"Do it right! God!' roman exclaims in frustration as I make another attempt to block a hit. I am unfortunately  back training at his house, roman is relentless today! He wants to make sure i'm prepared because the arena isn't too far away. Meaning he's pushing me to my absolute limits!

He swings his gloved fist forward, I dunk with my hands covering my face, causing his fist to swoosh over my head.

"Oh my god! How do you expect to survive if all you're gonna do is cower!" he questions with a frustrated glare.

I huff in agitation "It's not like I signed up for this.." I mutter. Which earns me a harsh stare.

"I have a better idea.." he trails off with a smirk, his eyes gleaming.

Oh no, his ideas are never good.

"I think ethlania would be happily to offer her help." he states with a proud nod.

I shake my head profusely "No! Are You kidding me?! She'll tear me apart like a ravenous wolf on an Innocent baby rabbit!" I exclaim with a frown.

He snorts " You're not anything like a bunny, more of a pig." he corrects.

"No! Anyone but her!" I plead , grasping onto his arm in desperation.

He scowls, shaking my hand off his toned arms.
"Okay, I'm getting tired of you, I think cal should have his turn." he grumbles,causing me to sigh in relief. Cal. I like cal, it's better than this infuriating devil.

"Cal!" roman shouts across the gym to cal,who is talking with benji in the lounge area.

His head snaps up " Yeah?" he replies with a lazy smile.

"Your turn to train her! She has much ability as a blind cow!"he shakes his head, stomping over to benji.

I narrow my eyes at his retreating figure. I see cal nod, making his way to me, I'm currently near the punching bag equipment.

"Roxanne, how are you?" he greets, slinging his big muscled arm around my shoulder causing my face to turn red.

"I'm okay.." I manage to squeak out. Having someone shirtless this close is overwhelming, especially for a girl like me.

"Sorry." he replies with a sheepish smile, removing his arm.

"I can see roman isn't working with you right, hopefully by the time I am finished with you, you'll at least know all the basics." he cuts straight to buisness.

"Yeah, It's not going too well." I sigh in defeat.

"Look, I won't let anything happen to you, I can't imagine how you must feel being throwed into our world, But by the time your finished today, things will look better." he encourages.

I fake a smile, but I don't feel confident, I'm pretty sure i'll be flattened like a fly during the arena. There's no way that I can turn into a dangerous weapon such as ethlania is.There's a month or two until the arena, I don't have much time.

*****

I pant heavily, wiping the sweat off of my forehead.

"I think you're done training for today, I've got to say, I'm a far better trainer than roman." Cal gloats with a smug smile.

I glare at him, of course he's bragging about being a better trainer, I thought he was nice and laid back but no, not with training. I swear my limbs are about to fall off.

Yes I know far much more than I did before, but it's hard! I can't imagine actually hurting someone with my tiny fist. This is only the  basic training, I can't imagine the extreme training.
