After the drama that went down at the club, I decided that Mei and I had had enough fun for the night and decided that we should go back to my house. When we arrived, my parents were already in bed, so I decided that it was time to let Mei in on a little secret of mine. I mean if she is going to be my best friend, and possibly a lover in the future then she needs to know some of my secrets after all right? Anyway, bringing Mei with me to the back of the house, I stopped at the back door before turning around and looking at Mei. She appeared confused that we were at the back door of the house and not heading up to my bedroom. Grabbing Mei by both of her hands, I looked her in the eyes before beginning to explain. "Listen Mei from this point forward, everything that you are about to see and hear must remain an absolute secret from everyone that you know. Do you understand? What I am about to introduce you to is the secret side of me that no one but my parents know about. Now. Follow me" Opening the back door, we stepped into the large enclosed space that was my training area and I lead Mei over to a bench, which turned out to be a good thing because she collapsed onto it. Looking up at in me in shock, Mei said, "Raven?! Are you a ninja?!" Laughing so hard that tears poured from both of my eyes, I corrected Mei and told her that I was a martial artist with a lot of special skills. Demonstrating for her on the training areas, Mei's eyes grew larger and larger with each of the training areas before she nearly fainted. Catching her, I looked at her worriedly as her face seemed so pale. However, she spoke and said that she was fine just a little shocked is all. Nodding my head in understanding, I gently laid her down on the bench before sitting on my bean bag chair and beginning to cultivate.
After watching me cultivate for over 10 minutes, Mei couldn't take it anymore and she asked me, "Raven? Can you teach me how to do these things? I mean a girl has got to learn to protect herself right? And you look like a total real life ninja right now, I am not going to lie. Please take me as your disciple!" Shocked at Mei's request, a very serious look came across my face before I smiled and said, "Very well. However there are conditions for you being my disciple. For one, you are not allowed to divulge my secrets to anyone in the outside world. Number two, you are to work on training your physical body every day until exhaustion with each of these training areas. Once you reach the point where you don't get tired from doing all of the exercises in a row, then we can move on to your final training. That is all. Now let us begin!" And so the hellish training for my most beautiful and adorable best friend and future wife Mei began!
A week has passed and Mei is doing quite well for a beginner. She has managed to get down a few of the exercises before becoming exhausted. It is only a matter of time before I teach her martial arts for her final training, and one day if she proves to be true to me, I will pass on my cultivation technique to her. Until then, the both us will work on our training and strive for perfection!
