I just keep moving forward

Chapter 18: A New Foe

Eren POV:

The current date is August 30th and I'm training my ass off for this next fight

I start school in a week but that's the least of my worries

Right now I'm doing push ups in the gym

38.39.40.41.42.43.44.45

A new record

I move onto situps

193.194.195.196.197.198.199.200

Another new record

I go onto the power punch machine to test my power

Right jab: 436
Left jab: 688
Right hook: 863
Left hook: 901
Right uppercut: 871
Left uppercut: 999

I sprint 100m

13.7 seconds, a new record

Bench press, I manage to get my 1 rep max to 45kg (99lbs)

Squats

343.344.345.346.347.348.349.350

I'm setting records today

After 2 hours of training I step onto the scales:

8st 0lbs (112lbs) (50.9kg)

I take my shoes off and measure myself

5'1.5 (156cm)

I check my body fat percentage

10%

I'm right where I need to be right now, I'm looking leaner than I was before but still packing the muscle

I have a 6 pack and the muscles on my arms have become defined

This is pretty good for a 12 year old apparently

Timeskip:

September 3rd 2010

My first fight of the school year vs Carlyle Fedorov, (3KOs) 9-4-0

There's only a small audience for today and none of the dramatics from my title fight

I walk up and climb into the ring

My headguard gets put on and my gumshield slides into my mouth

I'm skipping up and down keeping myself warm and moving my neck in a circular motion to loosen the muscles

There aren't any big theatrics for this, just me, him, the ref and the judges

And our coaches

There may be like, 30 people in attendance

Which for an amateur bout that isn't a title bout and isn't on a card, is pretty good

My opponent walks into the ring

He's my age and my height and we're pretty much the same weight, I just have more experience and a better record, whereas he doesn't have as much ring rust

The ref gives us the usual speech and the bell goes

DING. DING. DING.

He comes rushing towards me and I'm caught in a storm of punches

I dodge the first 5, get hit twice and take three steps back

I'm pretty shocked as he comes sprinting towards me, I dodge another 4 attacks and respond with a quick jab

This stops him coming forward so much

He stands in front of me as I fake a jab and instead hit him with a hook
