Chapter 108 Completely Smitten With Christopher
At that time, on the second floor, Sebastian and Wesley had just struck a business deal and were getting ready to leave. Wesley instinctively glanced down the stairs, only to be taken aback.
โSebastian, lookโฆโ
Sebastian cast a casual glance downward and caught sight of Christopher at once. He was grinning at Madelyn next to him, chatting away, and Madelyn responded with a smile.
Sebastianโs expression instantly turned incredibly dark as he witnessed this scene. Wesley clicked his tongue and mocked, โWell, what did I say, Sebastian? There are millions of women in this world, yet you have to choose a promiscuous one. Ah, what am I to say about youโฆโ
Sebastianโs expression immediately grew darker. Meanwhile, Christopher was basking in his own glory. His movements were so precise that even Skylar complimented him.
He laughed and turned toward Madelyn. โSee? What did I tell you? A simple move is no challenge to me.โ
Madelyn gave a disingenuous smile. โReally? Then youโre overthinking things. The real training is still a long way off.โ
โPfft, anyway, Iโm not scared at all.โ
โLetโs just wait and see then,โ Madelyn said with a smile, completely unaware that Sebastian was watching her.
โAll right, weโve done enough free training for today,โ Skylar announced. โNow, each of you should choose a partner. Prepare yourselves for some one-on-one training.โ
Janessa and Christopher couldnโt help but feel puzzled. Weโre just here as visitors. We donโt have to train too, right?
So, they asked, โCoach, what about us? Do we need to train as well?โ
Skylar turned around, casting a casual glance at them. โOf course. Now hurry up and find your partner!โ
The two were instantly stunned. No wayโฆ Weโre just here to watch. Why do we have to participate?
Skylar was incredibly strict, leaving them with no opportunity to refuse. โHurry up! In three minutes, I want to see you all with your partners confirmed!โ
The students became anxious and started to search for their partners frantically. Janessa looked at the multitude of students. What am I going to do?
Just then, Madelyn walked over and said with a sweet smile, โJanessa, how about we team up?โ
Janessa figured that, given their close relationship, Madelyn would likely go easy on her, so she immediately agreed.
At that moment, a large, robust man with broad shoulders approached and looked at Christopher. โHey, bro, shall we team up?โ
Upon seeing that person, Christopher immediately felt a sense of lingering fear. He seems incredibly strong. How can I possibly defeat him?
Just as he was about to refuse, he heard Madelynโs cheerful voice. โSure! Christopher, I think this gentleman is on par with you. Itโs a perfect opportunity for you to showcase your skills. Iโm rooting for you.โ
After finishing her words, Madelyn turned around and left. Christopher was taken aback. What on earth was that about? Is Madelyn deliberately trying to set me up?
At that moment, the big guy gave Christopher a pat on the back. โI look forward to training with you.โ
Christopher felt a wave of despair washing over him.
Before long, the one-on-one training match began. Skylar sternly instructed from the side, โThis is a training match to test your true abilities. Please respect your opponents and do not go easy on them. If you do, I will have you start over from the very first lesson. Do you understand?โ
โYes, Coach!โ everyone exclaimed in unison.
Following that, a few rounds of matches commenced. Everyone took Skylarโs words to heart, not giving each other any breaks. Skylar was quite pleased with this.
Soon, it was Christopherโs turn to face off against the big guy. Before the match began, Christopher was already trembling with fear. Iโm done for. If that big guy throws a punch at me, will I still be alive?
The big guy was indeed a straight shooter. Determined not to go easy, he immediately grabbed Christopherโs arm and executed a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw. The people nearby immediately burst into applause, commenting on his remarkably swift and graceful action.
Upon hearing the praise, the big guy laughed heartily. Christopher was already grimacing in pain. Despite the soft padding on the ground, he still felt a deep, dull ache.
Before he could even recover, he was hauled up by the big guy, who then began to hurl him around mercilessly. In no time at all, Christopher found himself dazed and disoriented from the fall. He looked like a total fool.
Watching this scene unfold, Madelyn couldnโt help but laugh uncontrollably at the side. She had no choice but to hide behind Skylar, laughing so hard that her stomach hurt. She was practically pounding the wall with laughter.
Oh, Christopher, youโre always so full of yourself. Now youโve finally tasted the bitterness of defeat.
When Sebastian and Wesley witnessed this scene, they exchanged glances without uttering a word.
โSomething seemsโฆ off?โ Wesley said, puzzled.
Sebastian was also confused. When he saw them together just now, his eyes had been filled with anger. But that moment, confusion reigned. Isnโt she completely smitten with Christopher? Why is she so thrilled to see Christopher getting beaten up?
After observing for a while, Wesley asked, โIs there something wrong with Madelyn? Is she ill?โ
As they were speaking, Skylar suddenly shouted, โStop!โ He stepped forward and sternly said, โThis student serves as a perfect example of what not to do. When he was being hit, he didnโt make any defensive moves. This is not the right way to handle such situations!โ
He then patiently instructed everyone on how to defend against certain things. After he finished speaking, he turned to Christopher and asked, โHave you learned it?โ
Christopher had already turned pale from being thrown around. Learn, my foot! Are you out of your mind?
In the end, he couldnโt hold it in and ended up throwing up right on the spot. Skylar observed him throwing up but didnโt seem perturbed. He said nonchalantly, โThis is the result of neglecting defense. If we fail to prepare for counterattacks during a match, weโll be continuously hit until we puke. I hope everyone remembers this.โ
Everyone nodded. Then Skylar allowed Christopher to take a breather before theโฆ
Janessa, upon seeing Christopherโs dreadful state, had already turned deathly pale from fright. It was her turn with Madelyn next. She couldnโt help but feel a shudder of fear at the realization that she had absolutely no knowledge of kickboxing.
Madelyn wonโt beat me up to that extent, right?
Just as she was lost in thought, Skylar called out, โMadelyn, Janessa, step forward!โ
Upon hearing her name, Madelyn confidently stepped forward, a sincere smile gracing her face as she looked at Janessa. Janessa, however, found it absolutely terrifying, her legs shaking uncontrollably.
An ominous premonition weighed heavily on her, driving her toward the brink of insanity. She raised her voice and said, โCoach, Iโm not even a student here. Do I really need to participate in this training?โ
