Sophie laid back after finishing another set, the dark stains on her gym shorts and hoodie a sign of her hard work. She took deep breaths as sweat dripped down the side of her face and onto the floor. She hated this part. Sophie had always lacked the discipline to train properly. Until she joined LAW, her fantasies of her favorite heroines were the only thing that motivated her. They still motivated her now, but less so. Despite having made it to LAW, they seemed more like fantasies than ever.
Sure she had a few matches with babyfaces like she had hoped for, but so what? It hadn't amounted to anything. She hadn't even faced a proper heroine yet, only a sidekick. After all the work she put into her role, someone had still thought her so insignificant that they sent their student to face her. And now nothing. For some reason she just stopped getting scheduled.
That was the most frustrating part. She felt like she had given a good display of skill, but being skilled isn't everything. There was always the entertainment aspect. Was she not enough of a villain to deserve the spotlight? Was she going to be stuck fighting sidekicks forever? What was all the work she'd put into her act for?
Sophie sat up and clenched her fist in frustration, but as she looked around the gym she started to calm down. Her eyes darted between the different women in the middle of their exercises, fixing on each for a moment to "appreciate" them, distracting her from her thoughts. That was another thing that motivated her to train. She got to ogle at a bunch of pretty ladies.
