Before the Tournament (1)

            Shin was never good at listening to others, even if the person he was listening to was his mother. The tournament will start in an hour, and his mother finally found time to talk about how he will be wasting his potential if he went to the trial this time around. 

            "I can't take it anymore," Shin shouted at his mother. "Mom, I appreciate you have managed to find some time in your busy schedule to watch me in the tournament, but I would appreciate it if you only do the watching part, rather than making my decision for me."

            "Shin, why don't you listen to me?" his mother said. "All am I doing is for your best."

            "I know," Shin said, gritting his teeth, turning around. 'But I don't want best.'

          Shin ran away after that, leaving his mother, who held her hand in high, calling him, with a thick frown on her brows.
