Alex was doing marial arts practice in the morning along with KIm. Though she missed the most important age to practice martial arts Alex still insisted that she try. Kim was doing this for four years and though her talent was below average she can deal with common thugs. But the most important reason Alex made her learn was this martial art has the effect of slowing the aging process.
No, not like you read in chinese novels. And it was not that miraculous either. You couldn't make a 60 year-old woman make look like 30 year-old but you can make her look like in her late 40s. Alex's master Lin Hu in his late 70s look like in his early 50s but that was because he practised his whole life.
But Alex improved the martial art and if Kim continued to practise like this in her 60s she may look like in her early 40s. And using modern medicine she can keep her looks.
After all Alex wouldn't want to feel inferior after they become a couple because of their age difference.
.......................................................
Alex attended Harvard Boy's School that day to submit his assignments. The school gave him special permission regarding attendance no small consolation considering that it was a very prestigious school. Alex pulled the strings with the board of directors.
This was one of the few days where school was somewhat chaotic. Today was the football game between Harvard's Wolverines and Redondo Union High School's Sea Hawks.
Wolverines football team was weak compared to Sea Hawks. The wide receivers of varsity team were just above average and one of them got into a car accident and admitted to hospital.
"They are going to tear us apart coach." Ryan, captain of the team, complained to the coach.
Coach didn't say anything as he knew it's not a movie where a few words going to inspire them and give a victory.
"Coach, I know a student we can use."
All the players looked at owner of the voice. It's none other than Keith Richards one of the Alex's school friends. Keith was halfback in the team and James was Tight end position.
"Who?" Coach asked not believing. After all he would have heard about him if he was that good."Is he a freshman ?"
"No, he's a senior." James answered.
"Why the hell then he wasn't in the team." Coach still didn't believe them.

"He's kinda busy coach." Keith this time.
"What's his name?" Coach was curious.
"Alex."
"Alex who?"
"Alex King." James replied.
"Oh...."Coach understood what student was that busy."But how do you that he's any good?"
"He's fast." James explained.
"Very fast." Keith added before can say anything.
"But can he catch the passes?" Ryan questioned as he was the quarterback.
"He has very good eye sight and he practised martial arts. Martial artists are kinda good at that type of things."
"Guys, calm down. You are going ahead of yourself. Alex may not even agree. He's a big star and he had great looks. If he had an accident it's a bad publicity." Coach expressed his doubts.
James and Keith knew that coach was okay with the idea and it's now their job to make Alex play.
..................................................
Alex without a fuss accepted as it was a new experience. As the america's favourite sport Alex knew about football rules and player positions. The coach was satisfied with Alex's receiving the passes. The team found suitable jersey for Alex with great difficulty as Alex was only 5'3'' just average height of a 14 year-old. But they saw that Alex had lean muscular body without any excessive muscles or fat.
The game starts at 3:00 pm and Alex invited Kim to see him play. Kim wouldn't miss it for the world.
Kim arrived at 2:30 pm and she was going to watch the game with faculty.
...................................................
When the both teams entered the field the announcer said the names of each player in the speaker.
"Wolverines #7, captain Ryan Jenkins."
"#9, James Gilbert."
"#14, Keith Richards."
"#7, Alex King."
At the mention of the last name the whole stadium siezed to make a sound and after a moment the audence went crazy mainly girls. As Harvard was a boys school most of the girls were from Redondo Union High School.
Sea Hawks team was not happy with the situation.
"Don't let it worry you. They used Alex to make lose our focus." Captain said.
Other players agreed to that.
"Yeah maybe he's just an average player."
"What's that pretty boy going to do anyway."
..........................................
The player who said that regretted his words at the end of the game. Wolverines crushed Sea Hawks with 33-14 and Alex scored three touchdowns. They couldn't catch him as Alex was fast and agile. And if they tackle him it's like tackling a bull. They couldn't figure out how much strength was in that short frame.
Most depressing thing was that their own supporters were cheering Alex on.
After the game the whole team lifted Alex on their shoulders.
Kim was proud of Alex seeing like that.
The journalists who came to report the game were happy that it was a great news found in an unexpected place.
