L.A.W. - League of Anime Wrestling

LAW Gym

Zira sighed softly in boredom as she stretched on the mats near the entrance of the gym's locker room. After her... impromptu training session with a certain butterfly themed wrestler Zira's interest in teaching was piqued and once Huan found out she all but forced Zira into reaching out to the young lioness trainers for a potential recruit. Nothing permanent per se, more so a trial training session. After all Zira couldn't just take anyone under her wing, she had to make sure they impressed her. Sighing as she dropped her arms Zira would look up at the clock. "Come on brat.. better get here soon rather than later." Zira said to herself, even though in truth there were still ten minutes left before the two were supposed to meet, but Zira was always the type to get started early, and she expected similar of those around her, even those she hadn't met yet.

Spoiler

About 5 minutes later, Aoto excitedly enters the gym. Her trainers had informed her that there would be someone, a potential mentor, meeting her in the gym today, and she couldn't wait! It was a rare and precious opportunity for the young lioness and she wasn't planning on wasting it.

She quickly made her way to the locker room, scurrying past Zira as she quickly got changed and ready before stepping back out, now noticing the other woman sitting on the mat, seemingly waiting for something or someone. She tentatively approached her, unsure if she was the one she was meant to train with today.

Aoto

Zira was starting to get seriously bored now, even if there was still another minute before the time she and her prospective student were supposed to meet up. Although she would look up as a blur went by her. "The fuck?" Zira said in surprise blinking for a moment before after a moment, in fact just as the time for them to meet hit a young girl came out, strikingly blue hair and a supple looking form, not to mention she looked as though she was searching for someone which is when it clicked for her. "Oi. Are you Aoito or whatever? The brat I'll be testing today?" Zira asked in a no non sense tone, intentionally getting the girl's name wrong in order to get under her skin and see how she reacted.

Aoto looks nervously at Zira as she calls out to her. "Y-yes! I-i'm Aoto! P-pleasure to meet you Miss Zira!" She gives a small bow, before just standing in front of Zira awkwardly, unsure of what she was supposed to do now.

Getting confirmation that this was indeed the girl that would be her potential student Zira would hum and cross her arms as she looked her up and now. 'Not the best shape but not bad. Fairly cute at least. But that may be more of a detriment. I don't know..' Zira thought to herself before sighing.

"Alright then follow me." Zira said turning and making her way to the practice ring before stopping in front of it and turning around to face her potential student and taking her phone out she would set a five minute timer before facing it out towards Aoto.

"I'm a pretty direct and to the point person brat, so this is how we'll do it. For five minutes I wont do anything in the ring, you do anything and everything you want to me in there as long as its legal in a regular wrestling match." Zira said before her smile turned a bit vicious.

"However... the time will then reset and after that I'll be allowed to start fighting back as much as I want and it'll be your job to survive as much as possible. Make it to the end without tapping or getting pinned and I'll take you on as my student sound fair?" Zira asked with a cocky grin on her face, waiting to see how Aoto would take instructions.

"Y-Yes Ma'am!"

Aoto would reply rather formally to her instructions as she made her way to the ring behind Zira. The instructions were simple enough, but could she pull it off? Compared to her, Zira was stronger, faster, and had a lot more experienced, holding out against her even after 5 minutes of attacking her might still prove difficult!

But Aoto had to do it, or she would lose her chance of getting a mentor! Steeling herself, she followed Zira into the ring, waiting for her signal to begin.

Zira would roll her shoulders a bit in response to Aoto's rather formal response before holding her phone out to show the timer on it. "Jeez loosen up kid." Zira said with a small tsk before placing the phone on top of the corner. "Anyways, you're time starts now. Don't disappoint." Zira said as she pressed start before turning and facing Aoto, waiting to see what she would do first.

Hearing the instruction to start, Aoto would take a deep breath to calm herself, before attempting to tackle Zira and put her in a ankle lock to weaken her ankle, hopefully making it easier for herself later on.

Giving her potential student the ok to go Zira would watch as the girl came at her and tackled her down to the mat. 'Not a great technique, but decent speed and strength.' Zira thought to herself before her leg was lifted up and her heel twisted into an ankle lock. "Ngh..." Wincing a bit but keeping herself from making a sound louder than that she would look up at the blue haired girl with a serious expression. "For your sake I hope this isn't all you've got kid." Zira said, masking any pain she may have been feeling from getting into her voice, but more interested in seeing what else Aoto could do.

Aoto would strain for a few more moments, trying to weaken Zira's ankle, only for Zira to barely react to it. Discouraged and worried, Aoto would release Zira's leg and attempt to put Zira in a crude armbar, attempting to imitate other wrestlers who she had seen do the same move.
