"BAAM, BAAM, BAAM, BAAM, BAAM."
When Kojiro entered Kamogawa Boxing GYM with Takamura, his eyes widened when he saw many boxers training in the gym. Some of them were punching the heavy bags, some were shadow boxing, some were jumping rope, and some were punching boxing mitts.
Kojiro smiled widely when he saw all the boxers were training diligently in the gym; his heart started beating faster in excitement He turned to Takamura and said to him, "Alright, big guy, let's begin our spar."
Suddenly, a walking cane swung at Takamura's head.
"SMACK."
"OUCH."
"WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?"
"WHAT THE HELL, OLD GEEZER, HAVE YOU GROWN SENILE? WHY DID YOU HIT ME WITH YOUR CANE?" Takamura yelled loudly to an old man.
Kojiro turned his head and saw a bald old man hitting Takamura with his cane.
Kojiro walked to the old man and said to him, "Old man, what are you doing here? Are you lost? Do you want some directions?"
The old man was stunned when he heard this, and Takamura couldn't help himself; he burst out laughing, "HAHAHAHA, KID, YOU ARE SO FUNNY."
The old man got a tick mark when he heard what Kojiro just said, and then he started swinging his walking cane at Kojiro, and he started yelling at him, "YOU FOOL, THIS IS MY GYM. I OWN THIS PLACE."
The old man then calmed down; he looked at Takamura and pointed at Kojiro, then he said, "What kind of nonsense did you come up with this time, Takamura? Why did you bring this kid with you?"
Takamura smirked when he heard the old man's question, and he answered him, "Old man, this kid had a lot of potential; he was able to keep up with me in my roadwork, and let me tell you this: I wasn't holding back; he had the potential to be a boxer. Besides, I had made a deal with him; I need to spar with him now to earn a free dinner for a whole month. After I send him to the hospital, HAHAHAHAHA."
The old man raised his eyebrows in surprise for a moment, then he gave an unnoticeable smile. The old man looked at Kojiro and asked, "Kid, do you want to be a boxer?"
Kojiro looked in amusement at the old man, and he said to him, "Old man, I don't care about being a boxer. I only care about fighting strong people and having fun. If being a boxer allowed me to fight strong people, then I would gladly be a boxer."
The old man smirked when he heard Kojiro's answer and said to him, "I promise you this, kid: if you decide to become a boxer, you will face many strong boxers in the future. However, this will depend on your own efforts."
Kojiro smirked in amusement, then he looked at Takamura for a moment and thought to himself, "Well, the big guy is a boxer, and he could completely dodge my punches like it was nothing. There might be a lot of boxers like him."
A bloodthirsty aura surged out from Kojiro while he smirked like a lunatic.
The old man's eyes widened for a second when he saw Kojiro's smirk and felt his bloodthirsty aura. He then said to himself, "This kid might be as talented as Takamura."
Kojiro then said to the old man, "Alright, old man, I will join your gym and become a boxer, but... I will quit if I couldn't fight against strong boxers."
The old man scoffed when he heard this and said to Kojiro, "You will need to earn your place here, kid. To earn your place here, you will need to spar with one of my boxers that I am training personally."
Kojiro smirked in amusement when he heard this, and then he heard the old man calling one of the boxers, "Ippo, put on your gloves and head protector. You are going to spar with this kid."
"Yes, sir," Ippo nodded his head.
Kojiro blinked when he saw Ippo; he then looked at the old man and said, "Oi, old man, is this a joke? This guy doesn't look like he is a fighter; look at him."
Takamura burst into laughter when he heard this, and he put his arm around Kojiro's shoulder, and then he said to him, "Kid, don't judge a book based on its cover. The kid might not look like much, but his punches are much stronger than yours. Better that you don't underestimate him."
Kojiro's eyes lit up when he heard this; he gave a bloodthirsty smirk and said to himself, "This is interesting."
The old man then looked at Takamura and said to him, "Takamura, since you were the one who brought this kid here, you will be his second and go help him put on some gloves and a head protector, and also give him some proper clothes."
Takamura smirked; he was looking forward to this spar. He turned to Kojiro and said to him, "Follow me, kid."
Kojiro nodded, and he followed Takamura.
