[Episode 9]

- Is this the place? - Look at how awesome it is.

The same guy?

That's our training grounds.

- President Yuan. - Did you see that guy in green?

- Did you see that guy in green? - Yeah.

He's not allowed on the training grounds without my permission.

Got it?

Got it, President Yuan. Don't worry.

We learn all kinds of things here.

These are bodyguards.

The training grounds are up ahead.

Let's go in.

Hello, our training is conducted with absolute secrecy. Non-students aren't allowed to enter the training grounds.

I already told the security guard at the entrance.

He said it's fine.

That's his negligence.

It's just fitness training today.

It doesn't matter if he watches us.

Sorry, but that's not allowed.

Why is a bodyguard academy so rigid?

I've been to many other academies far better than this one.

- Not a single one of them- - Hey, it's all right.

I'll speak with President Yuan. Let's go.

Come on.

You're doing this on purpose.

What are you talking about?

What happened to his ear?

N-Nothing much.

My friend wants to watch my training.

Since the rules forbid his attendance, I'll get going.

- Stop right there. - Crap.

Are you shirking responsibility after biting me?

Who the heck bit you?

A puppy did.

Fine.

What do you want?

An apology or medicine? Cut to the chase.

Either you let me bite you back

or you go on a date with my sister.

What if I refuse both options?

In that case, your friend can scoot off elsewhere.

Xuan Dayu just returned to the country, and I need to work.

Our time together is already limited.

Fine, bite me.

Are you that repulsed by the thought of meeting my sister?

Are you going to bite me or not?

You refused to bite me.

I knew you wouldn't dare to bite me.

Wait.

Your combat uniform is torn. Wear this instead.

Look at how terrified you are.

- Okay. - Nice.

Come here and give it a shot.

Higher. Nice.

Good! Sweet!

Grab it. Slow down. Look down at your feet and shield your face.

Okay, turn back.

Okay, turn.

Nice.

All right, five-minute break!

Pick that up.

How was it?

During your missions,

you can't let your protectee leave your defense range.

You must be ever-ready to be a shield for them.

Our training today

focuses on shielding your protectee behind you at top speed.

- Start! - One!

Two!

One!

Why can't I get a good look?

He's bent on getting in the way, isn't he?

Two!

Go! Go!

Go! Go! Go!

Focus!

Step forward!

Go! Go! Go!

Faster!

Go again!

Go! Go!

Focus!

- What are you doing? - Hey! What are you doing?!

- What're you doing? - Dayu!

What are you doing?!

- Dayu! - What do you want?

- Is that even training?! Get over here! - Out!

- Don't you dare hurt him! - What are you doing?

Hurt him again and see what happens!

Out!

- Forget it. - Fine.

Just you wait.

- Are you insane? - Who are you calling insane?

Are you just going to let him kick you?

This is training! Training!

Do you think I'm blind? Training doesn't involve kicking!

Enough! Stop!

That's enough! Stop it!

- Calm down. - Listen up!

Smashing the equipment is nothing!

If you piss me off, I'll shut down your bodyguard company!

Enough!

Calm down! Calm down!

Let's go.

Over here! Here!

Nice shot!

Thanks.

Look at the mess you made.

It's just a kick. Must you be so extreme? Everyone's been hit once or twice.

He can hit anyone else but you.

I don't care what the reason is.

Do you still remember this?

When we were younger, I'd wallop your bullies.

It's the same now that we're older. I'd wallop your bullies.

I don't give a damn about their reasons.

I'm a much better fighter than you are. I don't need your protection.

But you're fairer than me.

Why does my complexion matter?

Why doesn't it matter?

A fair person triggers sadistic tendencies in others.

It's especially true of that old man.

He gazes at you strangely.

Which guy?

That chief instructor. Yuan... whatever.

He's only 30.

He isn't much older than us.

He built his company from scratch and just started making a name for himself.

HIs life must've been tough after striving for years.

You ruined his many years of hard work with your tantrum.

What I did wasn't even enough.

I should've razed the place to the ground.

Come on. One more match.

Last week, our company was the victim of severe vandalism.

Hence, the agenda of our meeting today is to discuss prevention measures regarding such problems.

We've been holding lessons for five years, but a scumbag like him is a first.

I think the best solution is to refund his fees.

We can't handle such a trainee.

President Yuan, what are your thoughts?

He finally wandered into my den. How can I chase him away?

Even if he burns this place down, I must keep him trapped in the ruins.

If he commits another violation,

I'll beat him into shape.

His life will be even more terrible.

President Yuan, won't the problem worsen?

Are you an idiot?

Don't you know who he is? He's President Yuan's brother-in-law.

He wouldn't dare be harsh.

Don't you get President Yuan's intentions?

This is what he's saying. We can't meddle with this person.

That's impossible.

President Yuan has always been strict and impartial.

He won't give anyone privileges!

President Yuan should've deducted more of his bonus.

How much were the damages?

I'll compensate you.

Hey. I'm talking to you.

How much did it cost?

Give me a hand.

I told you to come over and help.

How useless.

You didn't do much, but you're drenched in sweat.

That stinks of metal.

How many days have you been losing sleep?

Lose sleep? No way.

He just broke a few things.

I have the money to pay for the damages.

Someone was still awake at 1 a.m. last night, tossing and turning in bed.

Since you came over, why didn't you make a sound?

Your friend ruined my company's equipment.

Why should I talk to you?

My friend ruined your company's equipment.

Why did you bother to visit me?

Stop dawdling.

How much were the damages? I'll pay for it.

I didn't spend a cent. I fixed everything.

I'll pay for the repair materials.

I don't need your money.

I'll let you attend training for free.

From now on, I'll be your instructor.

I don't need you to train me.

Why not?

I won't gobble you up.

There's no particular reason. I just refuse!

Back then, some drunkard bit me and refused to let go.

Why are you so averse now?

You...

Look at you. Pretty impressive.

Of course. Don't you know who I am?

I came here to master your skills and uncover your weakness.

Once I grasp all these, you won't be able to stalk me.

Why are you staring at me?

Who was that kid who smashed this place?

He's my childhood friend.

He left when we were in high school.

We haven't met for years, and he just came back.

He's really riled up for a friend who just returned. You only got hit once, but he was murderous.

What do you mean by that?

It's nothing.

Chief Instructor! Xia Yao slacked off for 20 minutes during fitness training.

Okay, got it.

Chief Instructor! Xia Yao left without permission to pick up a call and failed to finish his task in time.

Got it.
