A weapon

 In the hospital, everyone could see the nurses and doctors rushing and a woman's voice can be heard. After a few minutes, a baby's cry followed the woman's voice.

"Congratulations Ma'am, it's a very beautiful girl" the doctor said happily.

"A GIRL?!!", the woman, despite losing energy, managed to shout that caused the child to be startled and cry again.

The doctor's face showed confusion as he looked at the woman's angry face.

"Is there a problem, Ma'am?" the doctor said.

"Of course, there is, and THAT is the problem!!", she said angrily while pointing at her own child.

A man's voice then interrupted them. "So it's a girl, and not a boy?!", the man said angrily.

The doctor couldn't help but thought to himself about the problem with the child's parents, because they don't seem to be happy to have this girl he's currently holding as their child. He then heard the man sighed and saw the woman grits her teeth out of pure annoyance, so he gave the baby to them and asked them politely to not hurt their child before leaving the room quietly.

Days have passed, then weeks, months, and now it has been six years after that event. The child is now 6 years old and is currently at her room when she heard a knock on her door. She got up and went to open it while struggling to reach the handle. When she opened it, she saw her father's butler, and he asked her to come with him.

When they arrive at the place, the girl saw many people outside the house standing in an arranged manner while all of them are wearing a suit.

"Who are they, uncle Lin?", the child asked her father's butler.

"They will be your teachers, Young miss.", Butler Lin said calmly while walking behind the child.

"Everyone, this is the child of Mr. Rio Stanford, Miss Zin Stanford, and you have to teach her everything you know!" Butler Lin said in a strict and firm voice.

"Greetings, Young miss.", the teachers said.

After the introduction, Mr. Lin explained everything to Zin and tell her that she needs to learn and memorize everything they teach and she just nodded.

The training started the next day, although Zin is struggling to memorize everything, she still managed, because of how strict her teachers are. They would use every means just to make her memorize everything even though they felt pity for the child. Their time is limited because her father, Mr. Rio has asked them to teach her everything in 4 years saying she still have to learn other things apart from what they're teaching, so they agreed and couldn't do anything about it because he's too powerful enough to make them lose their jobs if they oppose him.

Zin has been memorizing everything and she doesn't have a time for having fun like the other kids her age. All she do everyday is read, write, memorize, answer every test her teachers gave her, and that is not the case here. What she's been learning is from basic to advance knowledge, to put it simply, her father hired teachers and professors so she can learn everything from elementary to college level.

After 4 years, she has finally learned everything and the teachers bid their farewells before leaving, she thought that's the end and she can finally go back home but the next, another group of middle aged men arrived introducing themselves as military instructors.

"WHAT?!", Zin couldn't help but shout when she heard them said she need to run 500 laps because what is she? She's just a ten-year old girl and that's not what a ten year old would do!

However, she still did it and finished it in four hours and after taking a 30 minutes rest one of the instructors gave her black bracelets and asked her to wear it in her limbs. And when she saw 5kg that is clearly written in all the four bracelets, she couldn't help but curse, she didn't even notice that she's cursing.

Days have passed and the weights that she's wearing kept on increasing every week and she have to wear everyday without taking it off. She run miles with it, sleep, eat, bath, and even practice martial arts, self defense and any means of techniques with it because her instructors insisted that she need to wear it no matter what happens, and even if she's lifting another heavy things.

For the past four years, she's been learning close range and long rang combats, and her body got used to it for the past years while it is also starting to develop muscles. When she has learned everything, the instructors leave once again, and another group of men arrived saying they're coaches in different types of sports.

After another four years she's learned every sports that ever existed, and now she's already eighteen.

Zin is standing inside her room while looking out the window thinking about the things that she's been doing all this time, and she couldn't help but think how the world looks like. Her blue eyes that has always been full of life is now emitting a deathly gaze and her expression has turned cold.

" At first, I thought it was all for my own good, I learned everything they want me to learn, I followed their instructions but yesterday, I saw how parents treat their child. How naive of me to think that it was because my parents love me that's why they want me to learn everything and develop my skills at such a young age. But being trained like this I can't help but think to myself, am I just a weapon for their rise in the business empire?", she muttered while looking at the moon outside the window.
