Nikki pushed him against the wall but Calix caught her hands before she could grab his neck. Although their position was a bit awkward.
Because of Nikki's height, Calix was looking up at her but the two bazinggas were blocking his vision.
'Holy moly, what big mountains they are.'
As a guy, Calix had his priority. He pushed Nikki with his all strength 'unintentionally', touching her breasts in the process.
"What's your problem!?"
He said and Nikki slightly stumbled. But she immediately regained her balance and subdued Calix. She took advantage of her reach and jabbed Calix. She was fast despite her size.
But...
"Dude, you don't know how many times I received a jab back in high school!"
Calix roared and evaded it. This chance gave him the time to give a counter. Calix landed a liver blow on Nikki and the woman gasped for air.
"Ugh!"
She fell to her knees, gasping for air. She glared at Calix. She didn't have any information about this guy. In fact, she didn't think that Calix was important at all. But it changed when she saw him carrying some heavy dumbbells earlier.
"Are you ready to talk to me now?"
Calix said. He was surprised that this woman attacked him without any reason. Heck, he just touched the hammer, and Nikki was triggered.
"Look, I don't know what your thinking, I just touched the hammer. It's not even a problem."
He muttered and wiped the bruise on his neck, Nikki was fast despite her size. If not because of his training and Luck, Calix understood that he would get bodied by this woman.
"That golden hammer, Corco, is an heirloom from my father's side. Only women could touch it because of the curse. Not even my father can use it."
"Corco? This hammer?"
Calix looked at the weapon that cursed him.
"That's right, my father told me it has a name."
Nikki gently sat on the corner of the bed and checked her ribs. She didn't receive much damage, she just have trouble breathing.
She glanced at the hammer. Corco was almost stolen last time, some soldiers in the battalion hid the hammer but they were having a hard time taking it out of the camp because of the curse. Thankfully, Nikki found it before they smuggled it. That was the last call that pushed her to leave the fifth battalion and find another team.
Girls or boys don't respect her. She knew it. She was used to being made fun of. She beat those thieves but in the end, she looked nothing but a villain because of her size.
That image was still fresh in her mind so when she found Calix touching the hammer, her instincts immediately kicked in and she attacked him.
Thankfully, Calix was strong.
When she realized her mistake, she looked down and mumbled.
"I'm sorry… It's my fault. I'm just shocked that I found you in my room, touching my hammer, I'm sorry."
Her normal weak voice returned and Calix tilted his head because he couldn't hear her.
"Huh? Did you say something?"
Calix couldn't read her lips if she was looking down.
"… I'm sorry."
She repeated.
"Ah? Well, I know that I shouldn't have touched your property. That's my fault."
He admitted. He was just curious why the hammer made a connection to Mento.
"No, it's my fault. I hurt you."
Nikki knew that she might be put in another unit after this. This was her second day in this unit, yet it seemed that she had to find another one.
She sighed. She wanted to join this unit because she heard that most of the members were girls. At least no boys would make fun of her height.
'Women just avoid and treat me like nothing, but the men in my battalion are different. They always call me giant, monster, or gorilla … As a woman, it hurts to be called a gorilla.'
Nobody wants to be called a gorilla. Nikki is still a woman, her heart is fragile. Especially after what happened years ago, Nikki lost her trust in men.
"Your wound… Does it hurt?"
She looked at Calix and found that his neck was bleeding.
"Oh this, I'm fine. I can understand that you are just acting based on your instincts. I experienced that too… Dodging some pebbles while I'm sleeping back in high school."
"But still…"
It was really great that Calix could understand Nikki using lip reading. Or else he won't find that Nikki was anxious.
He shrugged and decided to sit next to her. He knew how to ease her heart.
"If you are guilty, just look into my eyes from now on."
"I- I will."
Nikki nodded, looking at his greenish-brown eyes. Nikki had brown eyes too but Calix's eyes were unique.
"…"
She gulped. Now that she thought of it, this was the first time she looked at him eye to eye. She was always afraid to look in people's eyes. Because she knew that their eyes had nothing but disgust and mockery on her.
However, Calix had none. Nikki found him beautiful… As if her heart was snared.
"Hey, you okay?"
Calix asked. His neck was aching, particularly now that he was looking up at her.
"… Let me treat your wound."
Nikki muttered.
"Okay, if you say so."
Nikki grabbed her first aid kit. She had experienced and easily patched his wound.

"Woah, you're fast. I know that you're strong but I didn't know that you can do meticulously stuff like this."
Calix was impressed, laughing. He forgot that this woman almost choked and slammed him to the wall.
'Nah. I'm not that stupid. If she attacks me again, I will break her arms.'
Calix knew when to be a devil.
'It's just that I feel that Nikki and I have similarities.'
They both suffered because of the people around them. They were both bullied and lost their self-esteem. The difference was that Calix overcame them, but Nikki was still stuck.
"But if she attacked me again… Imma fuck her ass."
… Yup, maybe Calix was the villain all along.
Well, Calix couldn't help it, Nikki is definitely one of a kind, those BUNS AND TITS. And as a horny motherfucker, Calix wanted a taste of her pipeline. Just like a normal guy.
'Why hurt her, if you can smash her?'
"Hm, did you say something?"
"Nothing, I just want to say that you're a wonderful woman."
"T- thanks…"
Nikki blushed and averted her gaze. She didn't know that Calix was thinking of something lewd.
