The Female Leads Truly Loves You - Chapter 170

Chapter 170: What was she looking at?
“Officer Aurora, you meant this all along?”

It wasn’t until Sam was seated in Aurora’s car, speeding through city streets to their destination, that the gravity of the situation truly dawned on him. Compared to what he had imagined… this was a disaster!

What appeared before Sam was not some themed love hotel but, least likely of all, a mixed martial arts club.

Yes, despite not expecting anything specific, Sam certainly hadn’t anticipated “deepening their conversation” would involve this!

“What’s the plan here?”

Aurora’s lips curled into a slight smile. “Exactly this, what else did you think?”

“Ah… nothing, just didn’t expect mixed martial arts, that’s all.”

Sam could only offer an awkward smile in response.

Aurora’s casual gaze seemed to see right through him as she smiled. “When I’m not busy, I come here to punch a few rounds, get some practice in. It just so happens, didn’t you mention wanting to learn some practical combat skills? No time like the present, right?”

Sam suddenly had a bad feeling. While this did seem like something he wanted, the smile on Aurora’s face suggested it might not be that simple.

Could she be seeking some form of revenge?

No, that couldn’t be it; they had no personal grievances.

Still, Sam followed the effortlessly cool woman upstairs, under the glow of the neon lights.

Just inside the door, Sam was greeted with an array of sounds.

“Bang!”

“Heh!”

“Ha!”

“Bang!!”

The noise of punches and kicks filled the air, not just loud but frequent.

As Sam turned his head, he could clearly see the excitement growing on Aurora’s face. She led Sam inside, navigating the space with familiarity.

They quickly found a section resembling an octagon cage, except without an actual wire cage surrounding it. Two men wearing protective gear were sparring inside, both of whom were well-built, with clearly defined muscles, and fighting fiercely.

Despite the protective gear, Sam, with his keen eyesight, could still spot bruises on the exposed skin of the fighters. It was evident that neither was holding back, despite it being a sparring session.

Aurora then called out to one of the men on the platform. “Coach Joseph, good evening.”

The two men paused, surprised to see the woman below.

“Ah! Officer Aurora, you’re here!” The man quickly removed his helmet and gloves and approached.

The cheerful man, upon seeing Sam, asked in surprise, “Is this a friend of Officer Aurora?”

Aurora replied with a smile, “He couldn’t possibly be a criminal I’ve just caught, could he?”

The man, Joseph, laughed heartily. “That was a joke, wasn’t it? No criminal could be that handsome. Hey, bro, I’m Joseph, the head coach of this martial arts club, and often Aurora’s punching bag. Nice to meet you.”

He extended his hand.

Sam, taken aback by the frank introduction, also smiled and reached out. “I’m Sam, a student at Kuhang High School.”

As their hands met, Sam immediately felt the strength in Joseph’s arm, with veins visibly straining against the skin.

The palpable strength in Joseph’s grip and the rough calluses on his palm indicated a level of physical training far beyond the ordinary.

Joseph appeared genuinely surprised. “A student, huh? My goodness, Officer Aurora, you’re full of surprises. And here I was wondering why you haven’t been interested in any of the fine members here, but it turns out you’ve set your sights on a high schooler?”

Aurora shot a cold look in return. “Have you not sparred with me for a while and now want to taste it again?”

Joseph immediately shrank back, removing his hand from Sam’s and chuckling. “Just a little joke… no need to take it so seriously…”

Could it be that Aurora’s combat skills are so formidable that even a dedicated martial arts coach feels intimidated?

It was hard to imagine. After all, Aurora appeared to have a fit but slender build, in contrast to Joseph’s much more robust physique.

How extraordinary must her fighting ability be?

Aurora turned to Sam.

“Alright, enough banter. Get ready. Put the protective gear on him. We’ll start soon. I’ll teach him myself; you just show him some basic blocking techniques.”

Joseph’s eyes widened. “Starting off with such intensity? You’re personally taking this on?”

Then, turning to Sam, he sighed. “Bro, you must have committed sins graver than any criminal. How did you manage to offend Officer Aurora?”

Sam looked puzzled. “Is it really that exaggerated?”

Aurora had already gone to the changing room, presumably to change into more suitable attire.

Joseph shook his head, reflecting. “I don’t know about others, but most people come here to learn martial arts or to strengthen and condition their bodies.

But Officer Aurora? She came here for fun on her first day. And let me tell you, every coach in this club has been her sparring partner, and without exception, not one has been able to beat her. And the minor injuries, occasional fractures, dislocations… those are pretty standard occurrences around her.”

Aurora… she was that formidable?

Sam’s thoughts suddenly drifted to another person, specifically the woman who acted as Angel’s bodyguard and driver, resembling a ‘robot’ in her efficiency and stoicism.

Who would win in a fight between Elowen and Aurora?

It’s hard to say—one is a close bodyguard from a major financial dynasty, and the other is a female police officer hailing from a kendo family.

If Aurora was looking for a worthy opponent, Elowen would undoubtedly be an excellent choice. But why involve Sam in a sparring match?

Joseph quickly helped Sam get into his protective gear, covering his torso, head, and shins.

After triple-checking everything was securely in place, he began to teach Sam how to adjust his stance to block attacks more effectively.

“With all this talk, you won’t master it immediately. But remember, to learn martial arts, you must first learn to take a hit. I doubt Officer Aurora would want to hit you too hard. Just protect yourself and give it your best!”

Sam offered a wry smile to Joseph. “Is that your final piece of advice?”

Joseph blinked. “What else could I say? Offer a last will and testament? By the way, did you buy insurance?”

“…You’re unbelievable.”

“Ha-ha-ha, don’t worry, you’ll get used to it. It’s going to be tough at the start. But hey, we’re men, right? Just let her have her way!”

Before Sam could respond, a voice called out. “Are you done? If you’re ready, come up to the platform.”

It was Aurora, now dressed in a sporty tank top and shorts, showcasing her impressive physique. Her toned abdomen and visible muscle on her arms were undeniable proof of her strength.

Her hair was still tied in a high ponytail, making her an irresistibly striking figure.

Aurora’s healthy, wild beauty could stir the deepest desires in any man.

“Aren’t you wearing a helmet?”

Sam stood up, curious about Aurora’s choice to forgo a helmet.

She only wore gloves and shin guards, leaving her head and torso unprotected, which seemed vulnerable to him.

Aurora glanced at Sam with a slight smile. “The protective gear is for your protection, not mine.”

Was she underestimating him?

Did she doubt the capabilities of a protagonist crafted by the system, albeit one without formal combat training or specific bonuses in martial arts.

Yet, Sam’s strength, speed, and reflexes were beyond those of an ordinary person.

“What if I accidentally hurt you? Would that count as assaulting an officer?”

Joseph, watching from below, almost burst into laughter at Sam’s comment.

Aurora seemed amused. “Give it a try. Don’t worry, I won’t take it personally. I’m actually looking forward to seeing if you can land a punch. Come at me.”

Standing her ground with a challenging demeanor, Aurora transformed as she entered her combat mode.

Her aura shifted, giving Sam a glimpse of how she must apprehend criminals: focused, sharp-eyed, and intimidating, making Sam feel as though he was being targeted.

Sam moved cautiously, aware that Aurora was prepared to strike from any direction.

He focused, determined not to lose. After all, he was the male lead; losing to a woman would be embarrassing.

Both seemed to be sizing each other up, but it was Sam who attacked first.

Seizing an opportunity, he charged at Aurora with impressive speed and power.

Sam held nothing back.

Aiming a punch at her face, he reasoned that since it wasn’t considered assaulting an officer, there was no need to hold back, regardless of his opponent’s gender.

Unexpectedly, Aurora’s reaction was remarkably swift. With a slight tilt of her head, she dodged the punch, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes at Sam’s speed.

However, this brief moment of astonishment didn’t affect her judgment or composure.

As she sidestepped Sam’s punch, her body didn’t move away completely. Instead, she lifted her leg and delivered a fierce kick to Sam’s abdomen.

“Bang!!”

The sound was dramatic, and the force Sam felt was equally substantial, his body taking a step back.

Even with his enhanced physique, Aurora’s kick nearly sent him tumbling to the ground.

The retreat created an opening.

Aurora followed the principle of pursuing her advantage aggressively.

“Bang!”

A punch struck Sam squarely in the ribs, a vulnerable spot, thankfully protected by gear.

Otherwise, Sam suspected his ribs might have been broken. His form staggered under the impact.

“Bang!!”

“Ha!”

Another kick from Aurora targeted Sam’s shin. Despite the protection, the immense force nearly brought him to his knees.

It seemed Sam had little chance to retaliate, turning into an ideal sparring partner for Aurora.

She didn’t aim to knock him out but kept attacking from various angles, inducing a sense of helplessness in Sam. He barely managed to defend himself, and whenever he tried to counterattack, Aurora skillfully evaded and struck him from another direction with proficient technique.

Thanks to the system’s enhancement, Sam’s attributes had significantly improved, making him much stronger than the average person. Without this advantage, he would likely have been down on the platform, unable to stand.

Joseph from below was in awe.

“Incredible, is this what being young is about? He really can take a beating… Maybe it’s better to just lie down at this point, it’s painful just watching.”

Sam could have chosen to simply lie down.

But giving up at the first sign of defeat? That was not his style. He was determined to strike back, even if just once.

Despite feeling pain throughout his body, Sam remained alert, focusing intently on Aurora’s movements.

Her enthusiasm was evident, her attacks seemingly endless. Yet, even Aurora had her physical limits, and the relentless assault was clearly draining her energy, her movements beginning to slow.

Seizing what seemed like a momentary pause for breath on her part, Sam charged at Aurora.

She reacted swiftly, almost anticipating his move, her lips curling into a disdainful smirk as if to say, “Is that all?”

As Sam’s figure charged past, missing his target and exposing his back, Aurora didn’t miss the opportunity for a counterstrike. She aimed a high kick at Sam’s back—but missed.

Unexpectedly, Sam had crouched down, dodging her kick.

In that moment of realization, Aurora sensed something was amiss. She hadn’t anticipated Sam’s quick reaction, his crouch turning into a swift pounce in her direction.

Aurora instinctively aimed a punch at Sam’s face. The punch connected, the protective gear and gloves absorbed much of the impact.

Sam’s head merely tilted from the force, but his body unable to halt the momentum.

And then, with a “Bang!”, Sam had wrapped his arms around Aurora’s soft body, bringing them both to the ground.

Aurora was caught off guard, her senses momentarily overwhelmed by the mix of Sam’s sweat and their close proximity. She immediately attempted to rise and free herself.

But Sam firmly held Aurora down, maintaining his grasp.

Aurora launched herself at Sam with a flurry of punches and kicks, heedless of everything else.

“Let go, you jerk! What do you think you’re doing?”

Sam felt as though he had been transported into the midst of a heated manga, shouting back in defiance.

“I can’t let go! There’s no other chance to win but now!”

“You’re insane! Watch it, or I’ll go all out on you!”

Despite the pain coursing through his body, Sam felt like he could withstand it all under the adrenaline’s influence.

“Then just beat me! Don’t you dare underestimate me?”

Feeling Aurora’s body writhing beneath him, though she was hitting him, Sam became acutely aware of her physical attractiveness.

Aurora, on top of Sam’s chest, twisted and rubbed against him lightly. The harder she moved, the harder Sam pressed back, making their physical contact even more pronounced.

Joseph below was dumbfounded.

What was happening?

Something seemed off.

Why was Aurora’s face getting redder?

Indeed, Aurora felt strange; her strength waning and her stamina draining more and more.

Thus, her movements became less vigorous.

Sam seemed to only notice the decrease in her resistance, seizing what he believed to be the best opportunity.

He flipped over.

And then positioned himself atop Aurora’s waist, astonishingly pinning the officer beneath him.

He looked at her triumphantly.

“I won!”

Of course, Aurora wasn’t ready to admit she’d lost to Sam on their first encounter.

She was about to accuse him of playing dirty, but the moment she looked at Sam, her gaze was drawn elsewhere.

It was positioned just below Sam’s waist.

Right in the middle of his pants.

That noticeable bulge.

It was quite exaggerated, really exaggerated.

Aurora wasn’t a child, and although she lacked sexual experience, she could tell at a glance what it was.

The size of his penis… Was it really that exaggerated?

Right there in his pants, directed straight at Aurora. It was as if she was aiming a gun at a criminal.

What a bad parable!

Aurora was suddenly speechless, her face flushed with color.

Sam did not hear Aurora concede defeat.

He looked at her curiously, noticing her rosy cheeks and the way her gaze was fixed on a certain part of his body, almost in a daze…

What was going on? What was she looking at?
