First, some stretching

I didn't know what to expect out of an Aikido Master's lab, but what I saw still surprised. A large dojo interior was expected, but the green mats for the floor was a surprise. The biggest surprise, however, was the large number of wooden... training dolls(?) about the lab. They each had a pair of wooden arms, and were actively punching the air in front of them.

"Pretty awesome, isn't it!?" Shouted Tenko, making me looked back at her. She was standing pretty confidently, her hands on her hips as thrust her chest out. "Now come on! I wanna show you the awesomeness that is Neo-Aikido!"

(Did this girl not have an indoor voice?) Walking slightly closer, I decided to say something less confrontational. "Shouldn't we do some stretches first? You're supposed to do them before physical activity..."

"Right you are!" Tenko proclaimed, as she began to stretch. I followed Tenko's lead at first, leaning forward to touch her toes. Really wishing i stretched more; I couldn't even get my back to horizontal, my toes frustratingly out of reach. Looking at her, it seemed like she bounced her breasts hanging beneath her. Afterwards, she stood up and we pulled our arms across our body - Tenko pushing up her chest by stretching up her arm beneath her chest (Those things are big!).

If there was any doubt the ring was doing things to her stretches, that ended as soon as Tenko turned around. She spread her legs wide and moved into the Jack-O pose, her flower patterned spats on full display. Blushing at the underwear tight against the martial artist's thighs, I looked around, spotting Himiko on a nearby bench. She didn't seem to be finding any of this odd, lying on her side as she idly watched us. Regina was there as well, watching the two of us with anticipation.

"Hey! You all limber yet?!" Tenko said, snapping my focus back to her. The Aikido Master had put herself in that K body pose looking at her, her spats visible and tight against her toned thighs and crotch. Blushing a bit, I turned away from her in embarrassment. "Y-yeah, I think I've stretched enoOOUGHHH-!!!" Suddenly I found myself seeming to fly through the air, before thudding into my back. Taking a moment o orient myself, I looked up and saw Tenko looking down at me.

"Why did you do that without warning!?" I exclaimed, surprising myself with how loud I was - I'd just had the wind knocked out of me. Seemed I'd actually startled Tenko, given she'd flinched a bit at my reaction.

"Nyeh, she does that, Minnie." Himiko said while lying down, using Regina's lap as a pillow. Notably, Tenko didn't seemed jealous of Regina at this sight - probably ring powers or something.

"Y-yeah, I can get a read on people if I perform an Aikido throw on them." Tenko said, suddenly stammering as she pressed two fingers together.

After an awkward pause, I decided to clear the air. "So, what did you get from me?"

"You have some distinct self-confidence issues." Tenko said, recovering quickly from the embarrassment. "You lack courage to admit what you want. You're afraid that you won't be accepted by others if you do." She stated so matter-of-factly, I was taken aback. "You're also afraid of measuring up to those around you, like you aren't good enough to be here." The martial artist continued, giving a run down like a blunt therapist or something.

"But you don't have to worry." Tenko puts a hand on my shoulder, causing me to blush. "The people here will like you, and It's not like there aren't people with odd talents or personalities at this school." She gave me a comforting, innocent smile. She seemed to be radiating confidence, so much so my nerves calmed down. Tenko may be loud, but she was definitely a good person.

A sudden feeling on my crotch prompted me to look down. Tenko's other hand was fondling my crotch. "I could also tell you're too pent up, Minnie. So I'm going to massage away all that stress!"
