The challenge

You are Nicole, a 20 year old martial artist who recently moved to a new area. You have short black hair and an athletic, muscular figure. Back in your hometown you were the one fighter nobody wanted to spar with. Mostly due to your habit of exploiting any advantage you could.

You are currently walking towards the largest local MMA gym in the area. You had recently met a girl named Ria who is a regular at said gym and highly recommended it. However, she did warn you some of the guys tended to be skeptical of women's combat capabilities. Part of you hoped some guy would be stupid enough to say something like that to your face so you could teach him his place.

Walking through the front door, you immediately notice the medium sized octagon in the center of the room meant for sparring. Two men were currently sparring in that octagon, rapidly exchanging kicks and punches. You look on a little impressed by their form and quickness, although you were confident you could take either of them without too much trouble.

You look around for Ria and spot her warming up in the corner of the room. She was one of only a few women you spotted while surveying the room full of martial artists building up a sweat.
