Learning things about strength (for NicoSensei)

[Lederface]

Emily had managed to hit Nozuki hard with her body, so then when the moment of wanting to move, she would feel that Nozuki still had the grip, so then starting to feel hard blows against her body, complaining a lot, Emily would move to try to block it, but instead, she would end up with blows on her mask, hearing a sound in a moment.

Crack

noticing it, Emily would feel that her mask was fractured, being a bit scared, she would try to grab Nozuki's hands and thus, squeeze hard to try to force Nozuki to let go.

[NicoSensei]

Taken from the moment, his shots had subsequently landed, perhaps a little too much more than he bargained for.
For a brief moment, Nozuki noticed that Emily had remained motionless, wondering what was wrong with her but distracted by this thought, he almost reacted too late to the girl's response.

Taking a step backward, Nozuki held out his hands forward making them collide with Emily's ending again in a force lock up, only this time the pressure and squeezing applied by the girl was much stronger than before and it goes without saying that Nozuki was taken aback by both the pain and the fact that after little resistance he found himself again with one knee on the ground.

Nozuki stared at the floor, slightly shocked by the sudden surge of force that came upon him in a flash and then returned to look up; his arms were shaking but he was still holding his grip tightly trying to put more strength on it, even though he was having a harder time pushing her back this time and at that point, he noticed something: Emily's mask was fractured and he knew instantly that there it had been his work.
He could clearly see the girl's right eye staring at him with a serious, almost surprised expression but right now, her teacher had come forward decisively.
He was surprised at himself.
He didn't want to damage her mask but if he let go of excuses now he would lose, so he go back to the challenge and grit his teeth, grunting and groaning.

- Ghhh! -

He'd rather realized that he probably wouldn't be able to push her to the ropes.
Not wanting to resort to tricks but rather face Emily's physical and mighty strength "head-on", Nozuki tried to push her back as much as he could to gain space, trying to extend his arms by bringing one leg forward slightly to give himself a push.

- Aaah! -

That aggressive scream showed how much he was trying to fight back all the pain and pressure he has now, he wanted to show Emily that he would not give up, although his muscles were in full stress and stiff from the intense pain he had experienced even before, all along his body.
But precisely, this was his first "official" training match and he didn't want to give up, in every context.

[Lederface]

Emily felt how Nozuki's body applied a defense worthy of a fighter determined not to give up anything, but Emily appreciated that mask very much, being something like what years ago she had received from Olivia, so she could not allow it to break, so leaving aside the training, Emily the moment she felt Nozuki's thrusts, she would receive them, retreating little by little, and at the indicated moment, Emily would throw her knee with all her strength against Nozuki's stomach, waiting to see his reaction to it.

[NicoSensei]

His body was shaking and full of pain, despite everything he was still fighting.
Although he preferred not to think about it, he felt that the current showdown was pushing him to the limit of what is possible now.
Slowly and a few steps, Nozuki managed to push Emily back but he probably would never have won in this segment, in fact, he was just showing his will and energy in facing someone stronger than him.

As soon as he gained some distance with his arms, he was willing to let go to get away and catch his breath, but the plans changed in an instant: Emily threw a strong knee aimed at the boy's stomach and instead of dodging and walking away, something in the mind of Nozuki, told him not to do it, but rather to dodge.
He backed away with his torso in time despite the knee brushing his chin, leaving him a slight scratch and held even more forcefully on his hands intertwined with Emily.

His head was tilted back and he took a moment to thank his quick reflexes for dodging the blow, because he was pretty sure he would go knocked out or at the girl's mercy anyway.
That brief moment was the only one he had for a counterattack and the only thing that came to mind was stupid and somewhat "suicidal" if not crazy.

- Screw this! - He roars aggressively.

He loaded himself with his body and threw a head butt straight at Emily's forehead.
If the blow had landed and unless he was too stunned, Nozuki would have walked away to catch his breath for a few seconds, before heading to the corner of the ring to be able to try to exploit a move, which he hoped would close the 'encounter.

By now it was clear: Nozuki was at the limit of his strength and physique and he need to end this quickly.

[Lederface]

Emily would have launched with force her attack against Nozuki, but Nozuki's agility and speed of reaction would save him from a blow that probably would have doomed him in the fight, so then the grip would be broken, and Emily would be catching her breath to recover, but when she heard Nozuki's scream she knew something would happen and before she could foresee it, Nozuki would come too close to her and with a strong blow, Emily would only counter-attack, trying to make her blow the one that would break her opponent, even though the pain was already done.

through the window it could be seen that there was already a group of people watching everything, enjoying the fight, until a woman would arrive and watching everything, she would enter silently, wanting to see everything without affecting the result.....for now

[NicoSensei]

POW!

Both had thrown a strong headbutt against each other, still remaining tied by the hands in the force grip.
For a few seconds, neither of them moved.

Nozuki hadn't noticed it, but Emily had hit much harder to the point that she pushed him with her head slightly further back. It was as if she had almost absorbed that blow. He felt his forehead throbbing and aching and his senses fighting hard to stay awake.
He had his gaze fixed on Emily and realized that he had widened the fracture on the mask a little more, but obviously, it hadn't been strong enough to break it, even if that was not the goal.

At that point, Nozuki slowly released Emily's hands by taking several steps back and holding his forehead with his hand: it hurt a lot, but the biggest problem was his stamina, now not be able to withstand her other attacks or holds.
Emily was twice his size, both in height and weight as well as in muscle and it was obvious that she probably had more energy than he was despite the well-aimed blows. It was pretty much crazy enough that he agreed anyways to fight againts her.
He took a deep breath in between heavy breaths but couldn't stand so he dropped to one knee, rubbing his forehead and realizing that he probably made a slight cut on his own, through the fracture of the mask when he pulled the head.

He had no idea if that shot had worked or not, he couldn't understand it.
However, he still wanted to continue: he stood up after a couple of more breaths but as he tried to walk to the corner of the ring, his legs suddenly gave out.

It will be for the adrenaline that had run its course or more likely, he could not take it anymore.
He felt faint, the forces leaving him and barely managed to react and put his hand on the ground to stop the fall or to think about anything.
He prayed with all his might to do it, but he wasn't sure if he would be able to stop himself from literally falling to the ground.
That was probably his end of the line.

[Lederface]

Emily after giving that hard blow against Nozuki, it seemed that both were careful to see who would be the one to show their reaction, being in the end that Nozuki would fall to his knees, Emily although a little dizzy, was still standing, that made her somewhat happy, but at the same time she wondered about when she would have trained to be able to resist all of Emily's attacks, so then, walking towards Nozuki, Emily would take him by his leg, and with a strength that she could barely withstand, she would lift Nozuki by that foot, showing that she had finally defeated him, but that could not simply mean Nozuki's defeat, because suddenly, that woman would make her presence known, walking to the ring and with a laugh on her face, she would begin to count

[One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven! [/B]

Emily, seeing how Olivia now seemed to be the arbrito of this fight, would only remain silent, waiting for the count to finally end so she could officially close the fight.

[NicoSensei]

He was on the ground, exhausted and almost completely unconscious. His breathing was heavy; in short, he had completely exhausted his strength.
He could no longer resist anything and the pain was just shooting him all over his body.
When he saw Emily lift his leg and hear another person do the count, he raised his hand in protest.

- It is not necessary ... I will stop here. -

He knew it wasn't an official meeting, so he decided to allow himself to say this. Still exhausted, he let himself lie down completely along the ring floor, trying to catch his breath and not pass out.
His mind was traveling through a thousand thoughts on how the fight had gone, on how he had behaved, on what he had done wrong, on everything.

- I'm sorry about the mask, Emily... -

Continuing to take several breaths between sentences, Nozuki shifted his gaze to the newcomer.

- Are you ... the director of the gym? ... Pleasure... -

As much as he wanted to say more, he felt he was going to faint and he realized that he had turned pale. He needed something to recover.

- Can you give me some water, please ... I'd like to avoid fainting ... -

Although he was sarcastic, he was serious. Nozuki had given his all and perhaps, in his current condition, he had exaggerated and asked far too much of himself.
The most serious problem was basically this: despite being out of convalescence and "healed" from two years ago, it was evident that his body was not yet in shape due to the long therapy he had undergone to cure himself of the disease that had struck him long ago and put in difficulty with studies.
It made sense that he was exhausted, but not nearly to the point of fainting, not to mention the consequence of facing someone like Emily.
He lay on the ground, staring at the lights on the ceiling, trying to relax and not fidget at the thought of passing out at any moment, waiting for someone to help him.

[Lederface]

Emily would see and listen to Nozuki, understanding that he also knew that the fight was over, she would place him on the tarp carefully, walking out of the room, where she would get some drinks for both of them.

Olivia who was now alone with Nozuki, would listen to that boy's doubts, smiling a little, she would stand close to Nozuki and with a firm voice would say.
"Nope, I'm not the director of the gym, but I do have part over the ownership of this place, it's actually 2 women who own the gym, a mother and daughter pair, Jenny and Hitomi, boy are they good at this, by the way, even though I don't usually say it much, you put up a good fight against Emily."

Finally after a few moments, Emily would appear and taking off her mask, she would walk over and give Nozuki a bottle of water, as she looked on with some concern, so she would ask her
"Are you okay Nozuki? Don't you want me to call our nurse?"

[NicoSensei]

Nozuki stretched his arms and legs to rest, trying in every way to fight the intense pain and sense of nausea that plagued him in that state.
Left alone with the girl, she explained to him that the gym was run by two girls, mother and daughter, whose names he seemed to have heard before.
While he was not completely foreign to the world of wrestling, he had a few names in mind.
In the girl's opinion he almost snorted: surely he had guts to sell but he thought differently.
As brave as he had been, that wasn't enough and he wasn't at all sure he'd had a good fight, not to mention that Emily had certainly gone lightly.

- Thank you ... but to be honest I don't think I was a noteworthy opponent, even if it was just training.
Of course, I didn't know I would have to face Emily, who is very good and strong, but I would have been a coward to give up. I'm here fort testing myself out. -

Nozuki saw Emily return and slowly stood up with her torso to drink the water.
It was certainly not miraculous, but despite the effort to get up, he felt a little better.

- No don't worry ... I feel a little better! I just need to rest ... despite everything, I hope you enjoyed it. -

He continued to drink the water, consuming the bottle completely and did so almost without realizing it before looking at her in surprise.

- Wow, I was so thirsty! ... Anyway you must be Olivia then! Probably then I made arrangements with you for today. Thank you for your availability and hospitality ... -

Although he wanted to ask the professionals if he had done well and if he could be well suited to the world of wrestling, he turned his eyes to the ground.
Apparently they were both satisfied, but he wasn't sure and didn't want to be so presumptuous in asking directly for an opinion on the matter.
He took a deep breath, relaxing his muscles, feeling cooler.
