A young girl bowed her head toward the framed photo of her late father. Dressed in a white gi, barefoot, and alone she paid her respects to the man. Then she got up, balled her fist, and bowed her head once more.
“Don’t worry, father. I will accomplish your dreams and bring our family’s martial art to the world stage! There will be no place on Earth that doesn’t know of Shi Karate before I die. I will prove to everyone that our family’s martial art is the strongest!” Shi Junko vowed with her entire being.

First things first, Junko needed some money to hire some people to fix up this place. As a high-school dropout, Junko didn’t have many options to get money. Getting a job would take up time from her life that she could use improving the dojo. Instead of wasting time seeing who would be willing to hire a 15-year-old, Junko decided to see if there was anything interesting happening in her area. Pulling out her phone, Junko searched up martial arts tournaments in my area and found a cool little tournament happening not too far from her city.
It was just two cities away and with the money she’s received from her father’s life insurance, it would be enough to pay for any food on her way there. Junko was about to start preparing until she realized the date of the tournament was in two days! She had 48 hours to get there before it started! With her money inside the sack she carried on her waist, Junko locked up the run-down dojo before dashing down the street. She followed the directions on her phone as she dashed through the streets.
Junko’s journey to the tournament went relatively well until it turned night time. While Junko was confident in her strength and endurance, that didn’t mean she was some superhuman freak who could keep going no matter what. Not yet anyway. She also didn’t want sleep outside if she could avoid it. It bothered her the way some grown men were looking at her wandering the street.
After paying for a room at a nearby hotel, Junko fully relaxed in her bed after showering. After running for most of the day, Junko was ready to drop dead as soon as she laid her head on the pillow. Unfortunately, a combination of a roaring stomach and the sound of women screaming from next door prevented any such blissful rest from happening.
“I said no! No means no, what part of that don’t you understand you fucking dickheads?! We didn’t agree to meet up with you guys to do something like this you, creeps!” An audible smack and a cry came from beyond the walls. “Somebody help us!”
Junko just realized that she went the entire day without stretching her body except when she did morning training. A smile slowly spread across her face as she stood up in her karate gi. Beating some scumbags should be some nice publicity for her dojo. What person wouldn’t want to sign up for a dojo known to punish bad people?
The young karate practitioner left her hotel room and went over to the room next door. Her hand gripped the door knob, just to realize it was locked. The screams continued from inside the room but besides Junko, nobody else in the hallway listening seemed to care enough to do something. Junko got in her family’s martial stance before kicking the door open with a textbook front thrust kick. The ball of her foot held most of the power she built up within her legs and the door flew open to reveal a group of delinquents disrobing a group of young women.
“Who the hell?” The delinquents looked at Junko.
Barefoot, well-endowed, and wearing a karate outfit. They were momentarily stunned as their fun was paused by this strange disruption. It didn’t help that the karate girl mounted her phone on its side and placed it in the corner to view the entire hotel room. After pushing a button on the phone, she turned and faced the now completely silent room.

“I am Shi Junko and this is the power of Shi Karate! If you like what you see in this livestream, please consider joining our dojo in Rambut City!” Junko stated what she needed and readied herself in her family’s martial stance.
“To think we’d have our fun interrupted by a fucking nutcase...” A guy with his belt undone sighed. “Rough her up, break her phone, and someone fucking close the door before I lose my boner.” He ordered.
The biggest guy, probably 6’5 or so, stopped holding down the small girl underneath him as he walked over to the door where Junko was. He cracked his fists as he neared her with a sadistic grin on his face. Junko couldn’t help but smile as well. A guy this big was perfect to showcase the strength of Shi Karate. Normal people wouldn’t know what the heck to do if they went up against a guy this big. Junko was only 5’3, a midget in comparison to this giant.
“If you don’t resist, I won’t hurt you too much, karate girl.” The giant lecherously licked his lips.
“That’s a way better username than the one I picked...” Junko just realized.
The tense atmosphere between Junko and the giant was almost vibrating. The people from the hall were recording with their phones at the edges of the doorway watching as well. It wasn’t until a sharp crack echoed for everyone to hear that they realized the fight started! But they were confused how it started off... Why was the giant moving all weird like that?
Junko immediately moved in after kicking the giant in the neck. She moved directly under him as she shot her fist upward without holding anything back. Her fist landed directly under his chin and actually lifted him off his feet as he fell backwards. The grin on Junko’s face only rose as she locked eyes with the nearest delinquent next to her. He was still shell-shocked hearing the thump of the giant landing on the floor. Which gave Junko ample opportunity to dash at him with her fist pulled back. Like an arrow released from its string, Junko’s fist seemed to spear right through the skinny delinquent. His entire body arched inward like a shrimp as he fell to the ground unconscious.
“Beat her ass together you fucking morons!” The head delinquent shouted, actually feeling some fear from this karate girl.
“R-Right!” Two of the three remaining delinquents charged at her.
Junko flashed a cheeky smile as the two ran at her. The two young men obviously had more height and reach than Junko did but somehow despite the two of them coming at her together, Junko still attacked first. Her fist sunk into the stomach of the delinquent on her left and then her other right smashed into the right delinquent's stomach. The punches didn’t have enough power to bring them down like the skinny delinquent but it was more than enough to temporarily stun them. The time they took to regain their sense of self was used by Junko to unleash two powerful blows. Junko’s legs rooted themselves firmly into the carpeted floor of the hotel room as she brought her fists backward.
With the force that looked similar to that of two cannons being fired, Junko’s fists penetrated the delinquents’ cores. They were sent flying backward into the wall spewing whatever they ate for lunch. Once they dropped, Junko felt the hair on her body shiver in anticipation from something behind her. With a spinning back kick, Junko greeted the delinquent leader with her foot to his face. Leader of the bad boys went spiraling through the air with blood flowing out of his mouth.
He tried sneaking up on her with a knife in his hand! The nerve of this punk! Thankfully, the livestream, people watching from the doorway, and still conscious victims were the only reason Junko didn’t go further in stretching her body. She walked over to her recording phone and prepared to end the stream.
“And that is the power of Shi Karate! Thugs like this are no match for true martial arts!” She ended the stream with those final words.
Not before also remembering to change her username. She changed it to VictoriousKarateGirl as Junko was sure karate girl or some iteration of it would definitely be taken already. Now with that settled, Junko swiftly ran straight back to her hotel room to avoid any questions and the thanks of the would-be victims. She definitely didn’t run away to avoid having to pay damages to the hotel room or any hospital fees for the criminals. Junko was also definitely not planning to run out of this hotel as soon as she woke up to avoid having to deal with any police officers or anything else.
Upon making it back to her room, she fell dead asleep as soon as she landed on her bed. Not hearing the knocks at her door from the other hotel customers or the victims who wanted to thank her for saving them. Not only did she not hear those outside her door, she also didn’t read the comments of the small few curious viewers on her livestream. Only a total of three people tuned in to the stream but by the end of the short livestream, VictoriousKarateGirl had three new followers.
