74: Are they all monsters?

Are they all monsters?

Kai Xin glared at Callum. She felt a sudden surge of anger as she snapped at him, "You saw me naked?"2

When he felt the familiar murderous aura, by instinct, his body took a step backwards, "It was an accident! I saved your life!"

When Kai Xin glared at DX for confirmation, he continued to flame the issue, "He didn't stop staring even after I told him to get out."

Callum knew what he was up to and yelled out, "Du XiAn! Stop it!"

Kai Xin yelled out and charged at Callum. How dare he!

She can forgive him for seeing her naked when he saved her, but there was no reason for him to stare!

She hated it the most when people saw her at her weakest state!

When he tried to say something, Kai Xin stopped him by giving a high kick.

He blocked it and she followed by a quickly and well executed butterfly kick that caused him to take a few steps backwards.

"Fuck!"

He was pushed to get into an offensive stance.

However, before he can do anything, DX called out from his seat at the bench, "Callum, 70% strength and only 3 limbs!"

Callum laughed inwardly for that permission. He had intended to use only 50% strength and 2 limbs, but since he was given the permission, he might as well go all out.

For a good 20 minutes, they were evenly matched with the handicap. Callum was surprised that she actually caught up with him and her skills were great.

There were no clumsy movements and every strikes and kicks were done with the intention to damage.

He can tell that she received intensive training before. However, there was no way she can win against him.

Kai Xin felt her energy dropping and her breath was getting heavier while he managed to deflect all her attacks without breaking a sweat.

"What is this..." She glared at Callum as he deflected another of her move before glancing at DX for a second, "Are they all monsters?"

She thought of a way. When he deflected her next punch, she pretended that he had hurt her and crouched down as she tended to her hand.

Worried, Callum dropped his guard and walked towards her. Before he can say anything, he was met with a quick punch to the groin.

"FUCCCCCCK!"

He cursed out loudly as he bent over with his hands covering his groin.

A swift back kick to his face caused him to topple over. Still bending over with his hands on his groin, he glared at Kai Xin, "You cheater!"

Kai Xin grinned, "There is no cheating in love and war."

He knew it! Glaring at the man who was sitting there innocently, he yelled, "YOU TAUGHT HER THAT!"

DX shrugged, "All is fair in love and war."

.....

When he first accepted her request to train her in street fighting, he knew that she was already well-versed in martial arts.

However, she played too honorably. While that was a good sportsmanship in a competition, it was a bad habit to have for street fights.

Honorable people died young if they were to fight outside the ring.

He had stood over her as she was groaning in pain because of his sneak attack, "Just because you are honorable, doesn't mean that others would be the same."

She had glared at him and snarled, "I don't want to win dishonorably!"

When she tried to stand up, he swiped her feet causing her to fall backwards.

As she glared at him, he continued, "It's not about winning dishonorably. When you fight outside the ring, your goal is not to win, but to survive without getting badly hurt."

She gritted as she massaged her backside, "We are NOT outside the ring."

"We are training for that. Your opponent is a man who is obviously stronger than you. You shouldn't jump in straight for the kill."

When he said that, she had snapped in frustration, "Then what can I do?"

"Play dirty, or..." DX said and picked her up in his arms, "...rely on your man."

...

While he was disappointed by her choice, somehow, deep down, he always knew what her choice would be.

As he watched the girl laughing gleefully as she stood over Callum, he knew that she would always play dirty before relying on him to bail her out.

That was her choice.

She picked both, but he would always be the last. It hurt, but he accepted it anyway.

DX watched as Kai Xin strutted towards him and asked cheerfully, "Did I do well?"

He patted her on the head and nodded, "Em. Good job."

Kai Xin glanced at Callum who was still kneeling on the mat and said apologetically, "I feel bad for him though."

"No need. He felt worst before."

When Callum heard him, he had to agree. Getting hit in the groin once by a girl was better than sparring with DX.

At least, he came out of this session with all his bones intact.
