[Tonight had been probably one of the highest points in Ippo's life. Even higher than being accepted into Hope's Peak Academy on account of his unique gift for the noble art of boxing; tonight had bore the fruit of all his hard work and training, every bit of blood and sweat he'd put forth on this arduous road he'd set himself on. He'd gone off from the school that night for his very first title challenge, a mere teenager of 17 who had risen through the ranks to challenge the current reigning featherweight champion of Japan...and as he walked back through the doors of the school, he was returning a champion.
His belt was still strapped firmly around his waist and even if his face looked a little swollen and out of sorts, the smile gracing it was practically radiant. He didn't immediately see anyone, partially because his left eye was swollen and mostly because it was at a point in the night where people were either in their rooms, in the lounge, or attending night classes, but that didn't matter much to him.
He'd finally achieved a dream of his for as long as he could think back to when he'd first discovered his talent and love of the sport...and now it was finally time to celebrate!
It was time to find the school store, because even if he couldn't get food this time of the night...he certain could go get himself a well deserved snack.]
