Intramurals

Chapter 6

I am now looking at three men with bruises on their faces but they look okay. I smile at them as they also smile at me but also grin later when their wound hurts.

I smiled at our Vice President. I was about to speak when it stopped me so I just kept my mouth shut but I really couldn't control myself.

"I'm really sorry. It looks like I beat up your colleagues too much." I smiled before I glanced at them.

I heard a giggle but the three of them just stared at me.

"It's okay, it was still part of the initiations. You don't have to feel bad. Anyway, I'm Freya Connor. The Vice President of this club. And as you can see, the President isn't here but he 'll show up anytime soon. And these three are one of the seniors, they will be the one who'll help you for trainings. They're Rex, Michael, and Sandro. And they're the other members of this club. They're Duxe, Elena, Tristan, Craxe, and Alona. " The Vice President introduced them all.

They waved at me and I just smiled at them. After a while, Vice said goodbye and I approached the three but they just backed away causing the people sitting behind me to laugh, so the three of them looked at them but they just frowned.

I took the first aid kit. Even if it's just this way, I can help. Earlier, their other wounds could not be healed.

They would have objected but I did not let them.

"Let me."

They couldn't lie down and just let me go. I treated Rex first. After I treated Rex, I followed Michael and finally Sandro.

"Thanks." Sandro's behavior after I treated it. I smiled at it and returned to its previous position.

Then I sat down again where I had sat before. Everyone was quiet before Rex spoke.

"Where did you learn to fight?" Its question suddenly.

I smiled at the question.

"Street fight." I answer reason to surprise them.

"Are you joining there?" Its a question that seems to have become interested.

I nodded.

"Because I was driven home then so I thought of walking on the road even at midnight and because I'm used to being on guard so just go. Dad doesn't stop me as long as I'm always careful so that's why, while walking on the road I noticed an alley. I saw a child enter there so I followed it and at the very end there were people shouting. Betting on who they hit and then the one inside a railing that divides the player and Honestly, I have no intention of joining the case, I fell in love with the man who had been bragging about his face without being pulled so when I was annoyed, I cursed him and challenged him. So that's when I started learning to fight, the others My tactic I just watched on YouTube. And because of my high pain tolerance I lasted inside that railing for 24 hours. When I came home, I had some money I had won but todo sermon a when I handed it to Dad when I got home. But even so, I still come back there. If I want to be beaten, if I need money and if I'm angry. "I told a story.

"That's .... Unbelievable, did you manage to fight like that?" Michael still wondered.

"Maybe it's in our blood too. Dad is also good at fighting even at this age." I am proud of my father.

It's true, I even saw him then fight with drunks who were abused by ale, so he received bruises and scars on his face. The faces are already ugly, they are even more disfigured because of the bruises.

"Wow, no wonder you're that great. I don't think you need practice anymore and you can be trained right away." Suggested by Rex.

My eyes immediately lit up.

"Can I ?!" I'm excited to ask here.

"No."

I turned to the person who answered from behind me. I was still standing when I saw it.

Brother Light.

He walked towards us and the Vice President was with him. Rex and the other members also stood. Wait, what is he doing here?

"President." Rex greeted him which surprised me.

President? Here? Or President as a student council?

When he turned to me, my forehead was still furrowed.

"Seems like you're confused. So let me introduce myself to you. I'm Light Zero Rodhan Vanstone. 21 years old, graduating student, taking business management and the President of Martial Arts Club." He introduced himself and then held out his hand to me.

I accepted it and was the next to introduce myself.

"Alistair Blue Lopez. 18 years old. A scholar who knows how to punch some jerks face." Let me introduce myself here as well.

Those who heard my introduction laughed. The President smiled a little but his serious face returned immediately. After the introduction, he made us sit on the floor, which we immediately obeyed.

"As you can see, there are only a few of us because only a few have passed the initiations made by Vice and starting today, you'll be officially part of the Martial Arts Club. And let me tell you this, there are things that you need to consider, one is I don't tolerate late comers, I need you all to be cooperative and always help here, I also don't want you to wander around often especially if there is no good reason. Don't hurt your co-members or else you will face consequences. Once you violated my rules, I won't hesitate to kick you out of this Club .... Literally. " Its a serious promise.

We nodded at what he said. He's really strict and I can say he can obey and handle his group mates. He doesn't seem to be difficult to approach. It's just like Damian, rude but talkative.

After some instructions, Kuya Light entered the office. I, on the other hand, just lay on the floor while Vice waited to see if anyone would order it.

I got up and arranged to sit on the floor when I saw Pres come out of his office then he walked to the front. It looks like someone will say this again.

"By the way, since there will be no class tomorrow, you must go here first thing in the morning. The Intramurals will start last week of this month until next month. Our goal here is for you to learn and for you us to achieve the main goal and that is the championship. I want you to be attentive all the time. " Pres seriously promised that we would nod immediately.

It was only after saying that that our real practice began.

***

I leaned against the wall then took a deep breath. I'm too tired, I feel a little pain but I can handle it but I'm really too tired. It's brutal to practice, especially for me. The three eggs seem to be retaliating against me for what I did earlier. Hmm, they're okay too. But it's okay, it also helped me a lot and increased my knowledge about fighting.

I looked up at the person who handed me a mineral water. When I saw who it was I immediately took it then I thanked it. I opened the bottle and knocked over it. I felt it sitting next to me while also holding mineral water that it looked like it had already run out. Nothing is as empty.

"To tell you, you're one of the strongest even though you still lacking but I can say that you'll be great. But, it looks like you're holding back. Why is that?" Question it.

Did Pres also notice my restraint?

Honestly, I didn't want to hold back but I remembered what happened then. And I don't want to repeat that so I completely stopped what I did before.

I sighed before answering Pres.

"Honestly, that's one of the things I'm afraid of. I don't want to hold back but every time I remember what I did when I couldn't control myself, I couldn't help but hold back. I knew in myself that I could do them but someone was holding back And maybe, I did the right thing by holding back because I also don't want to hurt other people. " I explain here.

"I know why, you can't control yourself when your emotion excess to its limit. Especially if you feel very angry. I once experience that, that's why I train myself to be always calm and collective. On that way, I can't hurt someone. " Its promise.

I looked at it.

"Do you mean, I also need to be serious so that emotions don't completely take over my whole being?" I wonder here.

Because in that case, I will start to practice seriously.

I heard its laughter.

"That's not what I meant, I'm saying is, you should know how to control your emotions. Don't let those emotions surpass you and make sure you're still using your mind, you're not just using your emotions. When you use your heart to decide, use your mindset too, balance it. It's not hard. " Explaining this then he stood up and smiled at me.

"I hope I see the best that you have on the competition." His last words before he left me.

I smiled when I understood everything he said. Brother Light is really something.

After a while, Pres dismissed us and we will come back here again tomorrow to continue our rehearsals.

"Be careful when you go home." Vice's note.

We nodded before we left the Martial Arts Club. When I got out of there, I was surprised to see Damian leaning against the wall right in front of the door of our club. When he saw me, he straightened up and approached me.

Wait, what is this one doing here?

"Don't think too much, my brother just ordered me to pick you up." Its cold droning before it started walking.

I just followed it. Nothing will happen if I stick to it. And one more thing, I'm tired now so I don't want to fight with him now.

We arrived at the field where I once hung out. I also ate here then. Wait, what are we doing here?

When we got there, we sat on the grassy part where Dianne and I were. I leaned over Dianne.

"How's the club you joined?" My question here?

"Hmm, it's okay. I just don't like the other members there, they're so annoying and b*tches." Dianne kept her promise.

I laughed.

"Just leave them alone. There's nothing good to do if you hit them." I promised he would agree immediately.

"I heard that Kuya Light is the President of Martial Arts Club, so .. How are you?" Dianne asked excitedly.

"Hmm, it's okay. He's serious but he's not hard to approach. And serious! He was great before!" I smiled as I thought about what we had done before.

Kuya Light also sparred with Rex and in just a few minutes he quickly defeated him but their fight was worth watching.

What's that hah? The size of the smile oh!" Chace's teasing.

I covered it with weeds that I pulled out but just avoided it and continued to tease me. We just stopped when we heard Damian squeal. When we looked at it, it looked bad on us, especially on me. Problem with it?

"Tsk. I'll be leaving." It was a cold goodbye and before it finally left, Chace glared at us before it finally left.

"Sometimes your brother also has a , eh no!" I said and pointed to what Damian had gone through.

He laughed because of what I said but later he also smiled while looking at me. My forehead furrowed because of his reaction.

What makes it smile?

"Why?" I ask here.

"Nothing, we just noticed something." Smiling Dianne said.

I just nodded and ignored it and said goodbye to go home.

It's been a few weeks since our rehearsal started. We keep rehearsing. I was even happy when I was one of those who would be there to fight so I really practiced what I did. And just like the President taught me, I balance my mind and emotions every time we start fighting which really helped me a lot. And I can say that what the President said to me really helped me a lot. As for Dianne and Damian, we became even closer and they were like my troops. But sometimes Damian and I still get upset that it doesn't seem like we can stop anymore. But it's okay, I can talk politely sometimes. Hahaha

Today is the start of Intramurals so I am now preparing to leave. I am carrying what I will wear later in the fight given to me by the President and I can say that it is well made. I will also do so next time in case I am given a salary. Hmm.

After I arranged and checked everything I was going to bring I left the room and went to the kitchen where I saw Dad who had just finished preparing something for us to eat. I immediately sat down in my seat and started eating.

"Today isn't the beginning of your Intrams?" Dad's start.

I looked at Dad and then nodded. Eh because I can't speak especially and my mouth is still full.

"Be careful. Maybe when you come home, your face will be full of arrogance. It's not good to look especially since you're still a woman." Dad's reminder.

Dad knew that I joined the Martial Arts Club, because I also needed my parents' consent to fight Intrams and Dad didn't object. And Dad just reminded me to be careful there, especially with my face. Haha

I swallowed what I was eating then I drank water before I answered Dad.

"Dad, don't worry, this son of yours is even stronger than the buffalo! And I'll make sure my opponent is my container of bangas." I'm proud.

Dad just shook his head at what I was saying.

"Consume that and you might get caught." Dad's last words.

I saluted it before I finished eating it. I said goodbye to Dad when I finished eating the food and then I left the house. When I left, Noel met me immediately.

"What's in your bag? I guess it's the size?" He asked in surprise and then glanced at it.

I'm really carrying a big bag today. Because it won't fit if I use my small bag and if I force it, it might break even if I lose the bag.

"My clothes I'll wear later." I answer here.

He nodded and then saluted.

"Do your best!" Its promise.

I just smiled at it and continued walking. Just a few minutes later, I was on the Bus so I immediately took my place. It only took me a few minutes before I got to school.

I was even shocked when I saw that there were also outsiders coming inside. To maybe watch or maybe support their classmates. I just ignored them and walked to the Martial Arts Club. When I arrived there, the others were already there.

The morning seems to be theirs.

I dropped my bag on the floor to make a noise and then Elena looked at me and then they approached me.

"Good morning Blue." Elena greeted me while smiling.

I also smiled at it publicly and greeted it as well. The same goes for the others I'm with here. Our story stopped when the President came in with Vice and the three trainers. When he saw that we were complete, he made us sit down, which we immediately obeyed. Then Pres.

"As you know, today is the first day of the Intramurals. We have four Academy to battle with. First is the Star Cradle Academy, second is the Rayeville Academy, Third will be the Cross High and lastly the Benedict Academy. We need to win all the battle for us to got the chance to fight the undefeated champion. " President explains and as he says that the determination is obvious on its face.

We nodded at its reminder.

Then Duxe raised his hand.

"Now, all you need to do is to rest. Let your bodies rest first. No more rehearsals now, our first battle will be held this afternoon at exactly 3:00 and I want you all to be gathered here , understood? " Pres's order, which we immediately agreed to.

Then it will dismiss us. I got up and took my bag and put it in my locker.

While I was arranging my things there, my cp suddenly rang. When I saw Dianne calling, I immediately answered.

"Hello Dianne." I answer its call.

"Do you have a practice today?" Question it.

"Nothing, why?" I asked then I finished arranging what I will use later.

"Well, we're here on the field right now. We also don't have practice today, do you want to watch Damian's game?" Its offer.

Since our game was later, I agreed. I grabbed my bag where my briefcase was and then I went out. I said goodbye to them first before I left. When I came out I started walking towards the field. While walking I noticed another student who was not familiar to me. Maybe, these are students from another school. Of course, Intrams will be held here so the other students are here.

TO BE CONTINUED....
