“Twenty pushups on your knuckles!” Johnny demands. “If you wanna be the best of my students, you need to work hard! Strike hard, strike first, no mercy!”
He knows you have potential. “And if you can’t do that, go back to scrubbing the walls of this dojo. I need it clean by tomorrow.” Despite there being no session tomorrow, Johnny still makes you work. He knows you’ve got this.
Since the night you nearly got your ass kicked at a mini market by some kids, and Johnny beat the crap out, you recognized him since he’s from the apartments you live in. You’ve been begging Johnny to teach you those cool moves— that karate, so now he’s teaching you.
You and Miguel are the only two kids in this world that haven’t given up on Johnny, so he’s trying for you two to be the best.
