Her body felt lighter and faster than ever. By several magnitudes. During her highschool days, Sasha wasn't anywhere near to the shut-in she was now. She had a certain amount of confidence in her athletic ability then, nearly making it to the school team in the track and field. Her performance now would undoubtedly give a professional athlete a run for their money. She jogged around her neighborhood at a very good pace.
It wasn't until an hour had passed that she decided to take a break. The sun was starting to bear down uncomfortably on her, and she had gotten a couple of levels in her Foot Technique. That was good enough for now. She would rest up in anticipation for the training at the dojo later.
It was hard to say whether it was her luck or her enhanced perception. On the minimap that hung in the periphery of her vision, she noticed some white blips disappearing. These markers denoted a person's presence, and so far she had never seen them disappear. After all, people don't... log off in the real world. Unless they died. Sasha turned towards the vague direction that the markers were in. It was near the junction of the road she was on, and there wasn't anything like an accident. A mother and her child were calmly crossing the road. Sasha squinted her eyes, unable to figure out this mystery.
Or they could be hiding.
Suddenly Genji's warning replayed in her head. Hunters. Could it be? All of a sudden Sasha felt very alone in the open street. She casually continued her jog, feigning ignorance, but she slowly increased her speed. If it was true, she might have just made the worst mistake of her life by deciding to jog here alone.
The girl ran down the street at nearly a dead bolt, and turned a sharp right. Once she was around the corner, she quickly crossed the road and vaulted across the fence into someone's lawn. She didn't have time to worry about breaking the law. All she wanted to do was to escape as fast as possible.
