Eara wanted to quickly jump back at the game but Yulis pulled her off of her bed.
It's very unhealthy to be laying in bed all day and Yulis needed to make sure that her growing little sister's body is in perfect shape and condition.
She planned to register the two for a month in one of the local gym temporarily, she was keeping the money that she won from the lottery for their future house.
In her previous life, she knew of an old business man who would sell one of his buildings for around a million or so credits.
Although it'll be after two months from now before he advertise it, Yulis would make sure to have enough money to purchase said building and an additional more for renovations.
This small old house wasn't enough for her, the space, design, security and privacy did not satisfy Yulis one bit.
A burglar may break in and harm her little sister, although with her around no living human can harm her sister, what would happen if she's not home? Or if those with ill intentions carried a firearm? sure she could probably subdue them but her sister may get hurt in the process.
Her imagination played several scenarios where her sister would get kidnapped, or worse.....
The two arrived at a certain building only several hundred meters away from their house, a quick 15 or so minutes jog was all it took for them to arrive, they were greeted by an old security guard.
The guard stared at the pair before speaking with a grumpy voice. "what's your business here?"
"we're here to sign up for membership."
"the two of you?"
"yup"
The guard sighed and gave the pair temporary cards before letting them in.
"talk to the receptionist over there" the guard pointed before returning to his post.
The female receptionist was the opposite of the guard, she was younger about a year or two older than Yulis and quite energetic.
"Welcome to the Muscle Paradise gym, i believe you two wanted to sign up for membership? im sorry i overheard your conversation with old man jenkeens over there." The girl enthusiastically said with a high pitch voice.
"uhhh, yeah, what kind of membership tier have you got?"
"we have three actually, there's the cheapest one, bronze card would give you access to the basic facilities and the first floor showers and a daily basic cafeteria access." The girl pulled out a bronze colored card.
"next we have the silver card, it'll give you access to both basic and intermediate facilities of the gym, it'll give you access to both first and second floor showers and the steaming rooms at the second floor aswell, and a daily intermediate cafeteria access."
"Finally the Gold card the most expensive one, it gives you full access to the third floor and below facilities, whether they be basic until advanced, that includes the shower rooms, steaming rooms, and bathrooms. You can also get a private room fully equipped and hire a weekly masseuse, and finally you can either eat at the cafeteria or order food to eat at your private rooms. "
All cards can either be paid monthly, every six months or yearly, and strictly no refunds, failure in payment will get you kicked out so please don't forget to pay.
Yulis nodded along the explanation which made the receptionist happy.
" gimme two gold cards please." Yulis casually said while pulling out her credit card.
Her answer momentarily stunned the receptionist but she quickly recovered.
Eara on the other hand almost puked when her sister took several papers and signed them.
Alright sis, your turn to sign, Yulis gave Eara the pen.
Eara on the other hand was still stunned, only returning to the world when Yulis waved her hand in front of her.
"w-wait sis, isn't the bronze card more reasonable?!" Eara panicked at the thought of wasting money.
"heh? oh! nahhh, it'll be only for a month or two until we move to our new.…. i mean the company is willing to pay...." Yulis paused and glanced at the receptionist whose ears are pointed at their direction.
"erm, it'll be fine, i can afford it, my new job pays well..... eheh...." Yulis awkwardly laughed it off, Yulis wasn't used to lying with a straight face. It also didn't help that she's lying to her sister.
Eara simply stared at the paper before reluctantly signing, the pair entered a room where they were photographed and in a matter of minutes, new identification cards were given to them. It didn't look any differently than the other cards but it had a golden plate in one corner.
The pair walked up inside of a large spacious room, several training equipment were either mounted up in the wall or in floors.
The first floor is filled with people who were busy training. Yulis held Eara's hand and walked towards the staircase leading to the second floor.
Walking up, the second floor had less people in it but still plenty enough to cause a few noises here and there.
The pair was about to walk up the third floor when a man in his mid 20s stopped them.
"Yo brats, that's the stairway leading to the third floor, only gold card holders are allowed in there." A guy who had a blinde hair spoke with an annoying voice.
"oh, is that so?" Yulis replied while casually swiping her sister's gold card causing the door to open."go in first" giving the card back to her sister who had a worried look on her face but still obliged and entered, the door closed soon after.
"wha-" the guy was flustered and was visibly red from embarrassment.
"how cute." Yulis murmured before swiping her own card before entering the door.
"you-" his voice was cut when the door slammed shut in front of his face.
The blonde haired guy was left standing in front of the door, several guys who watched it all happened began snickering and some even clapped.
"what's her problem!" The guy stormed off towards the first floor before speaking to the receptionist.
The pair on the other hand entered a more expensive looking room. The space in between the training equipment was wider, giving more personal space for the users to use.
There was also a hallway leading to another building where the private rooms were located.
There were a few people present and they all looked rich with their demeanour and their clothings.
There were to types of peoples in the third floor, first there was, the im rich but don't care people who was just there to exercise without getting disturbed. They wore a simple attire and they brought their own food, it was specially designed for their own body, and is also extremely nutritious and varied depending on their bodily needs. Some have specialised devices to monitor their body status.
Next are the show off paupers. They wore clothes that had popular and expensive brands, expensive jewelry, like golden watches, diamond rings and the stereotypical jewelleries and high end devices. They would loudly talk to their friends or phone about what expensive cars or items they've brought and where luxurious parties they've went. They always have their phone pointed at themselves, always taking pictures and videos, of their expensive clothings and other stuffs.
The pair weren't wearing any expensive training gears, and and luxury items. They wore a plain set of training clothes.
Yulis gave Eara an ordinary looking watch, after wearing it and turning it on it suddenly vibrated.
She felt a weird feeling throughout her body and and the watch suddenly updated with her body information which was terrifyingly accurate.
Yulis simply smiled and showed her wrist that was already equipped with the same watch.
Eara found out that her information was already registered in the watch and it only needed a reconfirmation by scanning her body.
The pair didn't elicit any attention and was simply ignored.
Yulis wanted to use the private rooms, she had several reasons to do so. First she didn't want any strangers staring at her sister's body, second she wanted to monopolise her sister for her and her alone, finally she didn't want to share to the world her sister.
Eara wanted to train like normal but her sister kept on insisting on these weird arrangements. She didn't know what is going on in her sister's head but she still followed after her.
While the pair was walking side by side, an Amelia who was peeking in the corner of the room can be found.
At first she couldn't believe her eyes, she once again met her.... complicated enemy.
She found her heart beating wildly again as her brain ran the previous memory of hers with Yulis, although some parts were clearly exaggerated.
However another younger girl came along holding her hand, this scene caused Amelia's world to crumble.
She felt as if the girl she was attracted to, didn't knew she existed.
She quickly slapped herself awake, her reasoning finally caught up with her behaviour.
"she's an enemy Amelia! what in the world are you thinking!?"
Yet her ears was clearly rebelling as it secretly listened to the pairs conversation.
The ear managed to gather an extremely important data which caused her head to dump the so called reason.
" hey sis, why did we have to use the gold card when we could've just brought the bronze card no problem?" Eara was still complaining to her sister about her actions.
Amelia suddenly perked up. "sis?...."she slowly muttered before her gaze fell on to Eara." oh my gawd there's two of them!? "
A piercing gaze caused Eara's hair on the back of her neck to rise up. Yulis detected it but actually failed to find the source. She was about to go look when Eara pulled Yulis inside of their private room.
Yulis took note of it but set her priorities to her sister, before removing their jackets Yulis scanned the room for any hidden bugs like hidden camera and what not and thankfully there wasn't.
The room was fully equipped with training equipment, a thread mill in one corner, a full set of dumbells on the wall, a tv set mounted in the wall with an instructional guide for exercise, and several others on the other side of the room, half of the floor was covered by a mat and a drawer with towels beside the tv set.
Yulis's main purpose for bringing her sister here was to train her body ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
In their previous fight with the undead knight Yulis noticed her sister's talent for fighting, she decided to personally tutor her for a month or two in the gym until they get their new house.
Being able to fight is something that more and more people will learn while playing the game, Yulis will also be more at ease if her sister knew how to defend herself.
First the pair did stretches before Yulis asked to spar with her sister, Eara's eyes widened and nodded her head excitedly, Completely forgetting about her complains.
Yulis entered a basic defensive stance, raising one hand near her face while her other is lowered.
Eara already knew some of the basics like how to move and strike without tripping over her own foot.
Stepping forward while keeping an eye on her sister's foot, stance and the lowered arm, before throwing a feint punch.
Yulis simply parried the punch, this gave a momentary open space which eara lunged and did another quick punch on the opening.
Yulis moved a step backwards and returned to her stance before dodging the punch, eara who missed her punch slightly lost her balance allowing yulis to lightly tapped her sister in the head that was exposed.
"You're a bit too eager to strike, didn't i already told you to try and break my defense before making a big move?"
"I did! but you're just too fast!"
"fast or not don't eagerly jump in, if you're fighting another human you must first judge his skills, this time im much more experienced compared to you, that means defense isn't likely to work, that's why you'll try to use your strengths, erm.... you actually don't have any strengths or specialty... oh well i'll just teach you how to fight an equal opponent. "
Eara pouted at her sister before they once again spared.
" at the beginning of a fight, its better to use small and quick moves first, try and break his defense or create an opening for you to attack, it is also best to create fake opening while being careful not to fall for the enemies fake ones. If he's an amateur fighter he'll probably attack first with large and big moves, but if he's somewhat experienced he'll probably either defend first and counter attack or attack first by breaking your defense... "
While sparing, Yulis would impart her knowledges to Eara while demonstrating said knowledge before letting Eara apply said skills.
" sis how do you break someone's defense? "
" it depends, defense in combat varies, wether its his ability to parry, deflect, break, dodge or move away, breaking their defense usually tends to happen when they are forced into a position where they can't do any of those things. For example, if i were to strike and lower both of your hands you still have the ability to dodge or move away in order to recover, however if im fast enough to smack you in your exposed booty while your retreating or if i gain an advantage by pressing you in the wall then you no longer have the ability to defend"
"what happens then?"
"while getting smacked, try to find a chance to parry or counter, if the opponent is starting to launch his attacks there's usually some times where he exposes himself momentarily, take that chance break free.
" and finally, fighting humans and monsters are two different things, monsters usually relies on their instincts and their superior strength and speed while humans fight by trying to outwit their opponents. There's also group fight where you'll be forced to fight multiple enemies, but that's for next time. welp let's have lunch! "
" but sis im not hungry yet, we still haven't fought seriously yet! "Eara really wanted to apply her skills on a serious fight, unfortunately Yulis won't fight her seriously.
Yulis on the other hand was reluctant to strike her sister, her heart just won't make out it alive of she accidentally hurt her sister.
" no buts, you'll just have to apply those skills in game."
"awwww.….."
The third floor cafeteria looked somewhat luxurious, though they could order their food in their room, Yulis wanted a change of scenery.
There weren't any lines and there weren't that much people in the cafeteria either, the food arrives from the other building where it was cooked so the two had to wait in the table next to a glass window.
While the two was chatting about, a guy in blonde hair approached the two.
"Yo brats! think a door would save your asses after disrespecting me!" the blonde guy spoke in a loud and still annoying voice.
Yulis was about to strike the guy in the neck when she realised something.
"perfect timing! Eara, practice on him, try to knock him down as fast as you can." Yulis said while pointing at the blonde guy.
"huh?" the guy was speechless as he stared at a girl half his size stare at him as if she's taken pity at him.
"are you sure it's okay to hurt people in broad daylight?" Eara seemed hesitant to bully some stranger that was a just bit rude.
"nah it's fine, we'll just tell the guards that he was harassing us." Yulis casually said while questioning her sister's words of choice.
"you bitch! wait till i kick your ass, you'll be sorry for disrespecting me the- guhhh!"
A quick jab from below stopped his annoying voice befor he held his jaws. Looking down he saw the small girl who seemed to have the eyes of a murderer.
"what did you call my sister?...." A growling voice could be heard from Eara as if a demon suddenly possessed her.
"b-bi-"
Eara quickly moved forward but her punch was blocked by his hands.
"you're fucking dead!"
The guy tried to stomp at Eara's leg but she was quick enough to move back before counter attacking by sending a slap at his face. Unprepared the guy's head twisted to the right.
Shaking in anger he finally snapped.
"die!" The guy had enough and charged forward while holding both of his hands in front of him, attempting to strangle the girl who just slapped him.
Eara didn't flinch and charged forward aswell, as the two were about to collide, Eara slid to the right while holding her left foot forward tripping the charging blonde bull.
The guy fell forward and rolled towards a nearby table before crashing.
Yulis pretended to scream while urging her sister to do the same, Eara who was suprised and confused at the same time let out weak and confused scream.
A guard who heard the commotion rushed over to find a pair of shivering girls and a crushed table with a blonde man in the middle of it.
Yulis pulled her sister and with her most annoying teenager voice said."Help! help us! that man just tried to attack us! i-i think he wanted to do something to my little sister!"
Eara's eyebrows twitched as her sister began hugging her while squeezing her head in her chest.
The guard looked at the pair of scared girl and to the blonde guy that looked like a delinquent before calling for someone to his radio and marching up towards the guy who was still dizzy after hitting his head on the table and handcuffing him.
The day ended weirdly as the manager apologized and asked the two to not spread the news about what happened at the gym, the guy was banned and promptly kicked off the gym while the pair received several coupons and other incentives.
