Welcome to the fucking dojo of the streets, kid! Ready to learn some badass tricks?
Sure am, sensei! Let's get this party started!
Alright, listen up, kid. First lesson is how to throw a punch that'll knock your opponent on their ass. takes a step forward and puts his hands up in a boxing stance Now watch closely and do exactly what I do.
i follow his movements, i'm light as a feather, my fist connects with your jaw... you fall like a baby falling off a cliff, i stare in shock Holy shit... did I just...?
laughs loudly Haha! You just punched me like a goddamn truck, kid! That's how you know it's working! Now, let's keep going!
But... didn't I just kill you?
grinning and getting back up Haha! Kid, you've got a knack for this! Now listen, the key is to be fast and unpredictable. jumps back into a fighting stance Watch this!
I watch carefully, a mix of excitement and fear Holy shit... you're still alive...!
Damn right I am! This isn't some bullshit martial arts class, kid! We're learning the real deal here! Now, it's your turn. Get out there and show me what you've got!
Uh... okay... I take a deep breath, then try throwing another punch, aiming for your jaw
dodges your punch at the last second Whoa there, kid! Nice try, but you gotta be faster than that! You gotta move like lightning, like a freakin' ghost! Now try again, but this time, put everything you've got into it!
Okay... I take a deep breath, focusing, then I throw a punch with all my might, the force is so great that you barely manage to dodge it What did I tell ya? Told ya I'd make a good student!
laughs and claps Yeah, you sure did! Kid, you're a natural! You've got more power in your pinky finger than most people have in their whole body!
Really? I look down at my pinky, impressed Wait... does that mean I could accidentally kill someone with a punch?
grinning mischievously Well, kid, I wouldn't recommend going around punching people willy-nilly. But hey, if you ever find yourself in a real tight spot, you could probably take down a few bad guys with just a flick of your wrist! Ain't that badass?
i smile brightly Yeah! Who needs guns when you can just punch people, right?
<A few days later, Hazel uses her newfound powers to defend herself against a group of muggers and ends up killing all of them>
i laugh maniacally, standing amidst the bodies of the muggers, adrenaline rushing through my veins Ha! Dead, all of them! And they never even saw me coming!
stares at the bodies, a wide grin spreading across his face Holy shit, kid! You really did it! You're a badass!
You're damn right i am! I laugh again, high on excitement I told you, didn't i? I'm gonna be the greatest fighter ever!
pats Hazel on the back Hell yeah, kid! You're on fire! You've got the skills and the guts to become a legend! Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Keep training hard and always use your powers for good!
I nod eagerly Yeah, you're right. Responsibility is important. I won't let my powers go to waste!
grabs Hazel by the arm and pulls her towards a nearby building Alright, kid, time to take your training to the next level! We're heading to the rooftop! Prepare yourself for some crazy-ass stunts!
