Please Take this Prologue Seriously!!

It was a wasteland, with nothing but castle ruins. It was surrounded by a thick smog and a nauseating stench of death and rot.

A lone boy was fighting a horde of undead skeletons. He was not yet a man, rather far to young to be called an adult. Yet far too old to be called a child.

A teenage youth holding nothing but a rusted blade and a wooden shield. He was nimbly dodging all the attacks that came his way, however there was hesitation on his blade. Much to the dismay of the person watching him.

"Tsk! How long are you gonna keep me waiting boy? This isn't interesting at all." The woman spoke as she sighed while leaning on her palm. She watched the boy struggled with his life with an empty gaze.

"Uhhh... Well it seems I'm a little preoccupied dodging here..." He said as he avoided the strike that would cut off a mans head with a single strike. The woman clicked her tongue once more, "Can you even call this training? It's boooorrrring me to deaath!" She said as she yawned and took a lollipop from her pocket as she ignored the clashing of blades while browsing on her phone.

"This isn't training at all though!? I'm fighting for my life here!" He said yelling at the beautiful yet scantily clad woman. Her black hair with purple highlights was tied up into two horn like shapes on each side. A menacing form for sure but it did not diminish the charisma she was exhuding.

However their conversation proved to be a detriment to the boy as it took all of his concentration to fend off all the attacks. His blade was shattered from the clash. His wooden shield was grabbed and thrown away on the side.

Although without any weapon what so ever the boy managed to avoid the attacks that came at him. His school uniform had torn and grown ragged from the skeletal onslaught. The boy gained some distance from the shambling skeletons.

He clicked his tongue and snapped his fingers. A purple light enveloped his right hand as thin chains slowly dropped down creating a mettalic thud across the stone slabs. He waved his hands multiple times as he ran past the skeletons binding them in place. He then closed the gap between him and the bound skeletons as he picked up one of the blades dropped by them and started hacking away shattering them into pieces.

After the gueling battle he wiped the sweat from his brows and turned towards the woman who was laughing while staring at her phone. "How was it?"

The woman responded quickly, "Boring, uninteresting, and utterly weak." She said whithout even bothering to look at him. The boy however laughed and scratched his cheeks while smiling wryly. "You didn't even look at it." He said while sighing and sitting next to her dead tired.

The woman gave him the side and and smirked, "You didn't even bother to see if the job's done." She said as she slowly stood up while stretching her body. She stared at the pile of bones scattered on the stone floor as they slowly rattled and combined again forming a gigantic skeleton. It's eyes shone a menacing red yet the woman was unfazed. She was laughing maniacally.

She put her hands on her hips as the towering skeleton roared on her face. "Well? How long are you gonna keep me waiting babe?" She said as she beckoned the giant skeleton. It raised its skeletal hands as it balled into a fist slamming it towards her. She however moved slightly to the right making the skeleton miss completely. She raised on of her knee up to her waist as she flipped and kicked the skeleton square in the jaw bone sending it flying away.

Her feet were then covered with a subtle purple colored aura. She sprung towards the air and softly muttered,

<Sakkai Fuhazan.>

Twisting herself midair with a reverse back flip and sending multiple kicks towards the skeleton staggering it a few steps backwards. Within those kicks were sharp blades that could even cut metal let alone a being made of nothing but bones. Finally the landed on the ground and did a downwards kick for her finisher creating a large wind blade that cut the skeleton in half extinguishing the light from its eyes.

She scoffed and turned her back towards her opponent, "Loser!" She said as she confidently walked away towards where the boy was resting. The boy was smiling wryly and scratching his head. "Aren't you supposed to be smart boy? How come you can't even know that?" The boy laughed and said, "Not on battles. I'm a tactitian not a warrior."

The woman scoffed, "Well ya need to learn how to fight!" She said while grinning madly.

The entire area surrounding them was enveloped in light and a loud robotic voice sounded inside the area.

<<Simulation Over!>>

It turned into an empty grid like room. with nothing but the boy and the woman staring at each other. "That said boy... Yer training ain't over until I say so! Stand up! Your next opponent is me!" She said as she pointed at herself while grinning madly.

She grabbed the helpless boy on the collar and threw him a distance from her. The boy rolled on the ground and steadied himself. His ragged uniform back to its original prim appearance. He sighed, "Can't we just talk? Like what are your hobbies?" He said as he raised both his hands. The woman laughed, "It's fighting!" She said as she dashed towards him sending multiple lethal kicks towards his direction.

He managed to dodge a few, however just as he was getting used to her tempo she sped up her strikes making him dodge frantically.

"Stop dodging and fight back!" She said as she increased the intensity of her attacks once more. He could only helplessly dodge until his stamina gets drained, but that proved to be a fatal mistake. His opponent was not of the common variety but a prodigy and a master of her martial art.

She flipped on the air and preformed a dive kick.

<Shiku-Sen>

She landed a clean hit on his stomach and her free leg kicked him on the chin sending him airborne and she spun on the air and delivered a punwheel kick. The boy was sent flying barely conscious.
