Chapter 46: You Want Some Protein?
After everyone go into position Jim went into detail on how he wanted them to preform this jab, "Now that everyone is in their stance and your hands are placed where they need to be, follow how I drive my fist forward while rotating at the hips and driving with my shoulder. When you do this punch you aren't just throwing your arms out with no power behind it. It's like comparing a water gun to a fully automatic weapon." Jim explained to everyone in the room.
"Now that I have told you the basics of this punch let's begin the training. Everyone you may now begin throwing your jabs. I will be around to help those I see struggling. NOW BEGIN!" He yelled before walking around the ring in a circle.
Everyone in the circle began using the motions they were taught except Kaden in the back who was watching the others so they could fail a few times for him. Through watching the people fail around him for a few moments Kaden picked up on a few things that would have posed as an early challenge for him. The main thing he saw was that people were having trouble piecing together the entire motion. While some would use their hips to throw the punch they didn't use their shoulders which made it look sloppy and then some would use their shoulders but not their hips making it lack power.
With this information, Kaden began training himself. He tensed up his body while in the stance and then twisted his hips with his shoulders before throwing a hard jab forward that left a slight wind coming from his fist.
"Wowwww! Nice punch for a newbie!" Jim said behind Kaden making him jump a little in surprise.
Kaden didn't think Jim would appear behind him so suddenly because he thought he was still in a different area of the ring or at least he was when he last looked at him but it seems that he got too absorbed in making sure his punch was good. Despite the praise, Kaden still thought he was missing something.
"Since it seems you're already getting the hang of it let me offer you a bit of advice. If you want it to be even more powerful and make your body completely devoted to the jab all you need to do is breath in before you punch and as you punch blow the air out. It's the same thing as breathing but with every exhale you need to punch." Jim said giving him a little advice after seeing the impressive performance.
'He must be an ability user.' Is what Jim was thinking after the performance.
Kaden was intrigued by the new information and realized that what he said made absolute sense. With this knowledge, Kaden got in his stance once more and repeated all of the same motions as before but this time added the breathing patter that Jim had told him about.
CRACK
When Kaden threw his jab this time the impact of it left the tiniest crack in the floor below him which left Jim slack-jawed and Kaden more than happy with his current results, "Thanks for the advice!" Kaden said to Jim with a wide smile.
'What kind of beast is this kid?' Jim thought inwardly but on the outside, he replied back with a large smile, "No problem! There's still a lot to learn so keep practicing for now while I go check on the others." Jim said before walking away from Kaden to go look at more normal newbies.
This went on for a few hours until Jim decided to let the class end, "Alright everyone that will be all for today thank you for showing up and I hope to see you all again tomorrow! Also for anyone that is interested in a little boost to your power or to your training speed walk over to those cabinets at the back of the facility we sell our own handmade protein shakes! They have been proven to give an increase of up to 50% to all your firepower and this is class users included! Class dismissed!" Jim said before walking in the direction of the cabinets waiting for anyone that might be interested in purchasing the protein shakes.
'How would they increase someone's strength by 50% with just a protein shake?' Kaden wondered to himself as some of the people didn't even hesitate and began following after Jim.
With Kaden's curiosity piqued he also followed Jim along with a few others. In fact, everyone from the lesson went to see the protein shakes besides one person who left right after the lesson ended. Kaden had overheard them saying how this had been too much effort and they would rather lay in bed all day. It's safe to say that they have quit the one-week trial.
Once everyone arrived at the counter that had the cabinet behind it Jim addressed the crowd of people waiting in anticipation, "I'm glad you all have decided to try one of our amazing protein shakes! Like I said before we guarantee that each one of you will have an increase in power after drinking it but we must warn you that these are only made here so don't try and look anywhere else for them." Jim said with his normal smile and attitude.
After hearing about the power boost once more the people around Kaden had turned their minds off to any more questions or comments on the protein shake. All they wanted was to get it as soon as possible they can already begin showing progress in their strength.
Seeing this Jim went and opened up the cabinets behind him revealing the protein shake they spoke so highly of, it was blue with small little black spots all around in the substance. It was held in a see-through black bottle that only had a small label on it that said shake. Despite the strange-looking bottle people already had their wallets open and money laid on the table to buy one and buy them is exactly what they did.
