Chapter 2:Art

As I was sitting on my bed I reached to my right and opened my dresser then reached for my sketchbook and put it on my lap, As I looked at the book and squinted then said to myself.

" Now what type of pose should I come up with for Ryloken"I continue to think then get tired of thinking and look to my left grab my laptop put it on my lap on top of my sketchbook and scroll the internet for a pose, an hour into scrolling I find a 2-point perspective and sword stance as he's about to take the sword out pose someone holding blades.I take out my pencil and sketch the character in a rough outline and add small details, I then grab the comic-

"That time I got reincarnated as the ruling prince of the 9th world" I look at Ryloken and add his look to the pose in my style, I continue sketching for another 20 minutes to get every detail on his armor and weapon. Finish sketching, grab my G pen, dip it in black ink, clean the tip of any spare ink, and get to inking my drawing of Ryloken.

10 minutes into inking I finished the hair and detail within it and some of the face, I continued to ink the face to every inch of detail of the face. I finish the face then get to the armor and ink the top layers and middle simultaneously with cross-hatching, I keep inking and 65 minutes later I finish the body and go to the weapons and ink them. I take a small break and put my g pen down then stand and stretch my legs and arms, I then walk around my room and look around then think about boxing and if it's worth it.

I then sit in the living room and look at the picture of my grandfather then say to myself" Grandad why'd you do boxing?" I sigh, continue looking at the photo, slap my face softly, and go back upstairs to my room to ink the rest of the Ryo drawing. I open the door and then walk to my bed sit back down and ink the lower area of the armor slowly and cautiously, I try to keep my hand as steady as possible so I don't mess up. 

20 Minutes later I finished inking the lower area of the armor and then inked the word within 5 minutes, I sat back and sighed in relief after finishing Inking I stretched a little then heard a knock on my door and it was a normal-sounding, "Who is it and what do you want from me" A Female's voice responds and it's the voice of my mother" Dinner is almost ready and we are having chicken alfredo with pasta one of your favorites so come down in 5 minutes alright?"I respond by saying " Alright I'll be down in 5 and thanks I appreciate it" She says with a calm tone "You're welcome now I gotta get back to the kitchen".

She leaves to go back to the kitchen and I sit up and rotate my neck to the left then to the right then stand up and look at the clock, As I look at the clock, and see I have 3 minutes before I gotta go to the dining room. the 3 minutes go by and open the door to my room and head downstairs I make it downstairs smell the Alfredo sauce then make it to the last step and take a left walk into the dining room and sit in my chair.

"Thanks, Mom I appreciate it a lot" she responds by saying"No problem now eat your food kid" I immediately start eating and chew slowly then smile as I chew My mother smiles as well as she eats. I continue to eat and take a sip of my water as I chew then swallow and say," How Long did this take you to make Mom because It tastes really good."

She says-" Around 40 Minutes to make and I'll teach you soon how to make this delicious dish soon" I nod and smile then go back to eating my food, I finish my food wash my dishes, and head back upstairs to my room I make it in my room. I sit on my bed and go on my laptop to my school website to see where I can post my art and It says " You can put it on your social media then put #Hollans and Box" I get up and put my art under a light on my bed and then take a picture of it upload it on my computer to instaham and press submit.

2 hours in I was practicing my soccer skills by doing dribble drills I got a couple of notifications on my phone then I took it out my phone and saw the notification from the school's instaham that I had been entered into the competition. I grin and then close my phone and go back to dribbling the ball with more enthusiasm then strike it into the net with all my strength with almost perfect precision in the middle,I smile at that shot and go back in the house than in my room and lay down in my bed and scroll on twipter on my for you page.

I Keep scrolling then feel my eyes droop and then I take a nap and snore softly. I sleep for a couple of hours then hear a knock at my door I sit up slowly and rub my eyes to see who it is then see my mother " Hey Mom what do you need? " she says " Oh nothing really just came to check in on you" I then say " Thanks mom I'm alright and I got accepted into the art competition my school made".

My Mom then says" Oh my!? Congratulations Leo I'm so proud of you" Then she gives me a big hug and I hug her back and say" Thanks Mom I appreciate it but I have something to say and it's about the reward for the art competition." She raises and eyebrow "What is it better not be something dangerous you know I don't like it when you try dangerous things", I gulp and Realize I might not be able to do boxing knowing that It's dangerous. I then say " Well um the prize for the art competition is a boxing membership and free training."

She gasps Loudly and says in a frantic voice " What ain't no way I'll let you do that Leonardo?!" I sigh and say " Mom it's needed I really wanna learn this martial art it will make me happy", She says" Happy? to get punched in your face will make you happy you gotta be kidding me Leo I know you'll regret so that's why i'm not letting you go do boxing". my eyes widen a little I say " I won't regret it I'll try to stay in and not leave early I promise I won't just please let me do this" She sighs and looks at me with a serious face and says" Fine I'll let you do i but you gotta promise you won't quit early and stick to it and be dedicated to it don't half-ass it please don't."

I Nod and say " I won't I promise I'll stick to it through the very end and one day become champion and make Grandpa Johnson proud for what you are about to do" I nod and smile then say " Will do Mom I will do my best not to quit soon and make you grandpa and everyone in our family proud and rich in the future so count on me mom on making history for our family". My Mom smiles and nods then says "Good to know you have that mentality but also do it for yourself you matter over anyone you know or meet you are what you see when it's all over in the end so stay true to yourself and also make yourself proud in the end."

I nod seriously then stretch my arms and she says " Alright get some sleep you got classes college kid" I smile and nod then say" Alright will do Mom goodnight and sweet dreams" She nods turns off the lights then closes the door I immediately fall asleep then wake up then wake up 9 hours later and do my normal morning routine and then say bye to my mom and walk to school. As I'm walking to school I think to myself if I won the competition or not and keep walking,10 minutes into walking I hear noises and glare to my right side and see 3 school students two with denim jackets and a chubby boy who looks like he's getting bullied I squint then shout lightly" yo leave the boy alone ."

2 two guys turn their heads one light skin with slick back hair and the other light skin with a bun then the one with a bun says " Who the hell are you mind your business" I don't budge to his words and walk forward the one with the slick back hair guy pulls out a knife then the fat boy who was getting bullied shrieks in fear. I then say " Put the knife down there isn't any need for it" He scowls and then charges and I use my left arm and block the knife and go for Uki-Goshi judo slamming him hard on the ground with a thud, he groans in pain then his friend scowls and shivers at the same time then tries to take advantage and he throws two jabs and dodges effortlessly and throws two 2 crosses and an overhand right straight to his nose then immediately front kick his chest making fall back with a loud thud and his bouncing on the floor slightly.

I sigh and say " Done already y'all aint tuff now aren't ya you dumbasses" The guys crawl away and I walk slowly over to the boy who was bullied and crouch down and say "You okay boy at least I hope you are" He nods then I help him up slowly and dust him off he then says in a slightly shaky voice " Thank you very much I really really really Appreciate you helping me I would of been a goner if it wasn't for you" I nod and say" no problem glad your safe dude and not dead or anything" I then see his shirt and sees he goes to the same college as me and grin then say" I see you go to rucard phoenix college like me now let's walk to college without any problems.

He nods, and then we walk to college and take our time and introduce ourselves and where we came from then he asks "Hey how'd you get so good at fighting like you really did some movie-type fighting on those guys it was awesome" I smile then say " I was 9 when I started my training but only did beginner stuff but learned 3 marital arts judo, muay Thai, and a little boxing so that's why I don't worry that much when It comes to fighting people so yeah that's why I looked like a martial arts movie fighter" MIkey nod's then continue's walking with me to college we finally make it to our college then go our separate ways and I walk into math class and sit in the back, I then think of the morning I had today and how I fought will such keen instinct to save Mikey from really getting hurt by those bullies in that alleyway earlier this morning.

I then focus on my math class and take down notes like a normal student and try not to get bored,5 minutes later I feel a little drowsy and lay my head down from how boring this class has become.
