>>56873669He's still cucked out of his lifelong dream forever and even the being part of the legend is still him playing second fiddle to you.
>and decides to suddenly pivot to being a professor. Something he has no particular affinity for.The funniest thing is that he goes and becomes assistant to fucking Sonia who once long ago gave up on her career as a trainer and spent years not doing anything with her life and being depressed about it because she couldn't compare to Leon.
So he decides to do something else with his life because he won't be able to become Champion... and decides to do so under the other failure at life.
Hop's life is nothing but being buck broken and being eternal second place. And him being happy for it. But on the forced smile kind of way.
It's not even that hard to fix Hop. You keep the basic idea, him trying to be Leon 2.0 because of everyone else expectations and his admiration for his brother, failing at it, keeps tryharding, failing even harder, ignoring everything else, including other things he actually likes but he feels he should not give attention to because he's gotta be Leon 2.0, realizing he just can be himself because of whatever event, he moves on to be Sonia's assistant, ???, profit.
A simple storyline of follow the path you want instead of what you think is expected of you.
