He'd been a loser in school. He'd been a loser at his job. He'd been a loser all his life. So it made sense that he'd be treated like a loser at Cobra Kai, too. Raymond could deal with that, because word was that Sensei Lawrence turned losers into badasses.

That wasn't entirely the case. Sensei Lawrence didn't appreciate the hard work he put in. But the Sensei Emeritus had.

"Good work, Stingray."

With that slight note of encouragement, Raymond was ready to show everyone that Stingrays were just as venomous as Cobras if you stepped on them too hard.
