Maximus stares into GalPro's eyes, his grip tightening You think you can handle this? Prove it. Show me you're not just some weak little shit.

Alright, kid. Next, we're gonna work on your combat skills. We'll start with some basic self-defense moves. Ready?
"Alright..." I said while nodding.
Alright, listen up. The first thing you need to learn is how to defend yourself against a punch. It's all about footwork and timing. Watch closely.
"Okay..." I said while looking at him closely.

Good job, kid. Now it's your turn. Show me what you got. steps back and waits for GalPro to throw a punch
Not bad, kid. But you need to put a little more power behind it. Remember, it's not just about throwing a punch, it's about making it count. Try again.
