Kapitel 8: Practice
For those wondering about the lack of consistent characterization, I say only one sentence:
"There are no accidents..."
If any of my characters are acting different from how they should be acting, please know that it's always on purpose and there is something else going on. ____________________________________________
A young boy's groans rung throughout as he was slammed onto the courtyard floor.
Dust was kicked up, making the boy even muddier than he already was.
"Good one...." The boy said to his opponent as he stood up, his legs shaking.
"Can you please stop being a good sportsman? It's really quite frustrating." The other boy said, walking away, his voice a bit rough,
"You made a really good attempt, Wei Chang!" The boy said, smiling innocently,
"..." Wei Chang could only remain speechless at this boy's behaviour,
Suddenly, his face appeared to turn pale as he held his stomach and turned around.
"What happened? Show me your face." The boy said plainly, staring at Wei Chang,
"Not now, Hei Gang!" Wei Chang put his hands over his mouth as he began running the other direction, turning only to get behind a small shack in the large field.
*Pleugh*
"Did some of the effects of what I did last night linger?" Wei Chang said, his face still pale as he stared at the puke which had stained the grass on the floor,
Wei Chang still felt an aching sensation in his stomach as well as strange feeling lingering in his throat.
"Are you okay, man?" Hei Gang walked a bit closer to the small shack which Wei Chang stood behind as he spoke,
"I think I'm sick" Wei Chang spoke, his voice just as rough as before,
"What?! The wrestling tournament is in three days! How did you get sick just now?!" Hei Gang spoke, confusion evident in his voice,
"How would I know?!" Wei Chang spoke, some frustration evident in his own voice,
"We even decided to practice apart from everyone else just so you could show off at the tournament! What are the odds of... this?" Hei Gang spoke, still lamenting the pointlessness of his efforts,
"That's true...." Wei Chang said, a hint of sadness in his heart,

"My skills have reached a plateau."
Wei Chang was pacing around with his head down, thinking about his lack of growth in the past month.
"I don't think I can get away with practicing alone anymore...."
Wei Chang suddenly lifted his head upwards, walking through the door to his house as he walked towards the courtyard in which the boys had once played children's games which had recently been turned into a wrestling ground due to the boys' developing interests.
"Hei Gang!" Wei Chang called out, his voice reverberating from the trees around the yard.
"Hei Gang!" He called out once again,
"Hey!" He shouted out once again,
Wei Chang knew that he was at the courtyard, after all, he had been here only a few minutes before and had seen Hei Gang.
Hei Gang was the type who was hardworking in their approach and constantly practiced. He almost never left the yard at this time in the afternoon.
"I only left to drink some water and this guy randomly dissapears?" Wei Chang thought,
He figured that Hei Gang was resting near one of the trees around the courtyard. Hei Gang often did this when he felt tired.
Wei Chang went looking around the trees and continued calling out his name.
Wei Chang suddenly spotted Hei Gang napping while resting his head on one of the roots of a tree which stuck out of the ground, his head in a somewhat uncomfortable position.
Wei Chang walked over towards Hei Gang, kneeling over him before....
*Clap*
"Ugh..." Hei Gang groaned as he was woken up by a sharp pain on his right cheek,
He looked upwards at Wei Chang, still rubbing his eyes.
"Why are you like this...."
Wei Chang moved his face closer to Hei Gang before closing his eyes and turning towards his right, showing his cheek to Hei Gang.
Hei Gang immediately understood and slapped Wei Chang in turn before getting up hurriedly.
"Anyway...."
"Practice with me." Wei Chang said, almost like nothing had happend a few seconds earlier,
"Why.... I was having a good dream..." Hei Gang said, lowering his body and getting ready to lie down again,
"I just trained for a few hours... Just go and practice with someone else." Hei Gang said, brushing off Wei Chang's request,
"I need you to practice with me because....."
"You're the only one I trust!" Wei Chang said, some conviction in his voice,
"I don't wanna be...."
"Listen. I want to practice for a while in secret and then show off my cool fighting skills in the tournament and surprise everyone. Please just help me..." Wei Chang said, his voice slowly switching from commanding almost pleading at this point,
Hei Gang didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this moment. He slowly lifted his body upwards standing straight before saying:
"Fine. I'll help you" Hei Gang said, feeling exasperated,
