After the removal of Yuri, the literature club became much more welcoming and peaceful. Natsuki and Sayori were talking, but Monika interrupted them. "You know Natsuki, you really do feel like a member of this club, am I right?". "I suppose, what are you trying to say?", said Natsuki. "Well, there is one thing that all new members must do before they're officially enrolled". "And that is the training sessions". Natsuki was puzzled, but Sayori looked thrilled. "Yay I love the training sessions, they're so fun to do and they improve your overall physical strength". "What do you mean by sessions?", said Natsuki. "What I mean is we participate in physical activities that help improve our overall strength". "Not to brag or anything, but I think I'm the strongest Doki in here". "You just say that because you're the oldest, Mon", Sayori said playfully. "But Monika is pretty freaking tough, she's never been in a fight, but I think it's because all the others are scared of her". Natsuki laughed, but Monika was still boastful. "Who said that age had anything to do with strength, after all age is just a number". Then she looked at the girls and saw the looks on their faces and said, "Uh you know what I mean, y'all are just dirty. minded". Natsuki had a bright idea. "You know Monika, I respect you and all but I think I'm the strongest around here". Monika chuckled, "You, stronger than me, never in a million years, you might have the temper, but you don't have any experience". Well, let's make a deal", said Natsuki. "If I prove that I'm stronger than you, you have to tell everyone that I was stronger than you". "Oh you're on, little Doki", said Monika. "Everyone to the gym!", Monika ordered. The first challenge was to see who could lift more. Sayori was the coach, and only agreed so that she could blow the whistle, sometimes a little too much. Monika was wearing just a tank top with sweatpants, Natsuki stayed in uniform however, to show that she could do this without changing clothes. Monika started with two dumbbells, then four, six, and eight. Each of them weighed about 5 pounds. "Try to beat that", said Monika. So Natsuki lifted two, then four, six, and eight before getting tired. "That's a tie, which means no one gets any points", said Sayori while blowing her whistle joyfully. The second challenge was to see who could do the most push ups before getting tired. "Natsuki, I know you have skinny arms, which means you'll probably get tired before me". She was right because after 20 or so push ups, Natsuki was sweating bullets. "So by decision, Monika wins because she did more push ups". Monika looked at Natsuki and said, "Just checking to see if you're alright". "No, I'm fine, just a little tired, that's all", said the exhausted Doki. "Now since we don't have much time left, we have to skip to the final challenge! Sayori said pretty imposingly. "What's the final challenge?", the trembling Doki said. "Each of you will have to try to lift up 2 people while squatting". "That's impossible!" Natsuki said. Monika thought of a way to win. "You know, Natsuki, to give you some time to rest, you don't have to lift anybody". "Oh thank goodness", Natsuki sighed with relief. "Because I'll be lifting both you and Sayori!". "Huh, now this I gotta see". So Monika picked up the two girls, and all was going well until Monika started to wobble and suddenly, a sharp pain came from her right leg. And she fell down, dropping the girls. "Are you ok, Monika?!" Sayori said. "Yeah, it's good. just a little leg pain, that's all". "Nuh uh, no excuses, I'm taking you to the nurse immediately!". Natsuki was disappointed because she thought that she might get kicked out again for hurting Monika. Once Monika came back into the class, Natsuki approached her. "Monika, I'm sorry for making you have a muscle spasm, my stupidity got the best of me, and I just wanted to apologize, are we still friends?" "Of course, Natsukil", smiled Monika. "You don't need toapologize, it was my boastful attitude that got the best of me". So Natsuki and Sayori agreed to help Monika with any work she had while she was recovering, and also because if they didn't, she might make them do more sessions, especially Natsuki.
