You're really asking for trouble.
Sumire grumbled unhappily to herself, while Annie slowly raised her head.
She didn't speak, not even the curve of her lips changed.
Annie merely turned sideways, her right leg retreating half a step, her center of gravity sinking slightly.
Then, she raised her arms, fists loosely clenched near her cheeks, adopting a classic Muay Thai stance.
Classic Stance
"Don't worry, I never show mercy either..."
Annie said coldly.
"Heh, this little girl is quite arrogant. Her stance looks pretty good, though..."
Before the burly man could finish his sentence, the instructor's whistle sounded.
"Begin!"
With the instructor's whistle, the training hall instantly erupted into chaos.
Several pairs of students engaged in combat, the air filled with the dull thuds of colliding bodies and heavy breathing.
Full of philosophical implications.
Some students, relying on their size advantage, tried to body slam their opponents, while others used clumsy boxing footwork to probe each other.
It was quite lively.
The burly man heard the whistle and charged forward with a sinister grin.
He didn't take Annie seriously at all, not even bothering with any defensive moves.
He just swung his massive palm, like grabbing a chick, towards Annie's shoulder.
Just as that large hand was about to touch the hem of Annie's uniform.
Annie moved.
She didn't retreat; instead, her upper body swayed, dodging the burly man's grapple by a hair's breadth.
Immediately after, in the instant they passed each other, Annie's eyes suddenly sharpened.
Her seemingly slender right leg whipped through the air like a shadow, accompanied by a low whooshing sound.
Precise, vicious, and mercilessly striking the side of the burly man's left knee, his support leg!
Low Sweep Kick!
"Crack—!!"
A crisp sound of bone echoed through the noisy training hall, even overpowering the surrounding fighting.
Just as the other students wondered what the noise was—
The burly man's originally thick and straight left leg was now bent inward at a grotesque obtuse angle.
"Ah ah ah ah—!!!"
The burly man, who had been grinning lewdly a second ago, instantly had his features twisted into a mess.
His massive body lost balance, toppling sideways like a collapsing mountain of flesh.
"Bang!!!"
A dull thud.
The 200-plus-pound burly man was kicked down onto the special rubber floor by the 1.53-meter tall girl.
The ground even seemed to tremble slightly.
His pig-like screams instantly drowned out all the noise in the entire venue.
"Ah ah ah ah—my leg! My leg is broken!!!"
The students stopped their movements, and all eyes turned in shock to the center of the arena.
There, the burly man who had just been grinning and making lewd remarks was now curled up on the ground.
His hands wanted to touch but dared not touch his already twisted and deformed lower leg; that section of shin bone hung limply to the side, connected only by flesh and skin, and one could even vaguely see the terrifying shape of bone fragments pushing up against the skin.
His face was pale from pain, snot and tears smeared all over it, his earlier arrogance long gone.
[villainess value +36]
Standing beside him, the blonde girl, only 1.53 meters tall, was slowly trying to put her hands back into her pockets... but after trying for a long time, she couldn't. Finally, she realized that the S.H.I.E.L.D. training uniform simply had no pockets.
"…"
Annie then somewhat awkwardly let her hands fall to her sides.
The entire venue was silent.
