"Come to me tomorrow after class, I'll teach you it then."
"Thank you."
I bowed
Ms. Brent left the gym and went back to her office.
"Thank you for sparring with her Ian."
"...No problem."
"How did it feel against it?"
"...I was very confused."
"I thought she would attack from the right; she kicked my left."
"I thought she would attack from up; she kicked my stomach."
"I thought she would go for a kick; she slashed at my right."
"If you fought against it again, would you have an easier time?"
"...I don't know..."
"I think you become defenseless while attacking..."
"If I caught one of her kicks then I'd probably be able to stab her stomach."
"But if I think she's going to kick, and I try to catch it, but she doesn't kick she could slash my neck."
"It's tricky..."
"Hmm... Thank you for the info."
"I'll buy you a drink, what do you want?"
"Water please..."
"Alright."
I had left the gym and bought him some water, after we had a short conversation and then I went back to my room. It was time to sleep.
---
I woke up early again the next morning, I did my run with Rio and then showered as usual. Today I had body training class. I had no idea what we'd be doing.
Rio and I arrived at class early, and then slowly the other students came.
Every weekday we would be in Mr. Mispholfo's class before we went to our other classes.
"You have your talent training today right Rio?"
"Yeah, I wonder what they'll have me doing."
"Since your talent is 'Weapon Master' you'll probably have to learn how to use a lot of different weapons."
"Shouldn't I already know how to use them though?"
"Just because you know how to use them against air doesn't mean you'll know how to use them in a fight."
"Oh..."
"What class do you have today?"
"I have body training and then I'm doing some extra sword training with Ms. Brent after that."
Suddenly there was someone in front of my table.
"What did you do?"
It was Ayaka.
"What do you mean?"
"Why did Taku ask me if I was okay yesterday?"
Looks like Taku asked her what happened.
"I just told Taku what I saw."
"Hm... I think you exaggerated it though."
"I couldn't remember what I heard exactly but I think I had got the rough idea of it."
"You should thank me."
"What?"
"I went along with what you said. I told Taku that's exactly what happened."
"Why?"
"What do you mean why?"
"Huh?"
"What?"
"I'm confused."
"Are you actually an idiot or something?"
"I don't think so."
"Well anyway just say thank you."
"Thanks."
"No problem."
As she started heading back to her desk, she said one last thing
"By the way... I thought what you did for your brother yesterday was cool."
"What was that?"
"Hmph!"
"Leo...Are you friends with Ayaka?"
"I don't think so."
Kazu came up to my desk next
"I also think what you did yesterday was amazing!"
"What?"
"Protecting your brother like that! You're so cool!"
What the fuck was he talking about? Did he hit his head on a lamp or something?
He went back to his desk.
Taku entered the room next. And would you guess it, he came straight to my desk.
What the fuck? Did I eat a popularity pill or something? Why was I so popular today?
"There should be no problems now. I took care of them."
"Ah, Thanks."
"Thank you too."
He went back to his desk.
"Leo, did you do something else yesterday?"
"I have no fucking idea."
Mr. Mispholfo entered the class next, and everyone quieted down.
"Good morning class, we have an announcement from the principle."
He put a device down that started to speak
"Good morning everyone! I'm sorry I didn't get to say this on your first day of school but congratulations on being accepted!"
"I'm sure your teachers have told you already but if you need anything added to your rooms than ask for a form and there's a high chance you'll get it!"
"I hope you enjoy the rest of your school year and I wish you all good luck!"
The device went mute.
"You heard her. Does anyone have any questions?"
…
"No?"
"Then you can head to your classes now."
We all got up
"Rio, I'll see you at lunch."
"Okay!"
"Goodluck."
"Goodluck!"
I headed to body training class.
We had a separate building, inside of it, it was full of training equipment. Such as dumbbells, weight bars, and stuff like that.
It was another mixed class, though it was quite empty. There was only one other person from Class C in here, Ally Ashton.
"Good morning class! I'll be your body training teacher; my name is Bruno Lincoln."
"Let's get straight into it, shall we?"
"Everyone! Go run 100 laps around the track!"
What. The fuck?
The beginning of hell had begun.
The track wasn't small at all, it was about a fourth of a mile per lap. This crazy motherfucker was asking us to run 25 miles? Um, what?
Everyone was confused.
"I'm kidding!"
There was a lot of sighs of relief
"You only have to run around the track 40 times!"
…
That was still 10 miles...
"What are you waiting for!? Get moving!"
Fuck.
Everyone had started to run. If anyone started to walk the teacher would say
"Don't walk! Run!"
"You won't die from running! Keep going!"
It was fucking hell.
