This Position Is Truly A Bit Troublesome

In the evening, Ju Ji and Kikyo began their martial arts training as usual.

This seemed to have become a mandatory task for the two of them. For Kikyo and Ju Ji, it was also a great way to vent. Playing roles they weren't accustomed to had caused both of them to accumulate quite a bit of stress.

"Your movements have improved quite a bit compared to before, but it's still too early for you to hit me. Hey, didn't we agree not to aim for the face? That's a foul."

"Sorry, I just couldn't help but want to hit it when I saw this face... Tch!"

Kikyo, please don't say things like that with such a cute expression. It doesn't fit your little angel persona at all, even though you switched to a little devil state at the very end.

It seemed that Kikyo truly possessed unexpected talent for martial arts. At this moment, Ju Ji had to use fifty percent of his strength just to barely suppress her. He believed that it wouldn't be long before Ju Ji would be the one being pinned down by her.

This made it hard for him to accept the reality; it had only been less than two days. As expected, there was a massive chasm between him and a genius. If it weren't for the fact that he still had his cheat, he would have truly fallen into despair.

"Kikyo, can you tell me the reason why you're so focused on martial arts? You didn't seem interested in it before."

"I'm actually enjoying the process now. Besides, I have a reason why I must become stronger. As for what it is... it's a secret."

Even if Kikyo had the corresponding talent for martial arts, it would all be for nothing if she didn't put in the effort. Furthermore, she hadn't just been training mindlessly these past few days; she had been pouring a certain will into it, which was why she had progressed so quickly.

However, it was a foul for Kikyo to make such a cute expression during training. Even Ju Ji was momentarily distracted, and Kikyo seized the opportunity to throw him to the ground and pin him down by his waist.

"I lost this time. Let's call it a day for today's training. Kikyo, please get off me."

The two of them had been training for nearly two hours by now, and their stamina was starting to run dry. Otherwise, even if Ju Ji had been distracted, he wouldn't have been unable to react.

The most critical part was that their current situation was truly a bit precarious. The soft sensation coming from her body made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

"What are you saying, Ju Ji? Isn't the good part just beginning... Hey, you had a lot of fun with Horikita today, didn't you? So, you'll have to pay me back with your body tonight."

Kikyo maintained her position and leaned down. Her upper body was pressed tightly against Ju Ji's chest, and their faces were less than an inch apart. At this distance, Kikyo's exquisite and cute face was laid bare for Ju Ji to see.

That was why Ju Ji could see the playfulness hidden in her devil-like cold eyes; it was truly a wicked sense of humor.

This was very bad for his heart; he could clearly feel his heartbeat accelerating. This kind of joke shouldn't be played. If he kept being teased by this little devil, he wasn't sure if he could keep his sanity.

"Kikyo? Don't... don't joke around. We have class tomorrow... What will happen if we stay up late and oversleep?"

It was already nearing eleven o'clock. After a busy day, Ju Ji's body and mind were extremely exhausted.

"Don't worry, I'll come to wake you up tomorrow."

Kikyo rose slightly and pulled a key with his room number written on it from her chest. But Ju Ji knew very well that the key was currently on his own person, so this was a spare.

"When did you get that?"

"The day you lent me your jacket, of course. If you want it, why don't you come and take it yourself?"

A playful smile appeared on Kikyo's face as she put the key back where it was.

Go and take it himself? As soon as that thought appeared in his mind, Ju Ji felt his mouth go dry and couldn't help but swallow. Although his reason told him it was best not to do so, his heart wanted to give it a try.

Without realizing it, Ju Ji's right hand was slowly moving toward the target. He didn't even notice it himself.

"Ah, you're so slow... I'm bored, let's stop here for today. See you tomorrow, Ju Ji... Hmph!"

Just as he was about to succeed, Kikyo stood up and left his body. Before leaving, she even gave him the middle finger, leaving him with a sense of loss.

This made Ju Ji feel both angry and amused, but he quietly let out a sigh of relief in his heart. If things had continued, there would have been no way to end it. Ju Ji looked at the tent pitched beneath him and sighed slightly.

Kikyo was truly a little devil in every sense of the word. Fortunately, he still had important treasures under his bed; now was the time for them to make an appearance.

Not long after, Ju Ji dragged his exhausted body into dreamland. Ever since arriving at this school, he felt like there hadn't been a single day where he wasn't tired.

"Ju Ji, time to wake up. Otherwise, I'm going to play a prank."

In his hazy consciousness, Ju Ji seemed to hear the little devil's voice. At the same time, he felt a smooth sensation on his face, as if something silky was rubbing against his skin.

"Hey, I said, Miss Kikyo. I'm very happy that you came to wake me up, but could you please not touch my face with your feet?"

"Huh? Isn't this what you guys like?"

Admittedly, some men would be happy about this and cheer for beautiful feet. But unfortunately, Ju Ji was not a masochist, and he didn't have a special fetish for feet. He wouldn't feel pleasure from this. [Also, could you please stop poking my face with your foot.]

"Ah~, what are you doing?"

"Nothing much, just moving someone's mischievous, smelly foot away. And don't disturb me while I'm changing; I'm going to be late. Besides, coming to my room early in the morning, aren't you afraid that our classmates will misunderstand?"

After moving away Kikyo's right foot, which was clad in a white silk stocking, Ju Ji began to quickly change into his uniform and wash up. He knew it was best not to continue entangling himself with Kikyo; otherwise, he would definitely fall into her trap. Well, people who play tactics have dirty hearts.

"Misunderstand what? That you and I are in a romantic relationship... Does Ju Ji hate being misunderstood like that?... No, just kidding. Aren't we best friends? I wouldn't mind a little misunderstanding like that.

Of course, compared to that, they would more likely think that I have some dirt on you."

Kikyo was right. If someone saw her leaving Ju Ji's room, their first reaction would definitely be that she was being threatened by him. Then, he would be sanctioned by his classmates.

"Since you know that, could you please hurry up and leave? Please spare this little life of mine."

Kikyo was already like an idol to the whole class; Ju Ji couldn't imagine if he would even survive until he ascended to Class A. Because the two of them called each other by their first names, he had already felt many boys shooting stinging glares at him.

"Kikyo, you're actually coming out of Shinomiya's room. That's quite rare."

At Ju Ji's desperate request, Kikyo followed his advice and went out first. However, he heard a voice he completely didn't want to hear, a voice devoid of any emotion.

It was Ayanokoji, who lived two doors down. Ju Ji was now starting to consider whether he should kill him to silence him.

"Good morning, Ayanokoji-kun. Ju Ji lost something, and I was just helping him look for it."

"Is that so? I thought you two were already close enough to be sharing a room."

"How could that be? That's impossible. We're just friends."

"Well, let's just say it's like that."

Although the excuse Kikyo made up on the spot was a bit clumsy, Ayanokoji seemed to have believed it...
