章 9: 9 - The second Gym

Knock* Knock*

"Sora wake up" I heard the voice of Kazeo out of the door.

"ugh" I mumbled, 'Damn yesterday was actually not a dream huh?'

I just put my shorts and a shirt and came out to greet him.

Yawn*

"good morning bro"

"yeah, Good morning, now get ready where do we go"

"What time is it?" I asked

"Quarter to five"

"Woops we have to get going, Come on" I ran to the first floor and put my sneackers.

He watched me put my foot gear and said "Those are damaged, for how long have you had them?"

I wondered "hmm I don't actually remember, but maybe 2 or 3 years"

"Yes... we're going shopping on the weekend" he moved his head from side to side.

"Neat!"

We left the house and we walk at a accelerated pace, not jogging but not dilly dallying, we talk a little, he asked me, how did I got into boxing, and what about my ban on sports, damn I didn't even remember I banned the sports in my life, I have to check my memories one of this days so I can see what kind of person was my body before I became conscious.

Knock* Knock*

"Ippo Open up"

"Sora!, don't shout it's 5 in the morning"

"Ops sorry my bad"

I heard some noise inside the house and a clic, the door opened up.

"Good morning Sora"

Kazeo raised an eyebrow when Ippo greeted.

"Ahm Who is this?"

I grinned "This is my brother Kazeo, I told you yesterday, he's the captain of the Taekwondo team in the school"

"Oh yeah, you told me, hey Good morning" Ippo did a slighly bow

My brother extended his hand and shake it with Ippo. "So, what do you guys do here that you need my brother?"

I gave him a nudge with my elbow. "don't be like that, I specifically asked to come here, I know you don't believe me but check him, look at his muscle form"

Brother looked at him more thoughtfully. "Damn, this guy is ripped" he went around ippo. "His back has great muscle tissue, and his arms are nice, also his shoulders pack a lot of power, Hey do you lift?"

Ippo was a little embarrassed but he tried to hide it. "Ahm no, I just help my mom with the boat"

"Interesting, well time is gold, let's go, teach us" Kazeo said

"Us?" I looked at him

"Little bro, do you know how hard is to get natural shoulder muscles?, this guy has the secrets, it could help my team"

Ippo chuckled a little, but he teached us how to prepare the bait, Kazeo made a funny face when he was holding the worms, Ippo told us it's called "sand worms" and not "garden worms" still disgusting...

Then we packed the ice in the coolers, and we went to clean the boat, the swaying was calmer in the morning apparently, or maybe it's because it's spring, anyway we finished faster with the help of Kazeo, Ippo's mom invited all of us to have breakfast and it was still 5 and half, So I told Ippo to go and have some roadwork and showed him the Training program that Kazeo gave me last night, but brother interrupted me.

"Come with me, you can train with the team in the morning and we have showers, if you're going to be this early, I can give you a place and you don't need to be in matches or something, but ahm... it would be nice to have you training with me, what do you say?" Brother looked away with a slight blush.

'BING'

"Well that's great we actually didn't have a place to train in the morning I was thinking of going to the park, or the river bank, but for me there is no problem, What about you Ippo?" I turned my head to look at him.

"I-If there is no problem, sure, whatever you say Tsu... Sora"

I scowled at him "Hey we're a team Ippo, whats that about whatever I say, tell me what do you want too! don't let people decide for you"

In that moment the mother of Ippo came into the picture and with a smile said "That's a great friend son, now off you go you three, thanks for everything"

Kazeo stood up and took her hands, "The pleasure is ours ma'am, say can I bring some people sometimes?, we don't need pay, but the swaying of the boat could be a nice training"

I chuckled "hahaha oh no the muscle head is here!"

He looked at me with venom "Shut it, I won't let you have all this place for yourself, it's amazing what this normal stuff could help with our training"

I smiled "Sure, whatever you said!", I took my bag and walked to the door. "we have to go, come on"

We took our leave from the house, Ippo's mother waved until we turned the corner.

Kazeo turned to both of us and said "Hey you talked about some roadwork, let's begin, I'll take the lead, follow me"

With that we took off and ran to the school, this time the jogging was easier, because we aren't following a brute beast, still it was a great workout, Kazeo didn't followed the normal route to the school, he decided to run into some streets with slopes, when we reached the school it was almost 6 o'clock.

When we reach the gym we heard grunting sounds inside.

"welcome" said Kazeo, grinning while he opened the doors, almost everyone looked over and then they all stop and put themselves in front of us. They put their hands into their chins, and brought them down to the center of their bodies.

HAA* everyone shouted at the same time.

"At ease, let me present you to our new ahmm... well anyway, to my brother and his friend, they're going to train with the facilities here, they are aiming to be boxers, I will check their gym in the afternoon, meanwhile if they ask you something help them, also teach them how to use the equipment here, so they don't hurt themselves" Kazeo said with only one breath.

Some of them walk out to continue training with the vicecaptain, three of them walked to us.

"Hey welcome, my name is Kitamura" said a black haired guy.

"My name is Akai" a bald guy with a big smile said

"I'm Kitora, do you really are aiming to be boxers?, even this short guy?" a big guy with short hair said.

I walked in front of him. "We're begginers if you're talking about, we haven't trained yet, still we got the approve of the gym coach, and we are going to be sponsored, so don't be like that and just let us train"

He scowled and said "Naah! I don't think this runt has what its need to be a boxer, you need to quit so you don't get hurt"

I sighed... "Come here" I went to the punching bags, and asked Akai for some wraps, luckily they had some, but I didn't put them myself, I helped Ippo put them on.

I smiled when I finished and gave him some Karate gloves that were lying down. "Ippo, do the honors please, just like yesterday, step in, twist and punch"

Ippo was nervous, I could see the dripping sweat, but still we need to shut their mouths, they exist everywhere, people so full of themselves, I saw him prepare himself, also my brother was angry at the guy, but he kept quiet, I'm guessing he also wants to see whatever the coach saw in him.

Ippo put his guard up and did some jabs into the air, let me tell you the sound was amazing, this dude hasn't trained this and his punches already sound like a boxer, he stopped, he concentrated in the bag, and he released the Canon.

BAAAAM*

The bag flew to the ceiling and came crashing down, the sound of the metal chains was loud, I saw all of this but my curiosity took over, and I looked at their faces.

Kazeo was impresed, he had a grin and his eyes really open.

The idiot was with his mouth wide open.

The others were also impresed, some of them looked at their hands, and mouthed a weak "how?"

I started clapping and everyone lose their stupor to look at me. "Well I want to know if anyone doubts us?"

"Hahahaha" Kazeo started to laugh, "Hey kitora, you clean after we go today"

"HUH?, and Why?" he said angrily

"One, because the captain said so, Two, because you were doubting the captain words, and Three, because well nepotism, that is my bro and his friend and they have sanctuary here, also If I hear some bullying or retaliation I'll throw you out of the Team. DID I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?" Kazeo said with his hands crossed.

"Cl-clear ca-captain" Kitora said with fear.

Brother called for another guy and he started to teach us how to train.
