Stealing Spree

Chapter 495: Instructor Ruki (4)

Once I had them stand up and began with their first set of exercises, everything went smoothly.𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Although the grade-schoolers were having a hard time perfecting the exercise I told them, I also mentioned that they shouldn’t force themselves to do so when they really couldn’t.

This wouldn’t be the only lesson we would be having.

As some of the sayings that followed quoted, ‘Practice makes perfect’ and ‘Baby steps towards success’. One doesn’t need to be excellent on the first try. Besides, theyʼre still young.

This Training Program with me will just be one block among the others that they will accumulate if they truly begin their journey on Boxing or even if they decide to switch to another sport.

I am never truly great at anything. But with repetition, I managed to achieve my goals. Like stealing someone for my desire or for a more normal comparison, like how I eventually built fighting experience against those thugs or how I became this fit, if that’s how they see it.

As for the middle-schoolers, since some of them already had an experience, I only needed to guide them a bit and they began doing things on their own. All I had to do was to watch them and correct them when they’re doing something wrong.

I also told them not to push it. When they do feel the exhaustion, they should stop and rest their bodies.

I mentioned to their mothers that I would train them without letting them go home exhausted and in pain because of too much exertion.

As for my girls, who were all eagerly waiting for my guidance, I naturally made sure not to send a wrong impression to those watching.

Nonetheless, even though Akane and Aika could do the exercise without guidance, they still acted as if they needed one just for me to be at their side.

The ones who truly needed the assistance were Yukari, Elizabeth, Miho and Yua.

Although they all tried to sneakily flirt with me just like what Elizabeth did before the start of the program, I saw how they’re all taking the lessons seriously, becoming role models for those younger than them.

I appreciate that so… I made sure to give them service that went unnoticed by the mothers who were observing and Coach Ayu who’s trying to catch if these girls had something to do with me.

She’s still not convinced that they’re only Sena’s schoolmates.

Well, the girls were all fairly close to me when we arrived earlier so that’s normal for her to be suspicious.

However, since I could do things covertly if I wanted to, it would be hard for her to catch us in the act. Unless we blatantly show her our relationship, Coach Ayu could only circle around her suspicion.

After around two hours, five sets of the exercises I prepared for today were completed.

There were breaks and lessons in between each exercise that’s why it took that long.

Fortunately, none of my students for today gave up. In fact, a lot of them still had that sparkle in their eyes as if they’re waiting for more exercise that they would be able to do even at home.

That’s the point why I was letting them give up if they find it hard to do anyway.

Since I would only conduct the lessons on weekends, I would be relying on them to do the exercises to build up their stamina during the weekdays.

And I made sure to let the mothers watching behind hear that.

Ichihara-san understood my message and she relayed it to the other mothers.

Thankfully, none of them found it excessive.

I guess I should also be thankful that I didn’t need to let them do something I prepared for those who would only enroll to ogle at Sena or any of my girls. That would be pushing these middle schoolers and grade-schoolers to their limit.

If someone like that showed up tomorrow, I guess I would only make it harder for them.

“Here should be the best time to end our lesson for today. However, looking at all of you… do you want to know a simple trick?” I raised my fist as a gesture that the trick I was going to tell them was related to boxing.

This should be the time for me to add a self-defense method that’s quite close to the sport itself.

“Yes!” the grade schoolers and middle schoolers all shouted in chorus.

Well, not all but that’s about the majority of them and none appeared to be against it.

As for my girls, it’s already a given that they would be nodding their heads with beautiful smile on their faces.

They’re all like that throughout the program. It’s like they were enjoying watching me act as ‘Instructor Ruki’. Every time I would draw near them, they would be somewhat overjoyed.

And every time that would happen, Coach Ayu would peel her eyes to observe me completely.

Now I was beginning to wonder if she was here to observe the entirety of the program or prevent me from being close to Sena’s ‘schoolmates’.

“Alright. Let me call a special instructor that will help me demonstrate it to you… Sena, it’s your turn.” I turned to the girl who had long finished her set of exercises and switched to spectating her boyfriend acting as a boxing instructor.

As soon as Sena heard me, she happily hopped from where she was towards me. And without restraining herself or perhaps she was showing it off to the girls at the back, Sena hugged my arm tightly as she said ‘hello’ to my students.

Upon witnessing that, their curiosity naturally flared up as they began questioning my relationship with her.

I answered them truthfully and that evoked various reactions from them. Some of the boys were nodding as if they approved of us as a couple, while the others were somewhat jealous that the Onee-san they were glancing at since earlier is my girlfriend.

They’d seen us coming out of the area where the changing room was located earlier but it probably hadn’t sunk into them that we’re in a relationship.

As for the middle school and grade school girls, some showed understanding of the situation, some were too hyped up and a little portion of them expressed some kind of jealousy.

And lastly, as I expected, Akane and the others were pouting once more. All of them wanted to take Sena’s role, even Yukari who was somewhat self-conscious of her erotic body.

In any case, after that small commotion when I introduced Sena, we began about that trick I told them I would teach them.

It’s simple, really. I will be teaching them how to throw a proper jab.

“First, watch how Sena will do it. By learning this, you can use it to protect yourself. However, I will not advise you to use it to hurt or bully someone.” I announced as I turned my body sideways to face them.

While I was explaining the fundamentals of a jab, Sena was demonstrating how to do it.

And naturally, I wore a boxing mitt on my hand for her to aim the jab there. There’s no way I would let my face be punched for a demonstration.

After showing it to them, I began calling them one by one to the front to copy what she did.

There were those who got in on a first try. And there were those who couldn’t deliver it properly.

I would commend those who successfully threw a jab on the mitt and offer more pointers while I would patiently correct those who failed before commending them as well.

As for my girls, they’re all successful at doing it and without acting impartial, I commended all of them which put a smile on their faces.

Just like this, my first part-time job drew to an end.

When I finished my closing remarks, Ichihara-san along with the other mothers behind clapped their hands and commended me.

Copying them, the students also did the same before bowing to me and thanking me for the lesson.

Well, they all paid and I would be receiving my pay soon so I wasn’t really expecting this kind of reaction.

Nonetheless, I still took it and bowed towards them, thanking them for trusting me.

“Onoda-sensei is truly exceptional. Too bad I will not be able to observe again…” While having a somewhat defeated expression, Ichihara-san talked to me directly before going out of the gym with her grade schooler daughter.

All of them already paid upfront so they would be leaving as soon as they left this hall.

“I’m sorry about that, Ichihara-san. I will take good care of your daughter. Teach her not only how to box but also to protect herself.”

“Un. That’s what I wanted to hear.” Ichihara-san smiled as she looked at her daughter who still appeared energetic despite the exercises she went through. “I told you that I will be stricter with my observations. Surprisingly, you passed with flying colors. I wonder if all the instructors here are like you.”

“I actually have no idea. Everyone has their own style of teaching and for me… it’s as you observed.”

Ichihara-san contemplated for a while before replying. “Hmm. Is that so? Sensei is one of a kind then.”

“Thank you for the compliment, ma’am.”

“Ma’am, huh? I’d like it if sensei didnʼt feel too distant when it comes to me. We’ll be seeing each other every weekend from now on.”

“Do you mean…?”

“Un… I decided to trust sensei for my daughter. She’s somewhat frail and uninterested in exercising but you managed to make her interested in it.”

“I’m glad that’s the case.”

After a few more exchanges, Ichihara-san finally said goodbye as she guided her daughter outside the premises. Looking at her departing back… it marked that I truly succeeded in conducting this program.

In any case, the evaluation still lies with Coach Ayu and Hisa-jii who I will have a meeting with soon after I finish up here.
