Street Fighter: Endless Path
Chapter 29: Training Day, Pt. 2
"I can see a glimmer of hope," Oro said as Ryu jumped on him. "There is a spark in you."
Oro grabbed him... "Perhaps one I could use to kindle into a flame, but the road to enlightenment is long and twisted." Oro slammed Ryu down. "Are you sure you wish to set foot upon it?"
The fight continued.
"I'm ready for anything," said Ryu.
Oro dodged Ryu sweep and roundhouse successfully. "Maybe I do need to take you seriously."
"Seriously? Are you toying with me? Don't insult me by holding back! The time for games is over!"
Ryu was ready to launch his patented Shoryuken but before he could, Oro stopped it. "Why must the young be so hasty?"
Oro grabbed Ryu and flung him into the air, then jumped and drove him back down. However, Oro believed he may have overdone it.
"Oh dear, I killed another one. Such promise...
"Master Oro..."
"Ryu!"
"I'm... ready... to continue the test."
"Ryu, my boy Congratulations. Your test is over. After all this time, I finally have a pupil. And not only did you survive, you survived after I used two words. Now, there's no time to lose. Come with me and I will make a fighter of you yet."
