NO HOPE LOST
Before going to school, Ethan had practiced his boxing skills. Even though Hermes had given him the day off from training, Ethan wanted to be the best, so he trained alone. He believed that, at this point, If he got into a fistfight with anyone his age, he would destroy them. No caps.
After his solo training, he had bathed and then gone to eat breakfast with Hermes and Mr.Twist who from the look of things had slept over the previous night. They talked a little before it was finally time to head over to school.
Hermes had driven Ethan and himself to school. Ethan had asked him some questions about his next martial arts lesson, Judo. Hermes had answered all his questions truthfully. He had told Ethan why he had included Judo in his lessons, how grappling techniques would do him good in the future, and also how he had added his own techniques in Judo.
