Choda returns to the arena opening the doors to see another fight has just ended.
He sees a student rubbing his head while getting up slowly while another student goes back to the sidelines sweaty.
"Just in time kid".
The recruit says as he writes in his clipboard.
"You're going against the big boy".
Choda looks over to see who he was talking about when he saw a six foot five Samoan with a clearly full beard thats been shaved down.
"H-how old is he".
Choda says as he trembles.
The recruit looks at choda disgusted at what he asked.
"Don't worry about it, boy".
The recruit pushes choda towards the center before starting the timer.
"We like to move fast in this program in everything we do, prove to me you can keep up freshman".
The other student then runs towards Choda as fast as he can before jumping in the air and getting ready to attack.
Choda freezes for a second before coming back to his senses and barely dodging the other student who slammed both of his feet into the ground in attempt to crush Choda.
"Hey bro you tryna kill me or something chill".
Choda gets in a defensive position before the other student kicks him in his stomach sending him flying backwards and onto the ground.
The other student prepares to do the same attack jumping in the air before choda looks up in fear for his life.
Suddenly he is by the recruit on the sidelines who has his hand on his shoulder while looking at his clipboard.
BOOMMM
The other student does the same attack leaving a faint footprint on the ground.
"Alright Takk, you won".
The recruit says while shaking his head while writing in his clipboard.
Takk, the student Choda fought puffed at choda before walking back to the sidelines while the other students move out his way.
All except for Benji.
"Move twig".
Takk says while looking down on Benji who matches his glare.
Benji smirks menacingly staring Takk in his eyes, the other students watch with phones out waiting for something to happen.
Benji opens his mouth showing his teeth sharpened like a sharks.
"I'd ki-".
Before he finishes his sentence Choda grabs his arm and moves him out of Takks way.
"What you doin bro".
Benji exclaimed at Choda who avoided eye contact embarrassingly.
Takk walks past the two of them with a smirk on his face.
Choda walks to a corner away from everyone else holding his stomach as he sits in the corner closing his eyes looking up into the air trying to prevent a tear from falling.
"I couldn't do it".
"Im too weak".
"He could've killed me".
"Maybe im not meant for this".
Choda spent the rest of the period in that corner.
Later at home Choda is playing a video game when he hears his phone ring.
He looks at the screen to see Aston is calling him.
"Hello".
Choda says blandly
"Wazzaaaaaaaap".
Aston yells into the phone hurting chodas ear.
"I heard from a certain skinny guy that you got beat up today".
"Yea what about it".
Choda gets ready to hang up the phone.
"Thats a great thing Choda!".
Choda looks at his phone confused at what Aston just said.
"How is me almost getting killed a good thing?".
Aston pauses before continuing.
"Because every great hero loses the first ever fight, in every comic and movie your just at the start of your story you know".
"Well ill guess you're right but c'mon I got a long way to go even before I can join a quad".
Choda says.
"Actually you're not far you just need skill, which you already have and a group of four total people that also have skill".
Aston says enthusiastically.
"Who are the other three".
Aston chuckles.
"You, me, and Benji is already three so we just need one more".
"Aston you can't fight the slightest bit, so my only option as of now is benji".
"What you mean Choda, me and you side by side as a quad. Certified to patrol the public and stop crime against people the police cant handle. We might even get famous or something who knows".
"Aston get off my phone and go train since you wanna be in a quad so bad, I cant be looking over my shoulder protecting you".
Choda hangs up the phone and gets back to playing the video game.
"Choda!".
His mom yells from downstairs.
"Come wash these dishes boy!".
