"You idiot!" Shaz exclaimed, as he quickly pivoted to be beside Kiro, still hanging onto his arm, as he grabbed onto the boy's waist with his free hand before completely slinging him over his shoulder. Kiro fell flat on his back, as he grunted a bit. The boy slowly rolled over onto his stomach, as he started to get back up. If it weren't for all of his painful 'lessons' thus far, he would have already been down for the count. "Well," Shaz smirked, as he walked over beside the boy, who had just gotten up to a single knee, "at least you can take a hit." The bully laughed, as he grabbed Kiro by the hair. Kiro winced, as the bully had gotten to him before he had a chance to recover. Many people cheered and laughed from the audience, as Shaz went in for another devastating attack. Shaz lifted Kiro up slightly, before launching his face back into the ground, his hand guiding it all the way. A loud slamming sound could be heard, as Kiro's face was driven into the wood floor. His face slid slightly, leaving a small trail of blood. Shaz let go of his head once the freshman had stopped moving, as he brought his hand to his face to blow out the loose strands of hair that were once on Kiro's head. The crowd had quieted down, as most simply sat in shock at Shaz's brutality. The attack was so devastating, most people felt like they could feel it themselves. "Man, this wasn't even worth the entrance fee, the fight's already over!" One man complained from his seat. "Well, it's too late now, pal. No refunds." Niijima laughed evilly from a far, seemingly unaffected by Kiro's quick defeat. "I'm tired of being put up against these talentless amateurs." Shaz sighed with boredom, as he stared down at the motionless boy. "I got my hopes up for nothing." He mumbled, as he started to turn to walk away.

"Man, if he can still move after that, it's no wonder he beat a guy like Ijime!" Another person mumbled. Shaz slowly turned back around, as he was shocked to find Kiro was now fully risen to his feet. He stood strong in his horse stance, his eyes shifted towards the ground. Kiro's leg's trembled, as they were already ready to give in and fall back to the floor. His arms were the same way, as he almost felt like he had a couple of his dumbbells in either hand. "I may not have any natural talent, but someone told me," he rose his eyes to face Shaz's (at least, his sunglasses), "hard work always trumps over talent! I've been training my hardest for the last month, as my masters have been trying just as hard to teach a sad soul like myself. If I lose now, and throw away all the hard work and effort I've put in, I'm not sure I'll have the heart to face." Kiro wiped a some blood dripping down from his mouth, as he kept his stance strong. He was ready this time, as Kiro knew his training wouldn't fail him, not if he stopped playing around and put it to use.
