The Wolf Who Slithered With Cobras

Chapter 2 Part 2

Miguel Hawk and I had all came to a halt on our electric scooters. Miguel and Hawk were still staring at me and awe surprised to see I could still even ride it with one arm. "What," I asked the two. "You do know if you fall off of that scooter and Mom finds out she's going to kill you right," Miguel said. "Dude I ride dirt bikes and skateboards trust me when I say I can stay balanced," I said smirking. "Yeah whatever," Miguel said smiling. "All right so I get my license next week my mom's going to give me her Sentra, I'm thinking about putting a blue racing stripe down the middle Hood to tail," Hawk said enthusiastically. "Subtle I like it," Miguel said. we walk towards the dojo but stop dead in our tracks when we saw a bunch of kids standing outside of it. "Looks like we got some new students," Miguel said. "Fresh fish" Hawk said slapping my chest. I smiled as we walked over to the new students. One of the kids noticed us and smiled our way. "The champs" he called us. "Check this out," Hawk said excitedly. "Wait don't-" "hey mouth-breathers, move it" Hawk ordered. "Sorry we'll get the door for you," one of them said smiling in my face. "Did I ask you to get the door for me?" I asked with a cold voice. They both grew terrified looks on their faces as I looked at them. "Come on, calm down Carlos he was just being considerate," Miguel said. "So you guys want to be Cobra Kias huh" before they could reply Hawk faked a punch at them making them both jump back. "You've got a long way ahead of you," he said before we all walked inside the dojo. 

We walked inside the dojo to still see the damage from the night before. "What the hell happened here," Miguel asked. I just scratched the back of my head. "Looks like sensei threw a party, "Aisha said. "must have got pretty sick if it fires involved". The rest of the kids that wanted to join were waiting outside. I came in and there was a lot of noisier than it usually was. All of a sudden we heard a shout and make the room go quiet. "The dojo is close to new students today," Sensei said "We just wanted to sign up after we saw the tournament," one kid said. "do I need to say it again get out," he said angrily. I just guessed he was in a bad mood from seeing his Sensei that night. They all walked out of the dojo very disappointed. Miguel, Hawk, and I didn't even have time to get changed into our gis before since I told everyone to fall in. "Must have been a rager sensei" "Yeah were you celebrating all weekend?" Miguel said with a smile. "Celebrating what my students are a bunch of pussies" sensei said making the three of us frown. "Diaz, Wolf, Hawk, upfront," he said. The three of us looked at each other with confusion before we all stood up front. "Hawk did you purposely attack your opponent when his back was turned," sensei asked. "Yes sensei," Hawk said confused. "Diaz did you purposely attack your opponent's injury". "Yes sensei". "And Wolf did you purposely disobey my direct orders". "Yes sensei, "I said. He stood in front of the three of us before saying "you think that makes you badass". We were all confused about what to say as no words came from our mouths. "What's the matter to tough of a question maybe you need some help, Miss Robinson" "yes," Aisha said standing up straight. "Two cobras in a jungle, one kills the strongest lion and the other kills a crippled monkey, which Cobra do you want to be," he asked her. "The one that kills the lion sensei". "And why is that". "because it killed a stronger opponent," she said. "Correct" sensei said looking at the three of us. "Cobra Kai is about being badass and the badest badass is the one who beat his opponent when he's at a strongest," he said talking to the class. "Not when his back is turned, not when he's injured, I am the Sensei follow my orders" he yelled in my face. "Is that understood" "yes sensei" we all said together. "That means no more cheating, no more dirty moves, from here on out those are pussy moves you don't want to be pussies do you," he asked. "No sensei," we said again. "Good, that's why I had you wearing your white belts we're starting over," he said. He turned to the three of us and said "Diaz, Hawk, Wolf, 50 push-ups on your knuckles". "But Sensei Carlos's arm is still in a sling," Miguel said. "Oh yeah," he said. "just forget it," I said annoyed. I then got down on one arm and started performing one-arm push-ups. "That works," Sensei said before walking into the back.

After we all got done with our push-ups Miguel and I both headed towards the back to talk with Sensei. "Sensei can we talk to you for a sec," Miguel asked. "what do you want," he said in a cold tone. "What is that out there, punishing us for winning the tournament for defending ourselves," I said. Sensei sighed and put down his newspaper and looked at us. "I'm teaching you a lesson". "Yeah what about no mercy, you taught us to win at all costs," Miguel said. "Yeah well maybe I'm still learning a bit too," he said softly. "I just don't understand, you had no problem with us attacking everyone else why take pity on Robby Keene," Miguel asked frustrated. I knew the reason and it was slowly killing me little by little. He got up from his seat and stood in front of us. "Look I wasn't talked to the difference between mercy and honor, in the end, I paid the price for it, if I'm extra hard on you two it's because I want you to to be better than me, and it's only because you two have the potential to be better than I ever was you guys want that don't you," he asked. We both nodded at his words before he smiled at us. "All right and stop whining like a bunch of little bitches and get out there and finish your drills," he said. After everyone was done with practice for today everybody packed up their belongings headed out? I was right behind Miguel and Hawk when we walked out of the dojo. I looked over to see Aisha talking to Sam. "So you guys ready for this movie tonight" hawk asked "Actually I'm going to help sensei get the dojo all fixed up," I said smiling. "All right see you later man" hawk said giving me a fist bump.
