Standing in the centre of a bright lit room, surrounded by darkness that veiled the group of attackers that quietly schemed thier counters to defeat thier target. She waited, perfectly still and calm. Finally, one launched towards her and swung this red bokkan overhead for the blow counterattack. Swiftly sidestepped out from attack and counteracted with her own, blocking then threw a hook into his cheekbone. Another followed his lead and thier bokkens clashed, holding high above and she front kicked into his chest.

Her kick was hard and strong enough to make the opponent to spring backwards from the force of the kick and landed upon his back. The session continued for atleast one hour, until she was satisfied and drenched in sweat when she finally announced.

"Alright, that is all for the day. Hit the showers, men." Sheathing her bokken and walked away, taking the folded towel as it was carried on a tray. Lightly dried her neck then forehead, a servant brought her phone on a separate tray as she bowed her gaze and knelt before her.

The phone vibrated and she picked it up, answering the call. Only a few seconds, after listening to the news and given instructions. She answered.

"I will be there first thing tomorrow."

Placing the phone down on the tray, the servant left. And the heiress commanded. "Ready my things, immediately."
