Playing through Legend of Mana with my bud when I was like 9

Starting to play tetherball, getting my ass kicked by one kid over an then absolutely wrecking his shit a month later. Become obsessed with tetherball. Get a tetherball pole set up in my backyard, play against myself all day. Go on to destroy every single older kid on the playground, create a monopoly on the tetherball court since we used king of the hill rules and nobody got close to ever beating me. Got to the point where I was punching that ball so fucking hard that I would break the string with my punches within a day of them fixing it, ruining the game for every single kid like some fucked up tetherball overlord. Eventually towards the end of the year my teacher sat me down saying that they can't afford to keep replacing the tetherballs and the other kids are pissed. I didn't care, I saw all their asses crying in line but what the fuck were they gonna do. Teacher says I have to go easy or he will ban me. Tell him "Ok" but then go right back to punching that ball with all my might. Teacher says I am banned but I just kept sneaking on to the court and threatened any kid who snitched by saying they will feel my tetherball punch to the face if they did. Moved away from there before I could ever become the oldest kid on the playground, and middle school didn't have any tetherball courts so that kind of ended my tetherball legacy.
