Fence Challengers: Long Shot (2024-)

The Kings Row team arrives at the State Championships carrying the unexpected weight of their new reputation. Fresh from Halverton Training Camp, they are no longer anonymous underdogs but marked competitors. The first match pits them against old training rivals, a familiar challenge made more complex by the rising, unspoken attraction between Nicholas and Seiji. Their coach, MacRob, counters the opposition with a concealed tactical adjustment, a quiet pivot that shifts the momentum on the strip. The air in the arena is thick with the scent of resin and focused anticipation.
