Fatigue of True Love

Chapter 4

I step into the training room,the air conditioners are on and the whole atmosphere is cool with white lights all around me.The room is very big,and it almost makes me feel its condensed.I watch as many officers either practice shots with guns or do combat fist to fist.I find my way to the changing room and slip on a black sleeveless vest and black pants for training that I was provided with.I quickly make a ponytail and look at myself in the mirror before me.I notice the curves that I have,clearly visible in what I'm wearing.

I leave the changing room and go out,finding Jones in a black sweatshirt and the pants I'm wearing.We step into the ring with our feet bare.
"Okay,first we're going to take it slow, I want to see how well you can fight and how much flexibility you can show or control.Ready?," he asks.
"Okay," I nod.
Jones starts with aiming a punch at my face.I dodge and roll to the side.
"Come on," he says
I get up and quickly aim a punch at his stomach,he cooly blocks it and shoves me backward.I fall on my back and look up at him.

He motions me to get up and fight.I get up kicking at his waist but he gleefully dodges it and elbows me at the side.It hurts and I wince.I recover quickly and he comes in with a short blow at my face,with me dodging it barely.
"You have quick reflexes,you need to find weaknesses," he says.
I move to the side,with a high kick that I aim at his groin successfully,one of the tricks Dad used to teach me.He groans and smiles looking at me.
"Keep doing that and you might win,let's see what you've got."
I smile.
With one swift motion out of nowhere,he grabs my arm and twists it, making me turn abruptly with pain and lean against him.I can feel his breath at my neck and it makes me feel dizzy.I try loosening his grip on me,jump up and kick him.

He staggers and gasps looking at me.
"Not bad."
I move towards him one more time with a kick aiming at his stomach but he grabs my leg and pushes me backward,making me fall with a thud.The breath knocks out of me as I try to breathe.
"Come on,you can't back out until the other opponent is knocked out," he says.
I get up a bit weak and elbow him,he blocks it and grabs me by my waist,pushing me to the side.My whole body shoots with pain.I push myself up but he again grabs me by my wrist, kicking me at the side as I topple to the ground with him standing on top of me.
I look up at him breathless and feel pain shoot up towards my neck.I groan and put up my hands in defeat.
"Tomorrow... We'll do this...again.."
He helps me to sit up and hands me a bottle of water.I open it abruptly and drink it.
He laughs and I look at him while drinking it.
"Not bad for starters but you'll have to do much better and faster than that."
I nod looking down.I'll prove myself tomorrow.
