@ Gym

(Seems like I forgot something but since I don't remember what is it, I cannot do anything about it)

Wait, if I remember it right, whenever I sneak a peek at her, she rarely looks back at me. But every time we accidentally look at each other and our eyes met, I usually pretend not to see her by averting and swipe away my gazes from her. Does that make her thinks that I was afraid of her?

Not long after, we reach a certain huge building, and we both enter it. When the security of the front lobby see her, they just nod and let her pass. Even the receptionist at the main lobby also just bow at us and let us through that easily.

She led me into an elevator, and then she pushes the top floor button. But then we heard an electrical security sound and she put her hand on a scanner above the floor button option. After that the elevator quickly move and rise to the top floor of the building. Hmmm? Something is not right here. Aren't we going to a gym or something? Why do we have to go to a high-rise building like this?

"Um, Garcia? Aren't we going to the gym?" I try asking her.

"Yes." Short three letter word answer from her.

"Why are we in this building then?" I ask her again.

"This building is the Gym." She answer again.

"What kind of gym?" I still ask again.

"....." She did not answer.

"Are you saying you don't know about a gym?" She asks me back.

"Uh, of course I know. But this building is too tall and too big to be a gym." I retort.

"Are there any limitation for a building size to be a gym?" She retorts back.

"I, well..... I don't know... Maybe?" I try to retort again. Failed miserably.

"Let me explain about Gym. A gymnasium, also known as a gym, is a covered location for gymnastics, athletics, and gymnastic services. The word is derived from the ancient Greek gymnasium. The gymnasium (Greek: gymnasion) in Ancient Greece functioned as a training facility for competitors in public games. It was also a place for socializing and engaging in intellectual pursuits. The name comes from the Ancient Greek term gymnós meaning "naked".(*) " She give me a 'long' explanation. But, somehow from all her explanation, I can only register three words; socializing, engaging and naked.

"Each floor of this building has a different facility that we could use, as you can see by yourself." She continues to explain. While saying that, see point to our back that make me look at behind us and then I realize that one side of the elevator are made from glass that we could see through. I did not realize that at first because I already bewildered with the floor number on the elevator button and there is even a hand scanner there.

When I see through the glass, I could see that each floor that we pass has different kind of sport facility. There are Soccer, Basketball, Tennis, Volleyball, Badminton, Football, Chess, and many others. And then I look above the elevator entrance, there are a list of each floor content with short explanation of them. There are even Restaurant, Bathroom, Kitchen and Canteen floor. What kind of gym is this? More like, what kind of building is this! All Purpose Building? One stop service? One Place All you need you can find?

"We are here." She said again. And so, the elevator finally stop and the door opened grandly. What I see beyond the door is... looks like an ordinary office to me? There are some people that do their work normally like a simple office work. With lots of paperwork.

"This floor is a special floor. There are special administration of special office and some special facility for special people with special need." Uuuh..... I think there are too many special in her explanation there. And then we continue to walk by past those office worker area to the big double door behind them. The door opened grandly too. What I see behind the door is..... looks like an ordinary gym. Like where we can see some people could run in the same place over and over again. Some people could keep on lifting heavy object, and then put them back down, and then lift the heavy object again. Oh, look. there are even some ring there. For boxing? Wrestling? I don't know.

"This back area is for us relaxing and sweating to increase our durability." Okay, her explanation is getting fishy now... At least there are no bed here. But still there are some comfy sofa at the side near the wall.

"Those ring are used to fight and test our capability to face our adversary in real time action." Doh, sure it is. How can we use turn based action on a ring battle anyway? Maybe I hit you, you hit me, and then I make move, and then you make a move? Hmm... sounds reasonable. For a Chess battle.

While we are walking through the 'gym' area, there is a ring that is being used with some people watching from outside the ring. I could see the contender inside the ring is a big burly man facing a quite petite girl with small perk, er, boobs? If they are small, can we still call them boobs?

"What are you looking at?" Somehow Garcia manage to see what my line of vision is currently looking at.

"Those people. What are they doing?" I try changing the topic.

"Oh. They are sparring." Garcia also looks at what I'm looking at.

"But, their class are so unmatched. That's not really fair. Like heavy weight against flying weight." I try to retort.

"Yeah, you are right. That poor guy gonna suffer a lot." Garcia answ.... huh? Wait. Poor guy? What's the little girl gonna do? Kick him in the nut?

"You are joking, right Garcia?" I still did not believe what I've just heard.

"Try to watch a little. And you will understand." Garcia also take me to the spectator area to watch the 'show'.
