11 - A not so great first impression

Soon the lunch time was over and we went to another round of classes home economics and Arts.

Home economics was interesting, I didn't have this class on my past life, they teached us how to clean, and how to make some easy dishes, I tried to be with ippo, but the teacher already made the team.

I was with Tsubota and Yoshida, a guy and a girl, they were cool, we made some omelets, it was actually hard to make them right, I overcooked one of the eggs, but overall we got a Plus mark.

Ippo was with Aikawa, and other guy named Hirano. Ippo was good at cooking, he prepared everything and the girl put the eggs in the fire, they also got good marks.

Next was Art class, we didn't do practice class, Teacher wanted to identified all our material for future classes, I got distracted and check the system.

There was one feature I didn't check the last time. [STATUS], mentally I commanded it to open.

[STATUS] - [HEALTHY 100%]

It was interesting, but actually it didn't told me much, how about the others, what were the max values, also I didn't quite like the letters, it went up until A, or S, or SSS I sighed in my mind.

There were also two interesting passives, the Healthy body, that one of the gods told me, and the Information sponge I didn't undertood that one.

But then I remember something "✣ I'll gift you a good start, a loving family and intelligence to help you in your goal ✣" 

"Intelligence to help me..." I muttered

'Just... what is Information sponge' When I thought of that a second panel opened like a new window.

[Information sponge] - User is able to understand things easily, training bonus for new skills activated to x20, when the skill is adquired the user no longer able to get the training bonus. This passive skill can be used for sports, daily, and anything you practice for. [God blessing]

'Holy shit' I shouted in my mind, so the other one, Healthy body was also a god Blessing, lets check it out. But I was interrupted by Ippo.

"Ahm Sora, the class is over, should we go to the Boxing gym?"

"Eh? yeah sure, let me grab my things" I put all my stuff inside, and we chat alongside.

Just as we reached the first floor I saw Umezawa, Takemura and Matsuda.

I asked "Were you waiting for us?"

Umezawa sighed. "Yeah, Man its just... agh... NOTHING!!!" he started walking.

I snickered inside but I won't let him go. "Are you?... trying to apologize to Ippo?"

He stopped and with an angry face he shouted "OF COURSE NO-" I interrupted "You know... I would love to interact with your tsundere phase but I know you want to be our friend so I'll say... lets bygones be bygones, I also know Ippo doesn't have a grudge, but he feels bad about the things you have said, bullying is never easy to overcome, but Ippo is a strong guy"

Ippo looked away and Umezawa saw some tears, He made a regretful face as he accepted my words, maybe they were little harsh but it was necessary.

Once again he sighed. "Look man, you made it so easy, and its not an excuse but my old man is stubborn, I want to do something and he already planned my life, I just saw you as an easy way to... you know... punch something and damn... this is hard... I... I apologize man, I do want to start again, if you don't want me to it's ok"

"I accept your apologize" I was taken aback by the force in the voice of Ippo.

Umezawa also looked at him with wide eyes. "Are you sure?"

Ippo made a weak smile. "Are we friends?"

Umezawa made a toothy grin "Of course man!"

Just then Kazeo came near. "So are you guys ok now?, that's cool, just be better" he said while looking at Umezawa

"Who's this?" Matsuda said.

"That's my brother, the captain of the Taekwondo Team" I said grinning.

"Guys we have to go, let's check this gym. Are you three coming?" Kazeo said with a no nonsense voice.

"Don't be like that" I scolded my brother, "We are friends now!, Hey Umezawa can I see your drawings tomorrow?"

"We are going to another place" Umezawa said while looking warily at Kazeo. "And sure man, tomorrow at lunch?"

"yeah tomorrow at lunch" I said and we part ways.

"Should we run?" said Ippo.

"No need" said Kazeo, "We have enough time to get by"

------------------------------

Just as we turned the corner we saw Takamura entering the Gym, the sound of punches and the sound the sneackers made in the floor, were leaking to the outside.

"So this is it, huh?" Kazeo said, looking at the gym.

"Yeah, lets enter already" I went to grab the door and I heard a strong inhale. I stooped and looked at Ippo. He was grabbing air. 'Damn he's going to shout' I turned fast and put my hand in his mouth. "What the hell are you doing?, remember yesterday, you almost give the couch a heart attack, with your voice alone, Lets just greet them normally please"

Ippo was actually alarmed, "Oh... You're right, sorry" he grabbed the back of his head.

I sighed... 'I don't think your actually that sorry, but oh well', "That's fine man, come on"

We both greeted normally "Good Evening!"

"Yo! You're here" Takamura glanced back, as he was also arriving at the gym. "Is he also joining the gym?"

"No, he's my guardián, he came to watch" I told him.

He watched kazeo for some seconds, but he shruged and turned away "I will get the old man" He said charging to the second floor.

"Well he' s the future champion" I said with confidente.

"Did you hear old man? I like this guy!" Takamura came back laughing loudly

"Control yourself Takamura", but he was smiling.

The coach reached us and looking at us he said. "What are you waiting for? An envelope? Or a letter? GO and change into your sports gear"

We both ran to the changing rooms.

----------------------------

Kazeo POV

"Are you not going to change boy?" The old man said to me.

"Sorry coach, but I like my Taekwondo team, although boxing is an amazing art, it doesn't interest me" I responded while looking at the changing room door

"Hmph, he said" but he was smiling

"While they change, can you tell me, how are you going to start training them, don't take it wrong, but I can't take it in my head, how could you accept them with those favorable terms, it feels like a scam" I said firmly and looked at him in the eyes.

Grunt*

"Do you know how many runts go each month in here?, there are a lot of idiots, a lot of wanabee, and a lot of hidden gems, both of them are, I have to be honest, the smaller one feels differently, his punch was amazing, and with the help of his friend, he seems to gain his boxing attitute, it would be harder if he came alone" the coach talked.

"So what are you going to do today?" I responded

"Rope, correct way of punching, side steps, difference on jab and straigh, also a sparring to finish the day?" The coach told me

"A spar on the first day?" I looked at him alarmed, 'damn this guy its crazy, a sparring on the first day?' "I have to take Sora out of here" I mumbled

Unknowingly by me the coach smiled and thought 'this guy is green'

-----------------------
