Prologue

"Hyah! Huah! Yaahh!"

That was just the sound of me training. My name is Meta and I am training with my master, Guy. I am currently working towards being the 40th grandmaster of Bushinryu. I was working on my punches and kicks on a punching bag. Guy stood there and watched as I was continuing to train. After a few minutes of hitting the punching bag, he stopped me.

"You can rest now," he said, handing me a towel.

"Oh, thanks, Guy," I said as I was panting. I grabbed the towel and wiped the sweat off my face. "I was getting exhausted!"

"Well, you've been training pretty hard today. There is something I need to tell you,"

"What is it?"

"There's a fighting tournament coming up. I would like you to join the tournament,"

"Really?"

"Yes. This will be a test of your Bushinryu skills. I want to see how far you've progressed. If you win, I will treat you to something special,"

"Will I finally be the 40th grandmaster?"

"You'll have to wait and see. Now, go get ready for the tournament and I will check back with you later, Meta,"

"Okay!"

I drove home and got myself ready for the tournament. It was time I showed Guy how far I've gone with my training. I won't let him down!
