Theodore Long's voice echoed through the room like a tempest as he confronted Alex, his body twisting as if he was about to whip Alex with his cane
Amidst the pushups, Alex stole a glance at his progress toward his daily quest.
With a mischievous grin, he contemplated,
'Only 31 left! Maybe I can keep doing them while explaining, hehe.' Alex continued his pushups to Professor Longs' bewilderment
"Professor Long! " Alex gasped between breaths, "It's an honor, to meet you! I decided to warm up before I picked my weapon. I'm not positive yet about..unnggh..what I will choose, but I'm contemplating. Instead of waiting in line, I thought this would be a smarter use of everyone's...unghhh.. time, Sir!"
Alex's words were accompanied by a confident smile, and he rose to his feet, sweat trickling down his face.
Theodore Long found himself momentarily stunned by Alex's response, torn between reprimanding the young student and acknowledging the logic in his actions.
