Getting to the bottom of success!

Minney packed a gymbag and headed to the AFW facility. When she joined AFW she started off with a victory. She thought she was much better than what her current string of losses had dictated. It seemed like the girl who was posing as her impostor was only marginally worse than she was. She couldn't take it though! After a long debate, she decided she needed to really get serious!

She couldn't train at home. Really, she didn't even know where to begin. At first she blamed the size and skill of her opponents. But she had seen that the "other" girl had faced bigger girls as well. After changing into a sports bra and a pair of lycra shorts, Minney walked out to the gym. She looked around with wide eyes. All the girls were so BIG! And they seemed to be pretty seroious about what they were doing. She didn't even know where to start!

Maiko Kamiya enters into the AFW sparring room in her shrine maiden outfit. She's not alone as she brings her active wrestlecise dummy with her for sparring purposes. She then spots a little orange-haired girl in the training area.

Maiko wonders should she let help this girl trained to become a better wrestler by practicing beating her wrestlecise dummy. So Kamiya decides to walk over to Tatsuki to introduce herself and the dummy to her. "Hey there, my name Maiko Kamiya." Rain said as she holds her hand out to see if the orange-haired girl wants shake hands.

Minney was thinking about picking out a machine and just going to town on it until she was worn out. But then she saw what looked like a shrine maiden walk through the room with some weird dummy. She raised an eyebrow as the girl seemed to come right to her. When Maika held out her hand, Minney looked at it and blushed. She bowed deeply to the girl. Even though she looked American and, indeed, she was by heritage, she had been born in Japan and had never left the island in her whole life.

"M-Maiko-sama!" Minney said. "I am Minney Navarre. S-Shouldn't you be in a shrine?! What are you doing in a wrestling arena?! HOW did you get here!?" She looked around suddenly. "Does there need to be an exorcism!? Am I possessed!?" She asked nervously. Normally she wasn't so skittish but when Maika came directly worried, she was really worried.

"Hey, slow down there, Minney-Chan. There no need to get all work up." Maiko said as she tried to calm the orange-haired girl down. "No there,I'm not here to hurt you. I'm here to train you with my wrestlecise dummy."

"Wh-Wha!?" Minney said as she heard Maika's reassurances. "Train... me?" She tilted her head in curiosity. "I didn't know Shrine Maidens knew how to wrestle!?" She furrowed her brow. "Ahhh, how did you know that I needed training!?" Minney said with wide eyes, looking at the wrestlecise dummy.

"I just know you needed some sparring lessons. So let me train you some moves. That what you can get a chance to beat much bigger and stronger opponents." Maiko said as she tries to get the orange-haired girl to understand what she is saying to her.

Kamiya then allows her WD to introduce itself to Minney. "Excuse Miss Minney. My name Wrestlecise Dummy 1.0. How can I assist you?" Wrestlecise Dummy said in a very polite manne with a bow of respect.

"Whoa..." Minney responded with her mouth open as she stared at Maika and her misticle powers of clairvoyance. She then grinned and blushed. "Eheh... well.. at the moment I only need to know how to beat ANY opponent. Size is not particularly an issue for me right no, eheh..." She said rubbing the back of her neck.

"Eeeeek!" Minney jumped at Wrestlecise Dummy 1.0's sudden introduction. "R-Robot!?" She said and pointed at it. "You have a robot!?" She said. "Isn't that WAY tougher than a human!?" Maybe Maika just wanted to show off her awesome butt kicking robot. Minney would be an easy victim.

"Don't be afraid, Miss Minney." WD said as it started to sweat like a real human does. "It not harm a fly." Maiko said as she tries to help WD out, explaining itself to the orange-haired girl.

Minney shook her head. "I'm.. I'm not afraid...now..." Minney said, trying to control her stammering. "I just don't think I have ever seen a Wrestlecise Dummy 1.0 before!" "But.. I'm not a fly! I'm a girl. Won;t it bend me up like a pretzel!?"

"Well...You can bend Wrestlecise Dummy 1.0 like a pretzel." Maiko said with a smile. "Hey!" WD said before Kamiya bumps into it with her hip to make it change it's mind. "Yeah, she right. You can make a pretzel of me. If you try, that is."
