I kick a tree for the 1000th time and and core starts to Crack from my repeated strikes. I stop to look up into the moonlit sky and think back to when I first started to train under sensei.

My friends and I were accompanying sensei to the market for spices. Back then we were naive to how powerful and well respected he was. We were all talking to a merchant for the nice price of spice ice when a peasant stupidly bumped into sensei and fell on the ground. Sensei turned to look down at him.
The whole market stopped moving.
I looked around the market in awe at how many faces were terrified, anxious at what sensei would do next. I was just as curious as them because I didn't know what to expect.
Sensei's mouth opened.
"I'LL FUCKING KICK YOUR ASS YOU BETTER WATCH OUT OR I'LL KICK YOUR ASS DUDE!"
I gasped. Never in my life have I had so much respect for one person and he changed that. From that moment on I was proud to be one of sensei's pupils.
Not only was he respectable, but he was powerful. Before we met sensei the only way Genos and I could calm Spenca out of his titan form was to give him 5 gallons of sake, but the first time Spenca turned titan when sensei was around all it took was a rub on the head and the destruction was prevented. Along with controlling Spenca's titan form he could also absorb Genos's kamehameha and he could even seal my 9 tails.
He truly is amazing, I think to myself as I stare at the moon.
