Training with Master Shang Xi and Aysa Cloudsinger

Once an old man assigns Aysa Cloudsinger's students to give me some combat training. I had never fought anyone in my life. Maybe... avoiding fist fights with mad little boys in the streets when I am trying to shop and they challenge whatever about me in public? So the first student asks:

"What do you hope to get out of your training with Aysa Cloudsinger and the Tushui Nuns?" She, the pigtailed Pandaren girl, asks deferentially yet with intensity. Looking me in the face yet not staring or trying to intimidate. She even drops her arms and fighting stance to show she shall not move... until everyone is ready?

"I hope to understand... how to disarm my enemies. Not lethally harm them. Is that... okay?" Baojun asks with trepidation. Playing with her twin tails a bit and rocking from side to side nervously. Her entire body is shivering. How is she going to defeat three combatants, all women of equal or greater skills than her, when she only has her hands and claws to defends herself with? The Tushui Nun nods succinctly and then the training exercise begins.

Master Shang Xi watched from the background holding his staff and lantern. Not like a creepy man just... making sure the students do not get killed accidentally? Even a Pandaren's fists could be deadly if they go too far or give in to their former furbolg tempers.

The student uses Blackout Kick. She spin around on one foot and brings up her other one kicking me in the jaw. I stumble back and lose my balance. Righting myself by ducking slightly and holding out my arms, steadying my balance, I then assume a fighting stance. One hand out ready to strike and one hand close to my body for defense. I move forward carefully stepping lightly, my claws clicking on the stone training grounds, and then: The monk unleashes a devastating Rising Sun Kick.

Literally cartwheeling backwards her heel connects to my belly. Luckily my belly is used to far more dangerous and spicy alcoholic drinks than such a woman's foot, right? What does Baojun do next? She tries to figure out where the nun's weaknesses are: And notices... the girl seems to be favoring her right side more. Maybe if she struck from the left? So Baojun fakes going right, stepping quickly, jogging a bit to keep her opponent on her toes. And then she suddenly goes left and tries to gently... tie up the girl's hands with a ribbon she kept in her sleeves? The girl is shocked yet does not resist. Baojun then unties the ribbon as the exercise ends. Aysa Cloudsinger and Master Shang Xi approach yet say nothing as their students chatter friendly like among each other. They silently nod and Aysa curtsies in respect and approval at all their students' personal growth today and tonight.
