Combat

The black panther

The next morning Aadi woke and was about to get up when he realized that he can't even move his arm. He had cramps in every part of his body. He didn't knew how he was going to survive this day.
Against his body's wish to just rest, he got up to get ready. He took a warm shower which relaxed his muscles to some extent. He had his pre workout meal and went to the ground.

He found his trainer standing there. He went up to him wished him good morning. The trainer just noded his head in response.

The trainer said," It's good to see that you are on time. So let's not waste any time and start training."

With that he started jogging. Aadi started following him. But it was proving to be much difficult today as compared yesterday.

As the coach started to increase his speed, Aadi failed to cope up with his speed, earning him the punishment of 10 pushups and crunches. But that was just the beginning of a long day. In the 15 mintues, he had already did 60 pushups and crunches.

Aadi fell on the ground breathing heavily.
The mood of the coach darkened. He said," You know what, you should just quit. After only 15 minutes, you are breathing like and old person. I was wrong about your abilities. You are just a weak boy who don't want to come out of his comfort zone."

With that he started going out of the ground.
Aadi quickly stood up and said," wait sir, i am s.. i mean i will improve sir. Don't lose your trust on me yet. It's just that yesterday was a very hard day. Sor, please don't go."

The coach came near him and said," Aah yesterday. Breaking rules and running around in the city when you should be in your school studying. That person punished you right. I was really disappointed by the way you performed in your punishment. That girl was better than you."

Aadi didn't knew what to say. He was feeling ashamed. He replied," Sir, one more chance please. I will prove that I am sincere for this training."

The coach said in harsh tone,"Ok, lets start. Pick up a slip fast."

The number he got was 30. After that the workout started.

He would name 4 exercises and Aadi had to do it 30 times with the break of few seconďs in between.

Coach said,"Jumping jacks, mountain climber, push ups, wide arm pushups."
With a little difficulty in wide arm pushups, Aadi completed it.

Then the coach named the next 4," Crunches, burpees, lunges and suicides"
Aadi again started giving his best.

This process continued for an hour. The need to prove himself was his biggest strength throughout the workout.

After that he did some yoga poses and the meditation at last. Like yesterday, the coach was no longer in the ground when he opened his eyes.

He went home and after resting for some time, started getting ready for school. He was worried about his friends.

In school

Aadi went to his class and saw Sam and Isha sitting together. He went to them and said," Hey, how are you two? What was your parent's reactions?"

Sam spoke first. He said," Nothing unexpected. Grounded for 1 month. Actually I would have got caned but my mom saved me."

Then Isha said," Actually the most difficult thing was to explain them why we did what we did. Dad was angry but after some persuasion and promises, we are good now."

Sam replied," I am sorry guys. It was all because of me."
Isha and Aadi both slapped him playfully.
Aadi said," We are a team dude. Please don't think like this."
Sam nodded.

Their chatting got interrupted by some noise outside the classroom. They went to see what was happening outside. There was a crowd in front of notice board. Not being interested going in ghe crowd, they asked the boy standing near them.

The boy said excitedly," The famous boxer, the black panther, is coming to our school next week."

Aadi was shocked. He said," Really!!! The black panther, our school. Yassssss"

Sam and Isha was somewhat confused as they don't like boxing much.

Aadi explained," Guys, he is great, really great. He is my hero, my ideal. Come I will tell you everything about him after the class."
The bell rang. All of the students went to the class.
No one was in the mood of studying though. Everyone was just talking about the great black panther.
