"Don't add too much water. You wanna make it nice and thick." I drop a bag of dry cement and look at dad
"Why exactly are we helping a construction sight, isn't this illegal?" Dad looks at me
"I'm not making you do any of the hard work, so zip it." I groan and carry on doing what I was told to do, Miguel shovels the wet cement
"Sensei, why are we mixing wet cement?" Dad looks at him
"No questions." Miguel continues
"All right." Dad calls to everyone
"Keep stirring!" Eli adds some more wet cement, I grab some water and put it in the mix, we've been doing this for almost three hours now, it's getting tiresome, then suddenly a massive cement mixer comes in and blows it horn, dad goes over and greets the guy that gets out of the van, I take a deep breath
"Dads officially lost his mind." Dad soon stops us and makes us line up in front of the cement mixer
"You think winning the All Valley gives you the right to goof off? Well, I got new for you." He leaves the side of the mixer and begins walking back and forth
"Winning one championship don't mean squat. A true champion never stops training. You gotta keep moving forward... or else you could get stuck exactly where you are. It's like the cement in this truck. That drum doesn't start turning, the cement inside will harden and get stuck. Is that what you want to happen to you?" We all call
"No, Sensei!" Dad looks at all of us
"Good. Then climb up, get inside, and make it spin." Everyone begins to murmur in confusion, dads being deadly serious, Aisha calls
"Sensei, we're sorry for messing around." Eli adds
"We learned our lesson." Dad slams the ladder down
"Get in!" Miguel responds
"Sensei, this seems dangerous. I mean, the fumes alone-" Kreese interrupts him
"Quiet!" He walks forward to us
"This man led you to the mountaintop, and you question him? Look at you. Look at all of you. I can't believe this pathetic pack of pussies competed in the All Valley, and let alone won. It's an absolute miracle. And who's responsible for that miracle?" He points at dad
"Johnny Lawrence. The best student in history of Cobra Kai. My student." Eli looks shocked
"You were Sensei's Sensei?" I look at him
"I told you that." He looks confused then realises, Kreese seems oddly proud
"You better believe it, kid. And I tell you I've never trained a tougher student in my whole life. So, if you know what's good for you, you better listen to every goddamn word he says." Miguel steps forward
"I'll do it, Sensei." Miguel walks forward and goes in, Eli follows and soon a couple of others follow, as it come to me I look at dad
"I can't. I slip and I'm screwed." He nods
"I know, go get the hose, we'll hose them down when they get out." I nod
"Okay." I go off and get the hose, once I'm back we watch patiently to see if they do it, and suddenly it begins to spin, I become shocked
"Holy shit!" I chuckle in shock, they begin to speed up, all I can hear is yelling from the inside, and to be honest, I've never seen dad as shocked at proud at the same time, they finally get it fully spinning, we all cheer and clap. Soon they calm down and get out, they are coated in wet cement, I chuckle lightly
