Two days before the tournament...
Dean Cole Michaelson meets up with Asia and the other masters of the school, to discuss the arrangement of the tournament. Sitting at a roundtable inside of his office, the Dean and the Masters look over the fighters listed before them.

"Carly Williams; born in Venice Beach California, lethal Tae Kwon Do expert. Her power and speed are unlike anything I have ever witnessed, she is a fire starter. She may be arrogant, but she can back it up." Master Drake tells the Dean.

"I see that she has improved her skills quite nicely, she is a prime contender to win it all. If only she can put that pride of her's in check." Michaelson says.

"Well you know what they say, 'pride goeth before a fall'." Asia says.

"Next we have Laura Christmas, Panther Style extraordinaire. Her movements are so fluid and smooth, I can't even keep track of her mobility. Her father trained her well." White Tiger acknowledges.

"So have you, Tiger, this woman is the epitome of speed and precision, she may be the fastest female martial artist to walk the face of the planet!" Master Tigerblade says.

"A lot like our next entrant, Vanessa Urban. Trained in the ancient forms of Ninjitsu, mixing Judo, Kyokushin, and Jujitsu together with it to make it her own. Precision is a ninja's main weapon and she is on the same level of speed as Laura." says Master Shu.

"With her speed, if she were to fight Laura, it will be a tough challenge for both." White Tiger points out.

"Johnny Orion, proficient in Hapkido and Aikido. This man is the definition of a true underdog going against the grain. No matter how many times you knock him down, he will always find a way to keep fighting." Master Drake says.

"Well, Master Tigerblade pushed him to levels I have never imagined to be possible, Johnny has made a great stride in improving his skills as a fighter, I have become very impressed by this young man." Asia says.

"Well, he and Draca have been sparring with each other non-stop. Speaking of Draca, her experience as a former MMA champion can come into play in this tournament." Master Tigerblade states.

"Not only is she a former Mixed Martial Arts champion, but Aaron is also in that department, being skilled in Escrima, Jeet Kune Do and surprisingly, Val Tudo." Dean Michaelson says.

"That kind of unpredictability is a rarity, which will serve Aaron well in this tournament. But the subject of unpredictability also falls on our Dark Horse in this tournament." Asia looks at Master Shu, knowing who he is referring to.

"You're talking about Danyelle Faust?" she asks him.

"Of course I am, this woman's strength is immense. I have never seen a Jade Dragon Child with this much power! She is clearly more powerful than you Asia." said Master Shu while Asia looks at Danyelle's photo.

"That is hard to deny, Danyelle is a true Prodigy of Martial Arts, spending her whole life surrounded by it. Something tells me that she is hiding more power than we realize." Dean Michaelson says.

"She is the child of the Jade Dragon, she was not that by accident. Her ability and fighting prowess is actually terrifying. It's safe to say that she scares me." Master Shu says.

"But these two, Danny Gurrerro and Zoella Raiden. I can't get a read on these two." Asia says.

"Only thing we know about them is that they are both Ninjitsu experts. We'll see what they bring to the table." Master Drake says.
