Asuka stood still in the empty room, counting her breaths.
One two three.
"Human Breath Certification Completed - Headquarters Eighth Palace, Warrior Girl Standby Asuka, welcome you."
The three earthen walls moved smoothly to one side, revealing the elevator hidden behind it.
Asuka took a deep breath, touched her left trouser pocket, and stepped into the elevator.
As soon as the elevator door closed, the mechanical electronic sound sounded again.
"Welcome to participate in this 'Martial Girl Trial'. Before explaining this 'Martial Girl Trial', please allow me to wish you a happy birthday on behalf of all the Moon Palace people."
Asuka bit her lip tightly.
"On this special day today, I have a little surprise for you."
The cheerful birthday song "Happy Birthday to You" filled the mouth with the stench of blood.
It was just a broken lip, but Asuka felt pain that was like piercing her brain.
Soon.
She thought.
Right away.
In no time, she would be free.
The hollow electronic sound invaded her eardrums, long and torturous.
But there comes an end.
"This ends the description of the "Martial Girl Trial". I wish you a happy birthday and good luck in your trial."
The elevator doors opened to both sides, revealing a long and narrow corridor wrapped in special silver metal.
Asuka clenched the dagger in her hand and stepped out of the elevator.
Tonight, she will kill her father.
