I smiled at her when she told me her answer. I had an inkling about why she had failed at boxing before, and that rule I made about her having to follow every single one of my instructions stemmed from that feeling I had.
Soon, we came to the spot where we must part ways, so I bid her farewell with a wave.
"Remember, our real training starts tomorrow," I reminded her.
She smiled hesitantly and then walked off. Just as she disappeared from sight, the person who had been trailing us since we exited the school made her presence known. I was honestly surprised that Ivy hadn't noticed her, considering how poor she was at tailing us.
"Did you really have to wait outside my school all day?" I asked Yuki, who emerged from behind a light post and walked towards me with her arms folded. "You know, at some point, this will be considered stalking."
"I'm not as well-off as you," she snapped, clearly irritated for some reason. "I can't just go wherever I please without facing consequences."
