As I walked down the hallway, I looked in the weight room and saw a masked girl kicking the punching bag in a powerful way. Her black mask didn’t cover her straight hair and her beautiful Asian eyes. With grace and speed and great finesse she punched the bag. She was very strong. The punching bag looked tender after she round-housed it. Her punches were precise, and her last punch went straight through the bag. “Sonofabitch! I’m going to pay for this thing again!” she complained.
I hid behind the door of the room, and then she shouted, “Is anyone in there? Come out and show yourself!”
I slowly went out and shyly complimented her for her talent. “You’re strong!”
“Hey there, you weren’t supposed to see me! Now that you did, I must silence you!”
“I don’t want to cause trouble, I have to go. Bye!”
As I was about to run away from the psycho, she grabbed me from behind, pinned me, and was about to pull something from her pocket.
“I’m not a challenge for you!” I said desperately. “I even got demoted to the All-Girls’ Team! Please don’t hurt me.”
“The All-Girls’ Team? Well then, I guess that you’ll be training to fight alongside my sister. There is no reason for me to kill her comrade. Welcome to the team! Someday, if you train very hard, you might be able to change the name of that ninja clan. I must leave now. Don’t tell anyone about what you saw. I don’t want to have to pay for this punching bag! Bye!”
She jumped out the window with grace as if she were an antelope leaping over a stack of logs.
With the power and skill that she possessed, I was intrigued to know how she got them and how I could possess powers similar to hers. Someday, I would find her and ask her how she got them. With this in mind, I decided to choose the path that would lead me to learn the arts that she had learned. I would now investigate the practices and the people of the All-Girls’ Team and their ninja clan.
