Chapter 74: All Day Long

After the break for lunch, with both Rita and Alice eating in tense silence at his table and scaring the other students away, it was time to go to the Mixed Martial Arts class for his physical training.

Tank was back again, ready to continue his lesson, while Daniel, Alice's partner, was sitting on a blanket at the edge of the training ground, waiting for the others to arrive.

"Come on over and get comfortable. Good to see you again, Rita." He greeted them, then waved at Karl and gestured for him to join the class as usual.
