Chapter 15~ Training

We enter the monastery. I never knew how isolated this place was. I place my suitcase down. There was a training course in the center of the yard. 'This wasn't here before, was it?'  Wu walks through it, ignoring its existence. I follow confused on what he has planned. We walk by the living, but I couldn't help to notice that Samurai X was working on something. I quickly enter the room, letting Wu to go on without me. 

I place my things next to the door. Samurai X was at a dart board. Behind it, I could see a big red button.

"What's that?" I ask. She jumps and turns around. 'Is it just me or she looks like her skin is made out metal?'

"Uh, a new upgrade to the monastery." Her voice sounded robotic. I tilt my head as It took me awhile to hit me 

…..

"YOU'RE A ROBOT!!!" I said surprised. She jumps again at my sudden loudness.

"Almost, I'm a nindroid. If you hadn't noticed Zane's one too." She quietly state. My went wide as I face palmed.

"I was so out of it." She chuckles. I look back in memories, trying to remember how Zane looked like.
'I was being saved from that giant cloud and….'
A memory flashes of the white ninja having the similar shine and color to his skin just as Samurai X.
'Then…'
Memory flashes quickly on the many times Zane had his hood down.

"... I'm such an airhead." I drop my hands yo my side. She had an amused look on her face.

"You really did not notice?" Her voice sounded she was on the verge of laughter.

"No, but in my defence I was out like a light for most of the time." 

"Reasonable, I'm Pixal it's nice to properly meet you." 

"Oh I'm y/n, it's nice to meet you too."

"I hope I'm not intruding on anything." Wu said as he stays next to the door. 

"No, you're fine. Y/n here was just introducing herself." Pixal said. Wu just closes his eyes as if he was in deep thought. 

"How nice, here I thought y/n ran away again." Wu said, stroking his long white beard. "If you may excuse us, Pixal, but I still need to show y/n where her room is." 

I turn to her, "It was good meeting you." I said. Pixal nods her head. 

"It was good meeting you too." With that she return on working as I left the room. 

I follow Wu down the hall. The feeling of deja vu getting stronger the more we walk. He stops at a door that was really close to his meditation room. He opens the door and walks in.

I was speechless, it was the same room from my dream. Yeah, there are slight changes but not bigs ones. I went to the spot on the bed, where I was at in my dream. The room felt warmer compared to the cold windy air outside.

"I assume that you're remembering?" He said. 

"I think so, I had a dream about being in this room. I had a terrible fever and some strange man was comforting me." I said keeping my eyes on the spot.

"Ah yes, that time..." He shakes his head, bringing him back to the now. "Now, I left some clothes for on your dresser, get changed and meet me outside to start on your training." Wu slams the door when he left.

"..."

"What?"

Even though questions ran through my head, I got out of my clothes. The clothing Wu gave were a gray samue. The lose clothing fit nicely on my body.

I walk out to the front. The training course now gone, leaving nothing. Wu stands in the center with two wooden staffs. He throws me one of them and by reflexes I caught it... okay so I may of nearly dropped it, but at least I caught it. Wu just shakes his head in disappointment.

"You lack balance." He began to walk around me as if to study me.

"Just like the ninjas, you've gone soft and lazy." Wu then came running to me about to strike. I pull up my staff to block it. Our staffs collides. Wu pushes me back, my shoes squeaking to try to stop myself from moving.

"You may have forgotten the past, but your body haven't. It still remember all that training you did back then." He pushes me back, making me to lose my balance. Wu comes in again and striking in fast speeds. I struggle to keep up as we steadily walk backwards. In no time, my back was up against the wall. Wu strikes one final time hitting my staff out of my hands and placing the end of his staff under my chin.
'I lost.'

He pulls away and gave his staff.
I look at his weirdly as he goes to the statue of a dragon.

"That wasn't too bad. You lasted longer than I expected." His last part of his sentence fill me up with pride. "By one second."
'And now it's gone.'

"Now for the rest of the day, you will just be training." Wu press a button and walks away into the monastery.

A training course came up from the ground. 'This is going to be a long day.'

I went up to the dummy and practice on my strikes. "Hey, this isn't so bad." I hear the door sliding open. I turned to see Wu came back with a teapot and a cup. Pixal was there as she sat next to him at the steps of the monastery.

"Those strikes are very sloppy. Have more control over the staff, but at the same time be loose." Wu yelled. I sigh redoing my strikes to match with the descriptions Wu just gave me. Strike after strike, it was slowly getting better along with my blocking. I begin to to get tired. 'Maybe I should work on something else.' I look at the others sets. It all spins in a fast speed, with many things blocking the path to truly complete it. 'What do I got to lose? I have like one or two more hours until the sun sets. Why not?' 

The course was proven to be a lot harder than it looked. I was being flung across the courtyard and when I do make progress something hits me. Strangely, the more I fail, the more I want to get back on and try again. I felt motivated to complete this if it's the last thing I did. As crazy as it look, I did see an improvement in agility and I was more focus or alert. Sadly, my time was up.

"That's enough for the day. Go wash up for dinner, anyways you got to go to school tomorrow." Wu said shutting off the course. I jumped off and nod.

"Wait, aren't the others here?" I asks finally noticing they were missing for the entire day.

"The ninjas went on a trip to prove to me they haven't gone soft." He grumbles. Wu looked upset and trouble by the others. He press the button that was in the statue again, making the course disappear into the ground.

I look over at Pixal. "The ninjas disappointed Master Wu by their laid back attitude. I don't know when they be coming back, but I assume it will be later on the week." Pixal looked she was troubled too. 'Was this a reoccurring thing with them?'

I bit back anymore comments about the ninjas whereabouts.
"Well I guess it's time for me to freshen up a bit." I said walking into the monastery.
