Who will it be, a new rival, a new student, a new friend, all together?

[skip-stop]

Charlotte raised her left eyebrow slightly when she heard Jenner's words about unusual holds. She guessed exactly what the blonde was talking about. LAW was known not only for classic and hardcore matches. Hentai matches occupied an equally important place in the hearts of the audience. Although, of course, this area was beyond the interests of the Frenchwoman.

"I don't want to pry, but if you don't like something, then you shouldn't let anyone drag you into it," she said.

People have very different interests and preferences. Therefore, Charlotte saw no point in condemning hentai matches. However, she considered it unacceptable to involve those who were against it. That's why her manager always specified a clause in the contracts, thanks to which there was nothing lewd in Charlotte's matches.

"Hmm?" Charlotte drew attention to the equipment offered to her. "No, thank you, I will refuse. Don't worry, I'll be fine."

She didn't mean to sound ungrateful. However, she considered gloves and shin guards to be something like a toothbrush. Too personal stuff. That's why she couldn't accept Jenner's offer.

Finally, they were both in the center of the ring. It seems everything was ready for the start. Jenner decided to warm up her muscles a little more. Charlotte, in turn, did not waste time on this because for her it was not the beginning, but the end of the workout and her muscles did not need warming up. Instead, she pressed her right fist against her outstretched left palm again and bowed to the British woman. Now, not as a greeting, but as a sign of respect before the start of the match.

"I hope we can do without blood," she said, straightening up to her full height. "Ready?"

With this question, the pink-haired woman put her right leg back a step, slightly turning her left side to her sparring partner. She clenched her fists and then raised the right one to the level of her chin, the left one remained at the level of the middle of her torso. Taking her fighting stance, Charlotte briefly nodded to the blonde, and then...

"Ding-Ding-Ding!" She said, after which her gaze became as focused as possible.

[LawHell]

Jenner would nod towards Charlotte as soon as she was ready waiting for the "bell" to ring, she would put her gloved hand out to bump knuckles as a moment of respect towards her opponent, after the bump she would soon have her hands up ready to defend as she would move around Charlotte looking for any points to strike though she would continue to talk with the woman. "I mean your welcome to, truth be told its hard to find people who are willing to speak what they mean..and your right, i know you are....i don't know its just she always been there and partly its my fault, i need to set stronger bounds lines with her."

Jenner would comment before there was a burst of speed as she moved towards Charlotte aiming to throw a combo of a left, right hook with a kick to end the combo as she wanted to really train the skill she was lacking in none the less she did not hold back as she felt that it would be an insult to Charlotte if she had. "Should i just cut her off? or what sit down with her? she like smoke trying to handle her, you know its there but you really cant grab it." Jenner would comment.

Jenner Heart was racing as she was continuing the assault throwing some more punches trying to land any if she would but she would also try keep her guard up but had forgotten some area leaving her sides open with a rookie mistake that was clear as day to a master as the spar would go on.

[skip-stop]

Charlotte bumped fists with Jenner after their sparring officially began. She had nothing against such gestures, although in fact it was more in the style of Astrid. The Frenchwoman herself preferred more traditional ways to express respect to her opponents before the start of the match. Although it didn't matter now.

Concentrating, the pink-haired woman began to move in a circle. Her opponent did the same. Neither of them was in a hurry to attack first, instead they both only studied each other's movements, gradually closing the distance. Charlotte has always considered different ways to start a match. But so far, she had no reason to hurry, since she didn't know much about the blonde. She wanted to try to figure out exactly how Jenner was going to act.

The Frenchwoman was a little confused by the fact that the British woman continued to conduct a conversation. Yes, of course, it wasn't a real match, but it was unusual for Charlotte to talk even during sparring. Although she didn't have a chance to respond to the blonde's words anyway. As soon as Jenner finished speaking, she immediately rushed to the attack.

"She's fast..." thought Charlotte.

When she saw Jenner throw her hard forward, she expected it to be a jab. But she was mistaken, because the trajectory of the blonde's arm clearly indicated a hook. Charlotte took a half step back, allowing the British woman's fist to fly in front of her face. However, Jenner did not stop and sent another hook to Charlotte's head, from which she again dodged with a quick and short step back.

Few people in Jenner's place would risk launching an attack with a hook. A hook is a very powerful punch, but not to start an attack because of the low speed. If the blonde had started the attack with a jab, and continued it with a hook, then Charlotte would have had problems.

Although even after she dodged twice, she didn't get a chance to counterattack, as Jenner threw a classic, but still fast and powerful middle kick at Charlotte's left side. The Frenchwoman moved her left arm to the left, thanks to which Jenner's kick crashed into her forearm, and not into her ribs.

"Gghhhh..." a strangled groan escaped through her teeth.

She would certainly have gotten a lot more pain if she hadn't blocked that kick, but it still hurt. Kicks were Charlotte's strongest weapon and she knew perfectly well that blocking kicks with forearms was a bad idea, because sooner or later the bones would just break.

"You should talk less," Charlotte replied shortly to the blonde's words.

And it seems that Jenner decided to take this advice. She rushed towards Charlotte again with the clear intention of using her fists. But this time the pink-haired woman did not stay on the defensive. And as soon as the fist of the British woman flew into her head, she immediately took a quick step forward.

Charlotte intended to make a pendulum movement with her torso down and to the right in order not only to evade Jenner's punch, but also to disappear from the blonde's field of view for at least a second. And if she had succeeded, it is unlikely that something would have prevented her from sending a left knee strike to the blonde's stomach. She was going to immediately send a right cross to Jenner's left cheek after that to push her back and cool her ardor after such a dynamic start.

[LawHell]

"Sorry...im just use to training and speaking at the same time you seem to be a wise one is all.." She Jenner would continue trying to land more strike on the french woman she would soon find some landing on the forearms missing there mark but sill with force, Jenner found the woman to be defiantly the cut above of what she was use to in this style of combat.

"Maybe i could hire or make an agreement to be trained." she would think to herself for a moment as there training would continue.

Though as she was thinking she would soon see Charlotte's movements that would through her off as she would lose track of the woman with a painful moment later as the knee would hit her abs followed up by the right cross to her cheek causing the judo fighter to stagger backwards as she would try get her guard back up ready as there was some room between them with Jenner working hard to recover.

"dam, hell of a strike.." Jenner would comment as she would Charlotte carefully before moving towards her once more.

Jenner would move with her guard up before trying to go for a left jab followed with a right but her goal was to get near to get one hand on one of Charlotte's forearm and another around her waist before aiming to hip toss her down to the mat with some force behind it only to try follow up with a light axe kick to the woman's gut, though that if she got lucky with her plan and timing of execution.

"Would i be able to book classes with you?" Jenner would ask in the middle of there execution of her planned attack on the french woman, as it was still on her mind at that moment, Jenner was already building a good sweat up as she found this striking style to be a tad harder on her body due to movements she was still not use to.

[skip-stop]

With her incessant talking, Jenner reminded Astrid and Nerissa a little. Charlotte's best friends also liked to talk during sparring sessions. The Frenchwoman herself did not approve of such things. She preferred to be silent both during training and during real matches.

Having managed to bypass the blonde's defense, Charlotte first rammed her sparring partner's stomach, and then, taking advantage of the fact that Jenner froze, sent a hard punch into her cheek. The blonde staggered back a few steps, but managed to keep her balance, remaining on her feet.

Jenner decided to comment on the Frenchwoman's attack, while Charlotte herself only took her fighting stance again, preparing to continue their sparring. It was hard for her to move, considering that she had been working for more than twenty minutes at her maximum before Jenner appeared. But still, she hoped that she would have enough strength not to screw up.

The Frenchwoman's eyes narrowed slightly when the blonde rushed into a new attack. Charlotte began to sway on her toes, determined to catch another good moment for a counterattack. Noticing the approaching fist, the Frenchwoman took half a step back, dodging the punch.

Charlotte was surprised when the blonde quickly changed the position of her torso in order to send the right jab after the left one. The jab is the fastest punch, but it can only be used with the hand that is slightly forward, so the Frenchwoman was caught off guard in a sense.

In order to reduce the damage, she covered her head with her left hand. And although the effectiveness of Jenner's punch decreased, apparently it was exactly what the British woman was counting on. Before Charlotte could do anything, Jenner grabbed her forearm and wrapped her waist.

Charlotte's eyes widened as Jenner turned sideways to her and then threw the Frenchwoman over herself, demonstrating her judo skills. The pink-haired woman's body collapsed onto the mat with a loud bang, and her face twisted in pain. Even if it wasn't the hardest throw, but it still hurt.

"Gh!!" She gasped.

However, this was not the end. Asking the question, Jenner raised her leg high. For Charlotte, who considered kicks her best weapon, it was not difficult to understand exactly what the blonde was up to. Therefore, when Jenner began to lower her leg in order to kick Charlotte's bare stomach with her heel, the pink-haired woman automatically threw both hands forward and up. She stopped the blonde's kick by grabbing her foot in the heel and toes area.

"Really?" Charlotte asked curtly with some disbelief. "You don't even know me."

She had never heard of martial arts school owners going to each other's classes. However, the Frenchwoman had much more important things to do than chat with the blonde. Still holding Jenner's foot, she intended to throw both her legs up in order to wrap them around her sparring partner's leg.

And if she succeeded, she would immediately send her legs back to the mat in order to force Jenner to fall on her back. The rest would not require anything special from Charlotte. If she had managed to throw the British woman on the mat, she would have strained her legs with all her might so that they, like two pythons, squeezed the blonde's thigh. At the same time, she would begin to put pressure on the captured foot, thereby using one of the simplest, but at the same time very painful submission holds aimed at harming both the muscles of the entire leg and the knee joint. A kneebar hold.

[LawHell]

Jenner's attention was fixed on Charlotte, watching her fall hard to the mat, just as she had hoped. However, Jenner couldn't afford to let her guard down, knowing that a skilled fighter like the French woman would seize any opportunity. Just as Jenner was about to unleash the next phase of her attack, luck sided with Charlotte, who spotted an opening and swiftly capitalized on it without hesitation.

In no time, Jenner found herself on the ground, feeling Charlotte's grip tighten around her body. Both fighters were now tangled on the floor, with the French woman maintaining a firm hold on Jenner's foot, securing it between her own legs, clearly setting up for a submission hold.

The excruciating pain surged through Jenner's leg as Charlotte locked in a perfectly executed Kneebar, targeting her muscles and knee joint. Despite the discomfort, the British fighter attempted to reach over and throw a punch, hoping to break free from Charlotte's grasp. However, after a few moments passed, Jenner reluctantly tapped the mat, signaling her submission to Charlotte in this round. She understood that this was just a friendly spar and not worth risking injury to herself.

Jenner waited to see if Charlotte would release her immediately or if she had a bit of a mean streak in her, prolonging the pain for a few more moments. Despite the discomfort, Jenner continued tapping and spoke the words, "I submit..." to Charlotte.

After enduring the pain until Charlotte's grip loosened, Jenner remained laid back for a moment, letting out a small chuckle and sporting a smile on her face. She then sat up to face Charlotte, acknowledging that she had lost the round. However, Jenner wasn't afraid of losing, as she recognized the valuable lessons she could learn from it to improve herself. This experience confirmed her belief that engaging with Charlotte was a wise decision.

"It's true that I don't know you, but based on what I've seen in this spar so far, I can tell there's much I can learn from you," Jenner commented with a smile, gently rubbing her recovering leg from the effects of the knee bar. She couldn't help but give Charlotte a brief admiring glance, accompanied by a playful grin. "Has anyone ever told you that you have nice legs?" she asked, letting out a small chuckle. Jenner appreciated the French woman's well-toned and strong physique for a moment before shifting her focus. "But yes, I genuinely believe I could gain a lot from training with you, if you're willing," she added.

With a swift motion, Jenner rose to her feet, rolling her neck in a warm-up gesture, preparing herself for the upcoming round with Charlotte. She exuded a determined energy, ready to face the French woman once again.

[skip-stop]

Charlotte had no doubt that Jenner would resist after she locked her in the submission hold. And she was right. As soon as the first waves of pain released the blonde, she immediately used her free leg to try to kick the Frenchwoman. However, Charlotte was ready for this and as soon as Jenner threw her foot to her chest, she simply jerked to the side, both dodging the kick and putting additional pressure on her sparring partner's knee joint.

Although the pink-haired woman was wrong about one thing. She was sure Jenner would at least try to get to the ropes. Yes, they agreed on simplified rules for this sparring, but still any fighter has pride and Charlotte thought the blonde would try. However, this did not happen. Instead of resisting the pain, Jenner tapped, admitting defeat.

At the same moment, the martial arts master relaxed her arms and legs, thereby freeing her sparring partner. She didn't have a single reason to keep her grip tight. She would never have done so even if she had felt not the warmest emotions for her opponent. Charlotte believed there was no place for such dirty things in the ring.

Like Jenner, she took a sitting position. And although she was ready for a new round, she didn't see the need to rush. So she decided to just wait for the blonde to get her knee in order. Besides, she was still waiting for an answer from her. It was really strange for Charlotte that Jenner so suddenly asked to train her. The Frenchwoman smiled slightly when Jenner said that sparring helped her get to know Charlotte better.

"How interesting," she said, still smiling. "It's not every day you can hear something like this, as far as I know, most of LAW fighters have a much less philosophical approach to such things." The pink-haired woman thought for a few moments, as if making a decision. "Well, so far I won't promise you anything, we need to finish our sparring first."

She was about to get up when suddenly Jenner said something else. And even though Charlotte was still as focused as possible, she blinked several times in surprise. Nice legs? It even seemed to her that she misunderstood the blonde's words. Did she really mean that? Judging by her intonation and the expression on her face, yes, that's right, she meant exactly what she said.

"I... no... never..." she said, losing confidence in her voice for a moment. "Thanks..."

This caused a slight blush to appear on Charlotte's face. She really had never heard something like that, especially from a woman. Her best friend, Nerissa, has said several times that she would love to lick Charlotte's feet if Charlotte would do the same for her. But this was said solely in order to test the nerves of the Frenchwoman for strength. Now the situation was completely different. She wasn't sure exactly what Jenner meant by those words, but in any case, it was much nicer to hear it from her than from Nerissa.

"Yeah, sure, let's continue..." Charlotte agreed, trying to drive away unnecessary thoughts.

Rising to her feet, the Frenchwoman took a fighting stance, and then took several deep breaths. First of all, she is a fighter. And therefore such words were something otherworldly for her. But even with all that, she was still a woman. And she was pleased with such words. The pink-haired woman shook her head several times, and then her gaze focused on Jenner. Even despite it was only sparring, she wasn't going to let her emotions cloud her mind, because it would inevitably lead to defeat.

[LawHell]

Jenner turned her gaze towards Charlotte, a warm smile spreading across her face as she listened attentively to her words. After absorbing Charlotte's insight, Jenner nodded in agreement. "Well, most law fighters seek glory and fame. Don't get me wrong, I'm also drawn to those things, but I believe in acquiring the necessary skills to earn them. You're absolutely right. Let's embrace this sparring session and enjoy it to the fullest."

As Jenner observed Charlotte, she couldn't help but notice a slight blush tinging her cheeks. Locking eyes with the French woman once again, Jenner approached her with a playful demeanor. "You're welcome." Without warning, Jenner lightly placed her hands on Charlotte's hips, her actions exuding confidence. "Trust in the words and yourself, alright? If not, I might just have to demonstrate it to you." She punctuated her words with a mischievous wink before releasing her hold and moving back to her designated starting area. However, Jenner couldn't resist stealing another glance in Charlotte's direction, leaving no doubt that she was flirting with the charming woman.

Taking a few moments to warm up her body and adjust her outfit, Jenner meticulously checked her Judo belt, ensuring everything was in place. With her preparations complete, she turned her attention back to Charlotte. Adopting a focused fighting stance, Jenner conveyed her readiness for the upcoming spar. She was well aware of Charlotte's impressive skills and the fact that she could potentially serve as her mentor. Jenner didn't want to squander this opportunity, determined to make the most of it.

[skip-stop]

Charlotte was ready to start a new round, but suddenly Jenner began to approach her. Without a fighting stance and without an intention to fight. The Frenchwoman lowered her fists and slightly tilted her head, not understanding what the blonde was up to. It was hardly a trick. But if it wasn't a trick, then why did she decide to approach her?

She got the answer the moment Jenner stopped just a step away from her. The British woman had a playful smile on her face, which slightly alarmed Charlotte. But what happened next was something the pink-haired woman didn't expect at all. Without any warning, Jenner placed her palms on the martial artist's hips. And before Charlotte could keep her composure, a shiver ran through her body.

Of course, she was used to being touched. Body contact during the match is inevitable. Yet, usually it has a completely different nature. It's one thing when a fist bumps into you and a completely different thing when you feel a gentle touch on your skin. It wasn't at all what Charlotte was used to, especially in the ring.

"D... demonstrate?" She stammered, feeling that her face had turned red like a tomato. "What... do you... uf... am..."

Nerissa often teased her with similar methods, but Charlotte always knew that these were nothing more than jokes. Now the situation was completely different. But it wasn't a joke. The mischievous wink she received after Jenner's words was proof of that. Yes, it was definitely flirting. And the main problem was that Charlotte didn't know how to react to it.

She never fell in love. She's never even had a boyfriend or girlfriend. And although sex was in her life, she would have to strain her memory very hard in order to remember exactly when it was. She was firmly convinced that she was simply not cut out for such things. She's a fighter, everything else is just a waste of time. Also... who in their right mind would show sympathy for such a cold woman who prefers to spend time in the gym instead of a beauty salon?

She should thank Jenner for the fact that the blonde did not escalate the situation even more. Instead, the British woman took a few steps back and took her fighting stance, showing that she was ready to start a new round. The pink-haired woman's heart was still pounding at the speed of a jackhammer. And although she tried to take a few deep breaths in order to calm down, her head was still a real mess.

"Let's get started..." trying not to think about what just happened, she said.

Clenching her fists, she raised them again to the level of her chin. She felt strange. She was usually able to maintain her composure regardless of the situation. But she almost completely forgot about being a woman, not a fighter. And because of this, it was difficult for her to collect her thoughts. However, she had no right to just stand still.

Taking another deep breath, the Frenchwoman rushed to Jenner. It was disastrously difficult for her to focus on her movements because of the extra thoughts in her head. Can anyone explain how she should focus on sparring after that? Charlotte moved quickly as if she wanted to close the distance and send a punch in the blonde's face. However, two steps away from Jenner she abruptly shifted her weight to her right leg. Turning slightly to the right, she intended to swing her left leg bent at the knee, and then sharply straighten it in the direction of the British woman's head in order to hit her with a high roundhouse kick!

[LawHell]

Jenner Sky charges towards Charlotte with impressive speed, deftly dodging her roundhouse kick. Seizing the perfect moment, Jenner swiftly executes a takedown, forcefully slamming Charlotte onto her back. If successful, Jenner establishes her dominance as she lands the powerful slam, leaving Charlotte pinned beneath her.

With Charlotte now on her back, Jenner capitalizes on her muscular frame and weight advantage, relishing in her control. With a confident smile, she strategically positions herself, applying deliberate pressure to Charlotte's body. The weight and force make it challenging for Charlotte to escape or regain her footing.

If everything continues to favor Jenner, the spar intensifies as she revels in her dominant position. Skillfully utilizing her weight and leverage, Jenner keeps Charlotte firmly pinned to the mat, enjoying her control over the match.

Jenner's determination fuels her as she gradually tightens the chokehold, relishing in Charlotte's struggle. Each moment showcases Jenner's competitive nature as she aims to force a tap from Charlotte, deriving satisfaction from her opponent's efforts. If there is no tap or escape, Jenner's relentless nature emerges as she increases the pressure on the chokehold, determined to make Charlotte submit to her will. However, should Charlotte fail to tap or escape, there is a risk she could soon be rendered unconscious on the mats.

While Jenner restrains herself from flirting in the midst of the match, she focuses on demonstrating her mastery of her dojo. Using one of her personal favorite techniques, she maintains the chokehold as sweat drips down her body, visibly enjoying their sparring session. If there is a tap out, Jenner immediately releases the choke, but remains mounted on Charlotte with a grin. However, if the tables are turned and Charlotte is rendered unconscious, Jenner swiftly gets up and rolls Charlotte onto her back, ensuring her legs are elevated to aid blood flow. Calling her name, Jenner promptly wakes her up, prioritizing her safety.
