Wii Fit Trainer held seminars in the mornings. Her class consisted of me, Incineroar, Little Mac, Captain Falcon, Daisy and Lucario. We would do basic introductions to yoga, demonstrations and lessons, and even aerobics. Ryu and Ken recently became instructors and were teaching us all about martial arts, by far my favorite activity. I was a natural at it, best in the class. Little Mac was a close contender, but I wiped the floor with him plenty of times already.
So when I learned someone new was joining our class I couldn't wait to have a little sparring session with them. "Rookie Initiation", as the others dubbed it. They weren't wrong there. I enjoyed putting my skills to the test, and in a way I was imparting a lesson, too: a little taste of the long road ahead, and my fists couldn't agree more.
Just then the newcomer stepped up to the arena, eager to start, too, and seeing who it was I couldn't help but smirk.
"You sure you want to do this?" I taunted. And what an answer I received, staggering a bit. Sheik held nothing back in that punch, but now it's my turn…
Our sparring session was the longest, most intense one the class had ever witnessed. I was certain victory was mine, until the floor proved me quite wrong. Never underestimate your opponent: lesson learned. But I put my pride aside, admitting skill when I saw it.
Plus, she looked real cute in shorts, so I couldn't be too mad.
