[h1][color=violet]Claudia Valentina[/color][/h1][/center]

The boat ride was a long and uneventful trip, at least for the Principessa. She spent her time either idly playing with her Tommy or laying in a "paint me like one of your french girls"-esque pose and enjoying the attention she was receiving. It perhaps wasn't enough to make an impact already, but that would come soon enough.

Sigh. What a day! She never expected Russia would have such warmth. She could the heat on her shoulders and legs and she stopped for a moment to just relax and breathe it all in. Smell that? That's the smell of a new start. No business to deal with, no rats and snitches to deal with, just the Academy, some refining of skills and maybe a few new connections to be made. Who knows, maybe even a romance or two? She laughed a little to herself. Yeah, right. As if she could find anyone of Valentine material here.
Soon, after a couple of years, she'd return to take her rightful place in the Family. But until then, why not relax and enjoy yourself?

She very calmly followed whom she could only assume was the Head, Tommy cradled like a baby in her arms. They were brought to a small training area where several dummies looked back at them. The woman informed them of her name in Rusky, then told them to take their shots at wrecking the dummies. Claudia rolled her eyes. Really? That didn't seem like a task. Of course, it's rarely as simple as that. In her business, it paid not to underestimate routine tasks.
She caught out the corner of her eye some mummy-looking broad stealing glances at the other students. There's always one, eh? Ah well, might as well play it up. Acting as though she was unaware of Sayaka's perversion, she casually thrust her butt in her direction. Go on, let them look, let them get some entertainment out of this.

[color=00aeef]"I call first!"[/color] the Mummy called out in a vaguely French accent, before setting fire to everything in front of her. Claudia waited for something - anything - to happen. But no, the dummies just melted under the heat of the flames. Boring! Are you freaking kidding? That's it? Just kill a bunch of dummies? She did that daily. What exactly was being tested here?

The next person to go up was a fresh-faced young girl. She was kinda cute, but in that innocent, big eyed way, which wasn't really Claudia's scene. She'd leave her to someone more brutal than herself. The girl seemed to pander about awkwardly, as though unsure what to do. Adorable, really, just adorable. You rock up to an academy that contains some of the fiercest killers known to man and act like a lost lamb. I give you a week unless you change that attitude sharp, girly.

When Blondie backed down, Claudia didn't even flinch. One moment, she was standing roughly in the middle of the crowd, one hand on her hip and the other holding her Tommy by her side. Then, she was pointing above the heads of her fellow trainees, revolver in hand and taking aim. Some who saw her backed away, but most of the people ahead of her didn't have that privilege. One false move meant taking off the head of a fellow student and most likely expulsion.

[b]BANG![/b]

A dummy fell back, the centre of it's head demolished

[b]BANG! BANG! BANG![/b]

Three more dummies fell in quick succession, each in a more awkward spot to hit than the last, each practically losing their heads to the caliber of bullet that came from Claudia's Rhino. The Tommy was untouched, still by her side. Only then did the students ahead look behind them to see Claudia standing there, smirking cockily, Rhino seemingly pointed straight at them. They backed off but it was too late. She was done.

She holstered her gun back in her bra, turned around and swept her hair back with her free hand, before going to the back of the line where the Mummy had gone. Some looked at her like she was nuts, others were more focussed on their own killing of dummies. More than a couple of eyes darted to her retreating backside.
[color=violet]"Piece a' cake"[/color] she murmured to herself as she walked up next to the Mummy girl. She anticipated tougher challenges to come, so she saved a couple of shots. Might need them later, she reasoned

[color=violet]"I saw you peeking at me earlier"[/color] she whispered to the Mummy as the others took their turns. [color=violet]"You like what you see?"[/color]
