"I don't know why but I think you are up to no good" Alix said.
"I am going to go harder on you, idiot, trust me I would rather be anywhere on this planet right now than here with you, lift your sword, Alix, lift it like you mean it" she replied as she stood before him.
"If I was in danger, would you protect me even if it costs you your life?" she asked as his eyes widened.
'You may be weak but that is no excuse for you to be a bloody jerk" she said as she punched him into a tree and it shook causing it to shatter and she gasped as her hand trembled.
"Who do you think you are telling me how I am?" he asked as he stood up.
'Do you want to fight me?" she asked.
"No I don't" he responded.
'Why not?" she asked.
"Don't make me call you a coward" she said as he looked at her with our anger in his eyes.
"I will find out what kind of monster you really are," she thought as he walked to her then collapsed onto his knee coughing.
'Hey you okay?" she asked as she stopped down and a wicked smirk appeared on his face as he kicked her in the stomach sending her flying but she landed back on her feet and then laughed.
'You are not a fool, do you want to remain under me or not? my student?" she asked.
"I have no use of my life, sure why not?" he responded and she slapped him so hard that it echoed.
"I may not like you but I think following you will help me win," he said.
"Prove your worth to me then, if you can slice that tree in well two-piece, in half, in three to four days, I will teach you everything I know" she replied.
"How am I going to slice that tree without touching it?" he asked.
"It's infused with magic, only a worth opponent will be able to slice it, not only prove yourself to me but also do it because it might make you feel better, show you, you are not worthless" she responded.
'Fine in three days then" he said.
"Good, here," she said as she threw him a card and he looked at it.
"This is the one the top graduates got" he replied.
"Now watch and learn, there is something called the sword dance, the faster you move the better for you, if you can memorize my footsteps you will be able to put it to use in the tournament," she said as her hair blew up with the wind and her eyes glowed red.
She placed her right foot before the other, placed her hands together, and smiled as she spun around, she moved the sword that was in her hand to curve every one of her moves, the faster the move, the stronger the wind got around her forming a small tornado of leaves and she was the eye of it.
Her clothes wrapped around her body as he looked at her feet but all he saw were sparkles and dust rising in the air.
"Oh no," he said as she pointed the sword at the tree and it shattered it.
'Woah" he said as she sighed and sat down on the soft grass.
'You can manipulate wind?" he asked.
"It was not the wind that did that, I was going so fast that the wind moved in the direction I was, that power came from within, my sword drew most of it out" she responded.
"I don't understand, only wind users are usually able to do that, there are a lot of people whose powers are elements, they get one each some got two," he said.
"Magic, if it's in your blood you are able to do what I just did" she replied.
"I see, are you a monster too?" he asked.
'You really are an idiot, if I were you I would get to work, you only have three days" she responded as Elijah came back with the other and all of them had their weapons in their hands.
"They waited until the ten minutes passed and corned you just like I did when we were training am I right?" she asked and he sighed.
'Kids got the best of you, I suggest you go train with them too, also my pal and master are coming home, I got a message from him last night" she said.
"Who are you guys talking about?" Alix asked.
"You will see, he will give you the time of your life that's for sure" Elijah responded.
'Your highness, we have got a problem" Nina said while panting after running all the way up the hill.
'Slow down, what's the matter?" she asked.
"The demon lord is here and he is not happy" she responded.
"What does he want now? damn it" she said as she downed her head.
"You are friends with every monster it's no wonder you are no different," Alix said as everyone looked at him completely unamused.
"I will handle this by myself, he is not supposed to be here, I have enough problems to deal with already, also any news of the hunters as yet?" she asked.
'Nope not one lead, I am sorry princess but no matter what happens we are never going to find the real culprits" Elijah responded.
"Princess, we need to talk now, we have a problem, and trust me you want to know what it is," someone in a black and red cloak along with a hood over his head said while walking towards her.
"My lord," she said as they bowed their heads.
"Is there a demon roaming around here lately?" he asked.
"Don't tell me you can't keep your people under control" she responded.
"That's the thing, I am the demon lord but the demon is not under my command" he replied and she gasped.
