Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City.
The first day of December arrived, and with it, the aftermath of the first snowstorm of that Autumn season.
The weather forecasts predicted that from now on, snowfall would become more frequent until the winter arrived in the middle of the month.
The citizens of Bluecorn's Capital City woke up for the new day even though most of them wanted to keep sleeping on that cold morning.
Inside a manor in the perimeters of the Pedrarruna Forest, seven people could be seen having a lovely breakfast.
"So, why are you learning self-defense, Aurora-chan?" June asked with a curious face.
"Hmm, Big Brother said that every woman should know the basics of self-defense. So, when he started teaching me I discovered that I loved it." Aurora replied with a sweet smile.
"Wow! That's very attentive of you, Theo." Sam commented.
"Of course! I strongly recommend it to you to learn if you don't know any self-defense techniques. After all, all of you are beautiful. What if a pervert attack you?" Theo reasoned as he bit his cheese sandwich.
The girls blushed a little when they heard Theo saying that they were pretty.
Theo had no idea the effect that a handsome man like himself had on girls when he complimented them.
He was such a noob in times like these.
"Theo's right. In attacks, these things can save your life." Shizuka said with a calm voice.
She was the least affected by Theo's charm.
After all, she would not get infatuated with her sister's crush.
"You guys are right. But I'm so busy during the day that I don't have time to go learn self-defense." Sam sighed as she shook her head.
"Me too." Sayuri agreed with Sam as she also shook her head.
The two of them were the head of companies, and they had their schedule full at all times of the day.
And at night they were too tired to go workout.
It was at that moment that Aurora's eyes lit up.
She had an idea.
"Would you girls like to work out with us in the morning?" The silver-haired girl asked with an excited voice.
Aurora was excited about the idea of having more people in Theo's martial arts classes.
Even though Theo tried to tone down his skills, Aurora had a hard time when she sparred with him.
She could not win one round!
She missed the time when she beat some guys in the Fight Club of her school.
Maybe if more people joined in, she would be able to enjoy the thrill of sparring more.
Ayia immediately beamed in joy when she heard Aurora's suggestion.
"I'm in!" Ayia almost shouted due to her excitement.
How could she pass the chance to spend more time with her crush while improving her martial arts?
Two amazing things in one move.
She had to take it.
"Me too!" Shizuka exclaimed with an unusual excited face.
The red-eyed lady was so excited because she was on the verge of attaining the middle master level.
She needed a push from an experienced fighter for her to do that.
Because even in the prestigious Yamada Family, a grandmaster fighter was rare.
And they would rarely teach.
Only once a year, the grandmasters of the family would gather the young generation to access their level and guide them.
That's why Shizuka was so excited about receiving daily lessons from a grandmaster.
Sam, June, and Sayuri were a little lost when they saw Ayia and Shizuka agreeing so quickly.
"I don't know if I can wake up so early." Sam said in hesitation.
"If you want, you don't have to wake up so early. Aurora and I wake up so early because we like running for a while before we start the martial arts practice. If you show up here at 6 am, you can learn self-defense without problems." Theo proposed as he placed his coffee cup on the table.
Sam and Sayuri still showed indecisive faces.
Even if they showed only for the martial arts practice, they would still gave to wake up 1 hour earlier than usual.
And June's case was completely different.
Because she didn't work in the mornings, she got used to waking up late.
And it would be difficult to change that habit.
"Please! It's for your safety, Big Sisters!" Aurora pleaded with a sweet voice and puppy eyes.
When Theo saw Aurora using her lethal weapon, he knew that the girls would agree.
How could they resist Aurora's big purple eyes looking at them with tears threatening to fall?
And just like he predicted, when the girls saw Aurora's puppy eyes, they relented.
"That's not fair, Aurora-chan!" Sayuri complained.
"How can we resist when you look at us like that?" June snorted.
Aurora titled her head and looked at them with an innocent face.
"That means you agree, Big sisters?" Aurora asked with a sweet voice.
Sam, June, and Sayuri looked at each other and nodded.
"Yeah, we will come for the practice." Sam declared with a defeated voice, but a small smile could be seen on her lips.
"Yay!" Aurora celebrated and broke her puppy face.
Theo and Ayia broke into laughter when they saw that.
Even Shizuka was smiling.
"It's decided then. You guys can arrive tomorrow onwards at 6 am, and we can start our work out." Theo smiled at the girls.
He liked the idea of teaching these girls his skills.
He did not want anything bad happening with them, so he was more than happy of teaching them.
"Oh, and the gym has a bathroom and changing rooms. So, you can come in your workout clothes, and after the workout, you can take a shower and change into your work clothes." Theo added as he looked at Sam and Sayuri.
He knew that it would be difficult for the two girls to go home and arrive in time for work, so he told them that they could get ready for work in his house.
The two girls heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that.
Their only worry was that, and with what Theo said, they did not have to worry about that anymore.
"Plus, I can make you nutritious breakfast before you leave after the workout." Theo proposed.
"Oh, I can help, Theo!" Ayia exclaimed suddenly.
She loved the idea of cooking breakfast with Theo.
"Now I am more excited about this workout." Sayuri commented with shining eyes.
"Me too!" Sam chimed in.
How could they not be excited?
That was two professional chefs cooking breakfast for them!
They knew how delicious Theo and Ayia's food was, so they even forgot that they had to wake up early.
The breakfast became their beacon of hope.
As they talked about these things, they had almost finished eating breakfast.
"What are you going to do today, Theo?" Ayia asked as she noticed that he had finished eating.
"Hmm, the opening of the animation studio is today. So, I have to go there." Theo replied as he put down the empty coffee cup after drinking the last sip of the drink.
"Oh, that's right!" Ayia exclaimed as she remembered that Theo told her about it yesterday.
"Talking about the studio. Why Ryoko didn't come last night?" Sam asked curiously.
"I invited her. But when she discovered that I would send her at the end of the afternoon of yesterday some drawings related to our first anime, she decided to spend the night working on the drawings." Theo replied with a chuckle when he remembered Ryoko's behavior.
"Oh, I see." Sam finally understood why the blue-haired girl was absent last night.
The 7 of them finished breakfast shortly after.
Each one stood up and moved to say goodbye.
Aurora waved goodbye as she took the elevator down the hill.
And the girls and Theo descended the stairs to the garage.
After saying goodbye to each other, they entered their cars.Â
Three cars descended the hill and got out of the property.
Theo hummed a song as he drove toward his studio.
How would the opening of his studio go?
He was looking forward to it.
