A Class

"Shouldn't you use makeup?" Miguel entered the dojo with Eli, who had a black eye.

"That's for wimps. How can you use makeup to cover an injury from a punch?" Hawk shook his head at Miguel's surreal suggestion.

By the time they entered, they saw Dash wearing a karategi from Sakura Bushido. Hawk, who was the most surprised, asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Now, can't I visit my friends?" Dash asked, looking seriously at Hawk, who immediately felt a bit awkward.

Miguel looked at his friend and smiled. "Are you planning to switch dojos?"

"Of course not. There's a surprise for that, so go change... Hawk, for God's sake, who was the woman who hit you?" Dash, who made this question jokingly because Devon left some marks on his body after training, didn't know that a woman had literally hit Hawk.

Eli shook his head and said, "I don't want to talk about it. It's all very humiliating."

"Can't be. Was it really a woman?" Dash was surprised and mocked his friend's eye mark.

Hawk, who felt increasingly angry, went to change without saying a word. But how can Dash let him go without knowing the whole story? Immediately after, he accompanied him and said, "If it was a woman, my girlfriend can teach her a lesson. Hitting women when you're a man is not humiliating at all."

"Thanks, man, but I have it under control." Hawk thanked his friend for the attention but refused, thinking that his complaint against Sam LaRusso had been settled the night before.

Dash then nodded and didn't insist. He looked around and asked, "Exactly, how many students are there?"

"No more than fifty..." Miguel didn't know exactly how many students there were in Cobra Kai.

Dash nodded. This was a good number considering the space, and it wasn't that large. "Well, let's start the class."

"Hey, do you know what he's doing here in our Dojo and dressed in Sakura Bushido's uniform?" Hawk approached Miguel and asked.

All Cobra Kai students noticed Dash, and seeing his uniform, they immediately knew he was from Sakura Bushido. But seeing that student near Lawrence, no one said anything and waited in silence.

Lawrence's look deterred anyone who wanted to express their thoughts. He was very strict, and everyone respected him as an honorable sensei.

A moment later, after everyone formed up, Kreese shouted, "Line up!"

"Yes!"

"I don't want to know exactly what your injuries mean. Everyone can have fights, but if it's a problem, you must tell me." Lawrence knew that fights were normal, so he didn't take Hawk's eye injury into account.

Saying this, he took a step forward and said, "Everyone will be wondering why someone from Sakura Bushido is here. Don't be surprised, but both dojos have reached an agreement to compete and exchange skills in a series of matches."

"Are we going to fight Sakura Bushido's Dojo?"

"That's incredible!"

"I never thought this would be possible!"

Miguel smiled looking at Dash. He had never fought him, so he was more than excited to have a friendly match with the one considered the strongest in the Valley.

"Now we know why he's here," Hawk said, very excited to have the opportunity to fight Dash.

Lawrence, who looked at his enthusiastic students, shouted, "Silence!"

"They might be excited, but if they don't concentrate, I'm sure many of you will get your butts kicked. Dash Hale, the star of Sakura Bushido, is a five-time champion, so very few have even been able to hurt him. Instead of thinking this is incredible, focus your thoughts to do your best."

"Yes, Sensei!"

Everyone was curious about Dash. Not seeing him in this year's tournament, they thought the chances of Miguel winning against him were doubtful.

"Let's start the class!" Johnny didn't want to delay the class any longer, so he began with a simple warm-up.

Out of respect, Dash stood to the side of Kreese, who occasionally asked him some questions about what he thought of Cobra Kai and the reason he didn't participate in this year's All Valley tournament.

Dash was very straightforward with his answers. For some reason, he believed that things would get out of control for this dojo with the presence of this sensei, who had a strong character.

He couldn't judge well what was good from bad, but as he had thought, things were becoming increasingly violent.

"Even though it's not my problem, should I interfere?" Dash thought to himself.
