mia faced a bully in role-play. She used her voice to stand up, then practiced a wrist-release technique from Yaeger’s Fighting System. Afterward, she beamed with pride, telling her mom, “I feel strong and ready!”
