"A long time ago?"

Samuel nodded.

"Yes."

Adrian walked closer.

"You should show us."

Samuel looked around.

Everyone was watching.

Not with respect.

With curiosity.

CHAPTER 3 — THE ONE PUNCH CHALLENGE

Adrian had an idea.

A bad one.

"Let's make it simple."

The room quieted.

Samuel looked at him.

"What?"

Adrian removed his boxing gloves.

"I'll give you one free shot."

The students laughed.

"One punch."

Adrian pointed toward himself.

"Right here."

He tapped his chest.

"If you can make me move, I'll admit you're tougher than you look."

More laughter.

Samuel stared at him.

"Are you sure?"

Adrian smiled.

"Absolutely."

Samuel looked at him calmly.

"You promise not to complain?"

The room exploded.

Adrian laughed.

"Trust me. I won't."

The instructor watching from the corner felt something strange.

Because Samuel wasn't nervous.

He wasn't angry.

He wasn't embarrassed.

He was disappointed.

Like he already knew what was about to happen.

Samuel stepped into the ring.

The students pulled out their phones.

Everyone wanted to record Adrian humiliating the janitor.
