"No!" Everyone shook their heads as they started making plans for their free afternoon.
"Ms. Henderson, I'm free this afternoon," Jamie said quietly as she approached Yolanda. "Could you teach me that punching technique you used when you beat me up earlier?"
Despite being Xavier's daughter, Jamie had always been inconsistent with her martial arts training. That was why her skills were weaker than even the intermediate apprentices at the Eternal Clan.
When she saw how skilled Yolanda was at such a young age, she couldn't help but feel envious.
"That technique is challenging, and you'll need solid fundamentals to do it. It's not something you can master in just a few days. Are you sure you want to learn it?" Yolanda cautioned.
"Yes, I really do!" Jamie wanted to improve her skills to impress Xavier, especially since no one at the Eternal Clan pushed her hard enough during training.
"I work at Willow Creek Clinic anyway, so you can teach me whenever you have time."
"If you're serious about learning, I can teach you. But I'm not like Viktor and the others, so I won't go easy on you if you slack off."
"That's fine by me!" Jamie was quite enthusiastic about this; she wanted to start training in the backyard right after dinner.
Yolanda closed the clinic and headed to the yard with Jamie. While assigning Jamie her first exercise, she pulled out 500 dollars from her wallet and handed it to Elleven. "Do you want tacos for dinner?"
Elleven hesitated instead of reaching for the money.
