(Timeskip- 4 months)

These four months is eventful for me. I made a few friends besides nayeon. But I'm still socially awkward. Others still view me as cold-hearted and snobbish. Well, Ican't blame them since it's too difficult for me to approach someone.

I also did my best in school since I still have a deal with my mom. I was the valedictorian in our classroom, which is rather easy considering I have a mind of an adult. Then mom finally agreed. She finally allowed me to join clubs and other activities, but she warned me that if I failed in any subject, she'll immediately pull me out.

So I requested her to enroll me in a dojo. I still want to learn taekwondo after all. She sighed as she reluctantly agreed and brought me to a dojo. I met a man there, his face is quite scary and he has a bulky build and he was the teacher there, but that won't make me quit this class.

I saw the man took a glance at me while talking to my mom. Eventually, they agreed to let me train taekwondo.

I managed to impress the teacher since I already learned the basic stances in taekwondo, but his teachings are strict. I know that learning martial arts will be painful especially for me since I'm a 8 year old kid. But I told him that I am ready since a long time ago. He finally nodded and trained me very strictly. His punshments are severe even for me, but that won't make me falter.

It also improved my stats quite a bit and earned me my 3rd skill which I got from being punished and the mock fights always held in the dojo.

I know that training with a master will boost my exp gaining. But I never know that it was this much. Well, no use worrying, I guess. I was praised for being a prodigy since I managed to climb into an orange belter within the 2 months.

I always go home full of bruises, which worried my mother. But I told her that I'm okay and it won't make me quit.

Nayeon was also quite worried. I sometimes go to school with patches on my skin because of bruises. My time playing with them also lessened since I spent quite a lot of time training. But I always played with them when I am available.

One day, I was walking across the hall when someone bumped into me. He was quite big and I know that he's a year higher than me judging from his appearance.

"Hey, douche. Where'd you get that bruise, from your mommy?"

He and his friends laughed but I decided to ignore them since meddling with them will just cause trouble.

"Hey, you're ignoring me?"

I just continued to walk towarda the classroom when suddenly, I felt a fist approaching me. I heard a 'ding!' inside my head which I think came feom my skill. My arm unconsciously moved and twisted the boy's arm. Following my muscle memory, my leg took a step forward and my body lifted the boy's whole body. He was flipped in a 360° angle that he fell face-flat on the floor.
