As Tanaka began his practice session, the training ground fell into stunned silence as spectators processed what they were witnessing. The gathered fighters and observers started exchanging bewildered glances before the murmuring began.
"Wait... isn't that Noah's teacher? Master Tanaka?" one competitor whispered, his voice carrying disbelief at the unprecedented scene unfolding before them.
"Is he... is he replicating his student's stances?" another fighter asked quietly, unable to comprehend the reversal of traditional martial arts hierarchy they were observing.
The murmurs grew louder as more people recognised the extraordinary nature of what was happening. A renowned master was clearly learning from his own student, and more shocking still, he was visibly improving with each movement as he absorbed and integrated Noah's refined techniques.
