[Sweet Combat]
[Episode 3]
Beat it, losers!
Ming Tian!
Thank you for bravely saving me!
My heart is still racing nonstop!
Song Xiao Mi, you're not dead. Of course your heart is beating!
Cheng Ya Nan, did you have to ruin this perfect moment? Shut your mouth!
Ming Tian.
You're not even able to protect yourself.
You should join a club soon and learn some self-defense.
Thank you for your concern
but I don't believe that violence can solve anything.
Besides, I brought this trouble upon myself.
I'd like this to end here now.
You sure are strange.
If you hate combat sports so much, why are you at Zhengze?
Because I need this scholarship.
I feel so sorry for Ming Tian.
He's finally late!
Hello, this is KFC Delivery. The delivery you ordered is late.
- The restaurant will probably send-- - No, I don't need it!
Yes, we get to eat KFC today!
It smells delicious!
Ming Tian, it's so good!
When can we have it again?
How about I buy KFC for you again the next time you score 100 points?
Okay! We'll get 100 points next time!
Eat more.
You're late.
Isn't the delivery supposed to arrive within 30 minutes of ordering?
I'm sorry.
Where's the WOW bucket I ordered? You don't even have the order this time?
How could you call yourself the greatest food courier?
I got into a bit of an accident on the road. I'm sorry.
Is that so? Don't tell me you're going to deliver it again.
You should know I've made 27 orders
and have been eating KFC for nearly two months
just for this very moment.
What are you doing?
He's my school junior.
You two know each other?
I don't care if he's your junior or your senior.
In any case, I want him to make an online post
acknowledging his first failure.
He's late by... 19 minutes and 26 seconds.
Please wait a little longer. I've already put in a new order for you.
A coworker is already on the way with your order.
I'm sorry.
Wait! I'm not finished yet!
Fine.
Yu, your junior is so rude!
Do you have nothing better to do?
Mom, the training done at school
is completely different from normal fighting!
That girl was so quick that I couldn't keep up!
She struck out her hand
and I was already flat on the floor before I even had time to react.
That sounds nice. You seem quite satisfied with this school.
Not just that. I'm extremely satisfied!
I might be able to last three to five years at Zhengze.
Are you insane?
Most people take four years of college. You want to stay for five years?
What are you thinking? Do you come from a wealthy family?
Are you stinking rich?
Do you have a load of cash?
Where do you have the money?
Mom, the noodles are burning.
My noodles!
- I'm going to feed the dogs. - Shoo!
My noodles have become crust!
Best Fighter!
- Boss, two orders of chow mein. - Coming right up! Have a seat first.
Best Fighter!
Slow down or you'll choke.
Nobody will dare bully you again.
Have an egg.
Ming Lang, what's wrong? Why aren't you eating?
You promised we'll be having Daily Nuts this morning.
I'm sorry, I forgot.
Ming Lang, be good. I'll buy it for you tomorrow.
Tomorrow, tomorrow. It's always tomorrow!
You've already said it a thousand times!
I still won't get it tomorrow!
Ming Lang, Ming Zhu is behaving. Why can't you do the same?
You're a liar! You don't do what you say!
Mom always remembered to buy it for us.
We had Daily Nuts, pork jerky, and mango!
Now we only get eggs every day! I'm not eating!
Ming Lang! Get back here, Ming Lang!
I hope this is enough.
Thank you for bravely saving me!
My heart is still racing nonstop!
You sure are strange.
If you hate combat sports so much, why are you attending Zhengze?
Because I need this scholarship.
I'm curious though. You don't care what others think of you.
Why do you care so much about this freshman's words?
If he gets on your nerves, I'll beat him up for you.
No!
He's nobody. Why do I care so much?
Ming Zhu, Ming Lang! Look what I have!
It's so late. They must be sleeping.
[Ming Tian, I'm sorry. I love you.]
- Morning. - Morning.
Where's Grandpa?
He left for the office.
What happened last night? You were shrieking.
- I had a nightmare. - Nightmare?
Did you beat up the monster in your dream?
What is it? [Manager Zhang]
CEO Fang, I'm sorry. I'm afraid I can't attend today's meeting.
Why?
I'm sick.
Okay, I understand. Get some rest.
I just finished talking to these aunts and uncles about youthful hearts.
Youthful hearts?
Yesterday, Ya Nan was also talking about girlishness.
When did that become so important?
Yu, this is merely a requirement at work for these older folks
so they have no choice.
As for you, it's something you should have at your age
but you've never understood.
I don't need it.
All right, you can keep being the steely queen
a little girl with the appearance of a 20-year-old yet refuses to grow up.
I hope you won't regret it when you're 30.
Hey! I'm about to pass the level!
I'm going to break your little boy's heart.
You're horrible!
Yu, the flowers I ordered for you this morning have been delivered.
Thank you.
Are you going to visit Uncle Ji later?
It seems something is on your mind.
You visit him every time something is troubling you.
Was today the first time you wore a dress to school?
Here's a gift to celebrate.
What's wrong? Are you unhappy?
Uncle Ji, do I look like a freak to you?
Nonsense.
Did the other kids say that?
I'll help you teach them a lesson tomorrow.
No, Uncle Ji! You can't blame them.
I'm the one who was dressed up as a boy in the first place.
You're such a kind little girl.
You don't resent others even when they call you names.
If you're a freak, then we must be space aliens with horns.
Fang Yu, remember this.
Appearances aren't what makes someone a freak.
You have to look here.
Those with evil intentions have a monster in their hearts.
Got that?
Uncle Ji, it's a pity I was also unable to save the only present you gave me.
Do you know, little rabbit?
Now that Uncle Ji is gone, you're the only friend I have left.
Depending on things like this will only make you weaker!
You have to grow up.
Your little brother is still young. He needs your help. Understand?
Uncle Ji.
I'll come visit again.
Mr. Ji, I am Ming Hai's son.
I'm sorry I didn't visit sooner.
[Ji Gong Gang]
[Director's Office]
Thank you, Officer Liu.
You're too kind!
A certificate of merit isn't necessary! We're running out of wall space!
Thank you. Don't mention it.
If Director wants to commend us, why did he call us in?
He could just post it on the bulletin board.
Who said I want to commend you?
We punished the bad people and stood up for what's right.
Isn't that what you always say after every fight outside of school?
If you're all heroes standing up for justice, what are the police for?
Zhengze has already attracted too much attention.
I'll have to punish you this time.
Director, they were only looking out for me.
Just punish me.
I'm the one who caused the trouble.
Ming Tian.
Why would I punish you? Come.
As a new student of Zhengze
not only did you stand your ground against evil
you were even able to hold out until your seniors rescued you.
- You should be rewarded. - Rewarded?
Starting today, I'll arrange for someone to give you personal training
so that you'll quickly become stronger.
As for you three, you'll be punished and sacrifice your time after school
to train Ming Tian!
Thank you, Director! I'll accept this punishment!
Director, why is the reward and punishment the same?
Why can't they be?
Don't you know that different means can achieve the same end?
- But-- - All right!
That's settled. You may go now.
Thank you, Director!
Ming Tian, wait for me!
Ming Tian, wait up!
Let's make the most of our time.
Save for eating, sleeping, and using the toilet
all of your time will be spent in training with me.
Song Xiao Mi, do you think Fang Yu and I are dead or invisible?
Give me your class schedule.
Why? Can't I train Ming Tian?
Give me back my phone!
Director said all three of us are training him!
No, I'm enough!
Excuse me.
Becoming stronger isn't important to me.
I have to get going.
Ming Tian.
It's all your fault! He's mad now.
Ming Tian, wait up!
Brat, you're so stubborn!
Director gave the order. Why won't he train?
He must have a reason for disliking combat sports.
Do new students also have to participate in Zhengze's tournament?
Yes. Why?
Nothing.
[Classroom]
The right method must be used for
the two genders to have a harmonious relationship.
Endless pestering or being overbearing and willful won't work.
Who wants to waste time listening to this?
Cheng Ya Nan.
It seems you have an opinion about gender harmony.
Why don't you share it with everybody?
Professor, in my eyes
I don't see gender, only opponents!
That's why harmony isn't necessary. Only one can remain standing!
Well said!
Ya Nan, fights are only temporary.
A harmonious relationship can last a lifetime.
Professor, Cheng Ya Nan doesn't have that problem
because she doesn't have the heart of a girl.
Song Xiao Mi, who says I don't?
Fang Yu, tell her whether I have the heart of a girl.
You're asking someone who has even less of a heart of a girl?
Isn't that as absurd as asking a bandit to confirm a thief is kindhearted?
Song Xiao Mi!
Song Xiao Mi, listen up. I don't need the heart of a girl.
Quiet down. You two sit down.
Girls, this is precisely the reason why you all need to take this class.
You must study intently the material I'll be teaching next.
Professor, I'm very sorry.
Director, is something the matter.
Yes, I need to see Fang Yu.
Fang Yu, go on.
All right, now let's talk about the importance of attentive listening.
Am I always seen as a freak because I don't have the heart of a girl?
I already grew out my hair. Isn't this enough proof?
Fang Yu, even though this will only be a friendly match
you mustn't lower your guard!
Your opponent is still quite strong!
- I know, Director. - You got this.
Unlike most boxing sports
Muay Thai originated from combat skills used in warfare in ancient times.
Because the ultimate goal was to kill the enemy
nothing is off-limits.
That's an easy concept to understand.
Now let's talk about the importance of attentive listening.
The professor mentioned attentive listening.
What does that mean though?
Headbutting, biting, punches, kicks, elbow strikes, knee strikes
finger jabs, shoulder charges, wrestling
and any technique that can harm your opponent can be used.
It's not only exciting but also versatile.
This is what makes people go crazy for Muay Thai.
This was a splendid exhibition match.
Let's thank this competitor who came from far away.
Look, I can be good at this too.
But did I correctly interpret what the professor said?
[Zhiying University of Creative Arts]
Hey, dude. Are you blind? Watch where you're going!
Sorry.
Watch out from now on. Use your brain, not just your looks.
Let's go.
After taking a look around
the Zhiying Boxing Club is still the best.
Of course. It's on a world-class level. We're lucky we signed up.
How come nobody's here?
Hey, are you in the Boxing Club? How come nobody's here?
Hey! Are you deaf? Where's your captain?
One, two...
Halt!
Captain, we've finished running!
It took you so long to run 10 kilometers. Go run another 10 kilometers.
Yes!
Right face!
Begin running!
One, two...
You... You're the captain, Luo Guan Yan?
Don't worry, I'm nice to new members on their first day.
There's no need to trouble you.
We came to... quit the club.
Yes, yes.
Once you've joined...
whether you get to stay or leave is no longer your decision to make.
Unless... you defeat me.
Babe, save me!
Shut up, rookies. Go out and run laps!
What has you looking so grouchy?
Fang Yu is an absolute bully.
She selected a no-name boy as her opponent in the finals!
She thinks nothing of me!
I won't get to fight her in Zhengze's tournament.
Who says you would only get the chance to fight her in the finals?
[S-Level Only Shower Room]
Fang Yu, I heard you had a spectacular victory in your match
and you were a graceful winner.
The match is over. Why do you still look so solemn?
Use this for a massage.
After I left, the professor...
She didn't say anything. Don't worry.
I meant, what she said in class.
The stuff she said in class?
I guess there's some reason to it.
Other students were listening very intently.
It's quite hilarious.
Did you want to know what she went over?
Why would I want to know?
I don't need to know.
I'm just making small talk.
By the way, why don't you reconsider about tomorrow?
I've already given it plenty of thought before coming to this decision.
All right.
That guy is going to have to start praying tomorrow.
Ming Tian, do you have any family members who will look after you?
Take care!
Ming Tian, have you considered giving back to society?
Thank you for your altruism.
[China Organ Donor Registration]
185 centimeters.
- 60 centimeters. - Is that all right?
Yes.
Wait. What's going on?
Didn't you see the bulletin board?
The bulletin board?
- No way! - Oh my gosh!
Excuse me, excuse me.
Excuse me.
[Zhengze Tournament Preliminary Entries]
[Final Match: Ming Tian versus Fang Yu]
You got this. Go for it!
Do your best!
Ming Tian, if there's anything you need
I'll bring them to your grave!
Do your best!
Why am I a contestant in the final match?
And against Fang Yu!
Because she chose you.
You should feel honored.
Are you all resorting to this just to get me to train?
This is Fang Yu's thoughtfulness.
Otherwise, how could a rookie like you
ever get the chance to fight Fang Yu in the ring?
Ming Tian, you don't have to be so worried.
There's an overwhelming disparity between your and Fang Yu's strength
but with me as your personal trainer
- I believe-- - Thank you.
Dude!
The professor said to observe.
We can't just look at appearances.
That's why we must first learn to respect.
What do you think?
Respect means having empathy.
But to have empathy, you'll need to have feelings there.
Feelings?
Feelings can be there or not be there.
Where?
This is so cryptic. There's no way to understand it!
Fang Yu!
If you really believe you're a queen and want to show off your supreme power
then that's your own business.
Why did you select me as your opponent in the finals?
Why can't I?
When I'm not in class or at work
I have to spend all my time looking after my siblings.
I don't have time for training.
Even if I did, you know I'm nowhere near your level.
Are you doing this to insult me?
Why would you take this as an insult?
As a student of Zhengze, you should have a passion for combat sports.
Then you can protect yourself outside of school. Isn't that true?
I've realized there's no way I can get through to you.
Do you not plan on canceling the match no matter how I explain?
I don't!
Apply for a transfer... if you can!
Don't worry. This time, I'll just drop out!
Drop out? That's such a strong reaction.
Fang Yu, did you say something?
He came to me to have me give up on the idea.
I told him, "Apply for a school transfer if you can."
If he just leaves, I'll be so pissed!
Ming Tian sure is a hard nut to crack.
He hasn't been in Zhengze for long
but has already angered an icy glacier like you
into a fiery volcano that has already erupted several times!
He sure is incredible.
That's where he works. Why don't we go in and talk to him?
Did you call me out just to see Ming Tian?
You want me to apologize? Fat chance.
Your Majesty, I know you.
When we go inside, just stand to the side like a statue.
Leave everything to me.
Let's go. We have to deal with this.
Come on, go!
Hi. Is Ming Tian here?
He quit.
Quit?
Why did he quit?
I heard he ran into some trouble during his last delivery
and didn't make the delivery on time.
He felt very guilty and insisted on resigning.
Thanks.
[Zhengze University]
Zhengze sure lives up to its name.
These girls don't fit the label of tomboys.
It seems I'll have to up my game to be their classmate.
I'm already so popular on my first day.
Xiao Hua, look!
Wow! Isn't that Luo Guan Yan?
That's him!
He once set a 31 second KO record in a high school boxing league tournament!
31 seconds?
Why are all these people standing around?
Didn't anybody inform Fang Yu that we're coming?
There's no rush. We'll follow Zhengze's customs.
There's no way she can refuse our challenge then.
Hurry!
Please notify Fang Yu that
I, He Xiao Feng, have followed Zhengze's rules
and am here to issue a challenge to her.
I didn't see that coming.
Is this a daring move? Why is everybody so shocked?
This is the arena for preliminary matches of Zhengze's tournament
which means this is a place where outsiders can issue challenges.
So are you saying this is just like a boxing ring?
Does that mean I can go up there and issue a challenge too?
Sure. You're welcome to as long as you have insurance and an ambulance ready.
It can't be that extreme.
He Xiao Feng, why haven't you given up yet?
This is none of your business. I'm looking for Fang Yu.
Sorry, Fang Yu didn't come to school today.
Standing here all night won't get you anywhere.
Ming Tian doesn't have a job and he'll soon lose his scholarship.
I have something to do with all this.
Welcome!
Hello, how can I help you?
Which bike here is the best?
You must be an expert. Come with me.
This is the newest bike we have.
It has a single-piece bicycle frame with super lightweight bike tires.
It performs spectacularly well.
[Missed Calls]
I know President and Director want to ask me why I selected him.
But I don't want to explain myself yet.
[Power Off]
Do you not like this one?
That's all right. We have other styles to choose from.
The best value for your money!
No, I'll take this one.
You sure have excellent taste! I'll go get you a new one in the back.
Since Fang Yu isn't here
what about Ming Tian?
I want to test him.
What makes him so special that Fang Yu would choose him?
Since Fang Yu has chosen him, his energy should be saved for Queen.
And I, as his personal trainer...
And I!
On Ming Tian's behalf...
we decline your challenge!
[Director's Office]
Come in.
Director, I want to apply to withdraw from school.
[Zhengze University Withdrawal Application]
Why?
I already prepared a high-tech bidet, private locker room
and temperature-modulated water heater for you.
What else are you dissatisfied about?
I don't want to take part in the tournament.
I understand.
The tournament is out of your league.
Knowing you'll be beaten to a pulp in front of an audience is quite daunting.
But this is the pride and tradition of Zhengze.
Why don't I speak to the president
to let you wear a ski mask and add mosaics to your image?
