In the dimly lit wrestling school gym, the stale scent of sweat and determination hung heavy in the air. The mats, worn from countless hours of training, bore the marks of past struggles. Rows of metal chairs lined the perimeter, where spectators would usually sit, now empty except for the aspiring wrestlers gathered in the center. The red-haired instructor stood at the forefront, his imposing figure casting a shadow over the group. His piercing gaze swept over the determined faces before him, his voice cutting through the silence with an air of authority.
“I give half of you a day, the other half about a week before you all give up. Thats 604,800 seconds”
The red haired instructor glares at the collected group of aspirant wrestlers but Khloe but cant help but notice his head drop to look right at her. “You…..a few hours IF that short-stack.”
This gets a few chuckles from those standing around Khloe, her appearance already vastly different from the others with her pastel colored workout gear.
The instructor paced back and forth, his voice echoing off the walls as he continued his tirade. “You all think you’ve got what it takes to be pro wrestlers? You’re nothing but a bunch of dreamers, living in a fantasy world!” His words were like daggers, aimed at each individual in the room.
But his focus kept returning to Khloe. “And you, with your cotton candy colored nonsense,” he sneered, pointing a finger at her. “You think you can step into this ring and make something of yourself? You’re a joke, a waste of space!”
As the tension in the room reached its peak, a door creaked open, and another instructor entered the gym. Unlike the red-haired figure who had been berating the students, this instructor exuded warmth and kindness. Their smile was genuine as they addressed the group.
“Alright, everyone, let’s dial it down a notch,” the new instructor said, their voice calm yet firm. “I’m here to help you all achieve your dreams, whatever they may be. You can call me Coach Jay”
The contrast between the two instructors was stark, and the students couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief wash over them as the atmosphere shifted. Khloe’s eyes flickered with gratitude as she looked towards the new arrival.
“Now me and Coach Adrian will be splitting the class into two groups for the duration of the training camp. Both groups will learn similar things and at the end of it we will be hosting a mini charity event that a few small time promotions come and watch.”
That gets a pop from the group as they all start to whisper to each other about the possibilities ahead of them.
Coach Jay stepped forward, his demeanor gentle yet determined.
"Alright, everyone," he began, his voice carrying a sense of encouragement,
"my philosophy is all about nurturing your skills and helping you become the best wrestlers you can be. It's not just about brute strength, but about technique, strategy, and heart. I believe in building each of you up, helping you discover your strengths and work on your weaknesses. Remember, it's not just about winning matches, but about becoming better wrestlers and better people in the process."
As Coach Jay finished his speech, he met each wrestler's gaze with a reassuring smile, instilling a sense of confidence and belief in their abilities.
Meanwhile, Coach Adrian took a more commanding stance, his eyes flashing with intensity as he addressed the group.
"Listen up, maggots," he barked, his voice booming through the gym. "My philosophy is simple: I'm here to turn you into warriors. This isn't a game, this is a battle, and I expect nothing less than your absolute best every single time you step into that ring. I'll push you to your limits, and then some, because I believe that's the only way to truly succeed in this world. So, if you're not ready to give it your all, then you might as well walk out that door right now. Make your decisions you have ten minutes.”
As Coach Adrian's words hung in the air, the wrestlers exchanged nervous glances, steeling themselves for the tough journey ahead under his tutelage. Both Coaches stand on opposite sides of the gym a timer slowly counting down. Khloe hesitated for a moment, her eyes flickering between the two instructors. Despite the harsh words from the red-haired instructor, there was a part of her that felt drawn to the challenge he presented. With a determined nod, she made her decision and stepped forward, joining the group led by the abrasive instructor.
Coach Adrian’s piercing gaze swept over the assembled wrestlers until it settled on Khloe. “You,” he bellowed, his voice dripping with disdain, “you should go with Jay. You think you’re tough enough to handle my training? You’re just a little girl playing dress-up in a man’s world.”
Khloe’s jaw tightened at his words, but she held her ground, refusing to back down. She knew she had a choice, and despite the doubts creeping in, she remained steadfast in her decision.
“Maybe you’re right,” she replied evenly, her voice steady despite the nerves churning inside her. “Maybe I should’ve gone with Coach Jay. But I’m here to prove myself, to earn my place in this ring. I want the challenge, Coach, and I’m not afraid to fight for it.”
The red-haired instructor smirked as he saw Khloe’s choice, a glint of approval in his eyes. “Welcome to the real training, short-stack,” he said gruffly, his tone still sharp but with a hint of respect underlying his words.
As the timer buzzed, Coach Adrian's commanding voice echoed through the gym, signaling the end of the regular training session. Without a moment's hesitation, he led his group to a different section of the building, a stark contrast to the familiar comfort of the main gym.The wrestlers followed in silence, their anticipation mingled with apprehension as they entered the new space.
It was a gym, but stripped of any comfort or familiarity. The mats were worn and frayed, the walls barren save for a few motivational posters peeling at the edges.
"This is where the real work begins," Coach Adrian announced, his voice devoid of its usual gruffness, replaced instead by a steely determination. "Welcome to the heart of your training—the place I like to call the Forge."
Khloe glanced around, taking in the austere surroundings. There were no rows of metal chairs, no spectators to watch their struggles—just the raw essence of the sport they had chosen to pursue."Here, there are no shortcuts, no excuses,"
Coach Adrian continued, his words resonating with a sense of urgency. "You'll learn to push past your limits, to embrace the pain and the struggle, because that's what it takes to be a wrestler."
With a nod from Coach Adrian, the training session began in earnest. The would be wrestlers were pushed to their breaking points, their bodies pushed to the brink of exhaustion as they endured one grueling drill after another.
Khloe felt the burn in her muscles, the ache in her bones, but she refused to give in.
Each repetition brought her closer to her goal, each drop of sweat a testament to her dedication and determination.
As the session drew to a close, Coach Adrian's voice cut through the air once more. "You think this is tough?" he challenged, his gaze piercing as it swept over the group.
"This is just the beginning. If you want to make it in this sport, you'll need to be willing to sacrifice everything. Are you ready to give it your all?"
Khloe met his gaze with unwavering determination.
She may have chosen the harder path, but she was determined to emerge from it stronger, more resilient, and ready to take on whatever challenges lay ahead of her.
After the grueling training session at the Forge, Khloe stumbled out of the gym, her body feeling like it had been through a war. Every muscle ached, and every joint protested with each step she took. She could barely keep her eyes open as she made her way to the bus stop, her mind consumed by thoughts of the punishing day she had just endured.
As she boarded the bus, Khloe collapsed into a seat near the back, her body slumping against the window. The familiar hum of the engine and the rhythmic sway of the bus did little to ease her discomfort. She felt utterly defeated, her spirit crushed by the sheer physical and mental toll of the training session.
The other passengers on the bus seemed to fade into the background as Khloe closed her eyes, allowing herself a moment of respite from the pain. She couldn’t help but replay the events of the day in her mind, each drill and exercise haunting her like a relentless specter.
Despite her exhaustion, a flicker of determination burned within her. She refused to let one tough day break her spirit. She knew that the road ahead would be long and challenging, but she was ready to face whatever obstacles came her way.
As the bus rumbled on, Khloe leaned her head against the window, the gentle vibrations lulling her into a fitful bout of rest. Tomorrow would be another day, another chance to prove herself.
And she would be ready.
Khloe’s phone buzzed, and she saw her mother’s name flash on the screen. She took a deep breath and answered the call, bracing herself for her mother’s stern voice.
“Katherine,” her mother’s voice came through the phone, cutting and direct as always. “Where are you? You should be home by now.”
Khloe paused, her mind racing for a response that wouldn’t arouse suspicion. “Oh, hi Mom,” she replied casually, her tone light and unconcerned. “I’m just at a friend’s house. We’re working on a school project together.”
There was a brief silence on the other end of the line, and Khloe held her breath, waiting for her mother’s reaction.
“Hmm,” her mother’s voice sounded skeptical, but she didn’t press further. “Make sure you’re home before dark. And don’t forget your responsibilities.”
“Yes Mother I will be ho-“
“Katherine, I hope you haven’t forgotten about your college applications,” her mother said, her voice tinged with a hint of impatience. “Your father and I have already discussed the options, and we expect you to choose from one of the schools we’ve selected for you.”
Khloe’s heart sank at the reminder of her parents’ plans for her future. She had spent countless hours poring over brochures and attending college fairs, but none of the schools on their list had sparked any real excitement within her.
“I haven’t forgotten, Mom,” Khloe replied, her voice tinged with resignation. “I’ll look at the options again when I get home.”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, and Khloe could almost feel her mother’s disapproval through the phone.
“I expect you to make a decision soon, Katherine,” her mother said finally, her tone firm. “Your future is too important to leave to chance.”
The line would click before Khloe could get another word in, like always her mother controlled everything.
As the bus continued its journey, Khloe’s thoughts were consumed by the weight of her mother’s expectations and the uncertainty of her own future. She knew that she had to make a decision soon, but the prospect of choosing between her parents’ plans and her own desires filled her with a sense of dread.
As she stepped off the bus and trudged towards her house, Khloe couldn’t shake the feeling of being trapped between two worlds. She was torn between the familiar path laid out for her by her family and the unknown journey she had embarked upon in pursuit of her wrestling dreams.
But deep down, Khloe knew that she couldn’t ignore the fire that burned within her—the same fire that had led her to choose Coach Adrian’s group, despite the challenges it presented. She was determined to forge her own path, even if it meant defying her family’s expectations and facing the unknown alone.
As the grains of pink sand trickled through the colossal hourglass, Khloe sat perched atop its curved surface, her fingers tracing the intricate patterns etched into the glass. Around her, the room pulsed with the heartbeat of time itself, every corner adorned with ticking clocks, swirling hourglasses, and pendulum swings.
“Twenty minutes may not seem like a lot of time, but in this ring, it’s everything. It’s 1,200 seconds of pure intensity, where every move, every hold, every decision counts. And let me tell you, Easton, in those 20 minutes, you can lose more than just a match. You can lose your pride, your dignity, your reputation.”
She stood on the hourglass, her Prestige Championship glinting off the lights, a beacon of her dominance.
“In just 20 minutes, you can lose your fanbase, your support, your reputation as a champion. You can lose the respect of everyone in this arena, everyone watching at home. You can lose it all, Easton, and mark my words, I’m going to be the one to take it from you.”
With a subtle lift of her chin, Khloe let the synchronized click of the clocks around her fill the empty space, punctuating her declaration with the relentless march of time.
“Yeah everyone has been asking if I was gonna wait and I really REALLY thought about it…but a long time ago I learned it’s the early bird that gets the worm. I dunno why someone cookie cutter like you has the Anarchy Belt so I’ve decided to take it from you…..”
Her gaze hardened, locking onto the camera with unwavering determination.
“And you know what’s exhilarating about anarchy, Easton?”
Khloe’s voice surged with excitement, her eyes ablaze with anticipation.
“It’s the liberation from the shackles of order, the freedom to carve our own paths amidst the chaos of time. In the swirling vortex of the ring, where seconds stretch into eternity and moments flicker like flames, anarchy reigns supreme. It’s in the unpredictable dance of time’s pendulum that we find our true essence, our raw power untamed by convention or constraint. So as the sands of time slip through the hourglass, I embrace the anarchy, the defiance against the regimented march of seconds. When that bell tolls, and the chaos unfolds, I’ll be there, seizing each fragmented moment, each fleeting opportunity, to rewrite the rules and etch my legacy in the annals of time.”
“Im going to use you to show the people who make decisions they need to take me just a smidge more serious because when i take your belt this coming Danger…it will only take 3 out of those 1,200 seconds for me to……
Kick.Your.Ass.”
“I give half of you a day, the other half about a week before you all give up. Thats 604,800 seconds”
The red haired instructor glares at the collected group of aspirant wrestlers but Khloe but cant help but notice his head drop to look right at her. “You…..a few hours IF that short-stack.”
