The Magical Ring

The Blindfolded Fight

"Johan, you're already here," I said when I entered the training room and saw him going into the running machine. The gym inside the mansion served as my training room since the first day.

"Why would Johan be here?" Jonas asked without looking back at me. I thought he was Johan lately.

"Jonas? I'm sorry! I thought you were Johan," I replied. "He offered to accompany me on my training today," I added.

"I don't care," Jonas coldly said and he turn on the running machine. He set the machine into its fastest movement.

I can't help but silently laugh at Jonas.

"Mi Amor. You're already here," Johan said when he entered the door with my Trainor.

"Good morning Miss," My Lady Trainor greeted.

"Good morning too Master," I replied.

"Today is my last day to train you. You know what, you are the fastest learner and strongest among my students. It's such an honor to reach you," My Trainor said.

"I can't learn fast if you are not a good Trainor," I replied and we chuckled.

"I guess, you two can start the warm up. I'll go with my brother now," Johan said and he walk toward Jonas.

Jonas stop the running machine when Johan came beside him. They talk a little but I can't hear them clearly. Then, they get a boxing gloves and enter the boxing area.

"I am the one who taught that twins too," my Trainor said. Maybe she notice that I'm staring at the twins. "I know their capabilities and weaknesses, even their attitudes. Don't mind them, let's start now," she said again.

"Master, this is my last day under your training now. May I know your name now?" I asked because since the first day, she never let me know her true name.

"Boogs!" She punch me on my face and that's quite strong. We didn't even start the warm up but she already punch me.

"That's quite quick," I said while holding my face. It doesn't hurt but the impact of the force is really strong.

"You must stay cautious and alert as always," She said while walking around me.

"Kyaaah." She kicked me from the back with all her force and I bumped into the wall.

"Hey, that isn't right," I shouted at my trainor while holding my head.

"Sometimes, your enemy is only in front of you or at your back. Sometimes, you are just talking with them carelessly but they are already looking for a chance to stab you," my Trainor said and I get up. I go back in her front.

She never been so quick and aggressive like this last time. But what she said just now is quite necessary in the real life. I know she want me to learn everything before she leaves.

"Here! Cover your eyes with it," Master said while giving an eye cover to me. "If you can beat me in this blind fight, I will tell you my real name before I leave," she said and I excitedly put a cover on my eyes. Master covered her eyes too.

I'm not sure if I can win against her this time because she always played well in this kind of fight.

"Remember what I taught you. Unite your hearing and sixth sense. Hear the sound around you and feel the movements of the wind," she said and she suddenly slap my face.

"Tsss!" Stop playing on me," I said and smash the side where her hands came from lately. Though, I hit nothing but the air.

I heard someone's laugh and I know it's Johan. It made me feel angry and feel like I'm being fooled this way. I concentrated in feeling and hearing everything that moves around me. Yet, I can sense nothing.

"Got you," I said when I caught Master's hand. She's about to punch me that time. Then, I kicked her but she get away from it.

We punch and kick each other but all of my strike didn't hit her. Until I can clearly hear and feel every attack from her. I tried to attack Master but she seems to be very aware of all my moves. Then, I remember the Ring.

"Show me everything beyond the cover of my eyes," I told the Ring using my mind. Then, a light suddenly flash even my eyes was closed. I can clearly see everything now. My master is smiling with a cross hand in front of me. She don't have an eye cover in her eyes now, so this is why I can't hit her. Johan is enjoying and chuckling beside Jonas. Jonas is seriously staring at me.

"It's worked. The Magical Ring is indeed very powerful. All I have to do now is to know it's powers and believe it," I happily said in my mind and smiled.

My Master tried to kick me but I immediately get away from it. She punch me but I also get away from it. She lift her left eyebrow and punch me again and again. I can clearly see now and we are fighting fairly because she don't have a blindfold.

"You're amazing," she said and slowly go behind me. She punch me from my back with all her force but I get away from it and quickly kicked her.

She feel down and I immediately get my blindfold.

"Awesome!" Johan exclaimed and he help Master to get up.

"You're so unfair. You played me while I can see nothing!" I said with my hands on my waist. "Now, you owe me our deal," I added.

"I am Chen Sy," she introduce herself. "From now on, don't call me Master anymore. Call my Chen," She said.

"Senior sister Chen?" I asked with a victorious smile.

"Your senses is great. You even defeated me even you are Blindfolded while I'm not," she said and smiled on me.

Chen is a tall and pretty girl. She looks like a half Chinese and base on her last name, maybe she really is. She don't often talk about herself to anyone, not even her name.

I look around to see Jonas but he is already not there.

"My back bone seems to be broken," Chen said.

"What?" I asked in shock and then she laughed.

"Just kidding. I'm leaving now, see you next time," Chen said and I hugged her.

"Thank you for everything! Take care," I said and let her go.

With in this days that I remember no one from my past, I only know Chen and the siblings. They already get closer in my heart and I'm very happy to know them.

"She is one of the best assassins of my family. Only me, Jonas and Colin know her a lot. She is just 36 but she is also our Trainor when we are just kids," Johan said while we are looking at the girl going out. Then, we sit down in the floor.

"Where is her family?" I asked.

"They died together with my parents," Johan sadly answered.

"I'm sorry. But, can you tell me what happened?" I asked but Johan he keep silent.

"I'm sorry! It's alright if you don't want to tell. It is quite personal too," I said.

"It's alright!" Johan replied. "One time, my parents gathered their strong and trusted agents, assasins and Cult Leaders. They wanted to tackle the report that the El Tigris had comeback again. Unluckily, there's a traitor inside the trusted people of my parents. It's too late to save them because they used a bomb to pulverized everyone inside the house," Johan said.

"Who is the traitor?" I curiously asked.
