Unexpected Enrollee

Going back to the boxing gym two weeks after concluding that last session, the first thing I checked was if something had changed.

Nothing, of course. It’s the same boxing gym that was no different than the others of its kind.

Anyone could come in for a trial but it’s more often that the premises were filled with those who signed up for membership. They were either taking boxing as a hobby or training themselves in hopes of one day becoming skilled enough to turn it into their profession. It's actually rare to find someone picking it up just to improve their physical fitness since there were a lot more alternatives for it.

Naturally, there were also some amateur boxers but no one was a pro.

From what I heard, those who managed to debut as a pro with this boxing gym as their starting point would move to another branch – which Hisa-jii also co-owned. The facilities available there and the location were better for pros who would train for their upcoming matches.
