Pov of Ana

The stern reprimand cut through the air, jolting me as I stood at the martial arts company's entrance. My breath hitched, panic sweeping over me. Before me stood a figure, probably an assistant or an official, their eyes sharp and filled with disapproval.

"I-I'm sorry," I stuttered, trying to compose myself. "I overslept, missed my bus—"

"Excuses won't change what's happened," they interrupted, their tone firm. "The opportunity you had was time-sensitive, and it's gone now."

My heart sank like a stone. I had banked everything on this chance, and now, my lateness threatened to ruin it all. Disappointment weighed heavily on my shoulders, making the failure sting even more.

"Please, just a moment," I pleaded, desperation and determination mingling in my voice. "I've come so far... I'll do anything. Give me another chance, please."

Their gaze softened slightly, but their decision stood strong. "I can't make promises. Your absence caused inconvenience during a crucial demonstration. We'll let you know if there's a chance to reschedule."

As they turned away, my heart sank deeper. Frustration, regret, and a sense of defeat churned within. Tears threatened to spill, but I fought them back, refusing to surrender to the encroaching despair.

With a heavy heart and a clouded mind, I turned away from the martial arts company, carrying the weight of a missed opportunity.

As I made my way out, feeling disheartened and crestfallen, I collided with someone. "Ow!"

"Watch where you going," he said it in a firm voice. I lifted my head said ...

"Oh, I'm so sorry," I quickly apologized. But as I glanced up, my jaw dropped to the floor how sharp he is meeting their eyes, i look a quick glance of the his psychics everything was perfect but however something seemed off about the person's chest.

"What you looking at?"  He asked firmly and looked furious. I took a close look at his chest and Without a moment's hesitation, my instincts took over. In a swift motion, I adjusted the shape with a slight maneuver, and there it was—a quiet, satisfying crack as everything fell back into place.

Ana's hand moved with practiced precision, almost like a subtle dance in the air. With a swift and purposeful gesture, she adjusted the person's chest, her fingers gliding with a subtle grace, aligning everything perfectly. A faint but satisfying crack followed, signaling the swift correction she made.

"Hopefully, you'll feel better now that the imbalance on the left side of your chest, which had a crack causing you pain, has been resolved." As the man felt the adjustment in his chest and turned to confront me, his eyes rolled with impatience. With a disdainful huff, he pivoted on his heels, striding away without another word, leaving me standing there, feeling the weight of missed chances and a lingering sense of frustration.

"I don't understand. 'She,' Coach?" I queried, my confusion evident in my tone.

"Listen, Wang, I know you're hesitant about having a woman around, but trust me, she's a professional physiotherapist with an impressive CV. Let her showcase her skills, and then you can decide whether she's the right fit or not," Coach said, aggravating my irritation.

"Fine," I forced myself to agree, though reluctantly.

"Well, well, Coach, don't even think about hiring her; I can't stand tardiness," I declared, rising from my seat and exiting the training area.

Couch, with a raised brow and arms spread in query, asked, "Where do you think you're going?" I turned to respond.

"To the garden," I replied, hearing his sigh of frustration.

"Ugh! Max, stay put, and if she arrives, cancel her appointment."

"Understood, Coach," Max responded dutifully. As I made my way toward the training area, focused on the day's practice, someone collided into me with surprising force. The sudden impact startled me, causing me to stumble back a step. I turned, my brows furrowed in confusion, to see who had bumped into me so unexpectedly.

Despite the force of the collision, I stood my ground. Despite their attempt to jostle me, I remained resolute, my stature unwavering. Annoyance etched across my features, but my stance remained unyielding, unbothered by the impact.

I suddenly heard a startled "Ow!" My irritation spiked. "Wait, is that a woman?" I demanded, my tone firm.

"Watch where you're going," I reprimanded.

"My apologies, si-" She abruptly fell silent. Annoyed by her silence, I pressed further, "What are you staring at?"

But she ignored my question, fixating on my chest. Without warning, she swiftly moved closer and made a sudden motion, touching me. There was a distinct crack.

Frustrated by her peculiar behavior and nonsensical muttering, I decided I'd had enough. Without another word, I swiftly departed from there, leaving her to her odd actions behind me.
