Bao Lin Zhao circled her instructors for the fifth time that day. She was getting tired of that routine.
One of them tried to advance.
"Still haven't learned, huh?" She thought, before collapsing the floor beneath him. She reclosed the floor around him before he fell too far, and then collected the rubble to the end of her staff. She rushed towards her other instructor, who was rapidly backing away, before a voice echoed around the room.
"Enough! You're still not progressing, Bao. We'll go again..."
"I'm getting tired of this. I keep beating them. What do you want me to do!?" She cried back in frustration.

In the raised viewing box, behind the one-way wall, Chiyo watched with interest. "It's the same routine over and over again." She noted to the official in charge, who nodded. "Precisely." "But your instructors are also doing the same thing over and over." The official nodded again. "We want her to change her tactics. Show us what else she can come up with to tackle the situation." "So tell her..." "She needs to work it out for herself." 'That's ridiculous' Chiyo thought, but she said nothing and turned back to watch the next 'match'.

Bao thought for a moment. She shifted stance to the usual Hung Ga stance, and closed her eyes.
"It's been a while. Let's see how they handle this..."
The two instructors started rushing her the moment she closed her eyes.

Chiyo raised her eyebrows and watched with interest, eager to see what was about to happen. She shot a sideways glance at the official, who was also watching with avid fascination. "That's new..." Chiyo smiled. 'Good girl' she thought.

With her eyes closed, she waited. Ten feet. Five feet. Every footstep gave them away.
Just as one began to swing a punch at her head, she raised an arm, and a wall of rock erupted in front of the instructor. He had no time to pull up, and collided with the wall.
She waited for the other to swing, and blocked his arm with her free arm, before kicking through his front leg's knee, and sweep kicking him in the gut.
She turned to face the other instructor, who had started to steady himself. She waited to see how he would act.

"Enough!" The official called. "Very good, Bao." 'Good thing' Chiyo thought 'She could probably kill them if she wanted to...' "Your instructors are getting worse and worse" she chuckled "too easily beaten these days. They weren't that soft back in my day." "A lot's changed since your day, Chiyoko-san." Chiyo nodded. That was certainly true.

Bao took one final deep breath, dropped her terra sense, and relaxed. She bowed to her instructors, and turned for the arena's exit.
"Ok, when do I get some real instructors?" She asked the first person she ran into. "I was wiping the floor with them all day."

Chiyo smiled at her. She'd headed out to the arena doors the moment she noticed Bao preparing to leave. "I know, I watched most of it. That was an impressive last match." She said, indicating the injured instructor being carried out on a stretcher. "He'll be in the infirmary for a week at least."

"That's what happens when you rush someone using Hung Ga. It's all about having a strong base and decisive strikes..." She said. "...So he's pretty lucky I didn't break anything but his knee..."
Bao held out her hand. "Bao Lin Zhao. Didn't catch your name..."

"I didn't give it" Chiyo smiled, taking Bao's hand and shaking it. "But it's Chiyoko, or Chiyo... Or Chi... I actually don't really care what people call me anymore."
