Episode 10
Control Room...
"Sir, are there any matches scheduled for the preliminary rings?" An operator asked as he looked on the monitors in wonder. He had been operating the cameras around campus when he noticed the cameras in the gym picking up some images and displaying a large amount of students. "It looks like there's one going on right now."
"What? Our students?" Another male questioned with interest, putting some kind of creamer into his drink. He was never a morning person so coffee was a must. "Check if they are from other schools! See if they're authorized to be in the area!"
"Yes sir." The operator typed away on the keyboard and brought up closer images. "There are a few from other schools but they are qualified. The rest are all freshmen from our school!"
"Really? Let me have a look." The other guy, cup in hand, walked over quickly and leaned closer to see the monitors better. "They do look like new students...that's strange..."
"No serious problem detected, sir."
"What? But there is!" The one in charge snapped, almost slamming his cup down on the desk before turning to look at the operator in shock. "You don't see what's going on? Turn the speaker on the gym!"
"Y-Yes sir!" The operator hastily pressed a button and wiped the sweat off his brow. "Okay it's good to go! You can begin speaking!"
BWOOOOOOOOOOOOP~
"Ahem~ One! Two! Students in the Wild's gym! Those gathered at the preliminary rings, please pay attention!"
An intercom? I thought with interest as the others tilted their heads in wonder. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed the camera mounted in the corner and poised on all of us. I didn't know there was something like that in here...
"You are violating the school rules! Please stop all the bouts immediately! Stop fighting!"
"Right! Of course they won't let this happen!" Jae Gu released a breath of air he didn't know he was holding on to. "What a relief!"
"If any violation of the basic rules for free-sparring are spotted 3 times, you will lose the qualification for entering the gym."
"...eh?" At that we noticed a compartment opening up and two pairs of gloves – one red and the other blue – fell into the ring. "What is this?"
"Gloves are mandatory at all times in the ring! Don't forget next time!" Turning of the intercom the male took a long sip of his drink and sighed with a smile upon his face. "There we go, problem solved~"
"Those rookies are already enthusiastic!" The operator agreed. "We got a great bunch this year for sure!"
"What? Someone's sparring at the preliminary ring." Within an empty classroom Moon Young scrolled through her phone in wonder, her eyes narrowed with interest. Across from her Queen had a book propped open but her ears were alert to what her friend was saying. "Huh...? Who's this? A freshman girl...and Hye Shin Kim?"
Hye Shin Kim? What is she doing back over here...? Queen's eyebrow twitched when she heard the name. I thought she already left the last time we saw each other...
"Oh check this out! Jae Gu and Tobi are there as well!" Moon Young exclaimed when she saw pictures of us.
"What are they doing over there?" Queen snapped her book shut, thoughts clouding her mind. She was enjoying herself while reading but knowing that something was going down she couldn't help but worry.
"Hmm...I got it! That Hye Shin couldn't accept the fact that an unknown fighter like Jae Gu is Queen's first match at the finals! Now for Tobi to be there he was probably dragged into it." Moon Young concluded once she finished scrolling through her phone and put it in her pocket with a smug look on her face. "What? Wanna go and save them?"
"What makes you think I'll go and do that...?" The blonde questioned, knowing exactly what her friend was hinting at.
"Nah, you're right. The Queen can't get on a preliminary ring just for this~" The captain of the boxing club teased, chuckling at what fun she was having seeing the cute expressions on the usual stoic Queen. "What to do~ Oh what to do~"
Tch...look at her tooting her own horn...Queen sighed to herself, releasing a huff of air. At least she's feeling mighty confident about this...
"Alright, alright~ You'd burst into tears if I don't go there for you, huh?" Moon Young hopped to her feet and sauntered off with her hands in her pockets. "I'll be back as quickly as I can~ Don't worry a thing about Jae Gu...and I'll go and save Tobi from the mess as well while I'm at it~"
Back in the gym...
"Wow, gloves fell from the air..." Go Seul mused as she looked up to the ceiling in wonder. She was extremely excited but it seemed to me that she was an airhead, easily distracted by something before refocusing on the task at hand. "Only to be expected at Wild's."
"Krr..." One of the girls that tried to restrain her whipped out her phone and dialed a number. She held the small item up to her ear. "H...How many Gura High kids are around? Get everybody at the Wild's gym right now! Hurry!"
"Huh?" I noticed a girl talking loudly in a phone and narrowed my eyes slightly. There's no doubt in my mind that this sparring event will turn ugly. She's calling for backup?! That's not fair!
"Wow you girls are amazing! You're already up after those punches to the guts!" Go Seul complimented. "No one's ever been able to stand after what I did to them!"
"Shut up and put on your gloves, brat!" Hye Shin ordered after putting on the red gloves. She also removed her tie, making sure nothing could be used against her. "I'll make that smart mouth of yours quiet. Jae Gu Song, You're next! Followed by the foreigner. That's the order I'll take you all on."
"Ah..."
"Hold it! Everyone stop what they're doing!" Moon Young spoke up as she walked in, stopping Go Seul from whatever she was about to say. It didn't take her long to make it to the gym, assuming she took a shortcut to decrease the amount of time she normally would take if she were to take the long route. "But check this out, what's with this crowd~"
"Moon Young, stay out! Mind your own business!" Hye Shin growled as the captain of the boxing club approached the ring, trying to not shake in nervousness. "This is just about to be good!"
"How lame Hye Shin! They're only kids." Was the reply. "Man, I didn't know you would stoop so low! Beating up a couple of kids, color me surprise~"
"Watch your mouth! If you put your nose in this, I will not...!" The red-head paused when she noticed that Moon Young's fist was inches from her stomach, only a hair width from connecting. She's so fast! I didn't have a chance to react...if this were real, I'd already be dead...
"Hye Shin...We're in the 'Red Circle', you know what that means right? What do you say we fight until one of us gets carried out in an ambulance?" Moon Young suggested and when she didn't get a response right away she continued, "The only reason you're still in one piece is because you're not healed yet from your match with Queen. Come back after you've recovered." Once she finished speaking she walked off, ordering Go Seul to step off and comforting Jae Gu who was still sitting inside the ring.
"Did you ask for us? Here we are?!"
"Invincible Gura High!"
"They're actually here!"
"Oh...What a shame..." Hye Shin murmured as the crowd began chanting Gura High as the newcomers waltzed in. She could feel the momentum going and the blood rising within her. "What should I do, Moon Young? My guys can't let this go, cuz they are too hyper!"
This is turning into some kind of riot! I watched between the two groups as Go Seul stood beside me. What can I do? What can I do?
"Oh yeah! Your school just became co-ed this year, but you know..." Hye Shin smirked as three boys stood around her. They were really rough looking characters and I couldn't help but swallow with fear. "We've been co-ed all along!"
So this is what it feels like to be in the presences of two very powerful groups...I nervously loosened my tie, trying to get rid of the heat. I've never felt something like this in my life...
"Heh..." Moon Young smiled before picking up the blue-colored gloves, not at all worried. In fact she was the complete opposite, like someone switched on a light-bulb inside of her. "What a bunch of dimwits! Hye Shin, you call yourself a fighter? How lame!" She unzipped her coat as a grin appeared on her face, her eyes looked like a beast who was riled up by the stench of blood. "Co-ed? So what?"
"What?!" Hye Shin snarled, unsure of what she heard. In one fluid movement Moon Young removed her coat with one arm, leaving her in a spaghetti-strap tank top with a sports bra underneath. I could see the well-defined muscles she had been training as she proudly proclaimed her challenge.
"I am Moon Young. The captain of the Wild's boxing club. A 'boy' or a 'girl'! Bring it on, if you have guts."
