Don't Get Attached

"No, I wasn't. Definitely not. But I'd be crushing on you, if you were my teacher." she replied, sticking out her tongue to him.

"It sounds to me like you already are crushing on me." Shota sighed. That wasn't good. Hadn't she noticed all they had was sex? But he knew that was a lie, otherwise he wouldn't be training her. Damn it.

"Sure. Tell yourself that if it makes you feel better." Y/N replied with a smirk, but inside she was panicking. She was crushing on him, wasn't she? At first she thought it was just the way he made her feel when they had sex, that they were more like friends with benefits or something. But she knew she was just fooling herself. Anyway, it was only a crush and it would pass. Right? Right. So there was no reason to let him know. Shota hummed. That was good at least, but for all he knew, she could be lying. He shook off those thoughts before letting out a sigh.

"Throw me a punch."

"What, right now?" Y/N asked, looking surprised, but quickly shrugging and moving to punch him straight in the face.

"Yes."

Just when he had said yes, she hit him in the face full force. She hadn't really expected him to just... not react. She wouldn't have used all she had in that punch if she had known... well, what was done, was done now.

"Are you really trying?" Shota asked.

"I... yeah." Y/N replied, confused on why he was so nonchalant about it. She knew she wasn't extremely strong, but she was decent enough to throw a good punch. What was wrong with this guy?

"Tell me. Was that your best punch?"

"Y-yeah." Y/N muttered, hanging her head low. This was so embarrassing. How would she ever come back from that? Maybe she should just throw in the towel and quit being a hero. Maybe she just wasn't cut out for it. And she didn't really enjoy herself that much with the job. Surely there were a bunch of other jobs she could do that would still help people.

"It's good, but it's average. You wouldn't be able to knock out a villain with just your fists with that level of strength. You need more of that. That's where I come in." Shota said. "Hit me again."

Y/N took a deep breath, trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered ego. She could do this. She went to punch him again. Shota then caught her fist, twisting her arm, before rushing forward and kneeing her in the gut.

"Ah, fuck!" she groaned and folded over from the pain. She hadn't seen that coming. Not at all. But somehow she had a flash of genius and kicked the back of his knees, hoping to make him fall or at least stumble. Shota let out a silent grunt, staggering a bit, before using his strength as he then lifted Y/N up and over his shoulder, throwing her on the ground harshly. Y/N's vision went black for a second as the breath was knocked out of her lungs. That really fucking hurt. She better get some good dick later to make up for this.

"Get up." Shota said. He wasn't going to go easy. No one went easy if they were faced with someone who might send them to prison for the rest of their lives. His training was strict from the beginning ever since he planned it, and he was not going to be gentle. She had already seen his rough side. Y/N got up with a groan, her head still spinning. Fuck this guy. Why did she like him again?

"If you can't handle this, then you can't be a hero." Shota said. Y/N growled and charged at him again, not even sure what part of his body she was going for. Right now she was just mad at him for being such a dick. Shota dodged, before turning around as she passed him and elbowed her square in the back. Y/N coughed, when she felt the elbow hit her back and once again she found it hard to breathe, as she stumbled forward. She somehow managed to turn herself around, getting a hold of his elbow and pulling him to the side, kicking his legs to pull them away from underneath him.
