The spar between Tsukasa and Tomoe attracted everyone’s attention.
Miyabi and Julie stood side by side, watching their duel on the sideline while hoping that neither of them would get hurt.
On the other hand, the students around the dojo started to talk to each other about who was going to win in this spar.
Tsukasa was extremely famous because of his beautiful and handsome face. In addition, the shape of his Blaze, which was a gun, also attracted everyone’s attention since it was for the first time someone to have such a shape of Blaze.
However, Tomoe also wasn’t weak either.
Tsukasa might not know, but Tomoe was the daughter of a famous martial arts family, known as the Tachibana style.
Still, even if Tsukasa knew about it, he would be clueless since he wasn’t sure what the Tachibana style was.
However, if one had to explain, the Tachibana style was an ancient school of martial arts that had influenced all sorts of fighting styles.
Tomoe had devoted most of her childhood training to succeed in the family’s name. She was also blessed with the talent for martial arts, and the strict training certainly bore fruit, even though it was little by little. With both talent and hard work, she became so strong that it gave her misfortune.
Tomoe was so strong that all the guys around her age would run away, which made her depressed sometimes.
Still, it was also because of this that Tomoe also felt quite depressed when she thought that Tsukasa might run away if she won against him.
However, not only Tomoe who thought that she would win this spar, but everyone also thought similarly.
If the spar was using a Blaze, Tsukasa might win since he used a gun and Tomoe was using a kusarigama.
However, this spar was barehanded, and neither of them would use their Blaze, so without a doubt, Tomoe would win since she was a famous martial artist in this world.
“Do you have time to wander your mind during our spar? If you lose, I will have you make a shameful request of mine, you know?” Tsukasa said with a smile.
“Wh-What?!” Tomoe instantly blushed, and she became agitated. “Wh-What do you mean by the shameful request?!”
“Oh? I can’t talk about it here since the place, and the occasion isn’t right.”
“Tsu-Tsukasa!”
It was her first time meeting such a guy in her life, especially when she had always dutifully followed the rules, so she couldn’t help but get agitated and strangely excited somehow since their banter gave an unexpected enjoyment that she had never felt before.
“Tomoe-chan, why has your mind always wondered in that area? I never said I’d make a perverted request, right? Or do you expect me to make one?” Tsukasa looked at Tomoe thoughtfully and said, “Tomoe-chan, you’re a perverted girl.”
“I – I am not!!!”
Everyone might not have heard what they were talking about, but somehow they felt like they saw a couple flirting with each other, which made them speechless.
Still, Julie, who watched this scene, wasn’t sure why, but she felt slightly uncomfortable. “Tsukasa.”
Tsukasa looked at Julie for a moment and nodded. “How about we start our spar, Tomoe-chan?”
“Do-Don’t call me with “-chan”!” Tomoe fumed, but then she said, “Alright, let’s have a match!” She then used an upright natural posture, with knees slightly bent, head centered over the hips, feet directly below the hips, and about shoulder-width apart.
Watching Tomoe’s stance, Tsukasa could pretty much tell that Tomoe was good at judo, so he also did similarly and used a judo stance too.
“Judo?” Tomoe was surprised, but then she thought that she was going to win.
“You thought you were going to win easily?”
“I am very good at judo, you know?”
“It’s okay.” Tsukasa showed a faint smile and said, “No matter what, I am better than you.”
Tomoe frowned and said, “Let’s see whether your skill can match your mouth.”
“I wonder what kind of request I should ask you when I win later.”
Tomoe blushed again, but this time, she quickly calmed herself, thinking that it might be a psychological attack that was used by Tsukasa. Frankly, this strategy had succeeded, but now, she wouldn’t let him do it again and charged toward him without hesitation!
As long as she threw him down, Tomoe could shut his mouth!
Her strategy was simple, and she also believed in her strength, thinking the result of this spar had been determined.
However, there was one miscalculation.
Tomoe was about to grab Tsukasa’s PE uniform to throw him out, but suddenly her world twisted, and she fell to the ground.
“…..”
Tomoe was dumbfounded and confused.
However, not only Tomoe, who was confused, but everyone in this place was also confused since Tomoe was the one who attacked first, but she was the one who fell.
“…What’s happening?”
“I am not sure.”
Many students started to discuss with each other since they didn’t understand what was happening.
“Done?”
Tomoe looked at Tsukasa, who was looking down on her, and quickly stood up without hesitation, using her judo stance again. “I haven’t lost this spar yet!”
“Then come,” Tsukasa said simply.
However, no matter how many times Tomoe did it, she fell again and again, and she didn’t understand how Tsukasa had done it.
“Wh-What’s happening?” Miyabi was confused and amazed, watching Tsukasa, wondering how he had to throw Tomoe down and down again.
Julie, who squinted her eyes, also couldn’t understand while also wondering whether she could ask him to learn this technique.
However, their thoughts had nothing to do with Tsukasa and Tomoe.
“Give up?” Tsukasa asked.
Tomoe could only show a bitter expression and let out a long sigh as she lay on the ground. “…I lost.”
Not only did she lose, but Tomoe had also lost thoroughly!
Tomoe knew that Tsukasa was holding back since she knew that he could make her pass out easily, but he didn’t do that and kept throwing her down again and again until she gave up, which made her realize the distance between the two.
“Okay, don’t cry, alright?” Tsukasa helped Tomoe to stand up and said, “You’re strong, Tomoe. I guarantee it.”
“I – I’m not crying!” Tomoe curled her lips and asked curiously, “But how did you do that? How did you throw me down?”
A throw requests two separate actions.
First, the grab. Then the throw.
The time lag between the grab and the throw is the biggest weakness of the throw.
However, Tomoe didn’t feel that she was grabbed and when she realized she was already being thrown.
‘Don’t tell me…?’
“Have you realized?” Tsukasa asked.
“…You can throw me down without even grabbing me?” Tomoe asked with astonishment since she didn’t expect to have a spar with a judo master, but at the same time, she was excited when she found out that there was a male around his age who was more powerful than her.
“I’ll let you know later, but don’t forget about our bet, alright?”
“Wh-What…?! Wh-What do you want to do with me!? I-I definitely won’t agree to a perverted request!”
“…..”
Tsukasa rolled his eyes and thought that this girl really expected him to ask a perverted request so he also wouldn’t disappoint her. “Well… come closer. I’ll tell you.”
Tomoe looked at Tsukasa vigilantly, but she moved closer before she heard his request. However, as she heard it, her face turned bright red again.
“Tsukasa.”
Julie and Miyabi approached them, but Julie quickly positioned herself right next to Tsukasa closely.
However, Tsukasa only looked at Tomoe and waited for her to abide by his request.
Tomoe was embarrassed, but she was a good girl who always kept her promise, so she did what Tsukasa requested. She raised her two hands near her temples as if a rabbit’s ears with a burning red face as she jumped lightly. “Pl-Please tell me how you defeated me… pyon…”
“…….” Miyabi and Julie.
“You’re cute, Tomoe,” Julie praised naturally.
“Ple-Please kill me… pyon….” Tomoe meekly lay on the ground with tears in her eyes.
“…….”
Being stared at by Miyabi and Julie silently, Tsukasa somehow wondered whether he had done too much. Still, he must admit Tomoe was cute.
