My School Days Were Full Of Enemies!
Chapter 73. Desire

By noon, the rain did not come home. The sky remained dark with a series of thunderous rumbles, which greatly shook the soul. The rain was reluctant to subside, which made Roman forced to train his body in the fitness room owned by the Helsink family.

The fitness room is located across from the hall room. Two very spacious rooms, located on the third floor, with a fourth floor that there are still many other rooms. The Helsink Family Home has five floors, and the top of the floor is used for large activities.

Roman was enthusiastic about training the strength of his leg muscles, ranging from the groin to the back of the heel, by running on a treadmill. "Lucky brother Valerie allowed me, to use this room," her inner self while increasing her running speed.

Valerie had previously advised the boy to train in the fitness room, located on the third floor. He understood very well what Roman's activities were like, in filling his free time.

Valentine was sitting on his couch, waiting for Rika, who had promised to visit him. "Rika is so long!" he murmured in his heart, clasping tightly onto his phone.

(Jedder!!!)

"Yahoooo!!!!" Valentine was surprised when he heard the sound of lightning striking, around an area not far from the house. "Romeaaaan!" he shouted with fear.

"Roman does not exist! It's busy!" continued Valerie, who also sat on the sofa, and opposite the sister. He was busy reading a magazine, sitting relaxed, with one leg folded over the thigh.

Realizing the presence of his brother, Valentine came to him and sat next to him. "Yawk!! T-t-taakuuut!" lirih Valentine slipped her head and hid from behind Valerie's back.

"Let'soo!" Valentine was surprised when he heard the sound of the house bell ringing. His heart was always pounding uncontrollably, as it received a series of sounds, which greatly shocked him.

"You invited Rika?" valerie asked with an astonished face, while turning her face towards Valentine, who was hiding from behind her back.

"Yep—"

(Jedder!!!)

"Yahoooo!!" Valentine was surprised and shouted for the umpteenth time, making Valerie feel disturbed. Valentine's brother suddenly stood up to the television table, which was located in the middle of the corner of the living room sofas.

Valerie grabbed the remote gate located on the TV table. He then pressed a button, which opened the gate by itself, so that Maxwell and Rika could immediately enter the courtyard of the house.

"Duhhhh! The rain really sucks!" murmured Rika, who was preparing to get out of the car, and went out to the terrace of the Helsink family home.

Maxwell stepped on the gas pedal of his car, and took Rika into the garage, which was located next to the house. "Miss, may I speak to Roman?" maxwell's Pinta.

"Could! But remember, don't be rude in front of him!" rika, who then opened the car door, after Maxwell put and close his car next to Valerie's car, which was parked straight in the corner of the garage.

"Well miss." Maxwell got out of the car.

The garage of the Helsink family home has several access doors, which can bring residents in to several rooms connected to the door.

Rika immediately opened the access door, which was connected to the living room, with the dining room wall as the separator. "Valentinesee!!" rika cheers from the corner of the living room is very spacious, and found Valentine was restless, while sitting on the sofa.

"Rikaay! Come here Iaaang!" exclaims Valentine while stretching out both hands, towards Rika.

Rika then walked over to Valentine, and welcomed his embrace warmly. "Valentinee, what's wrong with you?!" rika asked with a look of astonishment, as she looked at her bestie face.

"I'm ta—"

(Jedder!!!)

"Yahoooo!!!" valentine shouted, to Rika's surprise, and cheered with her. They hugged each other's bodies, with restless faces.

"Valentines! It's noisy!" reprimanding Valerie, while covering her ear with one hand, and next to her other ear, was blocked by the magazine in her grasp.

In search of calm, Valerie immediately moved away from the two girls. He walked up to the stairs and rushed to his room. "If it's been with Rika, that kid must have been excited! I won't be able to read casually either!" murmured Valerie, who had opened the door of her room, then entered the room, and again closed the door tightly.

While on the third floor, in a room full of various fitness tools, Roman has changed his training method.

After running for ten kilometers, which is where the speed number is still listed on the treadmill monitor screen, Roman is now busy exercising the strength of his hand muscles, by banging a punching bag hanging in the corner of the room.

"I think the power of my punch still feels very weak" he thought, focusing his attention on the punching bag.

Maxwell who had known the existence of Roman from Valentine immediately moved to the third floor. He was very curious, like what the exercise was being done, by the child of a comrade-in-arms.

After standing right in front of the fitness room door, Maxwell immediately opened the door with complete calm. "Roman!" the jungle from behind the door.

Roman immediately stopped his fists, then stared at Maxwell who was walking towards him. "That guy?!" his mind, while looking with a very sharp gaze.

In order to get revenge on Rika's bodyguard, Roman stepped up and walked toward Maxwell, with both hands tightly clenched in front of his face.

Maxwell was stunned, when he found Roman forming a fighting position, like a professional boxer. "Hahaha .. hit me as much as you can," exclaimed Maxwell, who also formed his fighting position.

Hearing Maxwell's words, Roman gritted his teeth repeatedly. With a sharp grinning face, he immediately released his punch, towards Maxwell's face.

(Gush)

However, Maxwell was able to dodge exactly one second, before the fist of his friend's son, landed hard on his face. "It's still less fast! Repeat again!" maxwell exclaimed, apparently very interested in Roman's efforts, in giving him an attack.

(Gush)

The sound of the wind was heard after Roman threw his punch, unable to hit Maxwell's face, who was agile to avoid his attack.

"It's still less fast! Even his speed was reduced from the previous one!" firmly Maxwell. He tried to heat up Roman, so that the boy would get serious about fighting him. "Come boy! Show me your strength and speed!" exclaimed Maxwell, who also grinned in front of Roman.

Hearing Maxwell's words, Roman became upset, because he felt underestimated by him. He then punched him over and over again very quickly, hoping to hit Maxwell's face.

(Wushh Wushh Wushh Wushh Wushh Wushh ..)

However, none of the hard and fast blows, able to hit the face of the man of his late father's friend. Roman immediately bent his body, and rested on both knees, while continuing to stare intently at Maxwell's face.

"You're still weak, to be able to fight me." Maxwell turned around, and walked towards the door of the room. He intended to leave the tired child, and the breath in his chest. "Continue your training" said Maxwell, who made Roman even more upset, and grinned sharply at the middle-aged man's back.

Unaccepting for being underestimated, Roman ran, and prepared to punch Maxwell in the head, who was about to walk near the door of the fitness room.

"Yahoooo!!" with a face full of hate.

Maxwell had realized what the boy was going to do. He swiftly turned his body around, and dodged as quickly as possible, then aimed his punch at Roman's face.

(Guushh)

Luckily the punch stopped right in front of his face, which made Roman was stunned not a kepalang, when he found Maxwell's fist, had been within two centimeters of his eyes.

(Buck!)

Maxwell immediately touched Roman's forehead. "Son, never attack someone from behind. And never fight, while holding a grudge against someone. That power comes out not out of anger, but when you're calm in protecting yourself, and the people around you," Maxwell said calmly.

Maxwell lowered his fist, from Roman's face, and turned back as he walked towards the door of the room. "That's what your father taught you" said Maxwell once again, which brought Roman to mind his late father.

"Wait a minute!" cheer Roman. He walked over to Maxwell, who had stopped after hearing his cheers.

Maxwell turned back and was surprised when he found Roman sitting half-stabbed in front of him.

"You seem to know very well about my father, and are very good friends with him" Roman said with a jaded breath in his chest. "Please teach me all your fighting skills! I'm mohoon!!!" Those words, completely came out from the bottom of his heart.

Hearing Roman's words and desires, as well as his ambitions in martial arts, made Maxwell smile before him. "Stand," cried Maxwell.

Roman then rose and swiftly stood firmly, in front of Maxwell. Sweat that poured down from head to toe, became a witness to his deepest desire, who wanted Maxwell to train him martial arts.

After finding Roman standing in front of him, Maxwell then held tightly to the boy's shoulders. "alright. But remember, I'm not teaching you to fight, but .. teaching you martial arts" said Maxwell, who was delighted to find Roman so desirous, to obtain martial arts from him.
