While looking at my stats, Julia finally came out of the women's locker room.

Her hair was wet and it gave off a sweet apple smell.

"We can go now, Thanks for waiting" she smiled tenderly.

"No problem, while I was waiting I tried to join a club, but it was a failure, haha" I laughed at myself.

"A failure?". She looked at me strangely. "What club did you try to join?"

"To the club of TaeKwonDo, but apparently the teacher didn't like me at all"

"Ahhh, that makes sense. That guy, the coach, is an idiot, he behaves as if he were the owner of the gym. But don't worry. If you still want to join the TaeKownDo club, you still have an opportunity. We don't have only that idiot's club, there is also a secondary club that starts in an hour … Although, now that I think a little better about it, I don't think it will help you because the activities took place very late" Explained Julia as we continued to make our way to her home.

We didn't talk much. Like the night before, we enjoyed the company of each other in silence.

"The truth is that it serves me well! Thank you very much Julia" Exclaimed, anticipating the face of that idiot who mock me before, when he saw me in the other club and participating in the tournament (in which to participate I had to be part of one of the gym clubes).

"I'm glad it's useful for you" she smiled. "We are here, thank you very much for taking the time to accompany me again… For some reason I feel very safe when I am with you haha" (E/N: why haha and not jaja xD) (Author note: because i am trying to adapt my laugh to the English one ja-… *cough, cough*haha). she blushed. "Goodbye Alex, see you tomorrow at school" she said goodbye and quickly entered her house.

After leaving her safe at home, I retraced my steps to the gym one more time.

There was still a long time until the next class of TaeKwonDo with the other teacher began, so, to take advantage of my time, I approached the part where there were physical training devices such as weights, running machines, parallel bars etc. I was preparing to do some warm-up exercises.

I was anxious to try my newly acquired TaeKwonDo skills.

First I tried several basic forms and then I increased the difficulty.

Suddenly.

Ding!

"Alert, The physical capacity of the host isn't enough to execute the most advanced movements of the TaeKownDo, It is recommended to the host to exercise daily and prepare his body properly"

'You must be kidding,' I sighed. 'Well, it makes sense. After all, a certain level of physical stamina and flexibility is required to practice martial arts correctly. '

Knowing this, I stopped my training in forms, and went to one of the devices to exercise a little. I had made the decision to every Day, return immediately after sending Julia home, to train my body before each class. In this way I would use my time to the fullest.

I spend the remaining time until the next class arrives, doing weights, running and stretching.

When the coach arrived, I stopped my activity and addressed him directly, this time with more confidence and a better attitude than when I spoke with that bastard previously.

"Hello teacher, I would like to join your TaeKwonDo class"

He looked surprised that someone wanted to join the club at this time of year. After all, we were already in the middle of July.

"Of course there is no problem" he replied instantly. "What's your name? Do you have any experience with TaeKwonDo?" he asked.

"My name is Alex. And the truth is that when I was 8 years old I started to practice, but some years ago I had to retire due to some family problems, so I feel out of shape" I lied shamelessly, but it was the best thing that came to my mind and also I didn't have to prepare an explaination of my sudden 'talent' in this martial art.

"It's a pleasure Alex. My name is Kim, my father is Korean, and I learned everything from him. I'll be happy to have you in my class…" then he hesitate a moment before continuing. "Unfortunately, I must inform you that I probably can't keep the club for long, Carter (E/N: more like baka coach), who is in charge of the other class, has been taking my best practitioners. And the gym informed me that if I do not get good results in the mixed martial arts tournament next month, they will close the club" you could see the sadness in his eyes. Apparently, being a teacher here was very important to him.

"I understand" I said looking down, I could understand how the teacher felt. But then I encouraged myself and with a confidence that I didn't think I was capable of until that moment, I answered. "Don't worry Master Kim, if all you need is a good position in the tournament, I will help you achieve it"

Ding!

"Main mission completed – Reward = Exp +10, Points +2"

Ding!

"You have gone up Lvl"

"Reward for leveling up = Points +10

"New main mission: Help the TaeKownDo club to stay open"

Suddenly the teacher's face lit up, showing the joy of having finally found a student who understood him and who wanted to improve and reach high on the training path.

"Thank you very much boy" he said. "Okay, it's time to start with the class"

'Hey? What's happening here?' i Suddenly notice something.

"Master Kim, When will my companions arrive? " I asked.

"There are no other students beside you, they all left when I told them that the club would close if we did not get good results in the tournament" he explain with some sadness in his voice.

I didn't know what to say about that.

"Okay, it doesn't matter, let's do our best" i proclaim more to myself than to the Master to hear it.

I gathered all my determination and closed my eyes for a second.

When I opened them again, that doubtful and scared look into my eyes, had almost completely disappeared. And a new light shone in them.

'This is the beginning, I will definitely make a change this time'.
