Chapter One - New Beginnings

A blonde teenager with a green snapback and brown leather boots slipped his satchel bag off of his shoulder and stood outside the school gates, reading the sign above them; "Smashville High". He had moved to Smashville only recently after he had received an invitation from the headmaster (Master Hand) to attend his school of talented individuals. The teen didn't know what made him so special as to a point that he was invited to this school, he thought that being skilled with a sword was something necessary to his life and a valuable skill every person worth their salt should have. Despite this, his parents reassured him that he was indeed very talented as he was not only skilled with the sword but also very intelligent. Trying to think of it this way, the teen sighed, slipped his bag back onto his shoulder and stepped through the gates. He looked down at his wrist to check his watch. It read 08:55. "Shit," he thought "my first day at my new school and I'm late. Perfect." Upon thinking this, he hurried towards the main school building to find his classroom. He checked his timetable to see what his first lesson of the year was - fencing. He smirked and carried on towards the main school building.

"I've already missed form time, so I might as well just go to first lesson." He thought.

He arrived at the fencing hall and waited for everyone else to turn up; eventually, that happened. The teen felt surprised when he saw how many people were attending that particular lesson; at least 30 people were lined up outside the fencing hall. At exactly 9 am, the teacher opened the door to the hall and ushered everyone inside. Once everyone was seated on the plastic chars, the teacher introduced himself as Mr Gawain, but he told everybody to call him Ike. He then told everyone to introduce themselves to the class and tell them something interesting about themselves. When it got round to the blonde teen, he introduced himself as Link Ordona and that he was quite skilled with the sword. Upon hearing this, Ike felt a slight smile creep onto his face.

Once the whole class had introduced themselves, Ike told them to pick a partner and begin fencing. Link immediately headed over to the foils in order to pick the best one. After finding one suitable, he asked a boy with kind eyes and blue, swoopy hair to spar with him; this boy's name was Marth.

Little did Link know, he wasn't the only one in the class who was skilled with the sword.

So, there's the first chapter of my fanfic! I hope you guys enjoy it and look forward to the next chapter! I'll try and publish it as soon as possible! :)
