"HAH! HYAH!! HEE-YAH!!" Battle cries echo as the master and student indulge in a serious exchange of blows.
There's a constant string of punching and kicking between Tommy and M1ke. Eventually, Tommy is about to land a strike on M1ke's face but M1ke successfully times a counter that could send Tommy flying. However, Tommy uppercuts the counter, steps backwards and gets back into fighting position in no time.
"You've learned your ways around countering pretty quick. I'm impressed. Not to mention the flow of binding energy in your body has streamlined and allowed your hits to connect in a much better and way less rugged way. There's not a lot to teach you in the territory of physical combat. Stay creative and you can get through right about anything I'd say." M1ke commends Tommy's ever growing combat expertise.
A panting Tommy falls to the ground with sweat all over his face.
"That was a close one…" He says.
"But a good one." M1ke responds to the tired Tommy.
After stretching a little, M1ke looks back at Tommy and continues, "So… Ready to take things to the next level? And I mean it. The NEXT level."
This catches Tommy's attention with a smug smirk as he exclaims, "Ready for anything sensei."
Hearing that, M1ke waves to Tommy to follow him along as they walk into the city.
"So sensei… What are we here for?" Asked Tommy as he and M1ke walked through the various shops in the street.
"I figured it's better to demonstrate what we're going to intensely train for first. I recently got intel about some armed terrorist group hiding in the city and we are about to catch them." M1ke explains his plan in response with an insanely smug expression as if dealing with literal terrorists ain't a big deal which does strike to Tommy as concerning, which could be judged through the awkward expression on his face.
"What is he getting us into…?" Wondered Tommy.
While on their way, M1ke suddenly stops which startles Tommy. Facing into a specific direction smugly, M1ke raised his arm to the ticking sound of his wrist watch.
Standing there doing nothing for nearly a minute, M1ke finally decides to speak up and says, "Judging by the nearly inaudible yet specific frequency of the minute hand's spin in coordination to the second hand and the change in heat pattern here, I assert its 3:17 PM and in about 10 seconds, now nine… eight… seven… six… five… four… three… two…"
Before he could say 'one', an armed military tanker shows up smashing through the border walls of the capital and causing chaos among the citizens.
"We should do something about this!" Exclaimed a concerned Tommy with his fists having clenched and risen into a fighting stance.
M1ke, still smug about the situation, simply let his hand block Tommy from chasing the truck.
"Why're you stopping me!?" Said Tommy in rage.
With a snarky chuckle, the word "Relax" uttered out of M1ke's mouth as he walked a few steps into the direction of the truck, took a giant leap into the air and lunged forward several kilometers in no time.
Rolling through the air, M1ke landed in front of the Royal Capital Museum, still maintaining the confident smile on his face. Just then, the military tanker had finally made its way there, indicating M1ke had already assessed where it'd be heading to.
Raising his palms up into the air, visible bright white light started to circle mere inches above his palms as he lunged them forward and merged the encircling spheres of white light into a dense and bright sphere of blue light that resembled a mini Blue Sun.
Without leaving a second to spare, he pushed his palms a little backwards before ultimately lunging them forward, screaming "STELLAR FLASH" and unleashing a dense and bright blue beam into the direction of the military tanker.
The beam was so fast that the tanker couldn't avoid getting in contact with it and completely exploding into what could be described as quite literally 'nothing'.
The funny part of this whole ordeal was that nobody noticed when and how the terrorists that were inside the now destroyed military tanker, made it to hang by the branches of nearby trees through their underwear.
Just then came Tommy running into the scene and panting as soon as he stopped.
"Woah… What was that!?" Exclaimed Tommy with an amazed look on his face.
Patting Tommy on the head after laughing a little at seeing how the police struggled to take the terrorists off of the tree branches, M1ke responds to Tommy saying, "Liked that? It's a technique called 'Stellar Flash'. It lets you harness power similar to that of stars by emulating a process similar to nuclear fusion through means of binding energy since they're both made up of the same stuff. After that, you can launch the concentrated mini star in the palm of your hands like a beam similar to those high energy beams those jacked up guys from the Dragon Orb X manga use."
"THAT'S SO COOL! I WANNA DO THAT TOO!!" Exclaimed Tommy all fired up.
"Hah! That's going to be difficult. The only known users of this technique so far are just me and your dad since he was the one who invented it!" Continued M1ke who couldn't help but crack up at Tommy's enthusiasm.
"I'm ready for anything! Also, wait… Dad invented it…?" Asked Tommy in response to the information M1ke had just provided him with.
With his smile having turned gentle upon seeing Tommy's curiosity, M1ke sat down on a nearby bench and responded to Tommy's query by saying, "It was one fateful day that your father too as a kid was reading the VERY early runs of the Dragon Orb manga before its sequel Dragon Orb X was even out. He saw the martial artists in the series use energy beams in their fights and got inspired to emulate it through binding energy.
Since he was always a nerd, he figured he can replicate the looks using the power of the stars. The next challenge was to know how to harness it. It didn't take him long to figure out that stars perform nuclear fusion to stay as bright and energetic as they are. Nuclear fusion is merely just two atoms at the core of stars getting crushed into one because of the gravitational force and pressure induced at the center by the enormous mass that stars have.
The challenges wouldn't just end there. His binding energy affinity wasn't gravity related and it's pretty obvious how impossible it is to even have enough binding energy to fuse two literal atoms due to their strong repulsive nuclear forces, that is, the strongest forces in the universe to break through. Gravity by itself is the weakest of the fundamental forces in the universe. That explained why it took so much mass for fusion itself to happen.
He then started to study ways around the nuclear force regardless. For that, he began studying atoms and eventually started to study quantum mechanics and the structure of atoms and subatomic particles. From that, he studied directly how binding energy strings form subatomic particles and by virtue of that, atoms. He ended up writing an award winning thesis which quite literally no one could understand."
Hearing so many complicated terms, Tommy had collapsed onto the ground as he was unable to process so much information. With a sigh, M1ke lifted Tommy back to the forest they train at.
"Listen Tommy. I've already told you how near impossible it is to learn the Stellar Flash considering only me and your father know how to do it. But as a legacy of him, it is my responsibility to instill the technique into you regardless so promise you're gonna train hard no matter what!" Said M1ke in a rather assertive tone of voice which was unusual of him.
"Yes sir!" Yelled Tommy in his usual tone which caused M1ke to sigh again.
"Anyways. As I've always said, to use binding energy abilities, you must understand the very phenomenon you control very deeply, especially your affinities since they benefit you while an affinity far from you would put you at a loss. HOWEVER! The benefit from learning to perform the stellar flash is too great. There is no affinity for stars out there but the massive energy output of the move makes for you being a terrifying opponent to all lowlifes out there. You'll be fearsome among many yet respected among others as well. ARE YOU READY TO HARNESS THIS EPIC POWER TO SHAKE ALL BALANCE IN THE AWESOME BATTLE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL!?" Screamed M1ke immediately in a tone way different from how he began his speech.
All fired up from M1ke's intensity, Tommy, at the top of his lungs screamed, "YEAH I AM!!!", only to lose all of it when M1ke hands him books with the titles, 'Essentials for Quantum Mechanics', 'Nuclear Fusion for beginners', 'Advanced Papers in Theoretical Physics for Quantum Mechanics', 'Einert Albstein's papers on Special and General Relativity' and 'Years of progress in harnessing Nuclear Fusion through technology (with bonus Advanced papers from various scientists for Nuclear Fission and Fusion)'.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!?!" Screamed Tommy, unable to process how this correlates to learning the 'Epic Power' that M1ke had just mentioned.
Moving his finger around and shaking his head with a smug smile, M1ke continued, "Remember Tommy, fighting is not just a test of your fists but also your intelligence. Part of winning a battle is to outsmart your opponent. And behind every big and flashy move is a stroke of hard work be it physically… Or in this case… Mentally! Anyways, memorize this until the next week or so after your martial arts practice every day."
After that, M1ke had left Tommy to read and understand such complex topics in Physics by himself. Just 1 day in, the words and symbols went over Tommy's head and he started banging his head on a wall until Oli had come home and gasped in excitement to see Tommy be interested in something he is as well as he loudly exclaimed, "Woah! Big bro! I didn't know you liked Quantum Mechanics and Nuclear Fusion too!"
"Uh! Yeah! Totally! It is so awesome! But it's kinda hard… Mind helping me figure it out?" Said Tommy having finally found some convenience in this tough quest to grasp the unpredictable nature of Quantum Mechanics.
Without wasting a second, Oli had set his chair up in excitement to help Tommy learn about this topic. After hours upon hours with a frowning Tommy hearing what a very excited Oli had to say, it was finally time for some trivia.
"So big bro. Define the spin of an atom." Said Oli.
After scratching his head for a bit, Tommy replied, "Uhh… When you tie a string around an atom by rolling it around it and then pull it immediately, it begins spinning. And that's called the spin of an Atom I guess?"
Upon hearing what Tommy had to answer, Oli immediately facepalmed in frustration and the enthusiasm he once had was all gone. He now knew the despair he's about to go through to instill the fundamentals of Quantum Mechanics in Tommy's head.
"Didn't you listen to me when I was explaining it to you? Spin is the total angular momentum of the atomic nucleus!" Exclaimed Oli in a rather irritated tone to which Tommy replied with an "Oh!"
After facepalming again, Oli spent the entire night trying to explain Tommy the fundamentals and by morning, he had completely fallen asleep while Tommys eyes were wide open and his expression was completely serious.
"Spin is the total angular momentum of atomic nuclei… principal quantum number describes the state of an electron… subatomic particles are made up of various types of quarks… The more certain you are of a subatomic particle's momentum, the more uncertain you are of its position…" Mumbled Tommy in an inaudible voice to himself, clarifying that he now knows all he needs to.
Without wasting another second, he had finally reached the training area where M1ke was smugly waiting for his arrival and greeted him saying, "So… you ready?"
"Bring it on sensei!" Exclaimed Tommy with his surefire confidence while M1ke replies, "That's more like it!"
M1ke: So what is the spin of an atom?
Tommy: Spin is simply its total angular momentum!
M1ke: GOOD! What charge do electrons possess?
Tommy: Negative charge! That being sum of the charge from the quarks that it is composed of!
M1ke: You know your stuff! Alright, now tell me the Bersenheig uncertainty principle!
Tommy: The more you're certain about an atom's momentum, the less certain you are about its position and vice versa which makes it impossible to calculate the position and velocity of the atom at the same time. Anything else?
M1ke: I don't think I need to ask anything else. It's clear you did put the work in. And quite fast at that. Alright, we can now proceed to the next step.
Tommy's expression couldn't have gotten more smug than it already was upon hearing how M1ke had just commended him.
M1ke then presented Tommy with a strange looking sphere with lights inside of it and some tubes going in opposite directions from each other as he proceeded to speak, "This in case you're wondering is a device that your father developed to teach me this technique a long time ago. It has two spheres on the left and right corners inside this one giant sphere. Within the two spheres at the ends of this giant sphere is a much smaller sphere and a sphere even smaller than that. And at the middle again is another big sphere and all of these spheres inside are connected by differently shaped tubes."
"So what does this do Mr. M1ke?" Wondered Tommy with his hand on his cheek and his index finger sticking out.
After closing his eyes and nodding, M1ke proceeded to speak again saying, "Well. You do know that charges outside of mathematics just depict directions in the physical world right? Negative for counter clockwise and positive for clockwise? Anyways, all you have to do is fill the smallest spheres inside with a little binding energy and they'll glow white. Next you have to make them go counter clockwise to make them glow blue. If they go clockwise, they'll go red and indicate an error.
Next you fill the slightly bigger sphere with binding energy and it'll glow white too. Rotate it clockwise and it glows red. Rotate it counter-clockwise and it'll glow blue to portray and error instead! For now just do this. And remember, these spheres can only be formed like subatomic particles are! You need to make 3 smaller spheres that rotate in the required charge direction at just the right size so they fit! These lights can smartly detect the presence of binding energy so they'll do the rest of the work for you.
It won't be easy though! To move binding energy in a certain way, it is all dependent on your own affinity so you have to find your own way around it! Your father simply used electrical synchronicity onto the spheres a certain way to make the charges behave as he wanted. I swayed the little spheres of binding energy with my knowledge of waves which let me bypass the Bersenheig uncertainty principle and let me know momentum AND position of the binding energy spheres at the same time and harmonize their movement through longitudinal waves!
Now you might just have it easy because you quite literally have an affinity for a fundamental form of movement and that being force as it is! Let me know when you're done. In maybe a month or a year ahaha!"
After saying that, M1ke wandered off somewhere else while Tommy continued to struggle with the little toy that he had been assigned to work around with.
After hours of struggle, in utter frustration, Tommy threw the ball onto the ground only for it to ricochet back to his face and knock him down to the ground.
"JEEZ! HOW HEAVY EVEN IS THIS THING!?!" Screamed Tommy all alone in the training grounds.
While kicking the ball and mindstorming ways as to how he can possibly accomplish this seemingly impossible task, he began to notice the ball move around and rotate by itself and his eyes at the moment were wide open as if a realization had just hit him.
The next morning, M1ke showed up with his usual smug attitude and chuckled while asking, "Still having trouble with that little toy I gave you?"
Tommy simply shook his head to express a 'no' and began rotating the ball in his hand while also filling the spheres with the required amount of binding energy while also checking the direction they spin in. M1ke was startled to see how quickly Tommy had figured out to just rotate the sphere in his hands to make it easy to map the direction.
"Well done. I underestimated you. Let's see how fast you figure this next step out. Now that you've lit up one of the spheres, it is time you light the other one too." Said M1ke with a rather serious and sweaty expression this time.
As he left Tommy to figure it out by himself again, M1ke was quite visibly startled as he left with only one thought in his head and that being how Tommy might just become the first person to master this technique the fastest.
Quite a few days had already passed with no success whatsoever though. M1ke had started to believe the first day might've just been a fluke. He was about to call the day of training off until he saw Tommy's eyes wide open in a sudden realization once again.
Tommy spun the ball a few times mid air to let it spin on its own while also using his hands to rotate it. Admittedly even for M1ke, this was not a strategy he had ever used but to Tommy's success, both the spheres were finally lit up and a huge smile could be seen on Tommy's face after this huge accomplishment.
"I DID IT! I DID IT! I DID IT!!" Said Tommy with visible excitement from what he had just accomplished.
Walking over to pat him on the head, M1ke continued, "Very well. Now for the last step of the ball training. I'll give you a little head start so you don't have to figure it out on your own now that I've seen you're more than capable of coming up with something creative very fast and on your own."
Upon taking the ball, he immediately had the two spheres glowing in no time. He then started to juggle the ball and while doing the spin and rotation Tommy had already been doing to make those spheres inside move into the central sphere. At some point, they were perfectly rotating around each other for a good bit until they had finally collided into each other.
Upon the collision, M1ke threw the ball and it exploded in the air. Tommy was left startled by the sight. With another smug look, M1ke gave Tommy another ball while saying, "Now you do the same.", and left.
Tommy's eyes were still wide open in shock as to how he'd time it. Time and time again, the spheres inside would just get knocked back to the corners and the lights would go off.
Frustrated for the thousandth time, he put the ball aside and started panting heavily under a tree, late at night.
With absolutely no progress, he went back home with a complete lack of motivation to continue this new training. He had never had such a difficult time in anything he had tried before. But just when the thought of quitting had come to his mind, he got up from his bed and clenched his fists exclaiming, "No! I can't quit! That'd be like running away from a tough opponent! I've seen way too many opponents who I thought I'd lose against but I never ran from them! And I won't run from this stupid ball either! Ugh! Just wait, you annoying little ball! I'll find a way to defeat YOU!!!"
After this rather unconventional speech, he headed to the room where Oli was watching TV. The program was showing magnets and how opposite charges attract while same charges repel. Immediately, Tommy was hit with another sudden realization with a smirk on his face.
The next day, instead of beginning the hand-to-hand combat training as usual at the start, Tommy suggested M1ke to see him finally accomplish exploding the ball.
With a gentle smile, M1ke spoke, "Alright kid.Just this once, seeing your enthusiasm still at an all time high despite the odds of success, I'll comply! Show me what you've got!"
With a huge smile set on his face, Tommy grabbed one of the ball-like devices.
"If I manage to put some extra thought and manage to rotate the entire spheres with some extra binding energy in different directions, the entirety of the sphere would have a separately favored charge… One being positive and the other… negative… And when spun around, they'd eventually collide…" Thought Tommy in his head.
Tommy had actually managed to make the spheres revolve around each other consistently for a while but he had a seemingly frustrated expression on his face despite accomplishing that.
M1ke meanwhile had his eyes wide open with a smile as he walked over to pat Tommy on the back and congratulate him while also saying, "Great going Tommy."
Frustrated and not about to stop anytime soon, Tommy yelled, "No way sensei! They've not collided yet! I've got to get it done today!"
"Relax! This ball is made of a really strong polymer. It ain't that easy to break! You have to contract and expand the force while simultaneously increasing and decreasing the revolution speed of the inner spheres in order for them to escape the ball's inherent pressure and have it explode by virtue of tiring the consistency of the polymer's bonds out! Let me show you-" Said M1ke but stopped immediately at the last word before he could say anything after seeing how the ball in Tommy's hand was sparkling with electricity around it and also realizing that Tommy had heard nothing.
"Nobody will have to die in my watch once I break this ball... I'll not be weak anymore... Just a little more and all bad guys would be scared of me..." Thoughts rushed through Tommy's head as he put more and more force into the ball.
The leaves and grass on the ground were rippling around Tommy. Soon the air around him too formed force fields around Tommy while he tried to make the ball explode. It was clear that in such a state, Tommy was unable to hear M1ke but M1ke still decided to scream, "STOP!! TOMMY!! THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOU GOING THROUGH WITH THIS COULD BE DISASTROUS TO THE POINT EVEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT COULD HAPPEN!! YOU HAVE TO INCREASE AND DECREASE THE RHYTHM SIMULTANEOUSLY NOT BRUTE FORCE IT-"
Despite M1ke's attempts to stop the inevitable disaster, it had finally happened. A huge explosion took place in the forest which sent M1ke flying but he balanced himself onto the ground immediately upon hitting a far away tree and forming a force field of sound around himself.
While the explosive ways still continued, he rushed to Tommy to see what's up. Soon, the waves had subsided and the smoke began to clear. When the smoke had settled, Tommy could be seen on the ground and in a crater formed from the explosion he had just caused, all unconscious and seriously injured.
Not taking a second to spare, with an extremely worried and scared expression on his face, M1ke picked Tommy up and decided to rush to a hospital. It was a Sunday evening. Most hospitals nearby were unfortunately closed. He quickly took his emergency communicator headset out of his pocket to call Mari.
Mari, who saw the red emergency frequency on her own communicator quickly picked M1ke's call up, only to have an extremely terrified expression on her face as M1ke explained what had just happened. Upon hearing the description of the events, she wasted no time to rush to Tommy's aid.
With a serious look of anger upon reaching there, she hit M1ke on the head with Tommy in her arms while asking, "WHAT KIND OF TRAINING WERE YOU PUTTING HIM THROUGH? ARE YOU THIS RECKLESS ON A KID???"
M1ke knew it was all his fault that he hadn't made Tommy aware of the dangers of learning the Stellar Flash beforehand and frowned as he spoke up saying, "I know and I am genuinely sorry for that. I know it is all my fault and I should've been more careful. But you can scold me later. Right now we have to do something to save him!"
Mari's eyes were wide open from shock but she regained composure in no time after hearing what M1ke had to say and he was right about the last part. Nodding immediately, she said, "Well we have no time! I have all the required equipment at my house but we have to hurry! This is serious!"
M1ke, who also nodded, immediately grabbed hold of both her and the unconscious and severely injured Tommy and took a supersonic dash to Mari's place. The two then immediately got into her house, locked all doors and windows, put the curtains on and then finally put Tommy on her bed. Mari then began all required procedures to save Tommy's life.
M1ke had left the room and sat on the couch with a facepalm. His look was that of serious concern.
"I knew the consequences of one wrong step… But still I… Was I wrong to train the boy… But the old man… Was teaching the ways of fighting to the ones who need to be saved the actual way at all… Should the youth really have to be the hero for the troubles we before them caused… Ugh… Whatever it is… Tommy… Please forgive me… Please be safe…" Impulsive thoughts rushed through M1ke's head because of the situation he had got Tommy in.
After several hours, Mari had come out of the room with blood all over her apron and sweat all over her face as she sighed.
"All necessary treatment is done… He should be conscious by morning and okay by next week give or take… Or even earlier…" Mari added the last sentence after a little pause.
"Earlier…?" M1ke mumbled with shock.
"I've got to give it to the boy… He has a strong will to live… A strong body… for a kid at least… And a strong resolve to train… Maybe you're not a bad teacher after all…" Mari spoke up with a gentle smile slowly forming on her face as she continued to talk.
"Yes… I don't think you remember but when we first met and you saved me as a little girl… as well as my friends… That time… It looked really bad… I thought I'd never be free… But then you and big bro Isaac showed up… The way you two did your best despite also being kids… To save us… Us little girls who thought we have no worth left… It motivated me to also save lives in my own way… I guess the little boy got swayed by your charm too…" Mari chuckled as she said the last part.
M1ke was completely immobilized and gasped at what Mari had to say but immediately frowned again.
"I know… Even if he signed up for this… It was I who dragged him into a mess he couldn't have been more aware of… Part of being a teacher is to keep the student safe at all times… And I not only failed but also am the reason he is in this condition…" M1ke said with a frustrated sigh.
Mari patted M1ke on the back to comfort him and continued, "While yes… It is your fault, he is still safe… Next time, you do better, okay? You still got him here on time. I'm sure one day it'll pay off like it did with me and he'll be a great hero who'd save many lives. I'd be more mad if you gave up after all this and left the child all alone to get even more dangerous influences in training himself. Don't quit now! Show him the right path!"
Hearing what Mari had to say, his blind eyes lowered but a gentle smile formed on his face.
"I don't know if I'll ever be as great as my big bro or my old man as a teacher… But you just reminded me why we've never lost… It's because we never gave up… And I won't give up now either! I needed this… Thank you… I love you…" Said M1ke calmly with his composure having returned to his face.
Taking a second to wrap her arms gently around M1ke's face while also giving him a kiss on the cheek, Mari exclaimed, "That's the spirit! That's the M1ke I know and love as well!"
The two kept smiling at each other and eventually fell asleep on the couch together through the night in each other's arms.
It was morning already and both M1ke and Mari were sitting next to the unconscious Tommy. Just then, momentarily, Tommy's eyes began to open and there was a visibly big smile on Mari's and M1ke's faces. While M1ke stood up smiling, Mari hugged Tommy which kind of stung him a bit but he smiled it off with an "Ouch" sound.
"What happened? I remember being so lost in trying to get to the next step that the ball ended up exploding in my hands and after that it was all so vague…" said Tommy wondering whatever had happened since the explosion.
With a sigh, M1ke sat down next to Tommy and patted him on the head as he began to say, "Well. It is my fault I didn't make you aware of the consequences at hand and it is also my fault that as a teacher, I failed to save you from the explosion. That much is clear to me and I apologize. I know it's hypocritical of me to pretend to be some veteran hero but I too make mistakes and for that, again, I'm sorry. But with that out of the way, you shouldn't lose sight of not being too reckless either. Recklessness is simply the path to handing your enemy the victory. If you cannot think, the enemy will outsmart you. So promise me you'll be cautious and more careful as to what I'm telling you next time onwards alright?"
"I promise and I'm sorry too that I didn't listen to you. I'll keep this in mind. And don't worry! You still got me here on time didn't you? So I know I can count on my sensei! I'll be extra careful so as to not put you through another big trouble like this again!" Exclaimed Tommy with a nod to what M1ke had to say.
"Attaboy" said M1ke while continuing, "Either way, I've got a little surprise for you! Come Oli!"
Just then came Oli with a box in his hands saying, "There you go big bro! Mr. M1ke asked us to share this but said he wouldn't let me know what it was until you get up. So please open it fast! I wanna know what's inside already!!"
"Alright! Alright! I will" said Tommy with an awkward smile as he opened the box.
"Woah!" The two little boys exclaimed in excitement.
Seeing the two boys happy, M1ke got up to say, "This is the same set of the original Dragon Orb manga that me and your dad used to read and I've decided to give this to you two in hopes you train just as hard as we did! It's got the same chapters and fights which inspired our signature moves!"
Upon hearing what M1ke had to say, the two boys said "Hell yeah!" as they turned the pages to see the sheer epicness of the mangaka's artstyle and storytelling.
Taking his eyes off the manga for a little bit, Tommy stared back at M1ke to ask, "When are we going to train by the way?"
"In a week Tommy. You should be fine in less time but you should take a break judging by how I've seen you overexert yourself at night. Remember! No recklessness!" Said M1ke with a facepalm but also with a smile.
With an awkward smile, Tommy nodded and replied, "Yeah, sorry about that ehehe… So next week it is!"
Oli who overheard their conversation also added, "CAN I COME TOO? I WANNA SEE BIG BRO TRAIN!"
"Sure! You don't mind that right Tommy?" Said M1ke on seeing Oli's enthusiasm to see his big brother train, to which Tommy also replies, "Sure why not!"
Despite the unexpected atrocity they had just faced, the day had ended on a positive note with our heroes smiling. Stay tuned to see Tommy's training to learn the epic and flashy new move, the Stellar Flash, continue in the next chapter!
