Rot tumbles over Taylor and Coach Phillips comes after him

With Coach Phillips coming after him, Rot didn't have any choice but to tumble backwards over Taylor. Taylor was definitely racking up some serious attention in the future... assuming he survived to see the future.

As Rot had suspected, Coach Phillips followed, lunging for Rot as Rot went down.

Which was fine. The trick had worked on Colleen the previous afternoon and it would work even better on the muscular coach. Rot planted both feet in Coach Phillips's midsection, grasped the coach's arms, and rolled with his feet up.

Coach Phillips had seen the trick before, though, and wriggled off the perch before Rot could complete the throw.

"I'm going to wipe down the gym with your ass," the coach shouted as he tried to regain his feet.

That moment of imbalance was what Rot needed... and, of course, the coach slowing down to gloat.

Rot shoved the off-balance Taylor into Coach Phillips. Normally he'd go for a submission now, but he didn't want to stay on the ground because the football jocks were edging closer. Instead, he regained his feet.

"As you can see, when you face multiple opponents," he said loudly to the assembled students, it's important to try to keep them in a line where they get in each other's way. And you never know when you'll have more than one opponent."

Coach Phillips growled, then rushed him, this time going for Rot's legs.

Rot jumped backward, spreading his legs and leaning forward to prevent the pin. Then he lowered a couple of elbow strikes to the back of Coach Phillips's head.

The man went down like a sack of potatoes and Rot danced away. "I guess that's all for Coach Phillips. Any of you jocks want to try your luck, or do you want to sign up and learn how to defend yourself for real?
