Chapter 2019

"Crash!"

When Abner hit the ground, his mouth filled with blood. The people training him stood by, cold and merciless. "This little bit of effort won't cut it. Your future opponents will be far tougher."

He spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly rose from the ground. Abner was tougher than most, but right now, his entire body was screaming in pain. His arm was twisted at an unnatural angle, a testament to the unimaginable pain he had endured.

"Cough, cough, cough."

He was bruised all over, except for his face, which was miraculously untouched. That was the deal he made with these men-no hits to the face, so Shirley wouldn't notice anything was amiss. "Don't just stand there, hit me."

Every punch Abner threw was blocked and returned with interest. His opponent's eyes flickered with a hint of satisfaction. When they first sought out Abner, they thought he would be a disappointment.

But Abner was growing on them, showing an uncanny talent in nearly everything, even getting them excited about his potential. With the right grooming, this kid might just win the old man's approval.
