Training?

Now they face each other, on the opposite side of the table. It was a scene that beholds the tension of some war going on and they both were seated to discuss the situation. He said smirking in arrogance, "I have, find some resources in you. You are very hardcore but still, you lack skills and techniques.". She did not say anything and fixed her curious gazes on him as wanting him to elaborate more. He took a pause then said softly, "I wanted you to train yourself till next month in different types of fighting skills and etiquettes." Her curiosity got quenched listening to his words. "so, he is finally taking me as his bodyguard". She finally relaxed and smiled. She wanted to thank him for accepting her proposal and wanted to show her determination to give her a chance but he stopped her.

He said smiling, " and you will have to go through an exam after one month, then everything will be told to you accordingly." He looked at her super curious expression, " don't ask me any questions. You will get to know everything eventually.".

She closed her bewildered mouth. He again began to speak, "J will teach you, like martial arts, sword fighting, mmm how to use a gun and many more things and Miss Molly will help you to learn some etiquettes.". She said, amazed," gun?". He said, "yes gun, nowadays it's better to keep guns with us, to protect ourselves.". She got his point: a bodyguard should have a gun to protect some big shorts like him.

Then she said firmly, "what if I refuse to do it.". He laughed, "do you have any reasons to deny it. You are in no condition to do that. You know it better, don't you?". She wanted to answer him but she couldn't find any words, actually, he was right. She was in no condition to do that.

J enters the room with heavy luggage and he puts it horizontally on the floor.

She hesitantly said," can I ask you two questions?". He said, sighing, "fine! go ahead but just two questions".

"First I totally understand learning martial arts from J but why do I have to learn etiquette( it's not like bodyguards have to behave, they just have to protect)?".

"mm, you are new to this culture. You don't know how to behave like a girl. You are almost a tomboy. You have to learn how to remain disciplined like a girl, not like some bizarre person. I hope my answer satisfies your curiosity.".

She frowned, then asked him the next question, "What will happen to me when I fail to pass the exam."

He thought for a while before answering her. It seemed like he was quite confident that she would pass the test. "If you don't pass the exam, I will get my refund from the black auction.", he smirked," I can't bear any losses you understand right.". A chill feeling went down her spine, as she remembered her humiliation. It was a feeling she does not want to experience again.

The words came out like bullet short to her. She hated the man in front of her for threatening her; she just wanted to beat the shit out of him. She said, trying hard to hide her anger," fine, I won't ask you questions or anything. I will not oppose you, for anything you say.". Her eyes were desperate while continuing," I will take the training from both Miss Molly and J and I will not complain about anything for a month and take your (lame!) exam, I will try my best to pass it__".

"Enough! Don't beat around the bush.", he said, cutting her in the middle. She said desperately, "Can I ask sir, for a favour, please" (T_T)...
