The sports where if you can't dodge fast enough, you might end up getting up barraged by the unfairness and the harshness of balls thrown in your general direction.

I remember seeing the movie named as such, I remember the hilarious scenes, Chuck Norris… some sheer brutality with the balls and all of that.

When I took part to the training session to see what was Sona's plan with the future match, I had been surprised at the sheer simplicity of the formation.

I was placed in the middle of the frontal row, with Tomoe on my left and Reya to my right.

The entire back row was taken by the heavy hitters, with Sona standing right behind me, Tsubaki on her right side while Tsubasa taking the left.

The idea was incredibly interesting as it was based over the fact that the first row was made by quick-paced players, while the three girls standing behind us were meant to be the one going for any attacks.

Saji and Ruruko were annoyed by the fact that they would have sit as reserves for the match, but the decision had come out from the fact that both weren't much experienced in dealing with the sport.

The teams were limited to a maximum of six players and… I was actually confused when Sona mentioned that Rias had spoke about having a six member that she wanted to bring for the official game.

Which was confusing since I was aware that her current peerage, ignoring the currently-sealed Gasper, was still made by five people.

And while I was suspicious over this unexpected development, I still ended up forgetting about this matter as I started the training session with the rest of the Student Council.

Everything went smoothly, from the beginning to… the particularly awkward end of the session, finding it quite refreshing to see a little more of the true nature of the group I was part of.

I noticed that Tomoe was less inclined to reach out and try her luck in capturing the ball, preferring to dodge it for someone else to pick. Her speed as a Knight allowed her to succeed in most evasions.

Tsubaki and Reya seemed to have a slight flaw correlated to when they ended up getting hold of some balls, with both pausing a little too much in taking aim of certain targets.

Sona's major issue was the fact that she was way too defensive over her guard, preferring to outright avoiding touching any balls and leaving the rest to the other girls.

Then there was Tsubasa and… she was terribly good with her role.

I flinched more than once during training as she went for her own attacks… despite the fact that we were on the same team.

Her aim as deadly as the power behind all the strikes, none of her shots went missing each time she aimed at one of her next victi-targets.

She was merciless, almost giggling eagerly the more chances she got of proving her worth in crushing her opponents.

There wasn't nothing seriously concerning about attitude, perhaps her earnest position over victory granting me more relief on the fact that the chances of success were that high.

The problem was… how it actually ended.

The blue-haired girl hadn't forgotten about the little thought she had been having over the finale of this training session.

I was distracted by the last seconds of the spar, my attention still channeled to the ball as I felt someone suddenly hug me from behind.

I was sweaty, she was sweaty, and I was giving her my back as she squeezed closely.

"Got ya, Hoitsu-kun!"

Tsubasa's voice was highlighting a disturbing degree of happiness, enough to make me flinch at how stubbornly she was latching at my back.

Her chest was pressing quite hardly, but I managed to distract myself by noticing that… Tsubaki was looking at us with a confused look.

I blinked. "It's her initiative," I pointed out, making her heterochromic eyes turn to look at me.

"Then why are you allowing her to continue?"

I frowned back at her, glancing to the side as I noticed that Sona was slowly approaching the scene.

"It's more complicated than it looks like," I replied quietly, gaining even more surprise from her.

"Then why don't you try?"

I tend to forget that I really needed to make examples out of my current innocence in these circumstances.

Thus I sighed and tried to shift my attention back at the hugging girl.

"Tsubasa."

She hummed quietly, still lost in the embrace- seriously, why did I have to deal with this?!

I slowly tried to turn around and get a proper glimpse of the situation, finding my means to go through the action eased by the girl's willingness to permit me to do so, perhaps thinking of hugging me properly if she had me move a little.

Yet her plans swiftly collapsed as she felt her cheeks getting pinched by my hands.

She yelped, her arms suddenly lessening their hold over my waist and offering me some more relief as I continued to punish the silly girl.

"N-Nwa!" She tried to pull herself out of my grasp, but the young woman found the task nigh-impossible fairly quickly. "Hwoitsu- lwet me gwo!"

I narrowed my eyes at her panicking face. "Tsubasa, didn't I say that I didn't want to go through this little hugging thing of yours?"

"B-Bwut it's nwice to hug with fweinds!"

"'Basa, I don't think friends should be hugging this tightly and lengthy," I reminded with a sigh. "I know you're ecstatic because we're in the same team, but don't exaggerate."

She blinked, giving a nod as I slowly removed my hands from her cheeks, letting her out of that 'nightmare'.

"H-Hoitsu-kun, that was quite painful," She remarked with a huff.

"Then perhaps you shouldn't give sneaky hugs, especially since we're all sweating from this training session?"

"But the hardship makes the embrace even more wholesome! We're two friends sharing the pride of having succeeded."

…I really can't believe that she was trying to go down this amusing route.
