Tough Times, Hard Climbs

It had been a few days since Belinda had gotten involved in a special type of Slapping contest with Juri Sanada, who had surprised her there and challenged her to what had been an intense match between the two of them. After it looked as if Belinda had won, nailing her with her fifth and final slap and knocking Juri right out of her chair, the Miyabi ace decided to throw away the contest and instead leap at her, tackling her down and laying into her. The result having been a short catfight in which Juri had managed to lock the blond into a smother and had taken Belinda into dreamland. Leaving her unconciouss...

Despite having defeated Juri in the Miyabi arena, to get some payback over Juri...the Black Widow had managed to get back into the lead in their rather personal and serious feud they had going between the two of them. Belinda couldn't stand Juri...she couldn't accept her condescending attitude nor how she tried to push her every second they saw each other.

Still feeling frustrated after their contest and brawl, Belinda had decided to go to the gym to let off some steam. She had done a bit of a short workout already as she was on the Incline Bench, doing situps and working on her abs for a bit. After a few sets...the blond would finally move out of the incline bench and get up to her feet, bringing a towel up and padding herself off of a bit of sweat as she would take a sip of water.

She was starting to feel a bit better...but she still had a great deal of underlying frustration bubbling under the surface.

Spoiler:

Word had spread out that Belinda and Juri were involved in a scuffle outside of AFW. Whereas unsanctioned fights were not uncommon in AFW, it was certainly strange to have one in an outside event where it was unregulated by AFW. It certainly buzzed social media and pictures and videos of the event with the fight that broke out in the end flooded social media and most people got to know about it.

Misaki Toyoda, the former rival of Juri Sanada back when the two feuded in the Berserk and Miyabi rivalry took special notice of this especially due to the fact that she had an attachment with Belinda. The Ace was going to talk with Belinda about the whole fiasco and maybe clear somethings up. The Ace changed into her red sports bra and briefs, making her way out to the gym.

Spoiler:

She would spot Belinda, who was cooling off after an intense work out it seemed. Misaki would approach the blonde with a smile and wave. "Hai~" she would say approaching Belinda and patting her on the shoulder. "Hmm you seem busy" she giggled trying to lighten the mood up a bit.

Belinda was trying to cool herself down a bit, but as she was doing so she got a pat on her shoulder. Turning her head to look on as she saw Misaki of all people, her eyes widened for a moment. She turned completely a smiled a bit at her old teacher. Nodding her head to Misaki.

" Hello~" She said with a light wave of her own. Hearing Misaki giggle and say she seemed busy the blond would just shrug her shoulders. " You could say that, haha. Just trying to work through some stuff. Been a while since we last saw each other." Belinda spoke out as she would take a drink of water. " How've you been?"

Belinda's eyes trailed up and down along Misaki's frame. The Berserk Ace still looked as fit and beautiful as ever, it was difficult to not look over her former teacher.

It was clear to Misaki that the blonde cutie had some things on her mind, usually Belinda would approach the Ace herself on the first sight of catching her in the gym but today she seemed focus on something, either that or something was clearly bothering her. Misaki was aware of what it could be because the Ace had gone through a phase of that herself when she was dealing with Juri back in the Berserk days.

Nodding back at her former student, Misaki would smile and reply to Belinda's question. "Oh, I've been well. Just doing some stuff here and there but....taking it easy for the most part" she said with a wink and one hand on her hip. Eyeing Belinda up and down she was clearly impressed by whatever training the blonde had been doing.

"My my, you've been busy huh? Working out and keeping yourself fit. Although.....I did see you got into some trouble with Juri Sanada the other day, care to explain?" she said with her eyebrow raised, eager to hear what the blonde had to say about that whole fiasco.

Nodding her head a bit, she did see a bit less of Misaki as of late which was odd she had sort of hoped that changed. She one day would like to clash with Misaki in a few one on one matches after all, not just the tag match which they had faced off in. She would of course catch Misaki's eyes trailing up and down to look over her frame, a light blush appearing on her cheeks as it felt a bit weird to have her former teacher checking her out. Shaking off that feeling she would hear Misaki start to bring up the very that was troubling the blond.

" Ah...so you've heard?" Belinda let out as she would bring her hand up to the back of her head, scratching at it as she looked on at Misaki. " You know...just two personalities clashing I guess? I'll tell you about it if you want but it's a bit of a hassle if I'm honest." Belinda let out as she would look a round for a bit.

Trying to find a way to distract from the whole talk she would quickly look towards the sparring ring. " Hey! How about we have a little sparring match instead?" Belinda let out as she would give Misaki's shoulder a friendly bump of her fist, " Been a while since we tussled." She said putting on a smile that showed sings she might be trying a bit to hard to seem cheerful. Turning around she'd walk towards the ring and roll into it before getting up to her feet and bouncing on her feet a bit.

The scuffle was kept anything but a secret and news broke out really quickly about the fight that broke out between the two AFW stars in a self-regulated slap contest. Being the type of woman who likes to be informed, it wasn't long until Misaki got to know about it either specially given the fact that the Ace of Berserk had a history with both women. After confronting Belinda about it, the blonde didn't seem too wiling to open up about what had happened, despite Misaki's curiosity.

Quite cleverly, the blonde attempted a quick escape route by changing the topic and suggesting that the two spar. It had been quite a while since the two had wrestled and certainly Misaki was very much intrigued by what progress the blonde had been making. The Ace smirked, seeing through her plans of distraction but decided to go along with it but reserving her right to further questioning later too.

"Haha alright then, I'm down to have a spar buuutt....if I win, you need to come clean about what happened, alright?" Misaki said bending forward slightly and wiggling her finger at Belinda with a friendly wink. With that, she would follow the blonde into the sparring ring and moving to her corner. Misaki began to do some light stretching as she started to warm up before the spar. "Right then, ready when you are" Misaki said, adjusting her sports bra before approaching the middle of the ring.

Belinda was a bit iffy about Misaki's little demand, the blond would huff out a bit and shake her head. "Alright alright." She said, raising her arms up a bit before she would roll herself into the squared circle. Getting up to her feet she would watch Misaki get into the sparring ring as well.

On her feet, Belinda would roll her shoulders and get ready for the spar. Watching Misaki do some light stretching and getting herself ready as well. She would see Misaki adjust her sports bra and then say she was ready to go, the young blond would raise her arms up and gesture for a collar and elbow tie up.

If Misaki would agree then the blonde would step in and go in for that collar and elbow tie up against the Berserker Ace.

Not letting it go, it seemed Misaki and her former student had reached a deal despite Belinda slightly being a bit reserved about it. However, at the request of her former mentor and at the chance of having to wrestle her the blonde would accept. Both women would stretch out and warm up in the respective corners of the ring before readying up to wrestle.

Nodding at the request of the blonde, Misaki would take a deep breath and shake her arms loose to get ready for the challenge to come. She knew Belinda was really good at grappling and the Ace had to bring her A game if she wanted to out-wrestle her former student.

Lunging in, Misaki went head on at Belinda and engaged in the lock up with her. One hand going to the back of her neck while the other resting on her shoulder causing their elbows to grind against each other and the two going head to head. Misaki would push in, trying to force Belinda back into her own corner.

Belinda moved forward as Misaki nodded towards her and the two of them were soon locked up! She winced out a bit as they went into that perfect collar and elbow tie up, pushing against one another. Belinda grunted out as her eyes would stare intently into the eyes of Misaki Toyoda's eyes.

She felt Misaki push harder into her, forcing the blonde back a step and then another....she would grit her teeth before she would try and put a stop to that. Looking to take back a step she had just lost...and then one more! Belinda would try and power her way through and try and force the Berserk Ace back towards the ropes.

With the two of them locked horns in the intense grapple battle, Misaki was not going to take this spar any less seriously than she would any of her regular matches especially when she had something to wrestle for and in this case it was to get rid of an itch of curiosity that she had developed in the altercation between Belinda and Juri.

The two busty babes would push into each other, doing their best to out-grapple the other. After taking a strong start, Misaki's progress was halted when Belinda decided to take it up to a higher gear. Grunting in effort, Misaki would feel Belinda start to push back harder and harder to reclaim the lost ground.

"Urgh! Hehe not bad~" the Ace said, giggling despite being pushed back all the way into the ring ropes. Once she was backed up to the ring ropes, Misaki would slowly break away from the grapple and raise her arms up in the air to signal a clear victory in the grapple battle.

"Heh, you always were good at this huh?" she said rolling her arms and shoulders to loosen them up.
