[A whole array of 10 different students are all lined up, chatting excitedly among each other.]
Lili: Aha! This will be much fun!
Paul: I'm gonna be the #1 tennis player!
Kazuya: You fools have no chance...
Xiaoyu: Let's just have a good game, yeah?!
[One of the students stands in the line on her own, looking down and deep in thought.]
Asuka: I've been waiting for this moment! I'm so excited! I can prove to them all i'm with the best!
[At that point, the coach addresses them.]
Coach: Alright, new students! It's a sunshine morning, perfect time for the Welcome Workout!
Jin: ...Welcome Workout?
Coach: Right! One-by-one that machine over there [points to a mechanical contraption on one side of the tennis court] will fire balls over to you! When you can deflect every single one, that's when you know you are ready to take on the greatest!
Asuka: This is my chance...
Coach: You there, the tall one! [points to Lili] You're up first! Go go go!
Lili: Ahh, I would be delighted!
Asuka: Heh, what a prissy girl...
Lili: Let's go!
[Lili then advances to the tennis court, opposite side of the machine.]
Lili: Bring it on!
[The contraption sends a tennis ball flying straight out of it's pipe, to which Lili deflects easily. Several more pop out of the machine only to be sent back by Lili's racket.]
Lili: It seems I have gotten quite the hang of this.
[The machine sends a few more, each within a split-second of each other that travel in different directions. Lili hits one, but struggles to sprint fast enough for the other two.]
Lili: Gah!
Coach: Disappointing! Back in line!
[Lili pouts as she is sent to the back of the line.]
Asuka: Surely I can complete this...
Coach: Next!
[The coach points to a Chinese kenpo master, mysterious in his ways. The man known as Feng Wei steps to the court.]
Feng: Hmph.
[The workout starts, and Feng is easily able to deflect every ball that pops out of the machine. A slight rumble trembles the area as he swings his racket.]
Asuka: Something about this guy seems familiar...
[Feng then takes his place to the side, the side belonging to the successful clearers.]
Coach: Wow...excellent work! I feel sorry for whoever next has to top that! And that would be...Miss Asuka Kazama!
Asuka: [gasps] My turn?! Ok ok ok...
[Asuka approaches the court with a mix of nervousness and excitement.]
Asuka: I'm ready!
[The coach gives the signal as the machine begins to spit forth a ball towards Asuka, which she hits finely with her racket.]
Asuka: Sweet!
[Suddenly after that, the machine begins to pump out balls all in different directions, while Asuka runs back and forth, struggling to hit any of the balls. All the students start laughing at her.]
Asuka: What the hell?! Why is this happening to me?!
Coach: Seems that man before cleared it so easy, I figured i'd make em' go much faster! GO GO GO, MOVE IT!
[Asuka sprints back and forth in despair, aimlessly swinging her racket and failing to hit anything as the balls shoot out faster and faster, the laughs grow louder and she is hopelessly tired. Eventually, she becomes increasingly maddened at the students' jeering.]
Lili: At least hit more than one...
[Fed up, Asuka turns her head to Lili and the other students.]
Asuka: Hey! Quit it!
[The students all stop, but then start to wince.]
Julia: Look out!
Asuka: What...?
[Asuka then turns her head back, only to see a breakneck-speed ball rapidly getting bigger towards her face.]
[BAM!]
