I am the Entertainment Tycoon

"Let's pause for a while." Theo suddenly said in the middle of his spar with Shizuka.

"I have to instruct the girls." He added as he looked at June, Sayuri, and Sam.

The three of them had just finished their five minutes running around the tatami.

Now Theo had to give them their next instructions.

Shizuka nodded to express that she understood.

She still wanted to keep fighting, but she knew that Theo had to supervise the other girls too.

"Girls, you did great! Now It's time for the next part of the training." Theo declared as she looked at the three panting girls.

The girls were so tired that they could not even muster the energy to reply.

"You came here to learn self-defense techniques, so I chose a mix of moves from different fighting styles. Jiu-Jitsu, Krav Maga, Karate, and Judo. It seems a lot, but I assure you that with time you will be able to perform them without problems." Theo explained with a calm face.

The girls were a little excited when they heard that, even though they were not knowledgeable in martial arts, they still were able to notice that they would learn cool moves.

"Listen closely to what I will say now, okay?" Theo said with a serious voice.

The girls could see that Theo was serious, so they paid extra attention.

Even Shizuka was looking at him with curious eyes.

She wanted to see how Theo would teach newbies.

"No matter how proficient you achieve in your martial arts. The first thing you should do if someone attacks you is to run!" He declared with a profound voice.

"Because no matter how skillful you are. You can not win against a gun or a sharp knife edge. Even myself with all my skills can not do that." His serious voice sounded.

The girls also had serious faces when they heard that.

"If someone attacks you. First search for an escape route, and if possible escape from the attacker. No matter how confident you are to win the fight. Remember! With only one mistake your life can be over. Your life is much more important than winning the fight." Theo declared.

The girls were silent as his word seeped into their minds.

This was Theo's first lesson to them, and they did not want to forget it.

"But the world we are living in is not perfect. Sometimes even when we want to escape, the circumstances do not allow us to run away. It can be several people around you or it can be that you're trapped in a place without an escape route. And it is because of these situations that we learn self-defense techniques. This way you can defend yourself if you can not escape." He explained with a patient voice.

The girls had shining eyes when they heard that.

They finally understood the reason for these classes.

"And the first thing you will learn is how to defend yourself. After all, it doesn't matter if you know how to attack if you're not capable of defending yourself." Theo reasoned.

The girls nodded in approval with his words.

"Today's class will be exclusive for you to practice the fighting stance. With this stance, you can protect all your vital areas." He explained.

"Let me show you." Theo said as he assumed the fighting stance.

With this stance, his hands protected his head and his forearms protected his abdomen area.

Theo explained the stance and asked the girls to copy him.

After a few minutes, where Theo was adjusting their stances, he nodded in approval as he saw their stances.

Even though they were stiff and having trouble maintaining that, it was a necessary step.

"Burn this position into your minds, girls!" Theo declared loudly.

"Now, you will punch each other without leaving the stance. It doesn't need to be a strong punch. I will observe you. And each time any of you do the stance wrongly, the person who did wrong will do 10 squats and 10 situps." Theo explained their exercise.

The girls despaired when they heard that, they knew that they would not be able to maintain this position for long, so they already knew that they would have to pay multiple punishments.

Theo knew that it would be hard for them, but it was for their own good.

With this punishment, they would pay more attention to their stance.

"Begin!" Theo shouted and the three girls started their hellish training.

Theo and Shizuka observed the girls for a while.

And Theo already issued a punishment for the three of them in the first 10 seconds.

It would not be easy training for these girls.

"Aurora, Ayia! Finish your spar! Come here!" Theo shouted as he looked at the two girls who were fighting the whole time while Theo was instructing Sam, June, and Sayuri.

Shortly after, Ayia and Aurora finished their spar and walked toward him with sweaty faces.

"Let's trade partners. Ayia will fight me and Aurora will fight Shizuka." He declared as he looked at the three girls looking at him.

"Free styled." He added.

A free-style spar was when the fighters could use any technique from any fighting style they knew.

But this one was a little different because they were not allowed to use elbow techniques.

but that was for their own safety.

Ayia almost screamed in joy when she heard that she would spar with Theo.

Even though the idea of fighting with her crush might not sound romantic to other people, Ayia found the idea particularly appealing and exciting.

The girls nodded and the pair stood in front of each other.

Aurora x Shizuka.

Ayia x Theo.

"Begin!" Theo shouted.

The pair immediately bumped gloves and the spar started.

Aurora was once again fighting against a master.

The 6th Dan Black Belt Shizuka was using all her experience in her fight against Aurora.

But she was as surprised as Ayia was as the fight went on.

Even though she was not using all her strength, she still used some Judo techniques to make Aurora fall.

But the amazing thing was that Aurora was using strange techniques to defend herself.

All her training anti-fall that she had with Theo was being used to defend against the master in front of her.

While the two girls were fighting.

Theo and Ayia were also fighting.

He decided to only use his Judo, Jiu-Jitsu, Karate, and Krav Maga proficiencies.

That was because Ayia was only proficient in Judo and Karate and he wanted her to learn some Jiu-Jitsu and Krav Maga techniques.

After all, if he used all his strength, she would not be able to learn much.

At the end of the day, this was a class, not a fight club.

But even with Theo not using all his strength, Ayia was beyond shocked as the fight went on.

The 4th Dan Black Belt in Karate and Judo had to use all her quick mind and experience to resist Theo's assault.

Ayia was just one dan below Shizuka, so she was also a master.

But even then, she was struggling.

Theo was not showing any mercy to her.

"Do not be so defensive! Show me your moves!" Theo shouted as she defended against a kick on her thigh.

Ayia felt her heart beat faster than she already was beating when she heard that.

She wanted to show him that she knew how to attack too!

From that moment on, Ayia started attacking too.

Even though she was not able to connect any blow on him, she was still happy.

The training went on, and Theo spared Aurora, Shizuka, and Ayia at least 3 times.

The girls had nervous hearts each time they faced him, he did not show mercy even to his sister.

But Theo did that because he wanted to instill the fighting sense that every fighter should have.

While the 4 people fought, the three newbies struggled in their hellish training.

Multiple times they wanted to give up, but when that happened Theo's magnetic and forceful voice woke them up.

"Let's end for today!" Theo shouted suddenly.

As soon as he said that, the six girls fell on the tatami with panting and sweaty bodies.

They were so tired.

Theo looked at their figures with a smile on his face.

He loved seeing these girls becoming skillful fighters.

Would they be able to beat some daring guys in the future?
