Samuel was a determined sixth-grader who had grown tired of the constant taunts and demands from the local bullies. Day after day, they would summon their friends and surround him, insisting he hand over his hard-earned money. Feeling powerless and frustrated, Samuel knew he had to take action.
One day, as the bullies surrounded him once again, Samuel had an idea. He remembered hearing stories of a master fighter who lived atop the immense mountain just outside of town. Without hesitation, Samuel set out on the arduous journey, determined to learn the skills he needed to confront his tormentors.
The climb was an ordeal, but Samuel's determination never wavered. Finally, after several grueling hours, he reached the summit and found the wise old master, who was more than happy to take him under his wing. Over the next few weeks, Samuel trained tirelessly, learning techniques that were as fast as the speed of light.
With his newfound skills, Samuel returned to town, ready to face the bullies. When they tried to summon their friends and taunt him, Samuel remained calm and assured. He calmly explained that he had learned from the master on the mountain and was now prepared to defend himself.
The bullies, sensing the change in Samuel, tried to back down, but Samuel was not going to let them off so easily. He challenged them to a fight, and the battle that ensued was fierce. Samuel used his newly acquired skills to swiftly take down the bullies, one by one, until he stood face-to-face with the leader.
The bully, realizing he was outmatched, tried to plead for mercy, asking Samuel if he was going to "learn magic or something." Samuel simply replied, "Maybe," before delivering the final blow, causing the bully to faint. With the ordeal behind him, Samuel knew his journey was not over. He decided to return to the mountain, this time to seek the master of magic, determined to continue his transformation into a true hero.
