Mine, no matter what

Instant connection

Iris POV

Oh-my-God! Just.. Wow, I am drooling. This is the most perfect man I've ever seen. Listening and watching him, I couldn't stop myself from thinking about me and this nature masterpiece. After the introduction to the group, I found the courage to approach him. Like I thought, he didn't even notice me. Who am I kidding, of course, he wouldn't notice someone like me. I am way out of his league. So, I pushed a little bit. Clearing my throat, I snapped him out of his daze. I stretched my hand and introduced myself, but he kept staring. Eventually, he shook my hand and told me that his name was Damian. Electricity sparked where we touched, and I flinched a bit. On the other hand, that didn't make an impact on him. He just held my hand, looking me straight in the eyes, piercing through my soul. I felt weak and confused. How someone may have this kind of impact on my body and mind? It's like, I felt an instant connection with him. The talk was short and weird.

After that, we took our groups and started our first session. I was very excited, and so are the girls. We learned about basic stuff, I showed them some tricks on how to predict opponents' moves. Everything was going smoothly until I heard some boys gossiping about me behind my back. They were mocking me, talking that I am just some weak baby girl and that they don't know how I got here. To say that I was pissed is an understatement. I turned around, noticing that Damian was already stepping to scold them, but he stopped when he saw my angry face. "Would some of you guys want to see how weak I am?" The place was quiet, and attention was on me. "Every one of us could handle you with one hand," The biggest of the group told me. "How about this? I will fight with all three of you, with just one hand?" They started to laugh uncontrollably and watched like I have some third eye growing on my forehead. They stopped when they saw I am dead serious. "We don't want to hurt you, and we don't want to have problems with our trainer and director." Now is my turn to laugh. "We didn't even start the fight, and you already found an excuse. Pff. Damian, Paul, I ask for your permission to fight with these polite young men. Is that a problem?" Paul was smiling, pretty amused, considering that he knows about my skills. But Damian looked at me, pretty worried. I nodded my head to him, to assure him that I can handle this. Although, I felt a pang in my heart cause he thinks that I will get harmed probably. He was hesitant but eventually agreed. I smiled at him, and told the boys "Let the party start."

As I promised, I tied my hand behind my back and took a stance in the middle of the ground. Everyone rounded us to watch the fight. They didn't know that I am left-handed, so they thought that I tie my stronger arm. I smiled to myself, waiting for the surprise boys. They took a stance around me, and I calmed myself so I can predict their movements. The guy to my left moved his leg back, so I knew he will charge at me first. I was right, he tried to hit me with his fist, I quickly dodged and kicked him with a back kick right in his nose. Bones cracked and he fell to the ground holding his broken nose, blood oozing on his shirt. "One down, two to go." My move pissed the boys even more. One went behind my back to grab me so that the other one could hit me. I used that to quickly jump and hit the boy in front of me with both of my legs. He stumbled a little, so I used the momentum to get rid of the guy who is holding me. I kicked his nose, with the back of my head, and when he let go of his hold, I kicked him with my leg in his plexus. He lost his air and fell to his knees. I watched carefully the third boy who started the whole mess. He is the only one without a broken nose. But my double leg kick seems to break his ribs and he just hangs his head with embarassment. "And that is, how you fight girls when you have multiple opponents. Thank you guys for this presentation, my girls learned from this today." I said to them and untied my hand. Paul had a smirk on his face, nodding in approval. But Damian.. He, for the first time today, looked at me with admiration. I felt proud and happy to see those emotions on his face.
