Final Part: The End Of Love?

Uyen asked: “Layla, why are you here?!” Lian Terry calmly replied, as if he had prepared an answer for a long time: “For the time being, don't worry about it. First of all, let's do what you want most!” Uyen frowned: “What I want most?” Lian nodded: “Yes! Next to the RG hotel, there is a yard large enough for the two of us to start a match.” Uyen was surprised: “A match?! That's not what I wanted the most! I just want to hang out and practice with you!”

Lian just quietly walked away without saying a word. Uyen knew that her friend had to fight her for a match, so she didn't say anything more. The place that Lian mentioned was really close to the hotel, it only took about two minutes for them to arrive. This place is a football field built for children. The football field is very clean and the grass on the field is soft, unfortunately even if you fall, you will not suffer any damage.

When they entered the field, Uyen asked: “Do you just wear that Sweet Lolita and fight?” Lian smiled: “Yes! Today is a special day! I want to wear the best outfit given to me by the person I love the most.” Uyen also smiled back at Lian: “Oh! You are so sweet, just like this Sweet Lolita!” But immediately, Uyen showed the attitude of a professional fighter: “But even if you are the person I love the most, once I start the fight, I will still use 100% of my strength.”

Lian also shows a serious expression, of course this seriousness is only his opinion, his young and cute face can't be serious right now. Lian spoke in a very small voice, as if it were just for him to hear: “That's what I wanted… for many years now.” After saying that, they both rushed and made fierce attacks. Just like Uyen said before, both of them were using their full strength.

The more she fought, the more she was surprised: “I can't believe you are so strong. Sorry, I've looked down on you so far! If you go to the CSW Championship, chances are our match today will be in the final round.” Lian's face was a little sad: “For me, this is not something to be proud of!”

There are two reasons why Lian feels sad. Firstly, using a guy's strength to compete in martial arts with a girl is obviously a bit unfair to that girl. Although there is no guarantee that women will always lose to men (my match that year was the clearest proof of this), in the common perception of many people, men always have an advantage in terms of strength. As for the second reason, Lian felt that Uyen was not as strong as he expected.

Although the match has been going on for a long time and and both of them are still fighting on the same hand, it should be remembered that Lian is wearing a somewhat cumbersome dress to fight someone who is wearing the correct martial arts uniform. Of course, Lian still used all of his strength, but his outfit reduced his flexibility. Lian admitted one thing, Uyen was clearly much stronger than the student that year, but he expected more than that. That year, he lost to Uyen radically, but only a few years later, he was able to win Uyen.

Lian has made great progress in martial arts but he does not believe in the present, he won Uyen thanks to that progress. In his impression, Uyen is a martial arts genius. If he had improved, surely Uyen would have improved more than him. Before the match started, he thought that, right now, he still can't win her. Something must have happened! Lian believes so. He needed to end this match soon and find out why. Then, he will help Uyen back to the top again. That's what he can do for the one he loves!

This football field is not located in an enclosed area. The match between two beautiful girls has attracted a lot of people around. Among them, there were a lot of spectators from Mighty Stadium who had just left. This year's CSW Championship ceremony did not have the presence of both champions, so it ended quite quickly, the spectator also left earlier than usual. They quickly realize that one of the two girls fighting is Uyen Dawson, the female champion of the CSW Championship.

At this time, they clearly see that Uyen is struggling a lot more than when she competed in the final round. That shows that the pretty girl who is competing with Uyen in the Sweet Lolita dress is even stronger than her opponent in Uyen's final round. But who is she? Such a person without registering for the CSW Championship is a pity! Unbeknownst to them, that girl was also registered for the CSW Championship and was even the six-year champion of the tournament, only, that girl was the male champion.

The match was going on tense, Lian suddenly said: “Combating martial arts with you is very fun. Actually, being with you is the greatest joy of my life. But… maybe it's time to finish, both the game and our happy days…” Having said that, Lian switched his posture to the absolute defensive form of the Golden Dojo. One hand he rolled the edge of the dress below, until it was higher than his knee. At the moment, the length of the dress is quite short. Of course, Lian didn't do this to show off his slender legs, but rather to allow his legs to move freely.

Uyen blushed and said: “There are a lot of people around, why did you roll up the edge of the dress?! I'm only happy if I'm the only one who can see your feet!” But just a minute later, Uyen realized she didn't have time to talk anymore. Since regaining the flexibility of his legs, Lian has increased his speed to make Uyen feel suffocated. Just a moment later, the match was tilted in favor of Lian. Whatever comes will come, Uyen falls before a series of powerful attacks from her best friend and loses the match. The surrounding spectator immediately applauded violently. This match was excellent! Some viewers even commented that this match is better than both CSW Championship finals they just watched a few hours ago.

Uyen lost the match but did not feel angry or sad. She just smiled at Lian: “I lost! You are so strong! You are the second person I can't win, the first one is my brother. Well… if I count the time that damn Lian Terry beat me in a match where I didn't even use 1% of my strength, you'd be the third to win me.” Lian tried to force himself to make a smile. Even if she includes “that damn Terry Lian”, it's still just two people. Lian also felt happy in his heart when he saw Uyen's smile. But, he knew, this joy would only last for a few more minutes… After that, all that remained on Uyen's face was extreme anger.

Lian reached out to help Uyen stand up. Uyen took advantage of that situation, she pulled Lian's hand closer to her and hugged Lian's arm. Two beautiful girls openly flirt with each other in broad daylight, making the people around them blush on their behalf. Lian said: “Let's go back to the hotel room. This is not a good place to talk.” Uyen is still holding Lian's arm, her head rests on Lian's shoulder. Together they returned to the hotel. Uyen said: “Yes, let's go back to the hotel room... The hotel room… Wait, I just remember now! According to the security guard at Mighty Stadium, that room should have belonged to Lian Terry. Why'd you stay there? Do you and he have a relationship?”

While talking, they also returned to Lian's hotel room. After closing the door, Lian seriously asked Uyen: “Before answering your question, can you tell me why you hate Lian Terry so much?” Uyen was dumbfounded and answered: “Hate? No, I don't hate him! I just want to challenge him!” Lian asked: “When you challenge him, you always show a bad attitude towards him.” Uyen lowered her face: “I don't hate Lian Terry. The person I hate is… myself. I have a bad attitude towards him because I'm jealous of him.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Speaking of which, Uyen sat down on the bed and continued her story: “He and I used to have the same starting point in martial arts. I knew Lian Terry when he led a group of boys who bullied girls at school. That year, I actually hated him a bit. As a girl who practiced martial arts from a young age, I always stood up to protect the rights of girls. That was the reason for the first encounter with him. At that time, I believed that I could easily beat him. But while he was hitting me, I realized that he was learning martial arts and had great growth potential so I changed my mind. I accepted to let him beat me so as not to extinguish his hopes of martial arts.

After that day, Lian Terry was suspended from school for a few days, but he still had any problems, refused to change. One day, he and I met for the second time. Unknowingly, he saw me defeating the thugs and realized that I had intentionally lost in the past. In a fit of rage, he came to attack me but this time I didn't give in, because… it hurts! Every time I think about the time he hit me, I still feel an invisible pain pass through my body. Lian Terry's fighting power is very strong, but unfortunately he does not use his strength to protect others but bullies the girls.

After easily defeating him, I left a piece of advice for him. I didn't think my advice to work, but unexpectedly, he really changed after that. He stopped bullying completely and even sometimes I see him stopping other boys from bullying girls. The strange thing is, his personality also changed drastically after that. He suddenly became shy and timid. I still blame myself if it's because of me that he's like that.

That was also the last time I could give him advice. Within a year of my last encounter with Lian Terry, my body had begun to change. I became more feminine, the strength gap between male and female also started to gradually increase. I didn't expect this. Born and raised in a martial arts family, I am completely devoted to martial arts. I never wanted to be a girl because in this subject, women will be weaker than men.

But whatever comes will come, we can't stop the laws of nature. My hair grows faster, my breasts get bigger, and my face changes a lot. I am not allowed to wear male uniform to school anymore. The more I practice martial arts, the less progress I feel. What's more painful than watching the guy who was once “taught” by me grow up, and I myself barely improved! I'm ashamed of my advice back then! How am I qualified to advise him, a well-deserved CSW Championship champion for six years in a row, right?!

Although I know the distance between me and Lian Terry will be further and further, but I am not committed! I still practice day and night hoping to win him, even if only once. When my female body hasn't reached the limit of endurance, I need to challenge him! I don't expect a win, I just need to draw him, to reinforce the belief that women can be powerful martial arts champions too! However, that damn guy doesn't want to fight me! Does he despise me as a girl, no longer qualified to fight him?!”

I also put my head down after hearing Uyen's story. I didn't know she was in such deep pain! And yet, all this time, I still think that student who once defeated me in the past is enjoying the glory of victory somewhere...

Uyen suddenly looked me straight in the eye, her eyes seemed empty: “Why didn't I realize it until now? I always wondered why I was attracted to you when I first saw you. Aside from the fact that you're a cute girl, I've probably seen something familiar on your face. During the fun times with you, I forgot all about this. Your face is similar to Lian Terry. Maybe you are his sister. If so, the reason you are here is understandable. If Lian asked you to ask me, then I already gave you an answer. I don't hate him, I'm just jealous of him. To be more precise, I jealous of all the men in this world! I…”

Uyen didn't finish her sentence, I quickly cut her off with a kiss on the lips. Uyen's body trembled a bit because of my sudden and unannounced action. After a while, I let go of her body. I said slowly: “Sorry, that'll be the last time I do it!” Uyen was confused: “What's wrong...?”

I removed the wig from my head and continued: “Sorry! I didn't want to lie to you… I just didn't have the courage to stop it in time. My name is not Layla. I am Lian Terry, son of the owner of Golden Dojo. Until a few hours ago, I had no idea what happened between us. When you said that you were hurt when I hit you at that time, I was really heartbroken and regretful! That year, I was a fool. You're the one who changed me. You changed me… twice. For the first time, you helped me realize the meaning of martial arts. And the second time, you helped me realize the value of life. Surely you will hate me for lying to you and blatantly beside you day and night. But I will never regret doing it! The time I spent with you was the best moment of my life. I'm sorry and thank you for everything!”

Uyen showed a surprised expression, then she stammered: “You... Lian Terry… You… You really are an obnoxious man! Why am I telling you all this?! Yes, I hate you!” I turned my face away in pain. But immediately, my arm was clenched. Uyen still had tears in her eyes: “But I love Layla Terry! As long as I'm with Layla Terry, everything is acceptable!”

I turned to look at her. Uyen took the wig from my hand and put it back on my head. She wiped her tears and said: “Love is not something that can be given up so easily! What happened in the past no longer matters. I want to live for the present and the future! You are not allowed to go anywhere, after leaving a mark on my heart! You must be responsible for this! But… I still want to play the role of a guy, at least every time we go out, you have to be a girl!” I smiled happily: “As long as I'm with you, I don't mind being a girl all the time.” Then we kissed again. This kiss lasted a long time…

That night, Uyen lay beside me like every day. Except, right now her head is resting on my chest. Uyen pretended to be angry and said: “So the thing I fear the most still happens. I can't win you forever!” I stroked her hair gently: “The one who won over you is Layla Terry. As for Lian Terry… that guy lost to you ten years ago. And he will never be able to beat you again…” We hugged each other and giggled. That night was the best night!

THE END

The fiber optic line in my country is currently having problems. That's one of the reasons that part 9 and final part of this Series is a day later than expected. Another reason is that the final part is twice as long as the others. Either way, I'm glad I finished another Series!

I have a project at work in real-life early next month. So maybe I'll start a new Series a little bit longer. I will be very happy if I can still see you next month! Have a nice day!

Welcome to read my new Series on February 03, 2023.
