Wrestling Club

Ryoma loathed being short. Here he was, standing in the middle of a bunch of muscular guys in weird outfits. Wrestling club? Definitely not as fun as he thought it would be. He thought he could pummel annoying upperclassmen into the ground - looks like that was never going to happen.

"Okay, now that you've seen the basics, time to practice," the coach said. "Echizen Ryoma?"

"Hn," Ryoma stepped forward.

"You'll be up against Obinata Eiko," the coach informed. Ryoma raised an eyebrow. Obinata Eiko? What kind of boy name was that? It sounded pretty girly.

A large silhouette appeared in front of Ryoma and he gulped, looking up. He blinked, mouth slightly agape.

His opponent was a girl!

"Get him Eiko!" Some members cheered, and Eiko smirked. She was tall and muscular with short orange hair and black eyes. Was she human? Ryoma wasn't sure.

"Let's go punk," she sneered, getting into position. Ryoma's worried left him and he got in position, ready to fight. A girl couldn't be that hard to beat, could she?

"Begin!"

Ryoma lunged at her and before he could even touch her, she had him on the ground with a face full of smelly mat, unable to move. What the heck? He totally had her! Ryoma struggled but couldn't move.

"Winner Obinata!" The referee called out after counting.

Ryoma felt his face heat up as Eiko and all her muscles got off him and picked him up, set him on the ground, and dusted him off before going back to her corner. He felt so embarrassed! He just got his butt kicked by a girl!

"Round two!" The referee shouted, hitting the bell.

Ryoma got into a stance and was about to strike but he was too late. Eiko had him on the ground, again, and it was over within a minute. Like before, she picked him up, set him on the ground, and dusted him off before leaving the mat.

There went his pride.
