Apollo walked towards where he heard Taesoo currently was.
Where was that?
His own school, Apollo, had conveniently forgotten Taesoo Ma was still just a high schooler; at most he was supposed to graduate this year, however still just in high school.
Entering through the gates like a brazen man, he sprinted towards class 1A…the class where Diku said Taesoo studied in.
As he got closer and closer to the class, he could feel stares enveloping him. Multiple people were looking his way, assessing whether he was a threat or not.
'Taesoo has garnered this much loyalty this soon...How?' he thought as he continued his way towards the classroom.
He stopped right beside the door... It was at that moment he spoke, "If you want to fight...then fight; otherwise, keep your eyes down."
His voice was bold and clear. Some of the students took a step back; however, the rest of them started to walk in on Apollo.
"Let him enter," Taesoo Ma spoke while calmly resting against the window panel, his eyes locked onto Apollo, who smirked in return.
The class had gone silent as Apollo walked through and sat right in front of Taesoo.
Copying the resting posture of the king of Ansan, he spoke, "It's been long; how are you doing ?"
"I am good."
"Mhmm." Apollo shook his head, abruptly standing up. He spoke, "I have a plan, Taesoo, two plans to be exact, and I want you to be a part of it."
'The first plan is the bully system,' Apollo thought as he analyzed what the man was going to say next.
"I don't work with people who run away from fights." His stance was clear. That day, according to him , Apollo had run with his tail between his legs.
'Weak.' That was his assertion of Apollo, even though the man had changed.
However, there was one more reason as to why he provoked the black-eyed menace.
Taesoo Ma was a battle junky; he loved to fight. That is how he had taken everyone under Ansan under him. His right fist had dominated even the strongest in the area.
'After this, I will go to Daegu... I wonder how strong their new king is, the king of Ansan thought as he too stood up. He towered over Apollo by a few inches.
"I can fix that for you. Meet me down in the backyard... And bring your whole gang while you are at it."
With that, Apollo coolly walked out of the place.
......
"Sir, who was that?" The number three in Taesoo's gang spoke. His eyes stared at Apollo with rage.
"Just some guy I met a month before." Taesoo spoke while getting up.
"Majin, call everyone to the backyard...I have a fight to handle."
....
The evening sun was blanketing the school ground in a red cover. The trees buzzed with the calm wind flowing around them.
The school was nearly empty with only a few janitors left to clean the place around.
However, the craziest part was the school backyard. Almost half of the school had come around to witness the fight between this new challenger.
'Was there going to be a new king of Ansan today?' That was the thought on everyone's mind.
The crowd cheered as they took their place among the ground, making a temporary circle where the fight would take place.
Taesoo's gang stood menacingly in a line with the man in front of them.
Apollo stood against him. His reverse eyes glowed dimly. He spoke, "You know, Taesoo, we could have done this the easier way."
Taesoo shook his head, "Talk after the fight."
After all, the man hadn't ever lost... His fist had never been put down, and his confidence was at an all-time high.
Apollo tensed his muscles. He was the first to lunge in. His body twisted for a sidekick right to Taesoo's temple. Seeing Taesoo tank the kick, he couldn't wait for the man to attack.
One thing Apollo knew was that no matter how he fought, if his opponent's punch landed, he would be at a grave disadvantage.
He quickly fixed his posture.
'The essence of taekwondo lies in its fluidity.' Shifting to another stance, another roundhouse kick landed on Taesoo's jaw.
However, there was a reason he was tanking on the kicks, and that was to create an opportunity. One where he could land a punch.
His fist was already halfway before Apollo kicked the ground, distancing himself from the man.
The punch landed to create a big boom in the place. The crowd shook as they saw the ground had a meter-long circular dent on it.
"What power,"
"Oh my god, is he a superhero?"
"Is this really possible?"
Apollo shook his head; even though cold sweat covered his back, he chose to move forward... After all, what was a man who gave up on the face of adversity?
Ultra Instinct was an amazing tool; he stretched the body to its limits... However, that's all it did; it could only take it up to the limit... Not cross it.
And Apollo knew that.
Taesoo didn't give him a moment of respite. He charged at him like a feral dog. His hair stood on its ends as another death cannon headed his way.
'How is he so strong ?' he thought.
After all, even with the training he had done with Hansu, he was still not in the same realm as this man.
Seeing the punch incoming at such a rapid pace, Apollo chose to kick it upwards, hoping to change its trajectory.
However, suddenly his mind remembered a line his teacher had told him.
"The greatest fighter is one who understands his strength and chooses to focus on them."
A simple line, however, Apollo could tell how useful it was.
'What is my own strength?' he thought.
Copy
and
Ultra instinct.
'Copy isn't just limited to mimicking the action.' He thought...copying was more; it could be more than just being a copycat.
'If I understand the essence, then I can be better than a copy...I can be a master.'
looking at the fist approaching his chest. He brought his leg down and shifted into a karate stance... One he had seen done.
'Belief...that's what you have...right, Taesoo?'
Apollo smirked.
