Chimper #1450
The Second-Best Rock Mover in their training platoon has a name, and it is Hizumi. The first, to their eternal frustration, is a smug chimp named Ryo. Their rivalry began not on the battlefield, but in the training yards of The Teikodian Empire, over who could lift a heavier geode without grunting. It escalated to who could keep their tactical goggles cleaner and who could feign attention best during lectures. Their long-suffering instructor, tired of the constant one-upmanship, forced them to learn the defensive arts of Kaunto-juba together. They had to mirror one another's movements perfectly, a task that produced more arguments than grace. Yet, something clicked. Their bickering found a rhythm, and their shared stubbornness created an unbreakable, if noisy, defensive wall.
