The tests (2)

As Nathaniel quickly left the stage, Anderson approached the burly man.

"I'm ready, sir!" Anderson said. The man clearly liked Anderson's attitude since he showed great respect. "Let's start then!" the burly man said, and the young man started immediately attacking.

Anderson started with a series of punches that the burly man effortlessly avoided. However, Anderson's skills immediately surfaced. His punches were executed perfectly, almost too well for a sixteen-year-old.

His kicks were deadly, and all aimed at one or two openings the old men left to test the young one. However, the guy was a little bit surprised by Andersons. He could fight that well without resorting to his brain's crystal power.

"Hey, kid, why aren't you using your power?" the burly man asked.

Anderson replied, without stopping his attacks and always aiming at the openings the old men left for the student to see.

"I can't, sir..." he said while punching at the old man.

"Why so?" the burly man asked.
