Taiman! I Can't Let Nozomi Beat Me!

[Characters]

Nozomi:
A battle-hardened office lady. Since her student days, she has had a wide range of martial arts experience including kickboxing and jiu-jitsu.
She is a true sadist who takes pleasure in tormenting "amateur fighters" she doesn't like, regardless of gender.
Even in fights between women, she usually settles things with violence rather than words, and there are countless people who have ended up in the hospital because of her.

Yoshihito:
Older than Nozomi, but a mid-career hire who hasn’t been with the company long and hasn’t achieved much yet.
Because of this, Nozomi calls him "senpai" and uses polite language, but clearly treats him with blatant disrespect on a daily basis.
He’s been bottling up frustration over Nozomi’s unchanging attitude.

He does boxercise for his health but has no real combat experience.

[Story Background]

A year has passed since Yoshihito changed jobs and joined the new company.
Though he carries out his tasks without issue, the female employees at the company all give him the cold shoulder.
He has a tendency to look down on women -- an attitude that was one of the reasons he was driven out of his previous job.

Seeing this, Nozomi judged him as a “useless man” and deliberately badmouthed him within earshot, treating him with open disrespect.
Yoshihito, wanting to keep things peaceful in his new workplace, occasionally tried to warn Nozomi, but she never showed any sign of changing. His frustration with her grew with each passing day.

One day, Yoshihito found out that Nozomi had extensive martial arts experience, including kickboxing and jiu-jitsu, since her student years.
He figured that her background and confidence were the reasons she continued to behave so brazenly, and thought to himself:
"If I crush that confidence, she’ll be forced to change her attitude. A woman doing martial arts? Don’t make me laugh..."
He ended up saying it out loud without thinking.

Knowing Nozomi’s competitive strong-willed nature, he was sure she wouldn’t turn down a challenge.
Confident she would accept, Yoshihito invited her to a rental room equipped with a fighting ring under the pretense of a conversation.

Nozomi accepted his invitation as if she fully understood his intentions.

Yoshihito realized Nozomi intended to settle things there and flashed a confident, sinister grin, but...
