(Charlie's POV)

"So why am I here? Couldn't Sae just go with you?" Ito crossed her arms looking at you with dissatisfaction.

"Sae, he's not bothered going and I don't want to be stuck here with Chris!" You whined as she continued to look at you, pissed off.

You were going to say something that might or might not get you killed.

"I mean hey! Maybe you do need to go to the. . . gym."

She widened her eyes at your response, it was as if it was the most unbelievable thing she had ever heard from you.

"I'm going to give you a chance to soak in what you just said to me. . . and rephrase that sentence of yours." Ito glared at you.

You gulped hearing this rare side of Ito. She truly was scary.

Think brain! What would be something you could say that would make you forget about this? Wait you had just the right thing to say.

"Hey now when I actually think about it, you don't even need the gym. . . you look stunning in that gym wear."

She started to loosen up and you could a tint of red on her face, you sighed to yourself thinking that was it but she had other plans.

"What was that for!"

She continuously punched you in the chest, which felt like nothing it was kind of funny.

"You think you can just make me blush and get away with it?"

You nodded your head slowly, fearing for your life.

"Well lucky for you it did. Come on it's time to go in now."

(TIMESKIP)

"OWAHH!" You had just pulled 240kg off the ground with all your max, a one rep max as Chris stood up giving you a standing ovation, while Ito looked away from her phone recording as her jaw was wide open. She may have not gone to the gym all the time, but she most certainly would after seeing your performance of yours.

You finally dropped the rack as Chris slapped you on the back, giving you a thumbs up.

"For a teenager that's really impressive, not many can reach that number at your age, well done!"

Chris went up to the rack, ready to position himself to pull 240kg you were quite surprised he was going to do this, as his physique looked more athletic than strong so you asked him.

"Are you really going to lift that?"

He smirked at you. "Watch this Charlie."

He immediately pulled it from the ground, at first you thought it was his one-rep max, but now he was doing that for reps, finally dropping the rack to the ground.

"The first thing you need to know about me is that this physique I have isn't just athletic it's also massive strength and you could be that as well if you train with me long enough."

"I defiantly will take that offer of training with you until your break ends."

Chris smiled at you as he grabbed his duffel bag. "You've already gotten drastically better from this training but you're still not there yet. I'm going to head off now and enjoy each other's company you two." Chris waved at the both of you, winking at you specifically.

Ito dawdled over to you, with her hands behind her back as she looked at you, seemingly wanting something from you, as you glanced back at her.

"Could I try whatever you were doing?" She asked, smiling in response.

"Sure let me unrack the weights for you."

(TIMESKIP)

"Alright 60kg should be enough for you to pull, now let me teach you what to do for the right form."

You had a 30-minute talk with Ito, explaining what or what not to do, after that, she understood as she positioned herself to pull the rack.

For the first time pulling 60kg, it was pretty good form, so good you probably thought she had already done this before. Finally dropping the rack to the ground.

"Wow, that felt great! I'd like to see you do any better!" She jumped up in the air, as she pointed at you.

"Alright, then I guess it's my turn." You stretched your legs and arms as you walked up to the bar, you thought you'd be a troll with this as you begin lifting yourself, making yourself act as if you were shaking really hard and then. . . BLAM pulling as quickly as possible.

Her face which was once with a smirk turned extremely disappointed.

"Showoff." She muttered she looked over at her phone but this time it wasn't one of those usual looks she had, it was a look filled with shock and surprise. You couldn't tell if she was sad or happy.

"Hey is everything alright?"

"Yeah in fact it's better than just alright. . . My mum is coming here!" Her eyes glistened, and you were blown away by this look of hers. It was beautiful but you'd keep that to yourself.

"Your mum? I've only ever heard your dad talk about her, and I've never met her before, who is she."

She looked happy to answer your question.

"Well, that's because she deals with international affairs. . . I'd say she works harder than my dad and to add to that she's not of Japanese origin so it makes sense." Ito had just casually blurted out that her mum was not Japanese, meaning that she wasn't even fully Japanese.

Your brain exploded after learning this.

"Wait. . . so you're telling me that Japanese isn't the only thing you are, you're mixed?"

"Well yeah I am, you never asked and just for your information I never told anyone, and when I mean by anyone I mean anyone even Ruqa and Kaeda." She said.

"So what's the other side of you then." You asked her curiously, it seems she had expected this question as she chuckled.

"That's a secret you'll find out soon enough. . . I forgot to almost mention this but the girls wanted to have a party and asked if you wanted to come."

"Girls as in Mei and Naomi?"

"No not just them. . . It seems like people from the student council are going to be there."

"Student council? What do they want with me."

Ito facepalmed as she looked at you once more. "You really are dense aren't you Mr Popular, you can bring Sae along as well."

"Sure I'll ask Sae then to join along."

Now it was time for you to do another see but with this time a bit more. . .

Power.
