The skills training and weapons display division of the competition was gonna be the death of Halley, she was sure of that. Her uncle had given her a Nunchaku, which she was supposed to learn how to use for the tournament. She had almost struck herself in the face with it at least several times every time she used it
"I hate this stupid thing" When she watched videos of people using it and they looked so cool, so effortless, so easy, then there she was, trying not to kill herself with it
"You good?" Eli walked towards her with a joking smile, he had been watching her grumble to herself
"No" she huffed "This Nunchaku thing is the worst thing that has happened to me" she waved the thing around "I suck"
"You can't be that bad" he shook his head
"I've been close to losing an eye at least 20 times since I started training. Just today" She deadpanned "I'm horrible"
"I don't believe that" he shook his head "Show me" he sat in front of her excitedly without giving her an option
"You have way too much faith in me" Halley sighed "Careful, it might slip and instead of me loosing and eye it could be you" it had happened, she had accidentally broken a mirror in her house
"I'll take the risk"

"I'm gonna split myself in half" Eli shook his head watching as Halley held the board higher. After he watched her train she decided that it was time for him to train to
"Come on" she looked at him incredulously "I can kick that high, there's no way that you can't" she encouraged "Go ahead, try it" He looked at the board deep in thought before kicking it and effectively breaking it
"I did it!" he raised his arms in the air
"Told you" she extended her hand for him to high five "You think you can break this one?" she grabbed another board and raised it eve higher
"Now your asking too much of me" his eyes widened comically "Calm down"
♢♢♢
"I don't even know if that's a good idea" Halley shook her head
"Come on, Halley. You know as well as I do that if we want to have a chance at the tournament we need both styles" Sam insisted "You said it yourself, you are great at offense, even more than defense and you hadn't even realized because we never focused on it"
"Your dad won't like it"
"It's not him getting his ass kicked every other day" she reasoned "Besides, we always loved a good challenge" she continued pushing "And it's even more fun when we're together" Halley thought about it for a moment before sighing
"Whatever" she rolled her eyes and Sam knew Halley had given in
"Amazing!"
♢♢♢
"This is awfully fitting for Johnny, somehow" Halley said when they looked around
"Nice place you got here, but it could definitely use a woman's touch" Sam looked at the blonde man that looked taken back by both LaRussos being there
"Does Daniel know you're here" He asked
"I told him I should be training in both styles. So, that's what I'm gonna do" Sam said for herself so now Johnny looked at Halley
"I realized I'm good at things I didn't know I could be" she shrugged "I want to be better"

If you don't know what the hell is a Nunchaku, don't worry, I also had no idea what it was until two hours ago when I was doing research for this chapter. This is it⬇️
