Stealing Spree
chapter-284

After spending a satisfying hour together at the love hotel, Sena and I finally arrived at the Boxing Gym albeit a bit later than what she asked for.

Because of that, Coach Ayu had her eyebrows knitted together as soon as we appeared at the gym. With her legs crossed and two sets of boxing gloves on both of her sides, she tapped it twice which made the girl who's clinging onto my arm gulp down in fear.

"I'm sorry Coach Ayu, it's my fault that we're late. You don't have to be mad at her." I said to take the blame off Sena.

Well, it's really my fault that we had to extend our time for more than 15 minutes. Sena specifically dressed that lovely for me, it's a shame not to savor every minute with her.

"Onoda-kun… Back then, you're too strict with her. Why are you taking her side now?" With her reprimanding eyes shot towards me, Coach Ayu dropped a question. "And you girl, go and change to your training clothes."

Why, huh? I know I can still be strict with her during her training. However, now that she's not just a girl I stole from someone, having the time to spoil her has been added.

"I'm still strict with her Coach, just that, this time, it's my fault."

"It's fine, Ruki. I'll go in and change first."

Sena tugged at my sleeves and took her bag off my shoulder before going in to the changing room.

"I'll go with you."

I tried chasing after her but Coach Ayu stood up and blocked my way.

While shaking her head, she said, "No, if I let you go with her, you two will take more time again. Stay here and let's talk about that job I offered to you first."

She's not wrong. We will surely take up more time there, just like the last time.

Since she's already in a bad mood, I didn't push it anymore. I opened my bag and pulled out a folder containing the papers required for the job. Akane carefully organized it for me even though I told her that I could do that myself.

"Alright, here are the requirements. Please tell me if I miss something."

Coach Ayu took it and checked it one by one. After a minute or two, she closed it and put it down on her seat. She placed the pair of gloves on top of it to prevent it from falling.

"It's good enough. You did put your and your parents' contact number. I'll pass it to Hisa-jii tomorrow and you should expect a call by Wednesday, remind your parents as well."

"Noted. Well then, do I need to prepare something?"

"Not really, you only need to come up with a proper training regimen for beginners. Send it to me before Friday so I can review it. By the way, didn't you tell me what you wanted to do last week? Beat up those kids to stop them from wooing your Sena, am I right?"

Ah. Right. That's what I said before… If their intention in joining was about that, I'll work them out that all they would be able to think about was to be better at boxing. Let's see… I might use bait for that to work. I need to satisfy them to let them continue taking the class after all.

"You're right. Whoever will eye my Sena, I will transform them to love boxing more than girls."

"Now I look forward to more boxing idiots that will join the gym. As for your pay, I already told you that we will pay you upfront. The tuition will be per lesson and you will get half of that. If your students did well or you reach a high number of them, you'll also have a bonus. If someone from your class signs up for membership to the gym then you'll also get a little kickback from it. Since it's a beginner class and you don't really have the right qualifications like a license, the price is a bit low, around 2000 to 3000 yen per lesson." Coach Ayu explained.

Realistically speaking as long as 10 kids sign up for it, I'll get around 10000 yen in a day. The lesson will not take a whole day and at most 4 to 6 hours. It will not make me a millionaire in a day but as a student without any other source of income, it's great enough that I can now have enough for our daily necessities without using the allowance money my parents still give me every week.

Besides, I'm not just here for the money but also for the experience of teaching someone. I already ruled out being a career boxer which Coach Ayu suggested so this is the best I can get in the meantime.

To make sure that those kids will learn something from my lesson, I already added basic boxing exercises and footwork exercises in my daily training since last week after taking up the offer. I did that to prepare for this, this way, I will not be called out as someone not-a-boxer teaching boxing class.

"I understand. That will be put in a contract, right?"

"Of course, I'm just lifting your spirits up by telling you the benefits you will receive. What do you think? Do you still not want to become a boxer?"

"I already answered that, coach."

"Well then, go and follow your girl. Get her help to wear that." Coach Ayu pointed at the other boxing gloves.

"Why?"

"Onoda-kun. I'm the one vouching for you for the gym, I need to see your real prowess or I will be embarrassing myself if you're not up to par. Although you said you didn't have proper footwork, I saw last week how you're too stable on your feet. A simple footwork will increase your skill by leaps and bounds."

"I'm using my feet to kick though?"

"Idiot. Just go and change. I'll wait for you in the ring."

Incensed by what I said. She picked up the gloves and threw them towards me before pushing me towards the direction of the changing room.

The other members of the gym who heard our conversation laughed upon seeing that. I don't know what they are laughing about, Coach Ayu raising her voice like that or the way she looked defeated?

Once I stepped into the changing room, Sena was already waiting for me there, she's already about to leave earlier but when she heard our conversation, she held off on going out to wait for me.

Putting my things in her locker, Sena watched me change.

When I asked her why she's still watching despite already seeing me naked earlier, she just answered that I looked sexy doing that.

This girl is turning naughty again and with her mood up the roofs after our stroll date and the time in the love hotel, she's in high spirits.

She's even more excited to see me on the ring and silently whispered how she wanted me to beat Coach Ayu.

Due to that, I teased her about how I will not be lenient on her training today which made the girl deflate and tried to use her seduction skill to change my mind. Of course, I accepted it and kissed her passionately before saying no.

After that, Sena helped me wear the gloves while pouting cutely as she tried to appeal to me.

Upon seeing that, I couldn't help but kiss her again before we went out and saw a crowd already surrounding the ring where Coach Ayu was waiting.

"Here he is."

"Let's see. I kept on hearing things about him. For a kid to be recognized by Ayu… he must be really good."

"Aren't you here last week? He made short work of our Sena."

"Huh? Tell me more."

Upon seeing me, conversations like those started to enter our ears. I thought they're boxers, not gossipers.

"I don't think last week became that big of a deal," I muttered softly wherein Sena answered with a giggle on my side.

"You're a no-name and you beat me like that. Even if you're a guy, they will not believe it if they didn't see it in their eyes."

I see. I guess that makes sense. Back then I'm only going to this gym specifically for Sena. Apart from Hisa-jii, Coach Ayu and some other members, I don't know anyone here or rather I don't bother knowing anyone else.

"I should go back to being low key."

"I'm afraid you'll always fail at that now. My Ruki is always amazing after all." Sena giggled again as we arrived next to the ring, with the crowd parting for us to pass through.

"Oi. You two, stop flirting and let him get up. The crowd is waiting." Coach Ayu who's already wearing a headgear and gloves bumped her fist while smirking as she called out to us.

Even if that woman is injured on her knee, she can still box for a round or two and she's honestly a pro if it's only about skills.

I guess I'm really up for a beating…
