Jack, Pam and Sam all reach the first classroom for today, the students within the class seems to be quite exited and a lot of chatter can be heard from outside the room.
Jack, Pam and Sam all go towards the front of the classroom, bottom left to be exact. As it's still not time for class to start.
Sam and Pam talk with one while jack decides to listen to the conversations a couple of students are having.
" man I can't wait to prove how strong I am to everyone"
" hay have you heard, apparently the combat teacher is a complete hottie"
" why would that matter you are meant to fight not gawk at the teacher"
" I hope they find that mimicking monster that one sounds scary to encounter".
" oh that was just a wife's tale to stop children walking out at night and stop people being gullible, nothing more"
" oh what about the s rank adventurer, apparently they took out a dragon by them selves"
" ye right, like a s rank can take out a dragon, you sure it was not a wyvern that looked like a dragon."
Pam " man I hope i get to see everyone weapon today"
Sam "that's all you think about Pam.
Also Pam, you think jack will pick a 4th member soon."
Pam " not really I think he is saving a spot for someone… maybe a secret lover or something.
Oh I wonder what they are like , you think it's a girl, boy, what race, half orc, an orc!."
Sam" we don't need to know your preferences Pam"
After a couple minutes the door opens up , all the student starts to quite down as the teacher walks in, a sudden disappointed sigh could be heard by one of the students as the teacher comes into view.
he is a older man , maybe around 30, a scar across his left eye going down to his lip, he is bold, dark skin, brown eyes, and extremely muscular, like a body builder a bushy handle bar moustache, a stern face, a great sword on his back, and is around 6ft7 in height.
The teachers voice booms " attention student, i will not repeat this again so you better remember it, my name is Qumbu stone, you lot will call me mr stone and only me stone, I will be your weapon combat trainer until you leave."
"now for your first lesson, sparing with you fellow classmates, this will be one on one."
"I will call your names and the two people I call will come down to the area in front of me and stand one either end and wait for my signal, the rules will be, you fight until your opponent forfeits or can no longer fight, sadly there is a safety bubble so you lot will be shielded you if it detects that you are either going to die or if permanent damage will be dealt so you lot better be grateful for this magic and use it to the fullest."
"Jerry b Blake, Tom T Terrice come down"
a couple of very slow minutes pass.
" Jerry is the winner, go back to your seats, jack vulpes, Jupiter arc, come down."
students" isn't Jupiter, like, famous or something."
" ye she is the best from her school in combat and her parents are well known adventures"
" isn't she that girl from the baking advert "
"dam that jack fellow is going to have a bad time"
" I wish I was jack."
" man she give Pyrrha Nikos vibes to me"
Jack and Jupiter are now looking at one another and both bow, they both take out their respected weapons, Jupiter take out a spear and shield from her bracelet, while jack takes out two long swords with unlit runes down the middle.
" start!"
"Piecing fox rush" jack shouts as both his sword glow blue with mana, with a sudden burst of speed, jack rockets towards Jupiter with his two swords Pointed forward.
Jupiters response is to put her shield up and side steps to the left, putting her spear below jacks feet as he charges past, jack being tripped, staggers trying to keep his balance and turns around.
"hellfire thrust"
a dark flaming spear heading for his chest, as it gets closer to jack's chest a sudden light blue bubble appears around jack deflecting the flaming spear.
cracks appearing all over the blue bubble, but still causing the spear to miss, jack them jump to the right, giving himself some space.
jack dashes forward swing both his swords left, right, diagonal. Jupiter calmly blocks all the slashes with her shield.
"fox fang"
jacks swords then glow once more as he stabs towards Jupiter's throat but a red bubble blocks his attack " your naming of moves suck. "
" not the time to be judging my naming of things. "
" hellfire tornado."
Jupiter's spear then starts glowing red as she spins it above her head, jack sensing danger, jumps back, and were he stood a spinning dark red fire tornado come out. He dodges the flaming tornado, but felt a sudden pain in his shoulder, as a throwing knife is firmly in.
A rushing Jupiter then come through the tornado and stabs towards jack getting his other shoulder, blood can be seen dripping from both but no sound of it hitting the ground.
" give up, you can't beat me"
…
jack just smiles as Jupiter.
Jumping back with her spear, but still taking one of two blood spikes to the leg, Jupiter clicks her tongue and slashes the spike in her leg, collapsing it.
the runes on jacks blades go for a red to a blue glow.
"frost fox slash"
two crescent moon shaped ice blasts head towards Jupiter, as her red bubble appears once more blocking the attack, leaving cracks within the red bubble(mana shield) then two swords come crashing into the red mana shield, causing it to break and cutting Jupiter.
jack smiles, Jupiter smashes her shield against jacks face, sending him back a couple feet.
jack then jumps in the air.
" falling fang"
Jupiter dodges backwards narrowly missing the two swords hitting the ground, the arena slightly cracking, Jupiter seeing an opportunity stabs towards jacks head, jack sees this, moves his head to the right, having the spear pass just by his head.
Jack then drops one of his swords and grabs Jupiter's spear and pulls is closer towards himself, being yanked forward Jupiter let's go of her spear but still carried by the momentum.
she does a forward roll heel kick toward jacks head, a clean hit, if this was a movie or something it would play 3 times, jack then hit the ground.

" not yet"
jack struggles to say, doing his best to get up, shaky hands, blood dripping from his head
" I can still fight"
he is fulled with determination, slowly standing up, bloody slowly covering one eye, Jupiter then turns around, a spear of pure dark flames appears in her hands, jack, struggling gets up, one sword in hand, he takes a few steps forward, staggering,
" please work" whispers jack, he then takes a deep breath in, taking in mana from the air, water then starts surround his one sword, seeing this Jupiter rushes jack, a final stab toward his chest , jack raises his sword in both hands and slashes downwards, the water disappearing and jack breaths out, all his mana going with it, passing out, a spear stopping a few inches from going into his chest, then catching jack.
" I win "
Jupiter sighs.
"Jupiter arc is the winner, take him to the doc" Jupiter, says nothing and carries jack over her shoulder out the classroom."
Hours later
"Ah, everything hurts," jack winces.
" Ah mr volpus , your awake, I have to say you had a number done to you, and how did you lose all your mana, you need to be more carful."
"Oh and miss arc left a message for you she said, no hard feelings and get a better naming sense."
"Your team are waiting outside along with you dad"
" huh, why… how long was i out."
" well mr volpus you were out for the entire school day, if it was not for your depleted mana, it would of only been around 2 hours or so."
" oh… OH, thank you I will be going now"
jack scampering out the bed towards the door.
"Sorry if I worried you dad, also sorry pam and sam I didn't expect to be out so long, hehe."
Skannon" just don't do it again if you can help it ok" a small smile on his face
" Sam " took you long enough, what was it, the nurse."
" jack " NO! that not it, I i just woke up ok"
Sam "sure you did, anyway you are fine now so me and Pam are going, you dad want to talk to you about something important apparently."
Sam and Pam then say goodbye to jack and Skannon, quietly Skannon says" jack we might of found her, one of the bases near grassmer kingdom."
"WHAT!.. I mean really, that great new, right?" "
" I'll tell you more at home jack" Skannon says seriously.
20 minutes later
