The boy leapt at me with his sword positioned in front of his body. He swung his sword vertically from the bottom left up diagonally. I promptly blocked his sword with my own causing a clashing sound of metal to fill the surroundings.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Kyle."
"You look similar to that boy Zack who lost against me in the physical test." I said as I saw the boy tense up.
"Don't compare me to that bastard! We may be family but he is nothing compared to me!"
"So both children of the same family think they are better than me."
"Zack isn't but I am and I'll prove it! Shut up and fight me!"
Kyle sent a bunch of slashes of all sorts ranging from diagonal, vertical, thrusts horizontal and such, all of which were either blocked or parried by me.
Kyle leapt back and glared at me.
"Is that all you can do?" He said, "do something!"
"Okay." I said as I jumped forwards at great speed and appeared behind him I held my sword next to his neck with the sharp end of my katana almost cutting his skin.
"Huh?"
"You told me to do something so I attacked." I replied as I transformed Adonis back to its small gem and walked away from the stunned boy.
The crowd all looked amazed and begun to clap. Some even laughed at Kyle as he stood there with his weapon dropped by his side.
I sat down on the floor and waited for the teacher to arrive. Once he had, I got up and made my way over to him.
"Alright class! We have a new student, Kiera. She wanted to do regular class on top of private tutoring so please be respectful. We will begin with 5 laps of the track, begin when you are ready!"
The track was the same we used for the physical test at the entrance exam but without some of the obstacles making it easier for some to complete.
I found the others running to be quite slow so I just ran past them all.
"Kiera I want you to do 10 laps!" The teacher shouted.
Hearing him say so, I sped up my pace and with record time I completed all my laps with others still doing their 5.
I finished mine and made my way over to the teacher.
"Your really good, huh?" He said.
"You could say that."
"I've heard that you fought Scarlet on equal ground in the indoor training grounds number 2, so how was it?"
"I don't really know. We just fought with magic and our physical attacks nothing more to say really."
"I mean do you think you need to improve on anything specific or just want to? Have you found any weaknesses you yourself hold? What about Scarlet? Was she difficult to overcome? Did she use specific moves you could try replicate? Things like that."
"Now that you mention it I was thinking of trying more sword techniques. I don't think I hold any weaknesses—"
'Other than the trauma from my previous life but I won't say that.'
"Nor can I think of anything Scarlet did wrong. She wasn't difficult but she did keep me at bay and we fought, as you mentioned, on equal ground so we were about matched I would say." I replied.
"Sounds interesting." He said, "Everyone! Gather back over here since your all done!" He called out to the class that were finished doing their laps now.
Once everyone was gathered once more he began to tell us what we were doing for today's lesson.
He explained that we would be training with swords until the tournament that was coming up and he expected us all to join it. He said we need to get stances done and swings before doing some small spars.
He walked over to the racks that held various wooden variants of different weapons and threw us all a wooden sword which many failed to catch.
"I'm going to show you a basic stance and I want you all to try replicate it for me."
He positioned himself while explaining how he positioned himself and why he did so which we then all tried to do.
He went round and checked us all. The responses he would give went from different 'Not quite.' 'Almost.' And 'Try again's but he looked at mine and told me mine was perfect so he decided to use me as an example.
"Kiera here has got it perfected—"
"She has trained a lot before so no wonder." Someone whispered while the teacher was speaking.
"Yeah, she actually knows what she is doing."
"This is my first time and you only showed us once, how will we manage to perfect it." More whispers gathered from multiple people.
"— but for the rest of you we will try and get your stances just like Kiera's and then she will demonstrate some slashes." He continued, ignoring the whispers.
"Let's try again." He spoke slightly louder this time.
I didn't bother trying the stance again as it was pointless for me so i just helped others with their attempts at taking a basic stance.
"That's not quite right. Move your left leg inwards a little more and hold your arms out more." I said to a girl who almost had it.
"Hold your sword with two hands." I said to a boy who was holding a long sword one handed.
I continued helping out here and there along with helping with their slashes until the small sparring came along.
