Pure-Hearted Ibuki Mio, A Solo Girl at the Gym

She yelled angrily at Hoshino En, as if she would accuse him of indecent assault if he made a move.

And since this was on the street, her voice naturally attracted a group of onlookers who were unaware of the truth.

"Who is this guy, harassing a female classmate in broad daylight?"

"Yeah, that guy has absolutely no class."

"Huh? Isn't this the scumbag who publicly cheated on his girlfriend at that coffee shop on the first day of school?"

"Ugh, Akito's so handsome, but he's such a nasty person..."

Yi "..."

Once again, she was willingly drawn into the vortex, and the smile on Hoshino En's face vanished.

Oh, A-Sho, you actually used this trick to trick me too... Looks like you've gone bad too.

I need to teach you a lesson...

An indescribable black flame ignited in Qi's heart, but on the surface, Hoshino En did not show much anger, but instead sighed helplessly.

8. "Ibuki, don't overthink it. I think I told A- A-Sho why I was looking for you, didn't he tell you?"

Although she was very ashamed and angry, seeing Hoshino En's innocent look and the crowd pointing and whispering around her, Ibuki Mio seemed to realize something as well.

It seems she was used by Ryuen as a weapon against Hoshino En.

And... the results were pretty good??

Having figured this out, she gradually lowered her guard and felt a pang of guilt.

"Um, I'm sorry, but Ryuen really didn't say anything to me."

"He just told me to come to a designated place in the afternoon, without saying what I needed to do."

Chapter 82, Chapter 77: The Innocent Ibuki Mio, a Single Woman Solo at the Gym

"... Never mind, let's go inside and talk about it first."

Being pointed at and gossiped about outside wasn't a solution, so Hoshino En pointed to the gym next door and then went in first.

Ibuki Mio quickly followed.

Upon entering the gym, Hoshino En skillfully bypassed the public fitness area and arrived at a private gym.

He opened the door and led Ibuki Mio inside.

"Hoshino-kun, good evening...?"

Inside the room, Karuizawa Kei, who had been sitting in a chair waiting for a long time, turned around and stood up to greet them after hearing the door open. However, her voice stopped when she saw Ibuki Mio behind Hoshino En Enishi.

"This must be... Ibuki Mio from Class 1-C, right?"

As the boss of the [Empress Group], she specifically searched for information about the girls in Class C because the girls under her command often clashed with the Gal Group in Class C.

Among them, Shinobu Hiyori, who goes on dates with Hoshino En Noriyuki at the library every day Shiina Hiyori, and Ibuki Mio, a martial arts girl under Ryuzono Sho (the King of Class C), are her main targets of observation.

So, why is Ibuki following Hoshino-kun today?

"Hello."

Ibuki Mio, who followed Hoshino Yui Hoshino En, didn't have as many thoughts as Karuizawa Kei. She nodded to Karuizawa Kei as a greeting, and then her gaze drifted toward the private gym.

The walls are covered with soundproofing material, the equipment around is quite complete, and there's a large practice Matoba in the middle... The environment here is really nice!

Because her family owns a martial arts dojo, she is very sensitive to these things.

The conditions here are amazing!!

"This is charged by the hour, 3000 Private Points per hour."

Just as she was beginning to consider it, Hoshino En's explanation followed.

Ibuki Mio: "..."

Okay, it's a price she can't afford.

"However, there are discounts for monthly subscriptions. I subscribed from the 15th of last month to the end of this month, three hours every night, and it only cost me about 300,000 yuan in total."

Don't make 300,000 sound like a bargain! I can't afford that price either!

"Plus, if you subscribe for a month, the gym will provide a certain amount of food and energy drinks for free, which is a great deal!"

Do you think I care about that little bit of [benefits]?

And what, can you read minds?!

Ibuki Mio thought to herself, and suddenly lost interest in observing.

She stood in the corner of the gym, waiting, just as she always did when waiting for Ryuen Kakeru's command. #7∷8*∈...

"Huh? Are the prices here really that high?"

But upon hearing his explanation, Karuizawa Kei seemed to be learning about the prices here for the first time, and obvious worry immediately appeared on her face.

"Hoshino-kun, do you have enough points? Would you like me to lend you some?"

"When did I become so pathetic that I need to depend on you to survive? I definitely have the points. If you feel unworthy of them, then you should properly complete the tasks I've assigned you."

Hoshino En closed and locked the gate, and set up the camera next to the open space in the middle, with the lens capturing the entire area.

Then, he looked at Ibuki Mio, who was sitting in the corner, and pointed to the changing room inside.

"Ibuki, there are sports clothes inside, go change into them."

Then, he looked at Karuizawa Kei and said without any politeness.

"Karuizawa, go and Ibuki, consider it an exam."

Ibuki Mio, who was about to enter the changing room. "...?"

She stopped and turned to look at Karuizawa Kei.

She has a well-proportioned but slender figure, long hair that's inconvenient to wear, and her limbs aren't very muscular...

Hoshino En actually wants her to fight? Is she kidding?

"Hoshino, are you serious?"

But Hoshino En didn't reply to her; instead, she continued speaking to Karuizawa Kei.

"She's probably the best fighter among the first-year students. If you can beat her, then you've mastered this skill, and you won't need to spend your evenings training anymore."

"But after a month and a half of training, dealing with a mere Ibuki shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Of course! I guarantee she'll be sent flying sideways."

Ibuki Mio: "..."

Karuizawa Kei's answer made her face darken.

Although she wouldn't claim to be the strongest girl, she'd trained since childhood; how could she possibly be defeated by a beginner who'd only been training for a month and a half?

This woman is blatantly provoking us!

She needs to be taught a lesson!!!

So she strode confidently into the dressing room, slamming the door shut with a loud bang.

Hoshino En & Karuizawa Kei: "..."

"She's so naive; she fell for such an obvious attempt to provoke her."

"From what I've gathered, Ibuki is indeed a simple-minded girl with no guile. To be more precise—she's not very bright, and she's quite straightforward. Therefore, although Ryuen values her, she's not very popular among the girls in Class C." (So)

However, this [girls' group] in Class C did not accept Shiina Hiyori, and their quality remains to be seen.

"Unlike Horikita, she didn't have any intention of targeting anyone, so as long as you disregard those tedious social rules, she's quite easy to get along with."

"... But she's clearly angry right now, and she might not be able to control herself later, so be careful."

"Certainly!"

After that, Karuizawa Kei got into a fight with the furious Ibuki Mio, while Hoshino En Yui sat in the chair that Karuizawa Kei had been sitting in, watching the two women fight with great interest.

Although she was angry, Ibuki Mio's movements were not disrupted by her emotions; on the contrary, they became even faster, more precise, and ruthless. Her professionally trained movements were so swift that her opponent could hardly defend against them.

He's got great character. A-Sho must have been incredibly lucky to find such a subordinate.

Damn it, I want it so badly! The [Anti-Corner Special Attack] hoe is itching to get my hands on it.

Facing the swift and agile Ibuki Mio, Karuizawa Kei mainly relied on agile dodging, combined with occasional harassment. Although she did not cause any harm to Ibuki Mio, it was like a feather brushing against the sole of her foot, making her increasingly irritable.

As she grew more agitated, her movements became even sharper and more ferocious; as her movements became more ferocious, Karuizawa Kei had to expend more energy to dodge her attacks; when her attacks missed, she became even more agitated, and then she continued to escalate the intensity.

In such a situation of "Compound Interest Snowballing," either Ibuki Mio will first exhaust herself and reveal an opening, allowing Karuizawa Kei to defeat her with a single blow; or Karuizawa Kei will first exhaust herself and be hit, resulting in a complete loss.

And the result... how could Karuizawa Kei had only trained for a month and a half, possibly out-physically surpass Ibuki Mio?

After a while--

The blonde girl lay curled up on the ground, while the girl with short blue hair sat down heavily on the ground, panting.

jiu "Ha... ha..."

Although Ibuki Mio won, her stamina was almost completely depleted.

What's wrong with this guy, Bi?!

She was deeply shocked as she looked at Karuizawa Kei lying motionless on the ground.

In terms of fighting strength alone, Karuizawa Kei is only slightly stronger than those hot girls in Class C, but her speed is too exaggerated, like an eel, impossible to catch.

Moreover, it seemed that the opponent had specifically trained their flexibility to better dodge attacks, and had just performed many exaggerated movements that even she couldn't do.

However, in the end, she still won!

Ibuki Mio smiled excitedly.

This guy even said before that he wanted her to "go out sideways"... Now, who's actually going to "go out sideways"?

However, Ibuki Mio did not see any shame or embarrassment on Karuizawa Kei's face.

"Hoshino-kun ~"

The girl with a high golden ponytail stretched out her hands toward Hoshino En, who was sitting on a chair to the side, and made a muffled call.

Her actions resembled those of a baby asking for a hug.

Following her movement, Ibuki Mio looked at Hoshino En Yuuki, only to see him staring at the girl on the ground with a constipated expression.

"You can move it yourself, right?"

"I can't move... my whole body hurts so much..."

"Who told you to provoke Ibuki? She's one of A-Sho's people, her moral bottom line isn't as high as you think, she won't stop just because you yell 'time'."

"But... didn't Yuan stop it? She even cooperated and echoed it..."

His expression froze for a moment.

"Hoshino-kun ~ I came here in my gym clothes anyway, so just carry me back to the dorm~ I... I want to go to Hoshino-kun's room!!"

"Fine, I give up."

So, under Ibuki Mio's gaze, Hoshino En slowly picked up Karuizawa Kei was reaching out for a hug, and carried her in a princess carry, letting her head gently rest on her shoulder.

"Ibuki, there's a shower room inside the changing room. You can tidy yourself up now. We're leaving."

He said this to Ibuki Mio, who was still slumped on the ground and unlikely to recover anytime soon, then opened the door and left without looking back.

Transfer Group ★△￠: 74∏16907∮?80 Ibuki Mio: "..."

She relaxed her body, which she had been forcing herself to stand up, and lay down on the ground, face up, staring blankly at the ceiling illuminated by the lights.

I won, didn't I? Yes, right? I shouldn't be wrong, right?

But what exactly is this inexplicable feeling of frustration and grievance? My nose feels a little sore...

Outside, it was already late. Hoshino Enishi was carrying Karuizawa Kei as they walked along a secluded, Hoshino En path.

Feeling the cool breeze blowing against his body and the warmth of the body in his arms, he dodged the occasional gaze of passersby and sped towards the dormitory building like a ghost.
