Why Am I A Girl?

Chapter 5:Joining A Dojo And Making A New Friend!

After a night of plentiful rest, I woke up and realized that everything from the day before wasn't a dream but was in fact reality. Getting out of bed, I grabbed out one of my new outfits from the bag of clothes and was surprised to see several more outfits laid out on the foot of my bed. It looks like my mom took it upon herself to go shopping for me while I was busy streaming and got me enough clothes to last me for a couple of weeks. This is great news! Sighing in relief, I got up and headed to the bathroom with the shampoo and soap that I found on my bed with the clothes. Heading to the bathroom I got ready, and before long I was back in my room drying off and getting dressed for the day. I have decided that I am going to join a dojo today if possible and master some martial arts. This is going to be so exciting!

Making my way downstairs, I heard my mom bustling about in the kitchen getting breakfast ready. It is now Monday, and my parents both have to go back to work today. Sitting down at the table, I looked over to my mom and nervously cleared my throat. "Mom, see the thing is, today I plan on joining a dojo in order to learn self defense. I realized this is important now that I am a girl, and I am no blind fool. I realize just how beautiful I am now, so I need to be able to protect myself from perverts. Please allow me to do this!" Bowing my head to my mom, I waited nervously for her reply. Feeling a gentle pat on my head, my mom began speaking in a cheerful voice. "Honey, you didn't even need to ask. Your father and I had already considered this and were in fact going to suggest this very thing to you today when we got home. Now that you have decided this for yourself, why don't you just take your car and go find a dojo yourself today? Don't worry your father and I already had the car put in your new name and are currently working on getting you a birth certificate that shows us as your parents. Mom and dad have our connections so don't you go worrying about us now, you hear me?" Smiling at my mom's forcefulness, I nodded my head in acceptance before scarfing down my eggs benedict and pancakes.

The girl looked at me with a serious look on her face and placed her right palm under her chin. Nodding her head like she just saw something that she liked, she gestured for me to follow her as we went inside of the dojo. Upon entering, I saw hundreds of students wearing different colored robes and belts practicing on dummies, running along poles and jumping across a field of poles, and many other epic looking setups. There was even someone climbing a rock climbing wall with a large backpack on their back. This place is totally meant for me! There are so many things for me to master here, that it's not even funny. I could basically become a ninja once I master all of these techniques. Continuing to follow the girl who introduced herself as Kay, I walked in between to giant statues of warriors squaring off at the entrance to a large hall. Sitting at the end of the hall on what looked like a throne of sorts was a woman of all people! The one in charge of this dojo is a young woman in her 30's?! Shocked I followed Kay closer to this woman, and stopped when she stopped about 30 feet away. Getting on her knees, she bowed to the woman and said, "Grandmaster this is a new prospective disciple. Please take a look at them." Backing away, Kay quickly left the room leaving me alone with this young Grandmaster.

I had already long since kneeled when Kay did, and didn't get up from my position even after Kay left. I had my eyes glued to the floor and didn't even look up at the woman as she got up from her throne and walked over to me. Stopping in front of me, she let out a sigh before speaking. "Young lady, this isn't a place for messing around. This dojo doesn't see martial arts a sport but as a way of life. Breathe in the martial law, exhale the martial law. We live to fight and fight to live. There are no short cuts to power in this place, and we don't baby anyone. If you are serious about becoming a student in this dojo, then you must cast off your old life and join us here in this dojo. You will become a disciple and depending on how you do in the entry test will determine will you be placed in my dojo. The period of discipleship is 3 years, and after that you may enter and leave the dojo at your leisure. However, before that your freedom is left at the door. Do you understand and accept?" Looking up at this young Grandmaster, I felt a fire burning in my belly as I said, "I accept Grandmaster! Please allow me today to settle my affairs outside of the dojo, and the I will be here first thing tomorrow morning to start my life in the dojo. Is this acceptable Grandmaster?" Pleased with my answer, the woman who introduced herself as Maya grasped me by shoulder and welcomed me to the dojo.

Laughing in excitement as I made my way to the exit, I hurried to my car and sat down getting out my phone. Calling my mom, I told her the good news and she sounded kind of sad as I explained how I would be stuck inside of the dojo for three years before I could leave. However, as she knew this was part of my grand plan for my future, she accepted and said that she would talk to my father and convince him. Today was productive, I managed to get into the dojo of my dreams after spending most of the day going all over the place. This place is going to turn me into a monster, I just know it. I am very much looking forward to this. I pity the fool that attempts to drag me into a dark alley or fondles me in a night club. You will be crippled quite easily! Any way after a long and exciting day, I at long last have completed one of my goals for my glorious future. Now to go home and get some rest, because tomorrow begins the first day of my legendary training montage!
