>>21442960>[No amount of theory study could have prepared Ayashi on what to expect when that bell rang.]The rush of adrenaline sent "the mysterious" Ayashi -- as this was apparently the nickname the fans had decided on -- into overdrive, letting her immediately fight at 100%... but this number would slowly drop throughout until her frankly almost embarrassing defeat. Her signal backstage had not gone unnoticed and a brief turning off of the lights had almost given Ayashi the advantage victory, and she even managed to connect with A Kick To The Face™, not that it had done her any good.
Carol Izanagi felt unstoppable. If this was the calibre of even the debuting WWA Dojo talents, Ayashi was going to have her work cut out for her. Apparently even her 'special training' was not quite enough to get her to the required level.
Not that wrestling was the goal. Information is the goal. And with this in mind, Ayashi waits for Carol to finish her celebration and then offers a few words.
"Well done, Miss Izanagi. Miss Romero must be proud to have a student like you under her *wing*. Once we are backstage, I'd love to talk to you a bit more about her. 'Pick your brain', as it were."
Ayashi offers a handshake. Her mouth is smiling, but whatever emotion is on display behind her glasses is hidden, and very... mysterious.
