CHAPTER 3 — THE CHALLENGE THAT WENT TOO FAR

The incident started on a Friday night.

The dojo was packed.

Students were finishing their training.

Victor had just defeated another black belt student.

The match lasted less than a minute.

The crowd applauded.

Victor smiled.

"Anyone else?"

Nobody answered.

Victor looked around.

The older instructor was correcting a beginner's stance.

Victor laughed.

"What about him?"

The room became quiet.

A few students looked uncomfortable.

Daniel turned.
