"Bravo Ethan you getting  better at this "Ethan's coach Mr Hugi said from the back clapping and approaching Ethan who was doing some push ups then he folds his arms ..

Hugi is a gray hair sharpshooter.He's very cute and looks too fit for his age .He should be approaching his 60s by now but rather he looks his early 50s..He is a #blacklife ,smoothly muscled and his packs could be seen printing out of the t-shirt he is putting on.He wore a pair of grey tracksuit with black sneakers.

Ethan stoped and greeted the aged man "good evening sir"wiping the sweat trending down his neck "so sir when do we start training?

"Tomorrow son, from tomorrow imma make you the best the world has ever known .Ethan smiles at the sound of that "very much appreciated sir ,I'll go ahead now ".

Ethan gets home to find his mum 'Susan' and his aunt 'Steph' setting up the table for supper ."humm" he sniffed .The aroma from Su's cooking is always mind blowing .

"Hi baby how did it go with training today?"Su ask moving towards the dinning with a bowl of soup in her hands .She places it on the table before taking his face in her hands and a placing a kiss to his forehead.

"Twas ok mum ,Hi aunt ..Mr Hugi said I could start training tomorrow "

"Well that's good news son..you must have been doing so well at Practice to start training this early .."taking his hands into hers she exhales , I just know you gonna be great baby ,I practically watched you grow punching stuff yknow ,including the walls of my house "they burst into laughter "I know you are gonna be the best baby"almost at the edge of tears "my beautiful nephew has always been the best Su ..quit the drama already "

"I'm gonna make you the proudest mother in the whole world Mum , I promise you "

" I am and always will be proud of you my child ..your papa will would have been just as proud" mentioning her deceased husband ,she got a little emotional..

"I know mum " giving her the hug she so needs right now ..

"Let's get on with Supper it's cooling off already"Steph  reminded them opening the different dishes so they can begin eating..

Su cooks and bakes on command and her delivery boy is Ethan . Ethan wakes up to the sound of Su's voice calling out for him to hurry and come get the deliveries to her clients .He owns a bike he uses for that purpose .

"I gotchu covered mum don't panic " putting on his helmet and getting on his bike ."I'll get to all your clients in time " he drives off ..

"Iont know what I'll do without this kid "

"Ofcus my beautiful nephew is the best "

****

Ethan's trainings are always as from 7pm so he could do deliveries for his mum during the day.

"Ethan get changed ,we start now .Kay you start out front "Hugi ordered .

"Yes sir "Kay said in response

"Ethan?"

"Sir.."

"What brings out the beast in you?well you don't have to tell me ,i need you to close your eyes and imagine you nursing hatred for it.Let the punching bag be your real enemy ,take on it like you are out to kill it .Start!"

Ethan closes his eyes and when he opens them ,he starts following the advice Mr Hugi was giving ..he punched the bag and even went violent on it .When Hugi notices this he stops him .

"Ethan !"Hugi called putting to him to stop

"Never let the beast take control of you ,you must learn to take control of the beast .kay hold the bag "he demonstrates some moves they should learn.

"You boys never forget this!,always start your punch with your left fist .you gonna have to practice that .Take it from me ..your future actions are my responsibility so this is a secrete I always teach my team for the past 30years ."he presses on.." the rules are ,start with the right fist but Hugi's rule is ,start with the left fist and dodge the right fist of your opponent approaching your face , you'll definitely get him."

He explains further while panting in circles "you must try to confuse your opponent else you might lightly get blown on the face on your first shot .Go on" he asks them to practice what he just preached.

Ethan is such a fast learner ..just on his first try he's already good ..The amazed coach parts him on his shoulder .." I see a hero in you"Ethan smiles as he  packs up his stuff to get going "One important lesson you should know is ,you ain't out to kill no matter how powerful you become ,it's not all about winning but winning with dignity .thats what makes you a Hero "

Amazed with how much knowledge he's gained for just a day he smiles again "thank you sir"

"So I'll be about an hour late tomorrow but y'all better be here by 7pm "he ordered "don't be late" then he moves outside to take some air as the boys leave ..every after practice ,he stays there two hours more practicing before he closes up ..

On their way out"You new but your skills ain't new .you putting up a good work at your first try that's great,I'm impressed "

"Thank you Kay ..would have loved to stay and chat but I have to get going ..

Ethan...

Twas a long day ,thank God I have aunt Steph to always give me a back massage when ever I come home from training and mum to fill my stomach with her amazing cooking ..I notice Mum when she leaves her room approaching us ,she doesn't look so well . I woke up and ran to get hold of her before she drops on the floor "Mum" with a very worried grin on my face I called to her before lifting her to the couch .

"Son how was training today?" Trying to fake a smile ignoring how worried she's getting me right now.

"You need to see a doctor mum"

"No Ethan ..I'm just tired from all the work that's all"

Seriously mum? You trying to give me an  excuse? I'm not buying this .

"Then you should stop over working yourself Mum"

"I can't Son , I have to make sure your boxing tuition fee is paid"is she fvking kidding me right now?

Holding the hand she'd placed on my cheek firm "I can quite Mum ,iont like to see you like this because of me....I'll do all your work and pay it myself in future".  "No!!" She cuts in before I even finished what I was saying..she forced herself to sit up right .. " Listen to me "taking my hands in her sweaty and warm hands " you won't stop.ill do all I can to make sure you get through with this"

She looks so serious so I guess no need arguing ."but iont want you sick mum " I still tried to argue .

" I'm not sick baby ...just tired" we three get on with a group hug " I promise you both I'll make life better for you even before you know it .Just be strong for me Mum.
