Fight for Love!
9th Fight: Spy
"Wow! Is that Misaki-senpai's house?" I gasped in awe.
Nobara clung onto my elbow and exclaimed, "It's huge!"
"Of course, what do you expect from a minister's daughter?" Yuri said in an uninterested way as she rubbed her chin.
I could not believe my ears. Misaki was a minister's daughter! No wonder her house was a huge mansion. It was at least five storeys high and its size was as large as two football fields. It was like a real life castle from fairy tales.
Yuri pressed the doorbell and we waited patiently. The enormous gate automatically opened by itself and we saw Misaki running out of her house.
"You guys came! Hey! Just don't stand there and gawk at the gate, Mikan. You look stupid," Misaki commented while crossing her arms in front of me.
"Misaki-senpai, I have never seen this type of gate before. It's pretty cool," I said sheepishly and giggled.
Nobara giggled too and walked past us. Misaki sighed and put her arms around Yuri's and my shoulders before leading the way up to a room. That room was not ordinary at all. It was located on the fifth floor and that room is huge like our school hall. The floor was carpeted and cushioned. The room had nothing inside but was surrounded with mirrors on the four sides of the walls. At first, I thought I was in a ballet room. Not only that, it was air-conditioned! I liked this room!
When we entered the room, I noticed Shizune and a beautiful lady were inside talking to each other. Wow! Shizune came earlier than us! Shizune and the lady turned to look at us and smiled.
"Good afternoon, girls!" the lady greeted as she bowed to us. "I am Serina Yamada but please do call me Serina-sensei. I will be your coach and advisor. Pleased to meet you girls."
I was surprised by her formal greeting. Hold on, I was actually not surprised by that. I was actually surprised by her beauty and elegance. She looked just like the olden Japanese women who had held this type of indescribable beauty and manners. I guessed I was already taken in by her.
Misaki walked towards her and mocked, "Geez, Serina-obachan! You don't have to be so formal! You have to be 'punky' in your greetings like 'Yo! I'm Serina-obachan! Nice to meet ya, lil' punks!'"
Upon hearing this, Serina clenched her fist and punched Misaki directly on her laughing face. Misaki fell onto the floor and muttered a few curses before standing right up again, groaning in pain.
"Don't call me 'oba-chan'," Serina growled as she stuck out a middle finger at Misaki, much to my surprise.
Should I take back what I had complimented her earlier? Maybe I should. She must have a split personality too.
Serina looked at me and smiled before saying, "You must be Mikan Yukihira-san, right?"
I nodded and her smile vanished. She was looking at me sternly. I thought this scene had somewhat happened before but I just could not remember when it happened. I guessed it happened during my first time talking to Ruka.
Serina cleared her throat and everyone in the room looked at me sternly. Even Nobara who was a cheerful person was staring at me with narrowed eyes. I gulped. What happened to everyone?
"Mikan, sorry for not telling you something earlier but please forgive us. It is very important though," Shizune said while looking down on the floor.
I asked, "What is it?"
Shizune continued, "Special club is not an ordinary service club. It is a..."
There was silence until Misaki finished the sentence, "It is a Taekwondo Club in disguise."
I gasped and quickly shouted, "What? I was being tricked by whatever service thing you wrote on that application form? How could you do that? My parents are very against in violence and I had even told them that Special Club is a service club. And..."
"Mikan, please don't leave!" Shizune cried in exasperation. "We need you! We will do anything for you if it will make you stay here in this club."
I retorted, "No way in hell I would stay here! What happens if I get beaten up again? My parents will make a lot of fuss again..."
"You don't have to fight. Your role in this club is different," Nobara interrupted.
"What do you mean?"
Shizune explained, "You can choose not to fight because Misaki, Yuri, Nobara and I will do the fighting. Your job here is totally different from us."
Yuri patted my back and said softly, "You must stay here, Mikan. If you stay, we will tell you what your job is. And at the same time, Shizune will give you credit like..."
"Ruka Nogi's cool pictures!" Misaki interjected excitedly. "Do you want it? It's free and limited in edition, you know."
"I want!" I chirped and after realising what I said, I immediately covered my mouth in embarrassment. "W... Wait... How did you even manage to get his pictures?"
Shizune's index finger lifted up her own spectacles and smirked, "I have my resources, Dear. What type of photos you want? I have Ruka Nogi's photos, ranging from cute to embarrassing moments. I have everything. So?"
Misaki giggled and wrapped her hands around me while laughing cheekily, "How cute you are, Mikan! I know you want his photographs. Look at your tomato red face..."
"So, I take it that Mikan will remain in this club. Yeah?" Shizune asked.
"E... Eh?" I cried loudly. "I can't believe you will bribe me."
"Yay! I will take that as a 'yes'!" Misaki shouted happily as she tightened her hug around me.
Seriously, how was I going to tell my parents about it? They would kill me if they found out that Special Club was a Taekwondo Club in disguise.
"One question, if you want to join Taekwondo Club really badly, can't you join the current Taekwondo Club which has Tsubasa-senpai, Ruka-senpai and Natsume-senpai in it? Why do you want to start a new club?" I queried.
Shizune smirked and replied, "Good question, kouhai. This Taekwondo Club is special. We fight to raise funds for the needy, not for fun like the other one. There are some organisations will be sponsoring fund-raising games and we'll take part in those games. We fight for our love! Our love for the needy! Cool, aren't we?"
I muttered, "Y... Yes. So... what is my job?"
Misaki released me and said to everyone, "In this club, Shizune is our chairperson. Yuri will be the vice-chairperson. Nobara will be treasurer and you, Mikan, will be our spy."
"S... Spy? What is that?" I asked anxiously.
Serina, who remained quiet throughout our conversation, finally spoke, "Your role is to spy on other Taekwondo clubs to gain knowledge for Special Club. For example, you will spy on the moves which our opponents make before the actual competition and you will tell us. From there, we will infer the different blind spots of our opponents. Get it?"
I nodded and asked, "So, how am I going to spy on them? They will definitely find out about my identity."
"Use your brain, Dear," Shizune replied and I sighed.
Why was I a spy? That was a tough job but I could not protest any way. At least, I was not going to fight, right?
"What about Misaki-senpai?" I asked.
Misaki laughed and replied, "I am a pawn. A pawn to be used for fighting in competitions. Don't underestimate me, dude. I'm a first degree Black Belt and I will definitely bring glory to Special Club."
Then, Misaki laughed loudly and evilly as she crossed her arms, depicting an evil queen laughing over someone's death. I shuddered and was left speechless. Serina walked over to me and rested her arm on my shoulder.
Serina whispered, "Ignore her, Mikan-san. She's crazy. I have known her for many years as her Taekwondo coach so I know that she is definitely crazy. By the way, before I allow you to become a spy, I will give you some tests so that you can obtain at least a Camouflage Belt. Don't worry about going home with bruises all over your body because the tests are going to be simple. You don't mind, right?"
I thought for awhile before nodding my head in approval. I thought it might be fine as long as I did not get hurt like the last time when Luna had bitten me into a pulp. I guessed Special Club was not as bad as what I had thought to be before. We fought for a reason. And that was our love for those who were in need. Good reason, or should I say 'excuse', to fight.
Suddenly, the door swung open and revealed Narumi who was wearing a pink apron and was holding onto a plate of chocolate muffins with both hands. Everyone in the room gawked at him, even Misaki stopped laughing. I did not know what was wrong but I just knew that the apron looked weird on him.
"Hi, hi! Oops! Did I miss anything? What's with that serious faces for? Do you like my apron? Yes?" Narumi chirped as he spun around in circles.
I smacked my own forehead and sighed. Since when did he enter into her mansion? Furthermore, I wondered how this gay guy here managed to pass as a teacher. He was just too... cute and hilarious to be one. That was my opinion and I thought I was going crazy too. Shizune was right; Special Club was a no ordinary club, after all.
