[color=#DE3163]“I need some beer money.”[/color] The words were spoken clearly and did not have an ounce of forceful alacrity. This caused the glare of Toru Hachibana to sharpen as what he was willing to write off as a boy drunk on machismo and bravado had now escalated into a far more egregious crime against the school of the Harmonious Fist. The blatant disrespect that was shown to the chapel of the Harmonious Fist, a place whose doors were open to all, that sought to better the lives of the youth of Fuzenkagure, this haven was being invaded over [color=#DE3163]“beer money”[/color].

[color=6ecff6]“You will need to take those shoes off on this stage as it belongs to the Harmonious Fist and I will not duel with a challenger who doesn’t respect the hallowed halls of the Harmonious Fist.”[/color] Toru had a stern and grave tone which was in stark contrast to the “challenger” who simply scratched his head before he began, [color=#DE3163]“So what you’re sayin is that if I come over there and just straight rock your face with this here hammer”[/color], the white haired young man cocked his fist with his hand almost like a gun, [color=#DE3163]“you won’t fight me because I’m wearing shoes?”[/color]. There was genuine bewilderment at the concept of unrequited violence if he doled it out on the old man over something as trivial as shoes.

[color=6ecff6]“You either respect the rules of this dojo or I won’t accept your challenge, and if there is no challenge then there is no prize. You’d be assaulting a senior citizen in front of a room of witnesses which would be a crime. I don’t believe they serve beer in jail.”[/color] The cogent points Toru had raised impressed the salience of the situation on the would be challenger. 

[color=#DE3163]“That’s not really what I was expectin' you old joyless fuck.”[/color] He grumbled and mumbled as the wind had been taken out of his sails. The challenger just wanted some quick cash as his usual means of making a quick buck involved going to a woman he didn’t much care for, she was quite stodgy but at least she wasn’t old and would give him a fight whenever wherever, she also had a stockpile of alcohol.

[color=#DE3163]“Well bosu you really know how to be one big ass flaming energy vampire. I mean a guy shows up for a dojo rush and you start talking about shoes, crimes, and cops that’s some real petty shit.”[/color] With that said he turned around and started to head for the exit leaving everyone in the dojo perplexed, but the most confused of all was Toru.

[color=6ecff6]“Just who in the world are you….”[/color]

The young man spun around on his heel and drove his thumb into his chest as he began aloud,[color=#DE3163]“I’m K.O. Kazama and I’ve decided not to kick your ass for beer money on account of you being a boring old fuck.”[/color] The collective jaws of the students and their sensei dropped to the ground as the raucous stranger simply left.
