Training with a Sweet Diva

[Mart-Kos]

It had been quite a while since Kazuma had first joined LAW and while his matches up to this point had been.....interesting to say the least, he had yet to actually take advantage of LAW's facilities. In this instance it had been quite a while since he had stepped into a gym and right now, the time seemed just about right for him to do so. He needed some time to himself after the way his last few matches went. Kazuma was amazed at the various training areas in the gym and immediately went to the men's locker room to change into his jogging suit for training.

"Now then....where should I start first?" Kazuma asked himself after he did a few warm up stretches and then began to look around the gym. Treadmills were a good place to start and the rings had a few people nearby looking for sparring partners, but what Kazuma believed he needed to work on most right now was power and stamina. Sure he wouldn't be able to go head-on against the heavyweights but at least he'd be able to take hits a bit better. Kazuma would go over to the weight area, which was surprisingly empty except for one other person; a young woman with long, straight black hair was also there, doing some work with the dumbbells in a red and white track suit by the benchpress.

Kazuma couldn't see her face but he imagine she was probably a LAW wrestler too. "Excuse me, Miss. I was hoping to use the bench press there and could use a spotter. If you could spot for me, I'd be happy to return the favor for you." Kazuma asked, feeling a bit proud of himself for being able to get his question out politely and without soundingly like a completely nervous wreck.

Sakura hummed softly as she hefted a pair of decently sized dumbells in each hand, working up a sweat as she trained following her return to LAW. It had only been a few days since she returned, or debuted, however you wanted to look at it, but her presence really seemed to ignite things around the promotion.

For instance right after she had been announced to return back from her hiatus to wrestling her newly made twitter had blown up with mentions not only from fans but other wrestlers as well. Although… half of those were memes involving her and crabs in some way… so she didn’t really like tk think about that.

None the less however she was at least glad ber presence was noticed and that people were legitimately excited by her return to the scene. It warmed a space in her heart and motivated her to push herself even harder, to give the fans performances they deserved and prove her haters wrong! It was why she was even in the gym right now, wearing her red and white issued track suit from Beserk in the gym training to try and improve her power wrestling.

While working however Sakura heard someone talking to her and looked up in surprise. The last time she looked around everyone was crowded around the ring for sparring which was why she went over to the less crowded weight lifting area. But it appeared as if someone had ventured here similar to herself. That person was a young man who looked to be around her age with brown hair and green eyes with a matching green tracksuit. Upon initial inspection he appeared rather plain, if a bit jittery under the surface but he appeared nice enough, and was offering to spot her in weight lifting.

Flashing a sweet smile up at him she would nod, finding the situation perfect given she wanted to use the bigger weights soon anyways. ”Of course that sounds like a great idea!” She said enthusiastically while placing the weight back where they had been previously before standing up and seeing the boy was barely taller than her and they seemed to have a similar build. “I’m Sakura by the way. Sakura Hagiwara.” She said introducing herself with vigor while extending her hand out to shake hands with Kazuma.

Remember that part about Kazuma feeling a bit proud of himself for being able to talk to a girl? Yeah well, neither did Kazuma once he finally got a look at the face of the girl in question. She was the very definition of cute! Her big brown eyes were full of energy and the smile on her face seemed to radiate it in spades! It was then that Kazuma knew exactly whom this young lady was, but before he could say her name, she'd beat him to the punch and introduce herself as Sakura Hagiwara! Kazuma's confidence fell like a stone as he looked the Berserk/Sweet Diva Idol in the eye and panic set in. He wasn't really sure of what to do next until Sakura reached out and offered him a handshake.

Kazuma would, somewhat robotically, extend his hand and accept Sakura's goodwill handshake, all while trying not to blush and freak out as he held her soft hand. "I-It's a pleasure to meet you, S-Sakura-san. I'm K-Kazuma Satou and th-th-thank you for spotting me." He'd nervously introduce himself while trying to salvage some small bit of the confidence he had mere moments ago.

Kazuma would then check the weights on the bench press, making sure that they weren't too heavy for him before laying down on the bench and grasping the bar. [color=#40BFB80]"I'm actually kind of surprised that you're h-here, if I remember correctly you left LAW after an injury didn't you?"[/color] Kazuma would ask as he waited for Sakura to come around and get in position in case he needed help.

Sakura continued to smile sweetly at Kazuma as his former confidence faded away in favor of nervousness. Something she noticed but didn't comment on since it would likely just make things worse for him. Besides such a reaction wasn't new to her, after all it was fairly common whenever she met fans of hers at signing events so she was definitely used to being patient and extending kindness in such events. Shaking his hand warmly she would nod to the brunette with a smile as they broke their grip from one another. "Of course no problem at all I'm more than happy to assist!" She said with her usual optimistic and energetic tone to her voice as she followed Kazuma over to the weight lifting bench.

Hearing the boy's question however Sakura would hum as she walked around the bench to her proper position, offering a thumbs up above his face to show she was ready to spot him. "Well I never actually left the company. I've just been on a bit of a.. injury leave." She said answering him with a curt nod as she would start to watch him lift. "But I've recently returned to the ring, and I've been meaning to make it more of a point to come to the gym more often to train and get in better ring shape!" She said enthusiastically, wanting to show how eager she was to be back in the ring type environment.

Once Sakura was in position, and a thumbs up to signal she was ready, to help him, Kazuma would lift the bar above him and begin his turn. Kazuma would listen as Sakura explained how she never really left LAW, and how she had only taken an injury leave and was now looking to come to the gym more often to get back into ring shape after a recent return to the ring. Kazuma kind of envied her enthusiasm a bit, given his former hikikomori lifestyle, but in a way that actually made him want to push himself more, maybe showoff a bit for Sakura while he had her here. I see, well hard work makes shine brighter, I guess. Kazuma said as he brought the bar down onto his chest and lifted it back up while Sakura looked down on him.

"I imagine though balancing wrestling and idol work must give you a lot to do. Kazuma would manage to ask, trying to make some small talk as his arms began to tremble a bit from having lifted the weight for so long. "S-Sakura-san, could you help me out a bit? He'd ask, his arms having reached their limit and not sure if he could set the bar by himself.

Sakura smiled down again at Kazuma once more as he got ready to lift the bar above him. She really didn't know that much about the brown haired boy but in a way she kinda liked that. Or rather she enjoyed being able to spend some time with someone new that wouldn't cause a big raucous when it came out they were training. It was something that happened a few times with her and Misaki and Moe that caused just a lot of unnecessary drama, especially since she was trying to keep her return to the ring on the down low at the time. But with Kazuma it did't feel like there was any pressure or or incentive that came from the two working together, so it was like a breath of fresh air for the girl.

Hearing what he said as he started lifting Sakura would nod with a slightly bashful smile. "Yeah it does but I love both so it's worth the extra trouble." She said brightly as she made sure to pay attention to Kazuma as he lifted in case his arms gave out before he was able to give her a warning. Luckily this wasn't the case and he was able to let her know that he was unable too which she rapidly nodded too in response. "Of course!" She said reaching down and grabbing the bar and lifting it up the rest of the to its resting place. "Not bad Kazuma!" She said positively as she gave him another thumbs up, trying to make him positive about the number he had lifted.

Kazuma watched as Sakura reached out and grabbed the bar and began to help him set it while his arms buckled underneath. He wasn't exactly strong, probably really only being able to lift people that weighed less than or roughly around his own weight so he was glad that he was able to get as many as he did. Sakura's praise and thumbs-up made him blush a bit and made the number of lifts he succeeded in doing feel like something, despite the number not being anything special. "T-Thank you,, Sakura. How about take your turn now and then we can alternate turns for a while before we take a break? Kazuma asked as he sat up and got off the bench for Sakura.

Setting the bar back down Sakura nodded at Kazuma as he sat up from the bench, apparently satisfied with how many lifts he had managed on his own. Something that was probably do in no small part to her encouraging words and smile uplifting the significance of however many he had managed. Which admittedly wasn't much which may or may not have been part of why she had paid him the compliment. "Sure thing sounds like a good plan Kazuma!" She said brightly as she took his place on the bench and laid back, arms reaching up to grab the bar and push it up and over in order to start her own set.

[Mart-Kos]

Kazuma went around to the bar as Sakura laid herself down on the bunch and grabbed the bar, beginning to lift the weight for her set. Kazuma was amazed by her concentration as she proceeded to blow through her set, easily passing the number he hit before he called it for his turn. "Wow! You're amazing, Sakura!" he said, making sure to be ready to help her with the bar at a moment's notice.

After a few more, Kazuma noticed that each time the bar came down Sakura's breasts would actually get slightly squished by the bar's weight. Kazuma would shake his head and try to keep his mind free of any lewd thoughts while he was with the Pop Idol. "So, Sakura is there anything you're looking to do here in LAW that you maybe couldn't do with Berserk?" Kazuma asked, wondering if Sakura had any plans while she was here. Perhaps he could help her somehow.....and perhaps get to hang out with her more often.

Sakura smiled in response to the encouragement she received from Kazuma and nodded up to him as best she could in between reps. "Aw thank you Kazuma I appreciate it." She said earnestly as she continued to push and lower the bar repeatedly having already surpassed Kazuma's number, but also wanting to push her own limit.

As she went forward with her reps however Kazuma asked a interesting question that made her hum in thought in response. "Well..." She said while lowering the bar and pulling it back to rest it on its appropriate place to end her rep before sitting up, a fine sheen of sweat already across her body. "To be honest I'm more so looking to show I'm more business you know" She asked while looking over her shoulder at him. "I obviously don't have the most stellar record or reputation, so I guess I wanna prove those haters wrong by showing them how strong I am!" She chirped positively with a bright look on her face.
