Women Only Slow Down My Punches

Kanzaki Rin couldn't grasp what was happening before her eyes for a moment.

She looked back at the elevator door that hadn't closed yet, then retreated.

Once the elevator door shut, Kanzaki Rin took a deep breath, pressed the open button again, drew her stun gun, and charged out.

Alright, she hadn't misread the situation, nor was she hallucinating.

Fang Cheng was actually chasing Takeda Masumi and beating her up.

But how could such a thing even happen?!

Kanzaki Rin really wanted to shoot herself right now just to clear her bewildered head.

Takeda Masumi had a nickname within the Disaster Countermeasure Department: Great Demon King Takeda.

Because her combat skills were incredibly strong and she never held back, she would beat anyone up when her temper flared—even the commander had been on the receiving end.

Aside from a few aces, everyone else feared Takeda Masumi like a tiger, eventually using administrative means to kick her over here to gather dust.

That such a tigress was being chased and beaten by a rookie who had only been learning combat for three days was a joke no one would even dare to make on April Fool's Day.

Takeda Masumi had already noticed Kanzaki Rin, immediately showing a look of pleasant surprise as she hurried toward her.

"Masumi, what is this?"

"Quick, stop him!"

Takeda Masumi zipped behind Kanzaki Rin to hide.

Fang Cheng followed closely behind.

Kanzaki Rin hurriedly raised a hand to stop him: "Stop!! What is going on with you two?"

Seeing Kanzaki Rin appear, Fang Cheng finally halted, placing one hand on his hip: "What else could it be? Training."

Takeda Masumi poked her head out from behind Kanzaki Rin and shouted: "Training is already over."

Fang Cheng grinned: "But I feel like I still have many shortcomings."

Takeda Masumi said irritably: "Then go find someone else."

"There's only you here."

"I'm done playing."

"You don't get to decide that."

"You don't get to decide that either."

Seeing the two about to start arguing, Kanzaki Rin quickly interrupted: "Stop, quit bickering!"

She felt the world was changing too fast; in the past, it was always Takeda Masumi chasing other interns relentlessly. In all the years she had known her, this was the first time she had seen her being hounded by someone else.

Kanzaki Rin also realized that, as hard as it was to believe, Fang Cheng really seemed to be suppressing Takeda Masumi, beating her to the point that even this combat fanatic didn't want to play anymore.

Takeda Masumi grabbed Kanzaki Rin's shoulders to complain: "Take this brat away already. I've already declared training over, but he insists on continuing. He has no sense of rules at all."

Fang Cheng sneered: "I saw you having plenty of fun beating me up, so why is it a problem when it's my turn to beat you? Where's the logic in that?"

He pointed at Takeda Masumi: "Come out. What kind of skill is it to hide behind a woman?"

Takeda Masumi gritted her teeth: "Are you blind? I'm a woman too."

Fang Cheng spread his hands, looking indifferent: "So what if you're a woman? I'd beat up a man just the same, let alone a woman."

Takeda Masumi and Kanzaki Rin were both speechless; there was something fundamentally wrong with that statement.

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

No, even if it were reversed, it would still be a scumbag remark.

Kanzaki Rin held her forehead: "You're never going to find a girlfriend like this."

Fang Cheng smoothed his hair: "Hmph, women only slow down the speed of my punches."

"Then why do you write love letters to girls?"

"If I don't give them to girls, should I give them to boys? I don't have that kind of hobby."

Kanzaki Rin's head was covered in black lines. This guy was hopeless; had his brain been damaged after being bitten by a vampire?

"Alright, since training is over, let's leave it at that."

Kanzaki Rin didn't want to judge who was right or wrong, but she couldn't let them keep fighting.

Fang Cheng, however, rubbed his hands together: "No way, I haven't had enough yet."

Not expecting to be refused, Kanzaki Rin's face darkened. She stared at him for a long time before saying coldly: "Tonight, at the barbecue restaurant... eat as much as you want."

Fang Cheng immediately broke into a smile and gave her a thumbs up: "I'm listening to you."

He couldn't ignore the face of his long-term meal ticket.

Kanzaki Rin remained expressionless, as if she could already hear her wallet wailing.

Damn it!!

Fang Cheng tossed his gloves aside and turned to head for a shower.

With only Kanzaki Rin and Takeda Masumi left behind, the atmosphere turned somewhat awkward.

When Fang Cheng first arrived, Takeda Masumi had assumed he was just some pretty boy pestering Kanzaki Rin, so she had wanted to have a little fun at his expense.

Kanzaki Rin had also been worried that Takeda Masumi might go too hard and scare Fang Cheng off, thereby jeopardizing her plans.

But the outcome had completely defied both of their expectations.

It was fortunate that no one usually came to this dump, or the reputation of the "tigress" would have been utterly ruined.

Feeling a bit guilty for having brought trouble upon Takeda Masumi, Kanzaki Rin prepared to offer a few words of comfort.

However, Takeda Masumi turned to look at her and asked, "That kid's ability... it isn't just Self-Healing, is it?"

Kanzaki Rin felt a jolt in her heart. Had Fang Cheng's identity as a vampire been seen through?

She kept her expression neutral and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Why?"

Takeda Masumi couldn't help but smile. "Rin, I've been teaching you combat for three years; have you ever managed to beat me once?"

Kanzaki Rin pursed her lips. If Takeda Masumi only used one hand, she might have had a tiny chance of winning.

Yet Fang Cheng had only taken three days... to chase Takeda Masumi around and beat her.

Was this the plot of some third-rate novel?

"I don't know if the kid has some kind of copy ability or super-learning ability, but based on his sheer willpower and tenacity alone, he's a talent. You've got a good eye."

Takeda Masumi patted Kanzaki Rin on the shoulder and whispered, "You need to be careful and take good care of yourself."

Kanzaki Rin turned to look at her in surprise.

Takeda Masumi waved a hand. "I'm going to take a shower too. Close the door on your way out."

Kanzaki Rin watched her retreating back and whispered, "Thank you."

She knew that Takeda Masumi had already realized Fang Cheng was definitely not from the Disaster Countermeasure Department.

How could such an outstanding talent be brought here to be trained by Takeda Masumi?

Takeda Masumi had likely seen through it on the very first day, yet she hadn't asked any questions and had continued to train Fang Cheng in earnest.

Fang Cheng finished his shower, wrapped a towel around his waist, and stepped out, ready to get dressed.

As soon as he emerged, he saw Takeda Masumi standing by the locker room entrance, seemingly waiting specifically for him.

Fang Cheng was surprised. "What, you still not satisfied?"

Takeda Masumi walked slowly up to Fang Cheng, looked down at his face, and suddenly smiled. "You know, kid, you're actually quite handsome when you look closely. You fit my aesthetic perfectly."

Fang Cheng frowned slightly. What was this woman playing at? If she couldn't beat him, she was going to use a honey trap?

Takeda Masumi reached out a hand, gently stroking Fang Cheng's bare chest before sliding it down to his abs. "Of all the people I've known, you're the only one who barely qualifies as a man... feel free to come find me when you're free."

She licked her sexy lips and spoke in a low, magnetic voice.

"Smack—"

Fang Cheng slapped Takeda Masumi's hand away and snapped, "You pervert, where do you think you're touching?"

Takeda Masumi clutched her hand, staring at him in disbelief.

Fang Cheng wiped his chest with his towel, annoyed. "If you want to talk, just talk. Don't go touching things. Are we even that close?"

Takeda Masumi retorted angrily, "Hey, I'm a beautiful woman, don't you think you're being a bit excessive?"

"Excessive? Who gave you the right to go around touching the opposite sex? I didn't beat you up only because of Kanzaki Rin."

Fang Cheng glanced at Takeda Masumi's chest and let out a scoff, dripping with mockery. "You don't actually think I'm some pure, innocent boy who blushes and gets shy just because someone teases him, do you?"

Takeda Masumi was left speechless, her face flushed with rage. She could only glare fiercely at Fang Cheng's back as he walked into the locker room.

After he left, Takeda Masumi took a few deep breaths, quickly regained her composure, and let out a soft laugh.

"Rin, this is all big sister can do for you."
