"So you can get a clearer understanding of the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist... come at me!"
Bang straightened up and beckoned to Baicang.
He wasn't trying to put Baicang in his place. It was simply that, unlike Charanko, Baicang wasn't an ordinary person, but a Professional Hero.
His physical toughness was very different, so the training methods used for ordinary students wouldn't work for him.
Bang intended to test Baicang's current speed, strength, and other abilities, then use the results to find the martial arts path best suited to him.
"Master, how could we trouble you to do this yourself!"
Charanko shouted from beside them, stepping in front of Baicang before turning to look at Bang.
"As the senior disciple of the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, let me help you test our new junior disciple's abilities."
"...All right."
After somehow becoming the dojo's "only" senior disciple, Charanko had gotten a little too full of himself.
Bang could also take this opportunity to have Baicang temper his impetuous nature.
"Baicang, right? I'm your senior disciple. My name's Charanko. Remember it."
Charanko folded his arms and gave Baicang a sidelong look.
"...Hello."
Baicang merely gave him a slight nod.
Charanko immediately felt that the newcomer was looking down on him. He had already been a little annoyed with Baicang for turning Bang down.
Now he was even more irritated!

Baicang, meanwhile, thought he was taking far too long and tilted his head toward Bang.
"Can we start now?"
Bang nodded.
"That attitude of yours is-"
Charanko had only just opened his eyes when he saw a fist coming
