Chapter 5

The day finally ended, yet he heard through the other students that they were upset to say the least. "Josh promised an appearance by an M Class Dragon! Where is it?"

"He's such a liar, we should have known better."

"Just like the last time when he said he could get Amai Mask to come to his birthday party"

It brought a little smirk to Drax, and yet he wondered. With detention until the final day of class, what did Goliath have in store? Not to mention what was he planning that required the gym?

The final bell went off, Drax kept inside a while longer just in case Amai decided to show up, yet as he peered outside, he did see something strange. There was a rather large looking man in a white suit waiting in the schoolyard. He wore a white fedora hat, and sat near a rather nice sports car. "Wait… is that?" Drax wondered.

He walked out slowly as the man in white quickly took notice of him. He smiled and approached Drax, a part of him stood ready to fight. Yet, another part of him wanted to see who this man really was.

He leaned down and whispered. "Ready to go?"

Drax was stunned. It was Amai! "How…"

"I'll explain in the car, come along, I am certain you don't want to linger around here any longer."

With that, Drax hopped into the car. As they drove, Amai explained it was a suit Alley made for him. "I understand your concern and wanting to reserve your privacy for as long as possible. Which is why I asked her to construct this for me. I just have to hit a button and it does a full makeup instantly. What do you think?"

"Fooled me!"

They reached City R rather quickly. Amai took Drax to the flat and removed his disguise. It was true, one button on his belt took off the suit retracted, folded and was contained in his belt buckle! Drax was amazed by it all. "So, I have come to understand that Suiryu isn't fit to train you right now. So, how about you and I train?"

"Really?! Okay!" Drax said with great excitement.

There was one perk Amai had in this fancy condos, he has a whole gym to himself!

Amai was a beast, at least in Drax's mind. For a while Drax went as hard and fast as he could, landing stiff and quick strikes to Amai who easily took the blows and could block his attacks. They were nothing to him, after all, he could stop his fists with a single finger! Yet as Drax tired out, Amai didn't even break a sweat. "Excellent reflexes, no doubt from your father and speed to match. What is lacking is strength, I already been informed Suiryu was helping you with that, but hasn't for the past little while."

"Yeah, dad said he's been acting weird as of late. So I haven't really had a way to getting stronger. I do weights, but that's about it."

"Weights…" Amai muttered but then appeared to have recalled something. "Ah yes, that was it."

He walked way for a moment, when he returned, he presented Drax with a two piece workout suit, it was a light and yet form fitting. "Another item I requested of Alley. Despite how this looks, this is actually weighed fabric. This alone is fifty pounds of you can believe it. Try this on."

It confused him at first, yet Drax humored Amai. When he took the suit from Sweet Mask, Drax instantly felt the weight of it. Stunned to say the least as he went to change into it. It was a little difficult to put on, lifting it up over his head was one thing, trying to get the pants up was another! When he got everything on, he found the suit somehow latched the two pieces together. Perhaps to ensure the pants don't fall down! He found movement a little difficult to do. He placed his work out clothing over top before rejoining Amai again. "How does it feel?"

"Heavy… I didn't think it was that big of a deal to wear! Holy crap!"

Sweet Mask smirked. "Now, let see how much your reflexes are dulled. Come at me."

With a second wind, Drax sparred with Amai, attempting to land strikes and blows but found himself far slower than before. When he was out of breath, the sparring session stopped. "Huh, you are about average now for speed and reflexes. It will be interesting to see how fast you adapt to the weight…" He paused and looked to Drax oddly. "Have you spoken with your father?"

He sighed and took a seat on the bench. "He doesn't like the idea, but, if I can get my grades up to 90%, he said I could."

"90%? That's quite a task…"

"Goliath is helping me, but dad doesn't know it yet… did you sent him today? The school called about me 'beating up' the bullies who have been picking on me."

He shook his head. "I received no such call, unless they called your father's phone… if that was the case… Goliath may have answered it before Snek could have."

"Either way, he did a great job as posing as my tutor. It's funny, he wore a suit that looked like your snake skin!"

There was an awkward pause on Amai's face. "Did he? Huh… I wondered why Alley collected those shedding…"

Drax suddenly realized it was made from Amai's snakeskin! "Anyway…" Drax said aloud. "I got 'detention' until the end of the school year, but Goliath convinced the principal to keep the gym and library open for us so he can tutor me… I should be concerned shouldn't I?"

A chuckle came from the A Class hero. "If you weren't, I would be! Goliath I have noticed is somewhat of a loose cannon in a sense. I never know what to expect out of him, never could I have imagined that he was of high intellect, and yet he has strength that is startling for one so young." He paused. "However, knowing who his mother and father are…"

Drax laughed and nodded. "Can we train a little more, I feel rested."

Amai nodded as Drax stood up again. Taking his stance, Amai stood at the ready. "Unleash whatever you possess, show me your strength!" Sweet Mask called. Drax smiled as began round three…
