*Ringing*.... A loud noise rang out throughout the school building.
"Alright, that's enough for today, students. Don't forget to do your homework because tomorrow is an annual holiday, so we assign a lot of homework. There will be no class but there will still be special classrooms available to provide additional professional advice. Anyone who is interested can come to meet us at the auditorium building." Professor Celestial said.
"There's quite a lot of homework." Mania said with concern.
"It's not much. We will finish them all tonight and then I will have time for rest and further research tomorrow. Before this weekend, I plan to study Advanced Magic class with Professor Kiros, and I've heard that his teaching class is very difficult, and I need to recover my energy before this class." Beatrix said.
"Tonight, we are helping each other to finish our homework. Then we'll have a free day tomorrow." Mariel said.
"Ok!" the others immediately replied.
After finishing eating lunch at the girl's dormitory, it is the time to join clubs or practice more magic skills. They prepare to go to their own clubs to learn their specific skills. Then they would meet again in the evening to do all their homework together.
"Which club are you going to do in this afternoon? Mariel." Beatrix asked.
"Today I think I'm going to join the exercise club. I want to practice my physical energy a little more." Mariel replied as she prepared women's exercise clothes and put them in her shoulder bag.
"Aren't you afraid of men coming in and flirting with you? There aren't usually many women joining this club." Mania asked with concern.
"I will show these guys who is the boss there!" Mariel replied with a confident look on her face.
"If you lose, it won't be good." Beatrix said.
"I can win against men. Don't worry." Mariel said with a smile.
Mariel separated from her friends and went to the exercise club building where are mostly groups of men exercising. As for the women, they could join this club only a few but Mariel wasn't afraid, otherwise, as soon as she arrived in front of the club, she immediately handed her student ID card and acceptance letter to the exercise club to the officer at the front door.
"You need to sign up for the exercise club. Are you sure?" The officer asked again to be sure because he didn't expect that there would be a female student applying to join this exercise club.
"Yes, I am. Is there a women's dressing room here?" Mariel asked.
"Yes, we have, and we are glad for welcoming you. If you have any questions, you can ask me anytime." the officer said as he returned the student ID card and acceptance slip.
"Thank you very much." Mariel took them back, put it in her shoulder bag and immediately opened the door to come inside there.
Mariel opened the door to enter the exercise club building. Senior Jack, who had been watching from the other side of the building, was shocked and did not expect her to join the club.
"Incredible! Mariel has come to join the exercise club." one of Senior Jack's henchmen said.
"She will become my wife, so beautiful, cute, and good-habited. She also cares about her health and appearance. I guess I'll have to apply here too." Senior Jack said with a feeling of gratitude.
"When did she become your… Ouch!" one of Senior Jack's henchmen hadn't even finished speaking before being hit by a vicious punch, hitting him in the head until his face immediately sunk into the ground.
"You don't have to speak! Anyway, my lovely Mariel must be my wife. Follow me, everyone." Senior Jack said as he walked ahead of the others and signed up for the exercise club as well.
Mariel opened the main door and came inside the club, many eyes staring at her.
The first, second, and third-year male students all looked at Mariel with surprised expressions. Many people began to gossip and stare at her beautiful body and appearance until they started to feel a little uncomfortable.
"Forget it, let's just change clothes and do my own personal exercise." Mariel said, ignoring the others. Then she walked into the changing room for female students in another corner of the room. After changing into tight black exercise clothes, she immediately went out to exercise with the punching bag that was in one corner of the room.
"Look at that little girl. Is she going to kick it?" all men began to tease because they didn't think that this female student could kick this punching bag as well as the men.
Mariel didn't care about what the men talking behind her back. She prepared herself, spun around and kicked into the center of the punching bag.
The sound of Mariel's kick was loud. This caused the punching bag to vibrate until the chest of it collapsed in front of everyone. All men were shocked because they didn't expect her to have such kicking power like this.
"Well, you guys are shocked, Lol." Mariel smiled and showed off her continuous kicks for all men to see.
The sound of Mariel's kicking the punching bag caught the eyes of many people until some of them couldn't take it anymore.
"Would you mind if I be your training partner? little girl." A second-year senior man immediately offered himself, smiling with white teeth in front of Mariel's eyes.
"Are you sure about this?" Mariel asked with concern. The woman's scent and the sweat that covered her entire body made the men in the area tremble and they almost couldn't resist it.
"Yes, I am. Little girl." He said and put the Punching Mitts in both hands and prepared himself to receive Mariel's kick without fear.
"So, let's get started, brother." Mariel said by kicking in with full force.
"Ouch!!!" Senior man suddenly floated and stumbled back several steps. His arms that were wearing the Punching Mitts were trembling and had red marks on them. It indicated the power of Mariel's kick very well.
"What a powerful kick!" The senior men almost all turned pale. Senior Jack who had just finished getting dressed and came out of the male school uniform changing room were all standing in shock with his henchmen too.
"Is there anyone else who will be my sparring partner? If not, I'd like to continue training alone." Mariel shouted as she looked around and saw that no one else had offered to be a training partner. So, she prepared to go back to practicing by herself alone.
"Don't make a fuss!" A tall man's voice sounded from not too far away. This guy is normal looking, with a big nose and thick eyebrows, but he had a large body and a lot of muscles. He is about 2 meters tall and taller than everyone in this exercise room.
Mariel was shocked while looking at this guy. She could only look up and stare at the other's eyes that were looking down at her as well.
"This is not a place for women to show their power. If you want to exercise, just follow the rules, and don't have to charm men too much!" this guy said.
"Senior Ken, calm down. My lovely Mariel, she didn't mean to do that." Senior Jack immediately came in and spoke.
"Mariel?" Senior Ken stared at Mariel from head to toe and thought of a plan in his mind.
"If there's nothing else, then I'd like to get back to practicing," Mariel said.
"Wait a minute, you want a sparring partner, right? I'm in!" Senior Ken said as he walked towards Mariel to the small stage at the top of the club room which was a large quilt spread out just enough for couple's practice.
They walked onto the stage, a small barrier appeared, covering them inside, preventing others from being able to enter inside.
"Let's fight one on one. I want to know how good you are." Senior Ken challenged her.
"How can I compete with Senior Ken?" Mariel asked.
"You were still showing off a while ago." Senior Ken said with a contemptuous expression.
"Ok! We'll see about this." Mariel's was angry and she immediately accepted this challenge.
"If you win, I will obey everything you. Just tell me. But if I win, you will have to accept any request that I tell you. Got it?" Senior Ken said defiantly with an offer that was hard to refuse.
"Agreed!" Mariel responded immediately, confident that she could win.
*Smash! * *Smash! *
The sounds of punches and kicks collided with both sides without anyone giving in. Although Senior Ken's body was much taller, he was stronger than Mariel, who was smaller but more agile than him.
"Ouch!" Senior Ken cried out and held his stomach because of Mariel's punch.
"Do you give up? Senior Ken." Mariel said, retreating to another corner of the stage.
"No way!" Senior Ken immediately felt excited because this girl is more talented than he thought.
"Ouch!" This time, Mariel made a complete mistake because she received the kick with full force and her body staggered back quite a bit. Then she was hit in her stomach by a punch and almost collapsed to the ground.
"This punch is for you, little girl." Senior Ken said.
"It's not over yet!" Mariel said and stood again, then she fought against Senior Ken without fear.
They threw punches and kicks at each other with no one giving in anymore. Their bodies began to swell and there were obvious bruises. The other people outside the stage were all cheering them on.
"You can do it! My lovely Mariel. Otherwise, I wouldn't be your first boyfriend." Senior Jack said while sending encouragement to her.
"Go for it! Mariel." Senior Jack's henchmen shouted in unison. As for the others, they also gave their support to them too.
The sound of breathing with tiredness from these 2 people who had wounds all over their bodies. The eyes of Mariel and Senior Ken were such that neither one wanted to be defeated.
(I definitely won't give up. If I lose to him, he will ask for something inappropriate, my life in a woman's body would end for sure.) (Chai thinking)
Mariel thought to herself and gathered all her strength and rushed towards Senior Ken who also defended with his remaining strength too.
Their hands touched each other and measured their strength until the veins bulged all over their face and arms noticeably. Sweat flowed from their body without stopping. Her strength gradually began to decrease. From this point, Mariel was clearly at a disadvantage.
Senior Ken used his power to push Mariel away from his palms until she lost control, then he rushed forward and hugged Mariel's body, preventing his opponent from being able to move away.
"Ah!!!" Mariel cried out in pain from being hugged so tightly by Senior Ken that her body was almost squeezed to pieces.
"Just give up! little girl, ouch!!!" Senior Ken said as he was hit on the chin by Mariel's head, causing her to be freed immediately.
Blood flowing from Senior Ken's mouth until it dripped onto the floor. He looked at Mariel with anger.
"If I can't defeat you then I won't use this name Ken anymore!" Senior Ken went berserk and rushed at Mariel with all his might.
"I won't lose to you!" Mariel said, preparing for this final attack carefully.
*Smash!!!!*
The sound of two physical energies clashing with each other full force until it was loud throughout the area until it created a cloud of dust and smoke. The people standing outside the stage couldn't clearly see what the results were inside.
until....
In front of everyone, Mariel collapsed onto the stage floor and Senior Ken, he was kneeling and panting heavily from extreme exhaustion.
"I won!" Senior Ken gathered what little strength he had left and raised his fist above his head in satisfaction. He slowly walked towards Mariel with great satisfaction.
The sound of the people crying loudly, feeling sorry that it wasn't them who were winners. Senior Jack was brought to tears with extreme sorrow.
"No! My lovely Mariel, that's not true!" Senior Jack shouted.
Mariel slowly opened her eyes and Senior Ken was standing in front of her. She immediately felt frightened because she was lost to him, some strange thoughts kept appearing in her head.
"I've lost. What should I do? I couldn't accept this challenge."
"Is Senior Ken going to ask me for something inappropriate? Just thinking about it and I felt scary."
"Can I still negotiate? Will he forgive me?"
Mariel slowly raised herself to a sitting position and knelt, bowing in sorrow along with begging Senior Ken about the promise.
"I'm so sorry about this. Please! Senior Ken. I'm begging you. I'm willing to do everything except...." Mariel said in despair.
Senior Ken didn't say anything. Instead, he stood staring at Mariel with strange eyes and immediately walked in and stopped in front of her at a close distance.
Horrifying images flashed through Mariel's head nonstop until tears began to flow.
"What should I do? I haven't had any experience with the opposite sex since I was born. Even in my past life, I never had any girlfriend. Why did I have to encounter something like this?" Mariel said in a trembling voice.
Senior Ken knelt in front of her and took a deep breath as if he was about to make a request with an excited expression on his face.
"Please! I'm sorry! Please don't do anything to me." Mariel said, covering her face in extreme fear.
"Mariel, would you be able to go on a date with me?" Senior Ken said with embarrassment, then it made everyone shocked.
"What?" Mariel was shocked.
"What???" Senior Jack and the others were also shocked because they didn't think that Senior Ken would just ask for this.
The atmosphere around them was completely cold. Mariel felt this but didn't expect to be asked out on a date with a guy.
(What should I do? I have to go on a date with a big, muscular Senior Ken. It's not true!) (Mariel thought in her mind with regret)
