Chapter 36: Catching Up, Part 2

Koi then arrived at the courtyard with Hatsuki and Taiyo.

"Why does Miss Endoh want us here in the courtyard?" Koi wonders.

"I don't know." Taiyo replied. "All I know is that she's gonna help us with our grades in her class, which are all B-'s."

"I mean, Gym is really difficult. That's all I gotta say about-"

Hatsuki quiets Koi.

"Shh! Miss Endoh is walking towards the courtyard!" Hatsuki said. "We must be on deck!"

The gym teacher, Sakura Endoh arrived to meet up with Koi, Hatsuki and Taiyo.

"Alright you three!" Sakura shouted. "Time to get your asses back on top! We're gonna be doing basic exercises and then some challenges! Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes ma'am!" Taiyo shouted.

Sakura looks at Koi and Hatsuki as they nod their heads.

"I guess nodding counts!" Sakura said. "Now let's get started!"

Sakura then had her students run around the courtyard.

"Come on you three!" Sakura shouted. "Work those legs! Come on!"

"Ugh! I guess we're used to running!" Hatsuki shouted. "But I'm not even ready for something like this!"

Hatsuki then tired out. Sakura stopped.

"Koi! Taiyo! Keep running!" Sakura shouted. "Hatsuki! The heck are you doing?! Work those legs! Get up, or else Mother Nature will rain you down!"

Hatsuki then got up.

"What does that even mean?" Hatsuki said as she breathed in and out.

"I just wanted to say that to scare you." Sakura replied as she then ran. "NOW RUN!"

"Oh my God… Gym class is not my thing!" Hatsuki said as she started running again. "But I gotta get my grade back up if I'm gonna do this!"

About 3 minutes later, they were done running. Koi and his allies were out of breath.

"Yeah yeah! I know! Gym is not your thing!" Sakura shouted. "You three really need a healthy mind, body and spirit to live longer!"

"Sorry, Miss Endoh…" Hatsuki said. "It's just… We're falling behind… There's a lot more stuff we can do than just gym in school…"

"Yeah ok… Listen, most of the students in this school got A's in this class for knowing what they were doing! Even that popular girl, Naomi Nomura got an A here because she knows what she is doing! I want you three to succeed here! I mean, a B is fine, but an A is better!"

"Alright, Miss Endoh… What's next?" Taiyo asked.

"The next thing you three need to do is to stand in the middle of the courtyard. Simple as that, eh?"

A few seconds later, Koi, Hatsuki and Taiyo were in the center.

"First things first, let me wash away the sweat you three have on you." Sakura said. "Turn around and DO NOT face me, ok?!"

They all nodded and turned away from Sakura. Without looking, they all felt rain downpouring on them. Hatsuki looks up and sees a rain cloud above her, Koi and Taiyo.

"Rain?! Already?!" Hatsuki shouted. "I thought it was sunny today!"

Without looking back at her, Sakura smiled.

"They're not noticing." She said. "I know that those three have something that I do… I can sense their powers… Their Stands… Oh! Where am I going?!"

Sakura's Stand then had its left arm quickly appear to remove the rain cloud above her students. Her Stand's arm then quickly vanished as her students went back to her.

"Looks like I'll be able to dry you three off!" Sakura said. "See the sun above you? That's your only source!"

Smiling, Taiyo looks at Koi and Hatsuki.

"She knows about the sun, which is perfect." Taiyo said.

"But doesn't your Stand shoot out rocks?" Hatsuki asked.

"Damn… You're right, looks like we'll scratch that…" Taiyo said. "But what was that rain? Where did it come from?"

"Um… Is it possible if Miss Endoh is a Stand User?"

Koi and Taiyo were shocked.

"Shhh! Don't let her know!" Koi shouted.

"Hey!" Sakura shouted. "What are you three doing chit-chatting?! We're getting back to work! ASAP!"

"Already?! Where's a break damn it?!" Hatsuki shouted.

"Quit complaining, Hatsuki! Anyways, let's get back to work! Stand right there you three!"

"Ok, now what?" Taiyo asked.

"Good… Now, I want you three to do push-ups."

"Push-ups? I guess that's easy." Hatsuki said.

Koi, Hatsuki and Taiyo then started doing push-ups.

"Alright then, let's crank the difficulty!" Sakura shouted.

Another rain cloud was formed from Sakura's Stand to rain down on Koi and his allies.

"There it is again!" Hatsuki shouted. "Ahh! I'm soaked again!"

Koi looks at Sakura with her Stand.

"You're right, Hatsuki!" Koi shouted. "Miss Endoh is a Stand User!"
