********************************************************************
Edgar Fox was born on August 17, 1992, in Olympic Village (Moscow). Sadly his mother passed away after giving birth to him and left his father empty and helpless and at the same time, he felt even more responsible for his son. Even though his father was in depression he still gave most of his time and love to Edgar. During Egars growth his father had to face many challenges. One of them was finances, however, he kept working despite his weak lunges. It wasn't the best idea to work as a miner but he couldn't quit and then hoped to find a new and better job quick enough. After Edgar turned 5 his dad asked him a relatively simple but at the same time thoughtful question, which was: who does he want to be in the future? An ordinary kid will just shout something like: "I want to be like dad" or "I want to be a pilot" or just say "I don't know" yet Edgar was different compared to other children, he was mature and answered after a few seconds.
Edgar: "I want to be a fighter, I want to compete with others to see who is stronger and to make our family famous… Amm... and-d I want to make you happy."
His father was surprised after hearing what his son wanted to be and even more surprised after hearing what he mumbled at the end. He didn't expect to see such a cute and shy face from his son. It reminded him of his wife. With a warm smile, he replied
Father: "I'm glad to hear who you want to be and I won't stop you but, you have to promise me not to fight anybody without a good reason."
Edgar: "Shure daddy! I promise not to fight anybody without a reason!"
exclaimed Edgar with stars in his eyes. The only thought which left Edgar's father was "How can you say no to this kid".
Father: "When you turn 10 I'll go and have a chat with one of my close friends but from now on you will have to start doing light training. Do you understand?"
Edgar: "Yes"
Father: "Ok start with basics and do them twice a day morning and evening try to do 5 or 10 push-ups, squats, and abs(crunches) as well as some stretches and when you get older let's say around 8 try to do 1 classic pull-up and a few monkey pull-ups."
********************************************************************
Author: "remember he is only five and not from the anime world. When I was a kid (around 10 years) I couldn't even do a classic pull-up and you should have seen my face when an 8-year old did 2 classic pull-ups under 10 seconds. "
********************************************************************
With a happy face Edgar run off somewhere and his father started to cook dinner
4 years have passed since they had their little chat and Edgar grew up and now his height was 142 cm which was way taller than his peers because usually, you would expect a 9-year-old to be 133 cm but that wasn't the only difference. Not only was he taller but he was more muscular than others because during this year his training got changed by adding more exercise or doing more approaches to exercise. when he got 6 he was allowed to do 15 or more push-ups, squats, and abs(crunches) but he was sent to a school which didn't really affect his training that much. When he was 7 his father allowed him to do 15 to 20 push-ups, squats, and abs(crunches) and added running which was only 4 circles around the playground which was 50 meters squared meaning he only did 200 meters per day at the start. But after he said it was too easy, which added a few tick marks on his dad's forehead, he changed it from 4 circles to 20 circles, making him run a kilometre every day. When he turned 8 his father allowed him to do pull-ups but made him promise not to overwork and remind him of school. On his ninth birthday, he got a chance to meet the person who his dad talked about.
They set off on their little trip at 2 o'clock. The streets were quite lively. Kids were running around or playing tag, parents were chatting with each other. It was cosy weather outside, The sun was high in the sky, barely any clouds. On the way there Edgar kept nagging his father about where they were going and when would they arrive there. His father was getting fed up with his son's questions so he tried to imitate the behaviour of his son to show that he should calm down a little bit. But apparently, Edgar did not understand his father's hint and kept going on and on.
Father: "Ohh Edgar, ohh sun, when, when, where and who is he"
Edgar: "See. You do understand what I feel like, don't you old man?"
Few tick marks appear on his fathers head.
Father: "I'm NOT OLD YOU LITTLE…! have some respect towards your father, I'm only 48. "
Edgar: " YOU HAVE TO ADMIT THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE 48 ARE OLD SO DILL WITH IT OLD GEEZER!"
For a few seconds, there was an awkward silence. From the side, it might even seem that the temperature started to rise and for some, it started to get colder. And when the tension between them grew so much that it was about to explode. They both …..
Edgar and Father: "hahaha"
…. started to laugh?
Father: "huh this never gets old"
replied Engars father with a small smirk and continued walking forward towards the sports hall.
Edgar: "Haha I agree"
still giggling answers back Engar
Edgar: "Dad do you think I'll be a good boxer"
Father: "No chance"
Before Edgar could question his dad's response his father continued.
Father: "I don't want to hear from you about becoming a good boxer… I want you to be the best one out there. my dad once said this: "Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make will make you. So choose wisely." and whatever and I mean WHATEVER you chose now I will be there to support you but if you decide to back down because of fear of defeat or start saying it's too hard for me to keep going or it's impossible you will fail and it doesn't matter how much I give you my support if you don't have a wheel to keep going. Listen to me Even if you are tired, even if you fail millions of times it doesn't matter to me, you will just have to try again and if you fail again just try to fail better next time. Learn from your mistakes, improve on them and only then you will reach the top. Backing down isn't an option in boxing and if you will you won't get a second chance because you will have competitors who will be waiting for you to let your guard down or to lose your hope and if you will then they will overtake you and leave you behind. So promise me to never give up and never let go of your dream of becoming the best boxer!!"
Edgar: "I promise!!!!"
He shouts back with some tears in his eyes
Father: "Great. Now let's keep going and I'll make you the best diner I can for being such a good son."
Edgar: " You do realise that you can't even cook? "
Father: " Ohh so you are telling me that you can do it better. Ok then from now on you'll be cooking our diner!"
Edgar: " NO NO NO, don't listen to silly me I'm just excited. Yeh, I'm too excited about the person who'll teach me from now on so I can't think straight."
Edgar quickly answered his father. and with fast steps, they kept going down the street. The whole journey took them about 15 minutes, including their stops for chats or to buy something and their constant debate about Edgars father's cooking skills and when they went through a dirty alley his father answered his son's question.
Father: "Firstly let's stop talking about my skills because I feel like I'm being humiliated and secondly we are here."
In Front of them, you can see an old, low-rise, detached and brick-build building which was probably dank because of many holes and broken windows. Edgar's face turned from excitement to confusion and then to an understanding with aversion. He already understood everything but still decided to ask his dad for confirmation, but before he managed to say a word he was interrupted by someone's shadow that hung over them.
Edgar quickly looked up and saw a man lying on the roof and lazily drinking alcohol.
Edgar: "Who …."
Stranger: " Nice to meet you Edgar my name… my name... you want to know it, then listen carefully. It's Master Raihan Mcguinness and from now on you will be my student. The student of magnificent, famous, CUNNING and and and *gulp, gulp*.... ahhh and of course glorious Raihan who was kind enough to take you under his wing. Will.….."
While Raihan continued to praise himself and drink from his bottle of who knows what, let me tell you a little bit more about him. If you didn't know who he is, you would think that he performs in a theatre or he is just a circus clown or he's just a bard who earns money by praising himself. Let's add his drinking, smoking habits and the way he travels around the town, which usually is strolling around non-residential places. And you got yourself a person with a list of titles and maybe some criminal records which were given to him by other people which are: alcoholic/psychopath/smoker/self-lover/clown/bard/creepy old-man/paedophile/drug dealer/devil/murderer/funny guy/what is sobriety?/ broke for eternity. And last but not least a person who makes kids cry but not from joy or happiness but fear because of rumours and tales which were told to them at night by their parents or close friends.
Edgar: "Dad are you sure that the person which you told me about is him."
Father: "Yes"
Raihan: "Hello old friend or should I call you nunky!?"
Father: "Do not address me as...…"
*Boom* *Bats* *Crash* "AHHH MY BACK"
But before he could finish his sentence he was interrupted by a sudden crushing sound and a scream from his back. He was starting to get irritated because people management interrupted him every time he wanted to end his sentence.
Edgar's father turned around with multiple tick marks and a big *friendly* smile on his face and started to walk towards his friend!
Father: "Rai how u doing do you want me to help you sober up because I know just the right technique which I created just for you."
Raihan: "Nah I'm fine pole."
But before they could go any further with their little argument they both heard a cough behind them.
Edgar: "*ahem**ahem*So what will I be learning from you Mr Raihan?"
Raihan: "It's Master Raihan and let's go have a chat in my house and then we will decide what we will teach you."
