Chapter 7: {My First Dae Zhae Kuaun Class}

After school I walk to the gym. I decided that I should probably work out before I take my class.

I do that same weight routine I did last time. After that I go to Seulgi to ask what she recommends me to do next. She looked super bored so I felt like I should get her to do something

"Hey Seulgi, what seems like a good leg exercise machine here?" I ask her.

"Hmm, well besides just normal squats and weighted, I guess the climber works. Most leg exercises don't require a machine or special equipment. But a climber could work for you so you could work your thighs and get some cardio in." she replies.

"How long do you recommend?" I ask her. I know jack about working out so getting advice would be the best option. Plus she's bored out of her mind.

"8 sets of a minute works at first. You're lucky though, climbers only work for heavyset people. Climbers only work for big people to get a little smaller. So it definitely would work for you." She tells me.

I try the climber. And my goodness is this boring without music or something.

{Hey fatty come on! You have 6 minutes of this and you only need to work out once more this week}

{Dumb Pathetic Helpless Moron? You can't even do 8 minutes of basic cardio? How sad. That run earlier must have been a fluke then.}

I give up in 4 minutes. I couldn't handle DPHM being annoying without music in my ears to ignore it.

{Giving up already? How sad}

"I'll do something else." I say this out loud accidentally.

I go to the back machine, it's hard, but easy at the same time.

After that suffering. I check my completion status and it said 2/3 this week.

I just chill.

At 5:30 class starts and my GOODNESS the instructor is hot. What's wrong with me? Nothing. I'm a teenage boy.

I go in and guess what. Only two of us are there besides her.

Me and this other girl.

"Hi, I'm Coach Yoo-ji thanks for getting me payed another year, 239146 Won a month for only an hour a week is just easy money." my instructor said while putting her hand out to shake. She was chewing gum too, and it was LOUD.

"Hyun, nice to meet you." I say while shaking her hand.

"Likewise."

She does the same to the other girl there.

I introduce myself to the girl there.

"I'm Hyun. Nice to meet you." I say.

"Hi sexist, I'm Sangah." she replies absolutely disgusted.

"I'm not sexist, but if you think I am that's your problem. We're here to practice not getting our butts kicked." I say.

The girl was stunned and silenced at my answer, she was surprised that I could speak like I both didn't care and could care more all at the same time.

"Alright class here. This is the first, and most basic of moves in Dae Zhae Kuaun. The elbow strike. We have three main directions. You got to train all three directions with both elbows. The first, is the upward. Mainly to get someone in the jaw or groin if you're sitting down. Here's an example on the dummy. Here it is again. And one more time with the other arm. Now try it." Coach Yoo-ji said while doing this.

{Passive Mission 4: Practice, Practice, Practice. Whatever you're instructed that week, do the entire group 1000 times within the week. Reward: +5 CSY a week per group of skills learned. After a month of this, you will gain one level to your "Dae Zhae Kuaun" skill without skill points each month you practice}

"This makes sense, I also forgot I have one whole skill and it's passive. I have 2 skill points, nevermind, it needs 5." I say in my mind. All right.

"You two practice for 9 minutes, I'm gonna practice my Taekwondo while I wait." Coach Yoo-ji said. She's definitely a PE teacher or something.

"Hey get elbowing! There's two more elbows you learn today!" she screamed.

We practice elbowing upwards with both arms for 9 minutes.

"Alright, now, the wing strike. It's just the normal sideways elbow but in Dae Zhae Kuaun it's called the wing strike. Mastering elbows is one of the four key components of the discipline. Y'all know what it is. Practice for 9 minutes I'm going back to Taekwondo" Coach Yoo-ji says.

We practice for 9 minutes the wing strike. It starts to hurt, for a bit.

"Okay you two, last move of the day. This one's the hardest one. The hook wing. It's mainly used against the neck, it's banned in most tourneys so it's not that important, but for self defense this is a crucial technique. It's like this. It's called the hook wing because of what it starts. An inverted grab. Another key component of Dae Zhae Kuaun. Okay practice for the rest of the class." Coach Yoo-ji says.

We practice it and man this one feels weird to do.

"Alright that's it. Now get the hell out. There's an MMA class coming later." Coach Yoo-ji says.

"I'll consider you not sexist if you wing strike me in the stomach. I won't get mad." Sangah said. After a closer look, I can see that she's kinda cute.

"Alright. On three. One." I say while bopping her in the stomach with a wing strike.

She strikes me back.

"Alright respect, you're not cringe. Nice to meet you dude. See ya on Thursday." Sangah says while putting out her hand.

"See ya." I say shaking her hand.

"Huh, A dude that isn't a cringe sexist. Haven't seen that in a while. Maybe he could become my first guy friend, who the hell knows to be honest." Sangah says in her head.

After that I go home to take a shower. I was so tired. It's next door so I just go in. After my shower, I get dressed for my cheat day. Suho's paying for burgers and all I gotta do is pay for a Diet Joke and a salad instead of fries.

I try to dress nice since Jugyeong is going. I put on my jeans, a dark blue tee shirt, and a button up orange shirt that I keep unbuttoned for obvious reasons. Then I fix my hair, shave my mustache, not my beard, rub in some Novea cream to make it softer, and then put on my favorite pair of Orange Nobirds shoes.

Meanwhile with Jugyeong... <Author's Note, just stating the obvious, but something with "Meanwhile" indicates that Hyun doesn't know.>

"Ah hell! Man if Hyun wasn't going, I wouldn't be putting on makeup. Eh foundation, lipstick, and eyeliner should be enough right? It's not like an actual date or anything." Jugyeong said.

She spent like an hour picking out some clothes, she wanted to look nice, but also casual. She decided to just go with jeans, a nice blouse, and a jacket.

Then it was 6:30... <And back to Hyun>
