Magnus Rikiya: My cousin who I had never heard from before just called because apparently their kid wants to be just like cousin Magnus and take on the world by being the best something sports related in existence.
Agent Tesla: Well that is a perfectly reasonable goal for a young person I would say Magnus. You yourself got your start by aiming to be the world's strongest after all.
Magnus Rikiya: Yeah that's not the problem though. The kid apparently slipped up on their last test and missed a couple homework assignments. I never had a problem balanced schoolwork, socializing, and still getting in the training I needed to compete. My cousin asked me to say something to the kid to help get them on the right track, but I have no idea what to tell them.
Agent Tesla: Really now Magnus?
Magnus Rikiya: I do my best to help kids when I can and you know that. Balancing all the work that you have at that age is difficult enough though without a relative you have never really talked to telling you to get your head on straight. What could I tell them that their parents haven't already, and what makes them think the kid would listen to me?
Agent Tesla: That kid most likely idolizes you as someone who was able to achieve their dreams. Try to think back to that time and what you struggled most with in terms of the balance. Then just tell the kid what you think would have helped you the most.
Magnus Rikiya: Fire your agent and put out a for hire looking for a green haired weirdo?
Agent Tesla: Not the worst advice you could give a kid aspiring to be a professional athlete.
Magnus Rikiya: Can I tell them you'll take them on as a client if they manage to maintain a good enough GPA?
Agent Tesla: Feel free to do so Magnus. You pay me enough as it is to justify it and if that gets the kid to keep a 2.5 then I think it well worth the price.
Magnus Rikiya: Done deal. Thanks.
