The match was getting started as I was in a locker room getting changed. John had come over after hearing about what had happened to come and support me. I appreciated his support as he helped me get hyped and ready for the match. I walked out of the locker room as I was greeted by lots of cheers around the gym. I couldn't believe this had become a big deal as it wasn't quite a normal match.
Only basketball players challenged each other to basketball but this Aki guy was very different as he wanted to challenge me in hand-to-hand combat. Aki had also shown up as the crowd was booing him due to him being a stranger in my school. Everybody was cheering for me, we both bow to each other as I took a look at his outfit he had on a green belt with dragon symbols on it.
