The course has been decided. A few days later, Mr. Hayashi made a contract and came to school again. Then he left saying that he wanted to say hello to his parents and wanted them to tell him a convenient day.

I already told my mother. At first, I was told that it would be better to go to school clearly, but I managed to convince him.

I didn't like high school life in Boys' Love, so I tried my best to convince him. After that, you should do preparatory work for high school classes every day.

I remember graduating from high school once, but I don't remember high school lessons in social life...

Therefore, if you do not study hard with a sense of review, you will fall to zero.

... the importance of studying is understood when you grow up.

Well, I've decided where I'm going to go, so I'm afraid I'll ask Mr. Steel Castle if he can teach me the self-defense technique I was thinking about before.

As I got down to the living room, Mr. Steel Castle was just cleaning the kitchen area.

"Ah, Steel Castle. Could you do me a favor when that's over?

"Amber, I don't need a title. Please call me Maria."

That's what they always say with no expression. But somehow I seem dissatisfied...

Actually, I was told to call me by my nickname before. However, it wasn't long before I met him, so I didn't call him because he was resistant, but it was time for me to feel stubborn.

"Ah, okay. From now on, let me call you Maria. Best regards."

Yes, thank you again

Her face is expressionless, but her voice plays a little. I wonder if this is the right answer.

"I'm sorry, but I was wondering if you could spare me some time when it's done."

"Yes, I'm fine. I'll be done in about five minutes, so please wait a little longer."

"Thank you."

Listening to the words, I sat on the sofa in the living room and put on the TV. Just on the screen was Super Arts, the most popular sport in the world.

Super Arts is a combat technique that takes place within a range delimited by a special device, roughly in a circle about 100 meters in diameter.

What distinguishes this fight greatly from that of the previous life is that the battle that takes place here is not just a blow, but a battle that is being fought using magic. This fighter also wears a special device, narrowing down a vast area of the field. As I mentioned earlier, it seems to be using magic. Because Super Arts athletes can shatter big rocks with their bare hands or run up walls vertically. Some athletes attack with flames or water. Exactly magical. And the use of weapons is probably different from the martial arts of the previous life.

This super art is also very popular with men, and professionals in this sport are very popular with men.

This is why many women yearn to become professionals in this sport.

The TV rang the buzzer at the end of the game, and the game we were playing now was settled by KO.

In the end, he got a blow to his stomach and blew up for tens of meters. It's very powerful. I know it's going to be popular, and I like it too...

But I hadn't noticed before, but you're alive and well... Special equipment is amazing...

With that in mind, Maria calls out. Looking at the time, it was exactly five minutes old.

"Thank you for your patience. What can I do for you?

"Yeah, Maria was a First Class Guard Officer, right?

"Yes, I will protect you, Amber."

"Eh, thank you...."

"Naturally."

"But I'm not always with you, so I want to be able to protect myself, and I want you to teach me self-defense or something."

"... it's really important to have a defensive technique. Okay, I'll let you know if you don't mind."

"Thank you, I'm running every morning, so I think I'm pretty fit."

Well then, let's teach in the garden.

"Okay."

When I go to the garden, Maria tells me something important. Speak out in front of you.

"What do you think is the most important thing to do to protect yourself?

"What is it? Like power or tricks?

"No, it's the mind. You can call it readiness. I often call it a mind trick, but the most important thing in this is the mind."

Of course, the last two are important, Maria says.

"I mean, you want me to be strong?

Yes, that's right.

"But I want you to tell me what you said about defeating someone who attacked me like this...."

"It's very important to train your mind because beating or hurting other people is very stressful.... well, it's important, but it's very simple." I'll take care of them. "Don't bother, don't hesitate, that's all."

"Is that all?"

"Yes, if you hesitate in practice, it will be a big gap. If you get attacked, don't hesitate to take it down."

"Okay."

"Now, shall we go to practice? Please take this first."

Say that and give me what you took from somewhere.

It felt heavier than the actual weight.

…………………………………………

"What's the matter?"

"What am I...."

That's what I heard. I think my eyes were probably empty.

"Eh, a knife?

True, the knife that was given earlier was about 30 centimeters in length.

…………

Maria, who had doubts about me in silence, spoke out convinced that she was ”ahh”.

"Too big to carry?

No, that's not it!

Without realizing my thoughts, Maria keeps talking.

"If you are attacked by a violent woman, don't hesitate to fight back."

"... eh?

"If you have a weapon, you will blow up some technical differences."

"What? I mean, stab me if I get attacked...."

"Yes, as I said earlier, don't hesitate to fight back. If they know we're serious, even if they don't, they'll suck their ass. You can run or chase."

…………

"?... oh, it's okay, because men are allowed to carry blades for their own safety, so you can't use firearms."

That said, I looked a little bitter with an expressionless face.

Shit... it's not what I thought it was.

I managed to convince them to teach me normal self-defense techniques.....
