บท 21: Chapter 21
Ichiro put on his gloves and looked questioningly at his father.
- Come here and hit this bag with your fist. - Kenshin commanded.
Ichiro walked up to the bag and hit it with his fist, not shaking it too much.
- No good. - Kenshin said, and he hit the bag himself, causing it to sway noticeably to the side. Then he walked up to his son and showed him a boxing stance.
- Here, stand in this position, and strike not only with your hand, but with your whole body. First, learn to put the strength of your core into the blow. Come on, try it. – Kenshin taught his son and stood behind him, directing his movements.
Ichiro tried several times, and he began to succeed, so Kenshin ordered him to practice this blow for half an hour, and he went to check on Aya.
As soon as Kenshin entered the bedroom, Aya asked: "Where is Ichiro?"
- He is training. In addition, now he is forbidden to enter our bedroom without an invitation. "Kenshin answered in a calm tone.
- What? But why? This is our son... Besides, he could just knock, in case we are not dressed... - Aya said in an offended tone. Like any mother, she loved her son immensely and pitied him greatly.
- This is not discussed. I take upon myself the upbringing of grown children, and first of all they need discipline. – Kenshin stated harshly, not wanting to change his mind.
He walked up to his pregnant wife, sat on the edge of the bed, and stroked her big belly.
- How is our second baby doing? Doesn't he want to come out yet? – Kenshin asked with a smile, leaning towards the girl and kissing her sweet cherry lips.
- Mmm, not yet, but I feel like it will be asked tomorrow. – Aya purred. Once she gave birth, she felt changes in her body, and could very accurately predict when the birth of a child would occur.
After some time, Kenshin "heard" Ichiro's voice in his mind, and after kissing his wife, he left the bedroom, heading to the gym.
-Have you finished? – Kenshin asked, and having received an affirmative answer, he said: "Hit the bag."
Ichiro hit the bag, and it swayed in much the same way as from Kenshin's blow, although the execution technique was lame on both legs. Kenshin was a little surprised, but didn't show it. He pulled out a helmet and some other boxing gloves and tossed them to Ichiro.
- Put it on and go to the tatami. – Ichiro obeyed, and a few minutes later, father and son stood opposite each other in gloves and helmets.
- Before completing the training, you need to consolidate all your knowledge with practical experience, so every evening you and I will have sparring. We don't hit at full strength. Hitting below the belt is prohibited, understand?
- Yes, father.
- Okay, let's get started!
The next few minutes were a one-goal game, Kenshin, from the height of his experience and long training, drove his son all over the tatami, delivering unexpected blows, and dodging the very expected and straightforward blows of Ichiro. Kenshin noted with surprise that Ichiro's strength, speed and endurance were slightly higher than Kenshin himself, and the young father could only win due to his great experience, and at the end of their sparring, Kenshin was a little more tired than Ichiro, and still missed one blow to the face . Recoiling, he stopped sparring and, breathing heavily, said:
- Not bad. Not bad. Your physical data is at the level of professional athletes. All you have to do is improve your skills, and I will no longer be your rival.
- Don't say that, father. I will never be able to defeat you. – Ichiro was indignant.
- You've already won. In terms of endurance, you have completely surpassed me, and now I am nothing more than a punching bag, then how can you still fight.
- But my endurance would not have helped me withstand even ten of your blows if you were aimed at winning!
Kenshin smiled but didn't say anything. He liked this guy. Ichiro grew up to be a respectful and obedient son, and Kenshin wanted to stroke the small beard that was not there, then put his hands behind his back, and walk lightly through the clouds, like a true wise master. Instead he laughed and said:
- Come on, help me carry the fish and hares. At the same time, we'll take a swim and wash away the fatigue.
Ichiro smiled and nodded, following his father.
****
The next morning, Ichiro began a six-hour training plan that included warming up, running, push-ups, squats, lifting weights, and practicing punching bags. Kenshin told his son to stretch out all the training over the whole day, but Ichiro surprisingly got tired more slowly and recovered faster. Kenshin noticed a slight correlation between his Level 2 Talented Offspring ability, which increased children's talent by 10%, and Ichiro's approximately ten percent superiority in speed, strength, and endurance. Kenshin decided not to make hasty conclusions and watch his next children.
By evening, Kenshin was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding his wife's hand, waiting any minute for the contractions that would herald the birth of his second child to begin. We didn't have to wait long, and already at seven in the evening, Aya gave birth to her second baby, who was named Keiji.
- God, honey, look at how beautiful children you give birth to me! "Kenshin said with a laugh, carefully handing over the baby.
- You are right! He's so cute! My little Keiji... - Aya muttered and pressed him to her chest.
The baby only blinked his eyes in surprise and did not cry at all, looking at his mother with interest. Aya couldn't help but kiss his forehead, and Keiji suddenly started crying.
- Shh, Keiji, don't cry, listen to your mom. – Kenshin whispered and lightly stroked his second son.
"Ichiro, come here!" - Kenshin mentally commanded.
Ichiro carefully made his way into the bedroom, feeling uncomfortable, but immediately froze when he saw a small bald lump in his mother's hands.
- Meet Ichiro, this is your younger brother - Keiji. – Kenshin stated and took the baby in his arms. - Here, hold it.
Ichiro was scared and refused to pick up such a fragile creature, for fear of harming his younger brother, but after a few seconds, he carefully took the package.
Keiji silently stared with his blue eyes at the same blue eyes of his older brother, and grunted something unintelligible, and then his lips spread into some semblance of a smile.
"Keiji..." Ichiro muttered and smiled broadly, glad to meet such a small and defenseless brother.
- Do not flatter yourself. He'll soon grow up to surpass you if you don't train harder! "Kenshin said with a laugh, taking the bundle with the baby and handing it to Aya.
- I will be glad if little Keiji becomes very strong, because then he will be able to protect you and mom! – Ichiro stated.
- Ha-ha-ha, this is the right attitude, but don't even think about passing the responsibility onto others! Train hard and be an example for all your future brothers! – Kenshin stated and patted his eldest son on the shoulder.
- Yes, father! – Ichiro declared decisively.
"Now let's go, let's give mom some rest." – Kenshin said, and father and son walked out the door, letting the girl who had just given birth get some sleep.
