Everything's fake apparently. Calf kicks hurt like hell even if they barely graze you.

Her stance screams she's trained.

Don't you know the formula? 3 high school girls = 1 tank lol
A secretly filmed video.
It had spread all the way to the community sites and become a hot topic.
Most reactions were ones of surprise.
Well, girls' high schoolers trained in MMA aren't exactly common.
It might have blown over without much fuss if it stopped there.
But then the brain-dead comments started pouring in.

"Why the hell are you sharing someone else's Insta ID?"
I knew exactly what their goal was.
But it wasn't like there was any real exposure.
Her skirt just fluttered up a bit when she threw the calf kick.
And this gets them horny?
Plus, she's a high school girl?
"You animals."
I got pissed off out of nowhere and left a comment before I knew it.
The post was still hot, so replies came flying in right away.
"..."
I get the male urge to be attracted to pretty girls.
But being on the receiving end didn't feel great.
On a whim, I checked Insta.
Followers had gone up by about 1,000 in the meantime.
There were DMs from unknown people too.
@randomfan: Unnie you're total girl crush ㅠㅠ @calfkickfan: Noona, how do I get a calf kick from you? @jungseunghyun_kfn: Hello. This is Jung Seung-hyun, CEO of KFN. We're planning a fighting audition program called [High School Fighting King]... @creep: Kyaa~~~~ Strong girl. So cool~~~~ But they say strong girls have strong libidos too lol
"Ugh. Feels like I'm gonna puke."
I closed it immediately.
Part of me wanted to delete Insta altogether,
'But I can't just do whatever because of the sponsorship deals.'
It felt complicated, so I dropped it.
Not because I was attached to my 200k followers.
Definitely not.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Park O-yu-na had died yesterday.
And been reborn today.
The completely renewed her asked herself.
Who am I?
'Someone mutuals with Eun-ha-nim...!'
Mutuals with Go Eun-ha.
Something she'd never even dreamed of.
And now it was reality.
Life had changed.
She used to avoid her friends' eyes,
walk with hunched shoulders like a pill bug, all shriveled up.
But not anymore.
Now she was Go Eun-ha's friend and gym partner.
Remembering that straightened her shoulders naturally.
That was why Park O-yu-na's walk to school felt especially majestic today.
"Good morning!"
She arrived at the classroom and greeted loudly.
No response came back.
Because the classroom was empty.
If it hadn't been, she probably couldn't have greeted so boldly.
'Time to air it out. Sweep the floor too.'
She started cleaning like it was routine.
Not her turn, but she often took care of the classroom.
It was a lonely girl's secret hobby.
'Gotta clean extra thoroughly around Eun-ha's seat!'
After cleaning, she sat quietly at her desk, waiting.
Friends trickled in one by one,
and Park O-yu-na opened a book she never read, as always.
It felt awkward just sitting there doing nothing while others chatted.
8:50. 8:55. 8:58. 8:59...
'Why isn't Eun-ha here yet?'
Worried her friend might be late.
♩-♪♬-
The bell rang, and Go Eun-ha entered the classroom.
Messy hair. Wrinkled uniform.
No tie, one button done wrong.
Still, her beauty shone through.
'Even like that, Eun-ha looks pretty. If it were me, I'd look like a pitiful runaway teen...'
Decadent charm?
Or wild allure?
The other kids stared blankly too.
Only the homeroom teacher could resist the allure.
"Go Eun-ha. You're early for once. What's with that getup? Run into a bear on the way?"
"I'd be dead if I did."
She yawned hugely, jaw nearly unhinging, then slumped into her chair.
She looked exhausted.
"Alright. Wake up, prep for first period. Go Eun-ha, start coming early for real. This is your last warning."
First period began like that.
Park O-yu-na couldn't focus at all.
She was too excited for break time.
'How is Eun-ha so good at fighting?'
Yesterday's sparring replayed in her head.
Go Eun-ha's crisp, fast punches.
Fluid, technical grappling.
She moved like she was born for fighting.
'Is this what a real genius is like?'
Park O-yu-na had been called a genius too.
Especially in wrestling, inheriting her dad's genes, she could hang with guys.
Proven with 3-0 all finishes in amateur matches.
But meeting a true genius overwhelmed her.
The skill gap was too vast for jealousy.
'I wanna talk fighting with Eun-ha ASAP!'
That was all she wanted.
"Class dismissed. Good work."
The bell finally rang,
and Park O-yu-na shot up from her seat.
The moment she tried to approach Go Eun-ha.
Rush~
Students swarmed around Go Eun-ha.
Even kids from other classes.
"Go Eun-ha, you're famous now huh?"
"Teach me how to throw a calf kick too?"
"Me too me too!"
'Ugh. No room for me...'
O-yu-na sat back down quietly.
Her body sagging.
Like chocolate melting on a summer day.
'What was I even thinking... A total nerd like me could never get close to Eun-ha... Haha...'
Time passed like that,
and through second, third, fourth periods, even lunch,
O-yu-na couldn't talk to Go Eun-ha.
Just slumped over her desk in a funk.
Then a shadow fell over her.
"Hey, O-yu-na."
"Huh...?"
She looked up to see a girl with yellow-dyed hair glaring down.
Squinting eyes. Sharp teeth.
Shark-like face.
She grinned wickedly and asked.
"You really Mongolian?"
Beep-
Her 10 years of nerd instincts kicked in.
Park O-yu-na knew instantly.
"Say something in Mongolian then."
The yellow-hair had marked her as a toy.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Kids had been buzzing around me since morning.
Because of the video that went up on the community.
From "You train fighting?" to "Teach me calf kick," "Spar with me," even kids I never talked to stuck to me.
'Annoying.'
No way it felt good.
If it were cheers from a crowd, maybe.
But what's fun about attention from these brats?
I'd rather discuss fighting with O-yu-na right now.
She was sprawled at her desk, maybe something bad happened.
Or maybe sulking from getting wrecked in sparring.
Or maybe.
'That time of the month?'
Whatever, I wasn't in the mood to deal with annoyances when I felt off.
The problem was the yellow-hair girl starting to act up.
"Ridden a horse in Mongolia? All Mongolians raise eagles?"
"No wonder she's built like a tank~ Mongolian thing huh?"
"Tits huge like a pig too. What's with the face? Not offended? I meant cute like a pig?"
Yellow-hair and her crew laughed shrilly, spewing trash talk.
I could tell from their eyes and tone.
This wasn't innocent curiosity.
"Why'd you come to Korea? Like K-pop?"
"Uh, I like K-pop too but..."
"Yeah? Then dance."
"...?"
Yellow-hair suddenly blasted music.
And stared at O-yu-na.
"Hey. You ignoring me? I said dance."
"I, I'm not good at that..."
"Fuck. Lame."
It was a bit tense.
Worried O-yu-na might snap and suplex her.
Thankfully, no.
Park O-yu-na had a nerd personality despite her strength.
"S-sorry..."
"Just kidding~ Why so scared? Makes me look like the bad guy."
Yellow-hair grabbed O-yu-na's cheeks with both hands.
And stretched them out.
"Ooh. Chewy."
"Ow... It hurts..."
That was it.
I grabbed my slipper and took it off.
Smack-!
The slipper flew between O-yu-na and yellow-hair, hitting the wall.
Startled kids' eyes turned to me.
Yellow-hair glared too.
"Hey. Go Eun-ha. What the hell?"
"Oops. Foot slipped."
"That's a slip?"
"Yeah. A slip."
The classroom went cold.
I stood up and said.
"O-yu-na. Get my slipper."
"Ah... Okay..."
O-yu-na quickly fetched the slipper and slipped it on my foot.
Then hid behind me with her huge frame.
Yellow-hair cracked her neck and said.
"Got beef? Just say it. Don't pull attention stunts."
"What's your name again?"
"What?"
"Your name."
"Ha. You don't know me? Don't bullshit."
"For real, no clue. You famous?"
Early semester, could happen.
No name tags on these uniforms.
But yellow-hair took it as a taunt.
"Fuck. Who don't you know! Got celebrity disease or what, you crazy bitch...!"
She was pissed.
Ready to throw down.
I loaded my counter too.
But no clash.
Her friends held her back.
"A-ri, hold it."
"She's nuts from brain damage, common knowledge."
"And you know fighting now means real trouble."
"Fuck. Annoying..."
Now I remembered.
Her name was Yang A-ri.
Yang A-ri swept her hair back, calming down.
"Go Eun-ha. Think you're hot shit for beating Shim Ju-wan? I could trash him one-handed."
Laser-like glare.
She warned as she passed by.
"So chill out. Unless you wanna get wrecked."
Yang A-ri left the classroom.
The frozen atmosphere thawed a bit.
Kids swarmed me immediately.
"Go Eun-ha. Watch out for Yang A-ri."
"Why?"
"She's infamous. Used to go to an all-boys high, Muay Thai national team reserve or something."
"Yeah. Transferred here after causing trouble."
"Heard she almost went to juvie?"
"Rumors say she already did time."
Sounded like she threw hands a bit.
Not that impressive.
Rumors get exaggerated.
Never seen a street tough who was actually good.
But Yang A-ri was more interesting than expected.
"Heard she's entering that fighting audition too."
Fighting audition.
My ears perked up.
"You know Jung Seung-hyun? First Korean to fight for UFC title. He's hosting, name was...?"
"High School Fighting King!"
"Right. Concept's picking the strongest high school girl."
"Anyway, if Jung Seung-hyun scouted her personally, she must be legit."
Jung Seung-hyun had the best career in Korean fighting.
Retired now, but starting his own org to keep the fame.
An audition he hosted would draw eyes.
And.
"I'm entering too."
"What...?"
"High School Fighting King. They contacted me too."
I was one of the scouted ones too.
