An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

"Hah! You worthless punk! How dare you be so arrogant!" Jimmy sneered, looking contemptuous.

He continued, "You can't even lift a ten-thousand-pound cauldron. How dare you propose to lift a 50- thousand-pound cauldron? Stop bragging!"

"Jimmy, since he wants to lift the 50-thousand-pound cauldron, let him," Krel chimed in. "Move it in front of him. Let's see what he's capable of!"

He thought Dustin was just looking for excuses to scare off Jimmy with the 50-thousand-pound cauldron.

"Okay! Then I'll show my power again! Let this punk know he can't lift it!" Jimmy said enthusiastically.

As he spoke, he lifted the ten-thousand-pound cauldron back to the original place, then turned to the judge. "I want to challenge the 50-thousand-pound cauldron!"

"Contestant 844 has failed to lift it. Are you sure you want to challenge the 50-thousand-pound cauldron?" the judge asked.
