When you're small and cute, there are two kinds of people. Those who see you and protective instincts kick in, and those who just want to pick on you because they can. Sadly for Minami, for some reason, people tended towards the latter. It must take something bigger than an A cup to be considered worth protecting around here. Minami had decided to do what that violent girl suggested, learn self defense. For someone so ready to go on the offensive, that was some sound advice. Minami didn't need to hurt someone, just be good enough to disorient them and knock them down. Being able to win a fight would be a nice bonus, but a stretch goal to be sure. Minami's first choice was something like Kendo, which admittedly wasn't the most portable in a modern setting, but enough training and it could translate well enough. Plus if she could win a fight in kendo she might get some more respect. Sadly, no vacancies. So she went for the second choice, taekwondo. Definitely far more translatable for self defense. Minami went in to try it out. "You think you can learn to fight!" Why did everyone have to be so big? From the moment she stepped in, she got nothing but ridicule. Her size, her ability to fight, her cute demeanor, it was nothing more than a joke to the people in the club. "Go home and go do your hair and leave the fighting to the men." Rude. "I bet you like romantic novels." Unrelated. Yet that's how these guys seemed to think. Rude and unrelated, not even necessarily negative but said as though they were, comments. Minami kept trying to learn but they weren't taking her seriously, so she actually couldn't get anywhere. It didn't take long for her to just decide to give up. She was learning nothing, but taking a lot of abuse for it.
It would have been easy, if she didn't accidentally bump into a rack with some equipment, and had the rack fall on someone's foot. "You clumsy little bitch!" Strictly speaking, she didn't break any rules, but it could be considered "carelessness with the equipment". Combined with it slightly inconveniencing a foot, and them already not liking her, it only ended up enraging them. That's when they challenged her to a fight. "I don't even know how to fight, you wouldn't teach me! That isn't fair, it was an accident!" It didn't matter, they basically blocked off the entrance, and dragged Minami to their little fighting square. No sooner did they let go, then suddenly Minami looked up only to feel a sharp pain to her face. She didn't know what happened, and for a few moments couldn't collect her thoughts. However, it became perfectly clear rather quickly. They punched her in the face. Once the initial impact ended, she took a second to realize what happened, since it was head trauma. She fell flat on her butt when it happened. While weak and sensitive, she usually wasn't one to actually break out into legit crying, but tears began to form in her eyes. Even when she tried to learn how to protect herself, she needed to know how to protect herself to even stand a chance. It was a catch 22. And everyone there was just laughing. Minami pushed herself to her feet and ran out of the room, the fighting back the tears as best she could. They no longer blocked her exit as she ran into the halls of the school. She didn't care where she went, she just didn't want to be there. Then she bumped into someone, but of course it was her who fell on her ass. Horrifically shaken, she of course began panicking a bit. "I'm sorry!" It was clear she was choking back, and failing to do so, tears. She wasn't blubbering or anything, but it was clear she was upset. And her face, she had a bloody nose...and clear signs that very specifically a fist had connected to her face.
