Destiny

Chapter 5: First day of Training

In the evening, she arrives where Paul gave her the address, she looks at the facade of the place, it looks like an old shed. She gets out of her car and sees parked cars, they must all be there. She walked to the door, opened it and entered. She looks around, there is a ring, weight machines, punching bags, mirrors, rock music echoing in the room. She sees Mideon and Viscera talking in the ring, the Acolytes doing weight training, Paul writing in his notebook but no Taker. Paul raises his head, smiles and walks over to Lini to greet her. "Ah Lini, I've been waiting for you" said Paul, shaking her hand. "It's big here Paul" she said to Paul, impressed by the place. Paul laughs and gently takes Lini by the shoulder. "Come on, I'll introduce you."

Paul calls for the ministry to be in the ring as Lini walks with him. The ministry doesn't seem to appreciate there is a woman in the ministry, everyone except Paul and Mideon who seem very happy that there is a woman like her here.

"Well guys as you know there will be changes in the group. Lini will join the ministry soon and she will train and improve here" Paul says who is next to Lini, Mideon approaches of her, extending her hand in a friendly way. "Welcome Lini, everything will be fine you'll see" Mideon said smiling at Lini, she smiled back and shook his hand.

"I don't understand what she's doing here..." Bradshaw gasped. "Yeah Paul...a woman in ministry what a rotten idea." Said Farooq blowing not believing that Taker could accept this idea. "After all, it's nice to have a woman to watch, the rookie is very beautiful and sexy to look at, he was right to agree" Viscera said watching her flirt up and down, Lini frowned eyebrows in disgust at what he had just said. " I'm not a piece of meat.." She said showing that she doesn't let herself be talked about as if she were a circus act. "Excuse me, he took you for that, didn't he?" Said Viscera still looking at her perversely. It's true? She wondered.

"What did i heard?!" a deep, menacing voice echoes through the room and a sound like an iron door closing. Everyone looks towards the entrance and sees Taker who has just arrived. He wears black joggers with a gray jersey, Nike sneakers with a black bandana across his forehead, his gym bag slung over his right shoulder. He walked to the ring glaring at Viscera very menacingly as he put his bag down next to the ring and walked in to join everyone.

 Everyone except Viscera took a step back as Taker moved dangerously towards Viscera who had his legs glued to the ground, unable to move in front of Taker. "I'm going to be very clear with you all! I'm also not for the rookie being there. I accepted because I have my reasons but I will never accept anyone saying that I have accepted for our pleasure!" he said, stopping. in front of Viscera, looking at him dangerously then walked from right to left. "She is here to train with us, to improve if things are to be reviewed and not a piece of meat!." He said looking at Viscera again then approaching him. "If I hear you say that kind of thing again, I'm going to disfigure you so much that everyone is going to think you're the son of the elephant man." he said glaring at him menacingly, not liking that kind of language here.. Viscera nodded, very scared of Taker.

When everyone has gone back to their business, he turns to Lini who hasn't said anything yet, her  hands on the strap of her bag twisting in stress what Viscera said but doesn't try to show it to Taker. "So rookie, first of all, I appreciate that you are on time. I warn you right away before I start, I'm going to consider you a guy since you told me you weren't weak but you're gonna hate me, you're gonna shit, you're gonna cry and I don't give a fuck if you can consider me your worst enemy, I don't care I wouldn't be forgiving at all just because you are a woman seen that you want to prove me wrong, I am very hard when it comes to work. Before we start, do you have any questions?" He said bending down to take his bag from Paul. "Please stop calling me Rookie". Said Lini annoyed that he called her like that, Taker took his  notepad from his bag and a pen. "So no you don't have any questions, we can start" he said completely ignoring her comment.

~!~

Taker first asked a few questions about her character, her story, what is her personality. Lini told him that her character was a viking who did dark magic and therefore became very dark and mysterious. Alvara's personality can be very calm but very dangerous when someone provokes her, she intimidates everyone in her path with her gaze, her play of light and smoke. Taker writes without saying anything, without showing any emotion. "Very well, your character does indeed fit in my ministry but a few things should be changed. Your wrestling outfit for example. I think it doesn't go with your character" He said calmly studying her.

"Why? it is my outfit in line with my character." She said annoyed, Taker looks at her frowning feeling that he's not going to get along with her who has a fiery character. "Look...I think you misunderstood the rules here....I decide here. This is my ministry, I'm the boss. And if you want to improve, you should accept the advice and criticism of veterans, girl! you will have a new outfit whether you like it or not! " He said looking at her intimidatingly but Lini still looks at him annoyed showing that she don't be afraid of him. "You don't advise, you impose!" she said without looking down at Taker who is starting to lose patience with her. Everyone around stops doing what they are doing seeing that Taker is already raising his voice to the rookie who is not letting it go.

This is the first time Taker has had this kind of personality. Calm but when something does not please her, she raises her voice and does not let herself be walked on. "You're in my Ministry, I impose what I want on you! If you're not happy you can always leave, I'm not holding you back! My career is already made unlike yours!" Taker shouts. Lini doesn't look down, fists clenched as Taker glares at her, fists clenched equally disappointed not to punch her in the face since she's a woman. "Who do you think you are anyway?!" Lini shouted in turn. Paul walks towards them, having enough experience that Taker can lose control, he decides to gently take Lini's arm but Lini doesn't look down, not wanting to let go. "It's okay, take a break. Calm down and you'll be back in a few minutes." Said Paul forcing Lini to step back, Taker still glares at her when Lini comes out to get some air, Taker turns around goes to a punching bag and punches it with all his might making a huge hole in the bag.

~!~

Never, never EVER a man will impose things on her that she does not agree. She created her character and she likes it as such, it's not a big sexist asshole like him who is going to force her  to change. She is sitting against the wall of the hanger calming down when Mideon comes over to her and sits down next to her. "You shouldn't argue with him Lini." Advise Mideon friendly. "So I should let myself be walked on by a guy who wants to order everything?" Said Lini still annoyed trying not to raise her voice against him. "No, but you know, as long as you go against him, he's going to be hard on you. Trust him and follow his words, he'll respect you and be cool with you." Council his new friend. Lini looks at him, apart from Paul and him, the whole Ministry takes her as a weakling and a nobody, she is delighted that men are not all the same.
