"THIS IS A DOJO." Kreese cuts the kid off before he could speak further. "You are interrupting my class."

"I'm sorry." Kenny panics. "I didn't know. I—."

"Sensei." Robby cuts in. "Shawn Payne was one of the toughest guys in juvie. Kicked my ass a few times."

"A few times?" Silas mumbles, scoffing. Robby slaps his arm gently as Kenny smiles gently.

Kreese looks to Kenny who was looking down at his shoes. "You know, in the real world, we have to fight our own battles. Cobra Kai and teach you how. But you have to prove you're worthy."

"How do I do that?" Kenny clutches onto his book bag.

"Take your shoes off. Get on the mat." Kreese instructs.

A nervous Kenny sucks in a breath as he looks to Robby for some type of reassurance, but when he doesn't get any, he looks to Silas who gave him a smile and nod, encouraging him to do as told.

Something about Silas made feel almost...safe in a way. He hoped he wouldn't disappoint.

"This shouldn't be the way he's introduced." Silas hisses at Kreese as he stared at the young kind that anxious stood in the middle of the mat, the other surrounding him, waiting for orders. "He's a kid, if he can't defend himself against bullies, why would he be able to defend himself against these guys? Let's start him off like we did Ant—."

"You trust me?"

"That has nothing to do with—."

"Alright, Mr.Payne." Kreese ignores Silas, who rolls his eyes as he sits down on a bench as he stared at the boy, getting ready to jump in if he needed too. "Let's see what you got. Mr.Park?"

Kyler gets up, going in front of Kenny who immediately looked at Kreese with wide eyes. "How am I supposed to fight if I haven't had any training yet?"

"My point." Silas grumbles.

"To be a Cobra Kai, you have to have a killer instinct." Kreese says simply. Kyler cracks his neck, only making Kenny feel worse. "Fighting positions."

"Don't worry, man. I'll go easy on you." Kyler smirks as him and Kenny out their fists up.

"Ais!"

"Ha!" Kyler runs as Kenny, who lets out a squeal as he runs off the mat, laughter spreading throughout the room. Silas felt bad, this was so hard to watch. "Come back on the mat. Grow some pubes. Let's go."

"Watch it, Kyler or else I'll cut your tongue out your mouth." Silas hisses before looking at Kenny. "Hey, kid. It's alright, okay? Take all your anger and use it. That's all you have to do right now."
