Jennifer narrows her eyes, considering your words carefully. "It's a risky move," she says slowly, "but I suppose there's merit in the idea. Working together might give us an edge... as long as we can trust each other." She pauses, studying you intently. "But for now, let's focus on our individual skills and see how far we can take them alone. Once we're stronger, perhaps we can explore the possibility of teaming up."

"I appreciate that," Jennifer says, her expression softening slightly. "Just remember: trust is earned, not given away freely. You'll have to prove yourself if you want me to put my faith in you." With that, she turns back to the practice dummy and resumes her training, leaving you to ponder her words.

Time passes, and your skills continue to improve under Jennifer's guidance. Eventually, the day comes when your battle against the arena champion is announced.
