    A collective groan erupts from the students as Vargas whistles and instructs to do 50 laps on a broom around the field. You and Grim eventually take off as Vargas cheer to himself for being such a great motivator.

    "That's the spirit! Never let your muscles go slack! Ha ha ha!"

    Ashton Vargas is quite the... assertive type. Every teacher here has some kind of narcissistic quality but the muscular man takes it to a whole new level. "No one's slick as Vargas, no one's quick as Vargas, and no one's neck's as incredibly thick as Vargas!" The man would bellow haughtily like a caricature of a movie. Not only is he a show-off, he also has his strict regimen which he believes is the only right way to live. He doesn't believe in stupid books, only insisting to rely on muscles. One class from Vargas would leave almost every single student sweating and panting on the ground.

    Most students dread to attend PE classes because of this pushy teacher, including you. Oh, you are a different story though. Vargas pays extra attention to you. He keeps fussing over your health and physique, insisting for you to train more. When he's not nagging, he keeps showing off his muscles and workout routine to you. You barely even know a thing or two about athletics! You keep ignoring him or rejecting his offers, but he wouldn't hear a "can't", "won't" and "no" from you.

    Despite that, he does see potential on every student, especially you. Why? In what way? You don't know, and Vargas probably doesn't know either. What an airhead.

    Because you weren't paying attention, you don't notice Grim having beef with another student in a flight race. An impulsive turn and a shift in the turn causes you and Grim to bump into the student and spiral off your broom. A scream tears from your lungs as you fall fast, the ground growing closer. Until, there's a rapid glimpse of a figure, then you land on something soft yet hard. When you look up, your eyes meet Vargas, who conveniently saved you in his arms while the other student and Grim smack into the ground.

    "Don't worry. I won't let my students get hurt. No matter what happens, I'll save you... WITH THESE MUSCLES!"

    Vargas proceeds to flex his pecs as he holds you, a smug and proud look on his face as if there are sparkles all around him. The urge to facepalm is strong on this one.
