Baki waited in the room. After a while, Tom Lee returned, grinning. "Kid, I just got a big offer. So here's the thing: if you can impress me, not only will you be recruited, but this task will also be handed to you. What do you say?"
Baki took off his shirt. "As long as the pay is good, I'm ready when you are." Hearing this, Tom Lee laughed thunderously. "Hahaha! Don't disappoint me, kid! Hit me first however you want!"
Baki threw a rapid flurry of punches to gauge Tom Lee's defense, but Tom Lee only laughed at the strikes. "Oops."
Seeing that he was doing no damage whatsoever, Baki executed a roundhouse kick to Tom Lee's face, which sent him crashing into the wall.

Downstairs
A man wearing a cap asked, "Hey, what was that?"
A fat man watching TV answered, "Ah, it must be the upper office again. I heard they're always fighting..."
The man in the cap asked, "Again? What on earth does that company do?"
The fat man said, "I heard they own the building..."

Tom Lee laughed. "Nice, nice! Fly away, but you're not giving me ti—" Before he could finish speaking, Baki smashed a flying knee into his face, then started pounding it with a flurry of punches. But Tom Lee still laughed. "THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE! YOU'RE LIKE A SAVAGE BEAST!"
Suddenly he caught Baki's hand mid-punch and said, "But... why does it feel like you're not taking this seriously? Are you taking it easy on me because of my age? If so... I'm a bit disappointed." With that, he sent Baki flying with a single punch.
"Strength mastery?" Baki mused. Tom Lee closed in on Baki and started sending a flurry of punches. At first, a few punches grazed his shoulder.
"This man is a monster greater than anyone I've ever fought. Each one of his punches is bone-crushing. But I've always been waiting for a moment like this," Baki thought.
Tom Lee, who had been dominating the fight, noticed something change about Baki. Suddenly Baki started dodging his attacks. It wasn't the kind of dodging that came from speed. Tom Lee felt like he was being seen through. He couldn't quite explain the feeling, but he sensed that Baki was predicting his attacks through every twitch of his muscles and reacting before he even unleashed them. Tom Lee laughed thunderously. "THIS FEELING! THIS FEELING IS GREAT!"
Suddenly someone entered the room. "You! Motherfucker! Are you the building owner? Even if you are, you should have some common sense!" the fat boy complained.
"Aren't you being too muc—" His words stopped in his mouth as he saw Tom Lee literally rip the metal door off its hinges. Tom Lee bashed the door toward Baki. Smoke filled the room. When it cleared, Baki wasn't there anymore. Suddenly, a kick connected with Tom Lee's jaw. His brain was rattled. But Baki didn't stop—he threw another flurry of punches.
Tom Lee grinned. "Oh~ Ouch~ It does hurt a bit."
Baki also grinned. "Then I might as well hurt you a little more. I don't like to use this technique very much." Baki took a stance, his body almost fluid. Suddenly his body snapped, his hand slapping at Tom Lee's body. Tom Lee stood there to take the attack, but as soon as it connected, it caused enough pain that he cried out in agony.
"What the heck was that, kid?!" he shouted in surprise. With that, he sent a massive punch at Baki that crashed him into the wall. Then he jumped at Baki and stomped on him. "GET CRUSHED~"
Baki rolled away. Tom Lee laughed and said, "Boy, you're in. But let's fight a bit more, because it's been a long time since I enjoyed a fight this much. In the meantime, let me tell you about the White Tiger Forces." As he said that, he sent a rapid flurry of punches at Baki. Baki kept dodging them, but another punch connected with him, sending him crashing into the walls again.
The fat boy was stunned seeing all this. Suddenly Baki crashed into the wall beside him. The fat boy was scared shitless. Tom Lee kicked the downed Baki in the face and started sending a flurry of punches. The fat boy cried, "M-MOM..."
Tom said, "WE RECEIVE MONEY PER CASE. TAKE THE ADVANCE PAYMENT FIRST AND START WORKING. NO REFUNDS. WE DON'T TAKE POWERLESS CUSTOMERS IN THE FIRST PLACE."
Baki curled up and crossed his arms in defense. Tom continued, "IN ONE WORD, YOU EARN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN! IF YOU DO WELL, YOU CAN RECEIVE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS PER MONTH. ANY QUESTIONS?"
Tom stopped his flurry of punches because he found that Baki was missing. Ever since Baki had fought with James Lee, he has been developing a counter for invisible attacks. After hundreds of trial and error, he came up with a technique. With his Instinctive Action, Baki was able to dodge someone's line of sight, making himself invisible to them, and could move without the need for acceleration, starting already at top speed.
OHH~ Your speed is just..." Before he could finish, Baki moved behind him and threw a strong punch to his head, which thrust Tom Lee's face into the wall.
"I like that," Baki grinned.
