22 Trouble Brewing (1/2)

Nolen School C, field

”Misae, can't you focus on the lesson?” Kanae looked towards her friend with a helpless expression.

”But, he's there,” Misae pouted.

The one her best friend meant was their school student council president, Kevin Kalin. He was currently standing near the teacher with one student near him. The teacher has said before that they came to take a look for the potential first year to join the student council. This made a lot of students grew excited and did their best to perform.

Aside from that, the teacher also mentioned those whom he remembered. As the teacher, he knew some of them who were the best, so he could give some recommendation to this person.

”If you want to get chosen, you better move and practice.”

Misae pouted. ”And show him how clumsy I am? I better off trying to watch him rather than doing them.”

Kanae sighed. She turned her gaze towards Alice, but the latter only shook her head slightly. Facing the stubborn Misae, there was nothing they could do to make her move. The two of them have finished their warm up while Misae barely started them.

”Let's just correct your form,” Kanae said to Alice.

Alice nodded her head. Usually, Kanae would not practice any martial arts, but being seen to run around the field during the class was also not good. This was not PE, so she could just use this chance to train Alice.

”Try to attack me,” Kanae said after a while.

”Are you sure?” Alice asked doubtfully.

”Well, just follow my order. Right punch,” Kanae started.

Alice followed Kanae's instruction and punched using the movement they were taught. Kanae moved to the side and tapped the upper part of the punch.

”You're too high. This punch is unstable, so you need to move it a bit lower.”

”Ah, okay.”

Having Kanae taught her, Alice finally understood why Kanae didn't bother learning with them. She was basically an expert in this field as she kept on correcting the basic posture Alice had. After quite some time, they took a rest because Alice couldn't maintain the stance.

”Misae, want to learn now?”

”Fine,” Misae reluctantly moved.

After seeing how Kanae taught Alice, she was interested as well. Finishing her warm up, she tried attacking Kanae. Compared with Alice, her basic foundation was far better, but she was extremely slow and couldn't last long. Even her stance was correct, but there was barely any stamina.

”I think what you need is running to increase your stamina,” Kanae concluded after a while. She barely corrected any of the stances.

Misae frowned. ”I hate running.”

She has done all she could to avoid that training, so she didn't want to pull herself to train in running anymore. They were too tiring for her and she couldn't bear to do them anymore.

Alice laughed slightly. ”I have to practice running a bit every day since young.”

”Are you joking?”

”No, I have a weak body when I'm still a kid, so I can only train in running.”
