Training with Sano-san is hell but Karina is willing to go through it. By the end of the week, her body is aching all over but at least she now knows how to kick and punch properly.

It's a nice Monday morning and she decides to finally go back to school. Only, she doesn't have her school I.D. It's with that red-headed stranger she met at the department store when she was picking a dress for Draken-san's birthday.

What was his name again?

Right.

Sam.

Karina calls his cell phone before going out of her house and is told to meet the boy at his school.

He's already in high school, Karina observes as she waits just outside the private academy. The boy's school looks new and pristine, obviously for the rich. Karina suddenly feels out of place.

"Karina-chan!" A male's voice calls her. She looks at where it's coming from and sees Sam grinning at her. "Where do you want to head over, my sweet lady? The arcade? Cafe?"

Eh?

"A-actually, I'm just here for my I.D..."

"Oh, you break my heart. How can you so easily reject me?" He acts as if his chest hurts.

He's a bit... weird. Even the way he speaks is strange. Karina speaks again, "Uhm, Sam-san. My I.D. please."

The boy fishes her I.D. from his pants' pocket but holds it high enough so she couldn't reach it. "If you want this back, you need to spend time with me first." There is something sinister with the way he smiles and Karina knows he's planning something.

But what?

Karina is insignificant.

What would a private high school student want with her?

"Hoy, Sam, you bastard!"

Four high school students approach Sam and her at the school's gates. Metal bats in their hands, they look really pissed off. They look like they're from another school, wearing bright-colored shirts inside their gakuran. They are also in black baggy pants.

"Banji," Sam recognizes the leader of the group.

The angry delinquent spits on the floor and then shouts, "How dare you run away from my little sister after you made her pregnant!"

The red-haired teen shakes his head. "I told you. That's not me."

"Liar!"

"Coward!"

"Bastard!" The other three chime in.

"That's the problem with you, Sam," the "big brother" walks closer, "you don't take responsibility for your actions when you fuck up. I'm going to teach you a lesson. I'll beat you into a pulp and make you say sorry!" Suddenly, he dashes toward Sam, aiming to hit him.

Oh no!

Without thinking, Karina places herself between the two, shielding Sam-san. She says, "Stay back, Sam-san. I know how to fight."

That's not totally true but not completely false. Maybe she can make use of what she learned from her training now.

Using her feet, she kicks the opponent's arm to the side before he can hit her with his metal bat. He loses his grip and the bat flies away from his hands.

Nice!

She can do it!

Karina wants nothing more than to show her improvement to Sano-san.

"Fuck. What's the deal with this girl? Are you Sam's new bitch?" The big boy cradles his arm.

"I-I'm..." Karina wasn't sure what to say.
