Hand to hand combat

"It's simple, really. To successfully pass this test, you must defeat me. Three rounds, you know how it works.", replied Ludovic, walking to the center of a small clearing and adopting a fighting stance. Valerie was a little surprised. While she did suspect each outpost would have some twist, she wasn't quite expecting an outright test that she had to pass.

For her first trial, Ludovic had challenged her to a tournament style bout. A round was won by landing an unprotected blow on the opponent or by submission, and the first combatant to win two rounds won the fight.

She followed him until they were both facing each other. He was a familiar opponent, and normally she would consider them fairly evenly matched. He had the strength and experience advantage, while she was faster and more agile. It didn't need to be said, but the situation was made more complicated by the fact that she wasn't exactly wearing normal combat gear - quite the opposite. She was having to constantly adjust her makeshift top and panties, which were only barely hanging on to her body.

"Ready? Although I must say, what's with the outfit?", he asked.

She turned red, taken aback by his question. He didn't wait for her to reply, instead springing forward and almost landing a punch. She barely sidestepped him in time and quickly took a couple steps back, moving herself out of his range.

"Ah, I see you've not forgotten everything. Don't think I'll go easy on you!", he barked.

"Never thought you would.", she replied, lunging forward and launching a couple of strikes of her own, which he blocked.

They exchanged some strikes, and he almost managed to grapple her at one point, but she managed to wrestle out of his grip at the last moment.

"Well done.", he said. "Though, I think you forgot something.", he added.

Valerie eyes turned wide as he held up a pair of torn leaves in his hand. She looked down, and indeed, her boobs were no longer covered. She gasped and reflexively covered her chest with her hands - only to discover his hand in a chopping position, lightly touching her neck.

"I win the first round.", he stated simply. She didn't move, too shocked to react, the combination of embarrassment and surprise freezing her in place.

"Come on, Valerie.", he barked at her. "You're my student, and no student of mine should lose focus in a fight like this."

"B-but it's not fair! You ripped off-", she began to protest, but he silenced her.

"Your opponent saw a weakness and exploited it, like they would in a real fight. If you are to become an agent, you must focus on your objective no matter the situation. If you are this easy to distract, how would you fare on an actual mission?", he demanded.

Valerie had no reply. She nodded and dropped her hands into her fighting stance.

"That's more like it. Besides, why are you shy? You have a fine body in peak physical condition. There's no shame in being au naturel."

She ignored the compliment, instead choosing to attack him with renewed intensity. He was right - at this moment, he was only an obstacle for her to overcome. After dodging one of his strikes, she spotted an opening in his defenses and exploited it, getting close to him and landing a hit on his chest. She stopped right before the impact.

"Round two, to me.", he stated simply before resuming her fighting stance.

"Of course.", he replied, readying himself. The next round was winner takes all.
