While changing his clothes, he couldn't help but notice Judith next to him and especially her being topless.
'Holy.' While he expected them to be big, they were even bigger than he thought without her top, and not to mention those inverted nipples.
But he quickly moved his gaze away from her boobs as he didn't want to alarm her, and noticed Annie looking at him while shaking her head.
"Focus on changing your clothes." She once again reminded him while looking at him with a disapproving gaze after catching him doing that.
'Ugh!' While wanting to refute, he decided not to as he quickly changed his clothes while Judith looked at both of them with curious looks.
"…Now, move it!" After both of them changed their clothes, she instructed them to quickly go towards the athletics class.
"You're not coming with us?" Bradley asked curiously as they started to exit the locker room while Annie kept looking around the room.
"I have a job to do unlike you, Bradley Watson, so move your asses from here." She made a gesture of shooing him away while walking towards the other students in the locker room.
"Well whatever!" With everything done, he started walking towards the athletics ground with Judith next to him who was silent as always.
"Hey, Brad…" Suddenly he heard Judith calling for him and, looking beside him, he could see Judith looking at him with an intense gaze.
"Yeah?" He stopped in his steps to give her the time to speak, while looking around carefully so Annie won't spot them.
"When did you two become so close?" She asked while looking down to the ground while rubbing her hands anxiously.
"Who two? You mean Annie?" He asked curiously as the only person Judith had seen him with was Annie, but he couldn't understand where she saw them being close.
"Hmm…" She lightly nodded her head, while occasionally peeking at his face while waiting for his response.
"I dunno where you got that idea from, but she absolutely detests me." He could already imagine her notepad filled with his name today, so her being close to him was basically impossible.
"If you say so…" She nodded while not fully accepting his answer but didn't let him know. "Also…"
"Yeah?" Looking at her, he could see her hands on her breast which deformed due to pressure while she struggled to let her words out.
"I… Nothing…" But before she could let those words out, she gave up and shook her head with a small amount of sadness.
"Don't worry Judith, just take your time and tell me whenever you feel it's right." He lightly patted her to reassure her, as he knew from his memories that pressuring her would not do any good.
"Hmm…" She lightly nodded with a smile, while feeling slightly happy about deciding to come to school today.
"Anyway, we should be moving before she catches us." Realizing Judith was a little calmer, he lightly reminded her of that as they rushed towards the athletics class.
"Look who decided to finally show up!" Just as they reached the athletics ground, they were caught by Coach Bridget.
With a wince, he looked at Bridget while lightly signaling Judith to go on ahead as he knew she was most likely referring to him earlier.
"Hi, Coach!" After Judith went on ahead while looking at him with troubled looks, he lightly greeted the pink-haired woman while looking at her hairstyle.
'That's one hairstyle for sure.' He thought while looking at Judith who was getting farther away from them but kept looking back at him with a troubled look, to which he lightly signaled with his hands that he is alright.
"I know I've missed a few training sessions, but I assure—" After Judith was fully out of his sight, he then looked back at Bridget and was about to explain but was quickly cut off by her.
"Shut up, you maggot!" She yelled loudly while pacing around him with a furious expression.
As she put her finger on his chest, she continued, "You are one month behind everyone, Bradley, and I'm not going to let you drag the whole team down with your lack of commitment!"
Before he could even justify why he was absent for a month, she kept on going. "If you can't make the qualifying scores, you can forget about your credits and graduating this year."
"Don't worry, ma'am! I'm sure that I will easily achieve qualifiers." Knowing what kind of person Bridget was, he knew going with the reason for his absence would only make her mood worse, so he decided to go the other way around.
"… Oh, really?" Bridget looked at him with a smirk while assessing his body which lacked muscle mass.
"Why don't you show us your 'elite athletic skills' by doing twenty push-ups right now, you pathetic little twerp!?" She commanded him with a smirk while waiting for him to fail the test.
"Sure." Bradley lightly nodded and got on the ground while hardly feeling any pressure, as in his past life, twenty push-ups were light work.
"Oh, confident, aren't we?" While expecting him to fail, she smiled at his confidence which at least gave her some hope that he can improve while she lightly whistled to signal the start.
"The fuck!" He could not help but groan loudly after the first push-up while feeling surprised by how weak he really was.
"One." Bridget crouched down next to him to count his push-ups.
'Why am I so weak!?' Even though he knew he had 1 point in strength, he expected to at least achieve more than ten push-ups easily.
"Two." With Bridget counting, just as he was about to go for the third push-up, he plopped down on the ground with a defeated look.
"What? Is this all you have?" She looked down at Bradley gasping for breath. "You can't even do three miserable push-ups!?"
With his confidence earlier, she at least expected him to complete ten push-ups, but failing at the third was a first for her.
"I… I'm… sorry… ma'am…" While gasping for breath, he apologized with an embarrassed look as even he didn't expect it to be this bad.
"You better get your ass to the local gym now, and start lifting, if you want to pass this class…" She advised while rubbing her forehead, while continuing her words while grinding her teeth, "…Or, just stick to Miss Bissette's class, where hard work and good grades don't matter!"
With that, she walked away from him, while he laid on the ground while feeling annoyed from his lack of physical prowess.
'Well, got to hit the gym quick like she said.' But he didn't let this get to him, and started planning to increase his strength stat at the gym later.
