Chapter 4 new school new grounds

POV Muhammad Ali Jr.

Jr. woke up at 6 in the morning he's been bothered by what his father boxing coach said to him yesterday "if you continue this boxing style you'll be dubbed Cassius Clay the second do you really want to be just a shadow of your father? use your talent Jr. make it your very own style that no one will be able to say that you're just a copycat of Muhammad Ali" to which Jr is now very troubled on thinking how to improve the style of boxing his father created so he decided to just set it aside and think about it tomorrow putting on his grey jogging pants and grey jacket with a hood he set out from their family house to run around the lake.

It's now 7 in the morning and he just finished doing his morning run around the lake still preoccupied by the words of his father's boxing coach when he bumped with a kid running at full speed against him of course Jr tried to step out of the way but the kid running so fast they collided with an oofff and a thump the kid fell on his butt but Jr wasn't lucky he got hit in the midsection now currently holding his midriff the pain was manageable but it felt like getting uppercut in the guts by a middle weight sparing partner after collecting his awareness back he now took a good look at the kid standing at 155 cm ,pale skinned, silver hair and the most distinguishing trait is the black eyes not the black eyes you get after getting punch in the face no his eyeballs are black with a white Iris surprised and taken aback he checked the kid while asking "you alright kid?"

POV Returns back to Kai

Kai can't believe it the coincidence of meeting the young Ali Jr right after coming to Pennsylvania is too unreal what are the odds that he literally run over the one and only Giga simp in the Netflix series of Baki anyway after dusting his butt free of dirt he did a once over Jr and he's tall maybe 180 cm lean muscled body with long legs and long arms dressed in a grey jogging pants and grey hoodie he catches Jr staring at his eyes before coming over saying "you alright kid?"

"yeah I'm alright sorry bout bumping against you I'm Kai what's your name?" says Kai introducing himself reach out a hand to shake.

"Name's Muhammad Ali Jr. but you can call me Jr." responds Jr shaking the hand offered to him he noticed the firm and tight grip of the kid now that he come up close he could see the lean muscled tone of the kids arm and body.

"Name's Charlie Kai Lindbergh De Rohan sorry it's kinda rude of me not saying my full name but as I've said earlier you can call me Kai, what are you doing anyway in this empty stretch of a road in the middle of nowhere? and are you somehow related to the boxing legend Cassius Clay?" asks Kai.

Jr. chuckles and said "yeah that's my father old name he's named Muhammad Ali after he converted to Islam people always ask me that anyway as for what I'm doing in this place I'm just returning from my morning run could've ask the same to you tho what are you doing in this place?".

Kai now sure that this is the Ali Jr. in the Baki series respond with " oh right I lived in the rest house near here actually if you enter this off-road path it will lead there eventually"

"Hmm why have I never seen you around?" inquired Jr.

"Just arrived here last night you live around here?" answered Kai then asking.

"Yeah just near the Fighters Heaven boxing gym you should come over sometime I'll show around" offered Jr.

"Just might take you up for that offer anyway you box? like your father? just asking" Kai responded and inquired.

"Yeah I've been training at the Gym but I'm still not fighting professionally" said Jr.

Kai proceeded with small talk with Ali Jr mostly it's a back and forth question and answer thing he learned that Jr. is just 10 yrs old and now in his 2nd year at Deer lake junior High , Jr. was also surprised about Kai's age being 5 and this mature he thought he was talking to a matured 8 year old and since Kai was tall for a kid he assumed so Jr also ask if he's staying here which Kai confirmed then Jr ask if he's gonna study here which Kai again confirmed Jr also told Kai to tell him if there's anyone bothering him after enrolling which Kai just nodded not really planning on telling him since he'll crush any would be bullies he would encounter before separating Jr. invited Kai to Fighters Heaven Gym which Kai says he'll come.

Kai watches Jr. as he jogs away " after 12 years he'll be a monster of a boxer although still not enough for the top fighters"Kai muttered as he jogs back to his Family's rest house.

Kai returning to the House was greeted by his Butler Kramer telling him "young master I've already enrolled you to a local public school as per the wishes of Lady De Rohan" Kai responded with "thanks Kramer" then Kai quickly go up his room and showered with hot water after showering and clothing himself Kai took a quick nap for 2 hours then waking up and goes outside looking for a suitable place to train where he saw a clearing and a sole Fir tree at the center the Fir tree is gigantic and thick Kai couldn't even hug it due to how huge it was {AN: understandably since MC is still a 5 year old } Kai immediately thought that he finally found his punching bag / training dummy he tried punching it in the center with all his might and the tree only vibrate for a little then settling down smiling Kai look at his knuckles only to find it bruised, Kai is ecstatic at finding such a natural punching bag he immediately recalls a memory in the [Thai God of War style] [Omega version] of a way to harden his fist, elbows knees,legs and his forehead testing out the training plan he stayed for all noon and afternoon hitting the tree with his striking technique.

Kai returning battered and bruised in the five extremities flustered Kramer,the maids, and the security detail guarding the house that they immediately surrounded Kai and tried to bandage Kai and telling to Kai to not mention this to his parents Kai annoyed and hungry cause he just came home from training complied with the bandaging and while dismissing the questions on where he got his injuries Kai being hungry as a bear ordered for food at the maids while Kramer is sighing by his side,after eating ravenously Kai did a quick flexibility exercise before falling asleep.

Kai being waked up suddenly by Kramer lazily get up and ask why he's being wake up early in which Kramer replied "Young master you need to go to school I've been told to remind you by Lady De Rohan in case you forgot"

"Alright alright I'll go could you whip me up some bacon and eggs with toast before I go down" says Kai while wiping up some drool and eye crusts in his face.

"Of course young master I'll be waiting in the dining room for you" Kramer responds before going out of the room.

Kai proceeded to shower and after showering he wears his skinny jeans from the brand Levi's which accentuated his muscled legs and a Red shirt from from Calvin Klein brand he also wore a Nike shoes for his feet Kai proceeded to go down and head to the dining room in which Kramer was waiting for him, sitting down and eating quickly Kramer handed him a Bag from Louis Vuitton saying it's a gift from his parents thanking Kramer Kai finished his breakfast wipe his mouth with a paper towel proceeded to go out of the house in which there is a black sedan waiting for him Kramer handed him his enrollment files and told Kai to hand it at the principal Kai nodded and took the files entered the car and traveled to Deer Lake elementary after arriving he bid goodbye to his schafeur he entered the school and immediately headed for the principal's room he met a wrinkly aged woman seated behind the desk.

"Come in Mr. De Rohan have a seat I've been expecting you" says the principal.

Kai saw the Plaque written Principal Tanya Faulkner "yes ma'am" before seating at one of the chairs.

Principal Faulkner stared at Kai before saying "you really are unique Mr. De Rohan not just your silver hair but also your black eyes anyway you'll be starting now at 1st grade I'll guide you there in a second " she looks like expecting something.

Kai awkwardly stares back before remembering the files he hurriedly gave them to Principal Faulkner which he now sheepishly said "sorry ma'am".

"It's alright Mr. De Rohan" said Principal Faulkner as she scanned the documents.

Standing up Principal Faulkner takes the files to the drawer and then proceeded to go to the door saying "shall we go Mr. De Rohan"

Kai followed Principal Faulkner to a room labeled 1-A before opening it and announcing that they'll have a new classmate and to treat him nicely before beckoning at Kai to enter then she told the teacher that Kai will be in her hands.

What follows is the usual bits and bob of a new student like introducing himself and what's his likes and dislikes ultimately ending on what's his dream of course he lied about his dream about following his parents footsteps when his real goal is to be the strongest in this world after that he seated in the back since that's the only available sitting left after the female teacher left Kai was swarmed with curious 1st graders with the common question is what's with your eyes Kai was able to endure this by answering the common questions and ignoring the rest soon enough the rumor of new student with the black eyes spread throughout the school even reaching the Middle school and High school section of Deer lake school which is across the street of the elementary department Ali Jr. heard about this and chuckled about his new acquaintance's popularity of course it wasn't all smooth cruising for Kai since his first challenge came at break time at the cafeteria while Kai was eating a ham and cheese sandwich he was suddenly shot in the heat by a small and sticky tapioca pearl in the head Kai turned at the laughing noises and he saw a posse of 6th graders who's a head taller than Kai one of them saw Kai turned to them the one with a straw in his hand and a milkshakes with pearls in his hand said "what are you gonna do about it FREAK" with all the smugness of an elementary Bully Kai sighs and grinned he'll make this guy's crawling and bawling with snot and tears after he's done with them.
