Chapter 14: I want to be the strongest martial artist.

The machine that we use to test our physiques is really accurate, it measures the fitness of every part of your body while only needing you to make some simple exercises like push ups, pull ups and a few others. When I finish the test everyone else has finish too.

~-~-~-~

We can see our scores in a big screen that appears from the ceiling. I have the lowest score of all the people gathered and through the scores of the others I can see that all of them have better scores in some physical aspects than others and the difference was high enough to make me seduce that each of them practiced martial arts that focused some psychical aspects over others. For example a student had a score in flexibility that doubled the one he had on strength.

~-~~-~-~-

This was present in all the people here except me, because I didn't practice martial arts before and trained all aspects equally, the difference in my physical aspects was insignificant.

However, to the others this wasn't true because all of them had practiced martial arts before and already specialized in some aspects.

~-~-~-

This was obvious to everyone that looked at it carefully and to the teacher the same applies.

The teacher stands up and walks toward me. Every student makes a path for him.

When he arrives in front of me he asks: "what kind of martial arts you want to be?"

To this I laugh lightly and then I say "I want to be the strongest martial artist in the solar system."

All my fellow students start to laugh and the old man looks surprised and he says:

"You got some big words there, do you think that's easily accomplished?"

I look straight in the eyes of my teacher and say: "If I put limits in my mind, how far can my actions lead me?". The teacher eyes suddenly shine and he says:"are you willing to put the effort, patience and blood it requires?" To this i respond:"As long as you teach me things, I won't stop learning them."

~~-~~-~~

When the students listened to the following conversation they were so shocked that their jaws hit the floor. While normal people might not now who the old man was, this sons of their respective power knew it. He was the strongest martial artist in the solar system 30 years ago and even Shrek academy paid a huge prize to make him come and teach and in all this time he hasn't selected even one personal disciple and even the slowest human could say that when he asked if he was willing to put what it takes, he was basically taking him as a disciple.

~~-~-~~-

I understand that too even do I didn't know who the old man was, since he could teach here, he should we one of the strongest martial artist. The old man looks at me smiling and ask: "are you willing to take me as your master?". I say straight away: "Disciple greets it master" and of course I greet him. The old man laughs and says "good, good, very good!"
