Zira smirked down at her prospective student, crossing her arms under her chest while watching as Aoto struggled towards her before falling over. "Hehe, that all you got kiddie? Come on I thought you wanted to be my student, you have to show more guts than that." Zira commanded while waiting to see if the girl would manage to get back up and come towards her again or if this would be it for the blue haired girl.

Aoto would groan in pain and frustration as the veteran laughed at her, as she pathetically attempted to stand up only to fall flat on her face once more.

"Ungh...N-no fair...so...close..." She would groan as she slowly stumbled and fell her way forward like a baby learning how to walk, falling a few paces away from Zira, her hand just a few inches away. Her whole body shook as she tried to stand again, every muscle burning, but she just couldn't stand, and she slowly dragged herself forward until her finger touched Zira's boot

Zira smirked a little sadistically as she watched Aoto struggle and claw her way towards her, clearly barely able to handle it but eventually she would fall just in front of her, one arm coming out to just barely touch her boot which made Zira smile but not from sadism.. from a flash of pride. "Well now." Zira said as she pulled her foot away from Aoto's finger and guided it to be under Aoto's chin before using it to tilt the lioness's head up to look at Zira in the eyes. "Not bad. I think you've earned my attention. Meet me here same time tomorrow. You're training starts then." Zira said softly and with finality before pulling her foot away and turning to walk away, leaving Aoto to recover and clean herself up.

A few weeks pass after Aoto is accepted by Zira, and she would officially begin her training under her. It had been a tiring couple of weeks, but Aoto believed that she was getting better.

Aoto would walk into the gym like any other day, placing her bag in the locker room before getting ready for today's training.

Zira hummed softly as she walked through the locker room, prepared for her training with Aoto today. So far the girl was coming along decently, making improvements and developing at a fair pace in her opinion, but today would be a real trial by fire for her.

In fact speaking of.. "Oi." Zira said as she noticed and approached the blue haired and a sudden smack on her rear before walking off casually.

"Forget stretched today and meet me in the ring right away... I got something planned today." Zira said as she walked, pushing the doors open to the gym and immediately making her way to the ring.

"Kyaa!! O-ok..." She would squeal in surprise as she was spanked, gently rubbing her ass before following Zira into the gym, silently dreading the torture she was probably about to get put through.

Waiting in the ring patiently Zira would look up as Aoto got close to approaching and once also inside she'd speak. "Alright kid you've made some decent progress lately. I today is time for a little... benchmark." Zira said grinning a bit at the end as she looked at the girl. "Ten minutes between you and me. You're job is to not be pinned or submitted within that time frame, understood?" Zira said short and sweet, waiting to see how her student would respond to the sudden challenge.

"Y-yes ma'am"

Aoto had a sudden flashback to the last time she was in the ring with her mentor, a small shiver running down her spine, before she would get herself ready for the short spar and the pain that was to come.

Zira smirked at the affirmative, if tentative response from her student. "Alright then bring it on!" Zira bellowed, sweeping her arm out and using one hand to give Aoto a 'come at me' gesture, inviting her student to make the first move in the spar.

Aoto would give a small nod before charging in towards her mentor, attempting to land a dropkick to her chest to bring her onto the mat. If it worked, she would attempt to lock her mentor in a simple ankle lock.
