Chapter 10: On The First Week
Birdin: "oh man Jolin, am so envious, I know with your and Grace's chemistry level, you both surely won't be separated. What kind of luck did you have to meet her and deserve such great partnership." Jolin then smacked his head because he knew Bird meant it with double meaning. Him and her Weren't like that, they were simply friends, he explained. Throughout the week they would all eat breakfast together and train hard.
*Later on that day*
"Huff huff huff"
Other Person: " Wow you sure are good, back at my academy, no one could last this long against me."
Jolin: " you ain't bad yourself, no wonder the best are here."
Instructor 1: " okay next match. For this match it will be Sir Tomlin vs Grace. Please start as soon as you both are ready."
Both step on the stage, as soon as they did both grinned and immediately launched themselves towards each other. Both were happy that they had found someone as straight forward as each other. Sword clangs could be heard and their speed was amazing.
Jolin: " Ha, I told you my friend was amazing but am amazed at your cousin there."
The person he had just fought wanted to be called James without any titles since here they were all equal and were great. There was many people left now and it was amazing since it was the first week. The beginning training was so tuff that even though they had all gone to great academies and were some of the best in their classes, they had still been beaten to almost death. They had found out that their goals on their sheets actually meant double the number. They discovered this the next days when their instructors suddenly asked them for double and explained their reasoning and trickery. Everyone's hearts were cracked but not surprised because even though their goals were hard, they knew this couldn't be the hellish training they heard of. That way, a third of the participants lost; many had been chosen from Wild cards and the extra nameless cabins began emptying and moving around started happening.
*back at the fight*
Tomlin had been one of the greater fighters but was ecstatic when he found someone just as good and to his surprise, it was a girl too!
" Clash Clash, ptfff, boom"
Clashes and gusts of wind and power could be felt with each block and attack. It was a great spectacle to behold when suddenly, instructor 2 came inside and started fighting both of them. Tomlin and Grace were taken aback. Grace stole a stare at Jolin and asked him to help her since she wasn't going to partner with Tomlin because in her heart, he wasn't his buddy yet, even if he had proven his worth. Jolin immediately understood and without hesitation went to Grace's side and started helping her. IST2( Instructor 2 smiled).
At that moment, James enters to help Tomlin and just like that, two members for the first two teams were locked. Instructor 1 jumped in to help him. That way four people were fighting two instructors. The others were amazed but couldn't enter the ring when they saw the other instructors glared at them. Even though the instructors were their enemies, both junior teams( Grace +Jolin and Tomlin + James' team) were also not on the same side and generally avoided conflicts with each other. Grace's and Jolin synced perfectly and in second were Tomlin and James'. Tomlin was powerful so he would mainly attacked whilst Jolin and Grace would take turns. They were having great fun and James seemed to be taking most of the hits. His body was covered in bruises but the others had some as well. Even Grace didn't escape a few scrapes but Jolin always has her back. Thus all the instructors agreed not to separate them. Grace was a beautiful woman warrior; strong,savage and fearsome , but graceful at the same time. Meanwhile, Jolin was handsome, eye catching, strong and skilled not too far behind grace. This is what onlookers thought. Tomlin wasn't too behind either.
Suddenly a scream was heard and James fell down with a sword on his cheek.
CLASH!!
Grace has taken this moment to aim her sword at instructors 1 next but to her surprise he had taken out a dagger and barely sustained her attack. His arms were shaking, fortunately INST2 had come at the crucial time to aid his partner. Tomlin tried to finish INST2 but failed as INST2 both helped sustain INST1's dagger with his own and parry Tomlin with his one handed sword. Jolin kicked INST2's feet but failed and James lost consciousness soon after. INST 2 somehow took his partner away as they both jumped away in time to evade a three person attack on them.
INstructors:" enough, this is good, this is great! Now take care of James and rest for now. Next up please."
Tomlin hurriedly went to James' side and Jolin helped get him up to get treated. Nobody had lasted 15 minutes against the instructors before. They were all enlightened and weren't to worried about James. He was simply exhausted since they were constant attacked and had to used maximum affect even though it was 4 against 2. This was the might of great warriors and they looked up to becoming like them. They all diligently increased everything such as strength and techniques/skills etc.
James:" Am sorry Tomlin I failed you."
Tomlin:" Shhh, no its okay bro, you were awesome. Thanks for following me man."
Jolin:" Yea man, that was great but, I gotta say, I think me and Grace won jeje."
Tomlin and James both glared at him then laughed. They left James to rest and returned.
When they returned they were surprised to see everyone was done sparring for the day and that they would close practice early but should train harder by themselves. They also has news. The instructors announced that Grace and Jolin would be a team and Tomlin and James performances/teamwork were great too so they would also be a different team. Everyone cheered, this meant they were one step closer to actually forming a whole team and being trained more specifically. They were congratulated but were also envious and all decided to work harder. They went back to their cabins and all took turns taking a shower. At the cabin, they had all decided to separate the two bathrooms and restrooms; 3 people would get one set and the other 3 the other. Grace always took the first turn as Jolin glared and made sure nobody else dare pull any tricks. Everyone just laughed, as if they would dare look at her, she could kill them all!
