Champion Tide – Season 2
Chapter 3: Training, laughter and madness on the beach
The sun was shining brightly on the shores of Azrat's house, a place that had already become the training sanctuary of the Blue Mountain team. The sound of the waves accompanied the echo of the strokes and the gasps of the team that tried its best.
"Let's go!" I want to see those arms fly! - Aurora shouted, while watching from the shore.
Talion pushed himself forcefully, moving with incredible speed, as if the water belonged to him. By his side, Luz struggled to stay close, taking advantage of his agility.
"Don't trust yourself, champion!" Luz joked, while throwing a splash of water at him.
Talion smiled and accelerated even more, leaving Luz behind.
"Hey, cheater!" Luz complained, shaking her soaked hair.
"You know I'm the king of water, baby," Talión said, winking at him.

A training that brought out the best in each one
The team trained without rest for hours.
?? Bruno worked on his turning technique, striving to improve the speed of his turns.
?? Jocelyn practiced her resistance, swimming long distances without stopping, showing that her strength continued to grow.
?? Azrat focused on his speed, demonstrating that he could reach rhythms that previously seemed impossible.

?? Aurora supervised everything like a true leader, correcting key details in each team member.
When they finished, everyone was exhausted... except Azrat, who kept jumping like crazy.
"How the hell do you still have energy?" Bruno growled, lying in the sand.
"I'm Azrat Prime, baby... I never stop." Azrat said, winking at him.

The night before the trip
With the sunset light bathing the beach, the team decided to relax a little. They gathered around an improvised bonfire, sharing stories and laughter.
"Do you remember when Luz ended up in Talión's bed thinking it was a stuffed animal?" Jocelyn said, laughing.
"That was the fault of my sleepwalking!" Luz protested, blushing.
"Sleepwalking?" said Talión, laughing. If you yourself said that you found my chest "warm and comfortable."
Luz covered her face, dead of shame.
"Now, now, now... shut up." Luz murmured.
"And what about the day Azrat tried to introduce us to Stephanie and we all thought he had invented her?" Bruno blurted out laughing.
"But they already saw that it's real!" Azrat protested. And by the way... where is it?
The group was silent... until, as if by magic, Stephanie appeared behind Azrat and kissed him on the cheek.
"Did you miss me, handsome?"
"Did you see that?! This time they did see her! -Azrat shouted excitedly, while the team laughed out loud.

Private scene: Talión and Luz
Later that night, Talión and Luz moved a little away from the group to walk along the beach.
"Are you nervous about Japan?" Luz asked, intertwining her fingers with Talion's.
"A little... but with you by my side, I always feel calm."
Luz smiled and stopped.
"Do you want to relax a little more?" he said with a mischievous look.
Talión raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?"
Luz approached, gently biting Talion's lip.
"You know... our special therapy."
Talion smiled and took him by the waist.
"You're right... it's my perfect medicine."
What happened next would be lost in the darkness of the beach, but the sighs, the contained laughter and the bodies entangled in the sand made it clear that that night would be unforgettable.

The trip to Japan
The next day, the team boarded the plane bound for Japan. While everyone settled in their seats, Azrat got up and raised his voice:
"Friends!" On this trip no one sleeps... let's talk about the whole flight!
"If you dare to wake me up, I'll throw you out the window!" Jocelyn shouted, throwing a pillow at him.
The group burst out laughing, knowing that this new adventure was just beginning.
Talión looked at Luz, who settled on his shoulder to sleep.
"We're going for everything, baby..." Talión whispered, closing his eyes.
