From the first moments that she’d been introduced to the ring and gotten to actually hit the gyms for training, she had always done so with enthusiasm. No matter how difficult the training, or how tough the losses she took in the ring were, Vida put herself fully into everything she did in the ring and in the gym. However, Vida would have been lying if she claimed that there hadn’t been a little extra enthusiasm in her step in recent months.
Part of that was a renewed interest in her in-ring career in LAW, certainly. But just as big was her new relationship, having hit it off with Daichi and sparked off what felt, to her at least, like a whirlwind relationship. Daichi seemed like a good fit for her in and out of the ring. Young, eager and optimistic, but also a fellow wrestler who would understand her devotion to developing her skills in the ring and the sacrifices she would make to follow those dreams. Tonight, she was excited to meet up with Daichi and bring him further into her world by introducing him to her mentor and inspiration, Santa Tigresa!
Having met up with Daichi in the locker rooms, Vida was in her gym clothes and feeling ready for training. She grinned as Daichi gave her a kiss on the cheek, blushing red as he did so.
“Oh, she’s just protective because she knows how hard this business is,” Vida said. “As wrestlers, we’re supposed to beat on each other in the ring. But there’s a lot of wrestlers that will take advantage of you in the ring, and they carry that attitude outside of it, too. My whole career, Santa Tigresa has been looking out for me, I can’t imagine where I would be without her!”
Vida wrapped her gym towel around her neck. She couldn’t figure out why, but it seemed like Daichi wasn’t too sure about this. Was he nervous? On television shows she watched, boys were always nervous about meeting a girl’s mother. Was this like that? Vida was embarrassed about her lack of knowledge, here, but what could she do?
“Come on,” Vida said, taking Diachi by the hand and leading him out of the locker room. “Let’s just get the first part out of the way, and by the time we’re training, you’ll see that this will all be fine!” Vida smiled, reassuringly, and started to lead Daichi toward the training room.
