After a good three hours of flying he landed. The girl let go and stretched a bit. They were standing in a canyon. It was quite wide and made of red stone.

"Your training will begin here. But first, you need decent training clothes."

Facing the girl, he raised his right arm, fingers spread, his hand palm nearly touching her head. He concentrated and the girl was surrounded by a white/bleu glow. When the glow disappeared, the girl was wearing a Gi, like he did. Only this Gi was black. The sash around her waist and the wristbands were white. The girl took a step back in shock, overbalanced and fell down.

"Wow. This is cool. How did you do that?"

She slowly stood up.

"And what are these clothes made of? They are bloody heavy you know."

"Those are weighted training clothes. You will wear them as long as your training lasts."

"And what will be my training Sensei?"

"The first part of your training will be to survive here. On your own."

"And how long will this part of my training last Sensei?"

"As long as I think is necessary."

"Yes Sensei." The girl said with a bow.

He had expected the girl to complain. But she accepted the first part of the training without comment. She sure was a stubborn one. And the idea of being alone in the wilds for a long period of time didn't bother her at all. This could get interesting.

"Do not leave this area. If you do, I will find you and punish you."

"Yes Sensei." The girl bowed again.

He flew of without another word. She was on her own now. Then the girl cried out.

"Wait! You forgot to."

Speeding up, he couldn't hear the last part that she yelled.
