We three are naturally curious as to what the bartender knows of Arcadia Ashford.
"All I can say about her… is that she's a martial artist."
I exclaim, "Oh really?"
"Yes, really. When she was recruited, she requested something before her first day at work. And that was for her to have a friendly spar with Vic the bouncer.
"Vic easily agreed, as I could tell from his face that he should not overestimate nor underestimate this shapely lady.
"And at the nearby martial arts dojo, right before her first day at work, they had their friendly duel.
"When I witnessed their duel, she was more… showy. Always shouting whenever she's about to land a hit, always employing technical moves. Vic was more on the practical side, just anticipating her attacks and quickly thinking of solutions to counter them.
"This far lavishness she had… almost handed her her defeat, but by a thin margin, because she also landed some hits on Vic himself.
