Chapter 22: 22 Trouble Brewing

Nolen School C, field

"Misae, can't you focus on the lesson?" Kanae looked towards her friend with a helpless expression.

"But, he's there," Misae pouted.

The one her best friend meant was their school student council president, Kevin Kalin. He was currently standing near the teacher with one student near him. The teacher has said before that they came to take a look for the potential first year to join the student council. This made a lot of students grew excited and did their best to perform.

Aside from that, the teacher also mentioned those whom he remembered. As the teacher, he knew some of them who were the best, so he could give some recommendation to this person.

"If you want to get chosen, you better move and practice."

Misae pouted. "And show him how clumsy I am? I better off trying to watch him rather than doing them."

Kanae sighed. She turned her gaze towards Alice, but the latter only shook her head slightly. Facing the stubborn Misae, there was nothing they could do to make her move. The two of them have finished their warm up while Misae barely started them.

"Let's just correct your form," Kanae said to Alice.

Alice nodded her head. Usually, Kanae would not practice any martial arts, but being seen to run around the field during the class was also not good. This was not PE, so she could just use this chance to train Alice.

"Try to attack me," Kanae said after a while.

"Are you sure?" Alice asked doubtfully.

"Well, just follow my order. Right punch," Kanae started.

Alice followed Kanae's instruction and punched using the movement they were taught. Kanae moved to the side and tapped the upper part of the punch.

"You're too high. This punch is unstable, so you need to move it a bit lower."

"Ah, okay."

Having Kanae taught her, Alice finally understood why Kanae didn't bother learning with them. She was basically an expert in this field as she kept on correcting the basic posture Alice had. After quite some time, they took a rest because Alice couldn't maintain the stance.

"Misae, want to learn now?"

"Fine," Misae reluctantly moved.

After seeing how Kanae taught Alice, she was interested as well. Finishing her warm up, she tried attacking Kanae. Compared with Alice, her basic foundation was far better, but she was extremely slow and couldn't last long. Even her stance was correct, but there was barely any stamina.

"I think what you need is running to increase your stamina," Kanae concluded after a while. She barely corrected any of the stances.

Misae frowned. "I hate running."

She has done all she could to avoid that training, so she didn't want to pull herself to train in running anymore. They were too tiring for her and she couldn't bear to do them anymore.

Alice laughed slightly. "I have to practice running a bit every day since young."

"Are you joking?"

"No, I have a weak body when I'm still a kid, so I can only train in running."

Misae looked towards Alice up and down. "You don't look like a sick person. You're as healthy as you can be."

"My health has improved, so I start doing PE from junior high school and then martial arts," Alice answered.

"You don't learn them from young? Your parents must be very patient with you," Misae grumbled.

Kanae shook her head in amusement. "Do you want to keep on resting? The president is still watching over there. If you can do them correctly, you might have the chance to get into the student council and meet with him every day."

"Don't try to tempt me."

However, it didn't take long for the two of them to have another light spar. Alice was still correcting her form while Misae was simply doing what she has practiced since young. Before long, Misae was too tired to continue, so she sat down again and Kanae replaced her once again.

"You're good at this," Alice smiled.

Kanae merely nodded her head. "I have enough practice in the past."

She didn't explain any further while Alice thought about Kanae's identity. Members of the wealthy family were usually trained in martial arts, so she guessed that it might be the case. However, she didn't dare to ask that to the girl in front of her.

While they were practicing, the president caught the sight of Kanae taught the other two girls. His eyes showed interest for a moment.

"Neo, do you know that girl who plays ball with us before?"

"I search about her," Neo answered. "Her name is Kanae Nali, a daughter from the fifth branch of the Nali Family. She's excellent in study, which allows her to get a full scholarship…"

"She's also good at martial arts," Kevin pointed towards the light movement that Kanae showed to them.

"She's a member of the Nali Family," Neo shrugged. He merely did a basic investigation and didn't search deeper because there were too many things he had to do.

"Pick her."

"I get it," Neo answered calmly.

Kevin moved his gaze to the boys' section. "Also pick those two boys. They will be a great help for Mike."

"No problem."

After deciding all that, Kevin left the training room. Many girls saw that and disappointed. They were hoping that he could stay for a tad longer.

"I'm resting," Misae finally gave up after two rounds. Only Alice was trying harder once more before the three of them waited for the lesson to finish. Kanae used the time to run around the field once again while the other two just talked with each other.

Before long, the training time was over and the first years walked out of the place one by one. Some students deliberately waited for a longer time because they wanted to catch the sight of the second year. Not long after that, a few second years started to come.

One of them noticed the group of girls and approached them. "Girls, do you want to help me a bit?"

"What is it?" the leader, Amanda, asked unreservedly.

"There's an annoying first year, I want you to do something for me. Don't worry, I'll take care of the other things."

Amanda thought about it for a moment. "Tell us who it is first, and then I'll decide that."

The second-year spoke the name and the leader immediately agreed. They talked for some time until the other second years started to come to the field.
