The eudaemonia of love -Anthony Larusso

chapter 12

ONE DAY BEFORE THE TOURNAMENT

"Tomorrow is the tournament you guys. We're gonna train harder then we ever did. We're gonna work our asses off." Kreese said.

"Line up!" Silver shouted through the entire dojo. We all lined up in lines, and started training.

"Y/n, your doing the weapons." Kreese said pointing at the weapons that we're dangling against the wall

"Yes, sensei." I said grabbing two weapons, that looked like knives. I started practicing with the knives-looking like weapons.

After a while i started growing a bit tired but i still continued practicing till i got every little single thing perfect.

"I could literally stab someone's eye out with these things." I thought.

Meanwhile with Anthony...

"Agh!" I groaned as i fell on the floor after the hard technique i tried.

"Okay, today's training is over. We started from  7AM till 3PM." Johnny said, i sighed.

I walked over to my bike, and went back to my dad's casita. "I'm here." I said.
"Finally, where were you Anthony?" My dad asked me.

"Oh y'know, a walk so i could clear my mind." I said. "Fine, get in line." My dad said. We all started kicking and swinging at each other.

I've beat most of them, and i'm proud. There's just one person i badly wanna beat at the tournament. Kenny.

"Today's practice is over. See you all tomorrow at the tournament." My dad said to us, everyone waved each other and left the dojo.

I stayed, i wanted to ask my dad something. "Hey dad. Can i ask you something?" I asked him. "Yes of course. What do you wanna ask me?" he asked.

"You, know that technique right? The one where you said "i hope none of us have to ever use this technique." Can you teach me that technique?" I asked him.

"No, Anthony. It's too dangerous." My dad said disagreeing. "Please dad! It's the only chance, for us to beat cobra kai in the tournament." I said.

"I-.." my dad started. "Please! You know that i'm right! You'll stop being a sensei, and Johnny too! Think about it! Please!" I said.

"I-... ugh.. fine." My dad said nodding. I let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you." I said hugging him.

He brought me inside his Casita, and took the old crumbled piece of paper out of its box again.

"Anthony, are you sure? This technique will cost you 7 hours practice." My dad said. "Im sure." I said.

"Okay then." My dad said ready to teach me one of the most dangerous karate techniques in miyagi-do karate.

Back to y/n...

"I am dead." I said after my 8 hours of practice. "Damn, you really want to win this tournament don't you?" Tory asked me.

"I do." I said placing my hands on my hips, "well good luck to the both of us." She said smirking at me.

"Thank you." I said smiling at her. "I kinda want ice cream. Wanna go to the mall?" She asked me.

"Duh." I said smirking at her, she linked our arms together and walked out of the dojo after we both changed into our normal clothes and a shower.

•••

"I really, like this taste." I said eating my ice cream. "Same, this is a heavenly taste." She said chuckling.

"It definitely is." I said, i was laughing with her till i noticed an old man staring at us, i recognised him from somewhere. I just couldn't lay my finger on it.

I tapped Tory's shoulder. "Do you see that man too?" I asked her nodding towards the old man. As she turned around again, she nodded at me "yeah, i do."

We both turned around again, just to see that the man has disappeared. We both looked at each other our eyebrows scrunching up in confusion.

We just decided to go back home, i went up to my room and took a proper shower. I ate some pizza down stairs, while my mom was watching some tv.

After finishing my pizza, i went back upstairs. The image of the old man passing my mind all the time. I just sighed and decided to go to sleep early

Tomorrow's the tournament and i need to fight my kind-off friends. That's perfect. I just need to shrug my thoughts off and go to sleep
