It was time for combat class. I was walking with the rest of the team. Yatsuhashi and Fox were talking about some kind of team attacks we could try pulling off and Coco was talking to me about additions I could make to my combat outfit.

"I think my outfit is fine as it is" I told my best friend

"Yeah, but you should try something different. Brown and yellow don't go well together" Coco said trying to convince me

"I'm not trying to win a fashion contest, I'm just fighting Grimm" I replied while trying to hide my irritation.

I was saved from this conversation as Professor Goodwitch started class. Today was just sparring. Five matches went on before one of us was chosen.

"Let's have Ms. Adele versus...Mr. Ruina." Professor Goodwitch said while browsing the room

Coco versus Avant? I'm not sure who I should root for. Avant did save me from bullies but Coco is my best friend. I guess I'll root for both of them.

"Do your best!" I yelled as Coco and Avant took the stage

Avant sneakily dropped flowers as he walked around the stage. Why would he do that?

"You may begin" Professor Goodwitch said as both my friends drew their weapons.

Coco's handbag transformed into a minigun while Avant's necklace charm transformed into a rapier. Avant started to run at Coco as she pulled the trigger on her minigun. As the bullets started flying, Avant jumped to the side and used his rapier to slice some of the bullets out of the air that he couldn't dodge. Suddenly the blade of Avant's rapier shot out towards Coco, landing at her feet and distracting her. Avant panicked a bit since he was aiming for one of the barrels of the minigun. The blade of the rapier grew back and Avant continued to deflect bullets as he shortened the distance to Coco. Coco slowly backed up as her opponent drew closer, unaware of what was behind her. Avant's aura was down to fifteen percent, almost red, and everyone in the room thought that Avant was clearly outclassed and that he had no idea what he was doing, but he calculated everything; of course there were little surprises such as missing the barrel. The match was over the second Coco stepped on one of the flowers Avant planted as she was backing up. The flower exploded and in shock Coco dropped her minigun. Coco was sent flying to the middle of the stage where the blade Avant shot at her feet earlier was still lodged. As soon as Coco reached the blade it blew up, sending her into another carefully placed flower that also exploded up upon impact. When this flower exploded it sent rope into the air that was connected to Avant's rapier. The rope constrained Coco, and with a tug from Avant the rope tightened and restricted her movement. As a finale to his grand plan, Avant threw his rapier off the stage, dragging the still airborne Coco along with it. The entire room went silent in shock at the game of wits they didn't know was being played.

"The winner is Mr. Ruina" Professor Goodwitch said still recovering from the shock.

Avant was a wallflower who just beat one of the best fighters in our class.

Avant walked off the stage, readjusted his cat ear headphones and approached Coco. He grabbed the rapier and cut the rope, freeing Coco.

"Sorry for playing dirty, you're just too tough for me to take head on" Avent said

"Next time, you're going down" Coco said pissed

Avant decided to flee. That was the right choice. I watched as he went back to his team since I was curious about him. I was surprised when I saw that he was sitting by himself. Maybe they're all sick? Probably not.

The rest of the class didn't have anything special go on. Once class ended something interesting did happen. Avant was walking towards us nervously. He wasn't physically nervous but I could see it in his eye. Before Avant reached us, he put on a pair of glasses. I just noticed that those are the glasses he wore when he saved me. Maybe the glasses boost his confidence or something.

"I wanted to say sorry again for fighting dirty" Avant said as he approached our team on our way to the cafeteria.

"You used strategy, nothing dirty about that" Fox added

Coco elbowed Fox in the side and said "Babe, you're suppose to take my side"

Coco and Fox have been dating since before I met them and they're really in love. It gets akward on friday when me and Yatsuhashi get kicked out of the room from eight to ten. Other than that it's really cute seeing them so in love. Having an extra bed to use as a couch is also nice.

"Vel!" I heard Coco yell, snapping me back to reality

"Yes?!" I yelled in shock

"He asked you if you're doing alright." Yatsu told me

"Sorry, I was daydreaming. I'm fine" I told Avant

"That's good" he said in response "you just seemed a little sad so I just wanted to make sure you're fine."

"That's sweet of you to worry" I told Avant

"Well if you're fine I won't bother you anymore." Avant said as he walked away

He took off the glasses once he was out of a human's hearing range and let out a sigh of relief. I guess the glasses do give him a confidence boost

"Someone's got a boyfriend" Coco sang out as we headed back to our room

"I-I do not!" I defended while blushing really red

"He seems to like youuuuu" Fox teased as he put one arm behind his head as the other held Coco

"I barely know him!" I could tell I'm not winning this

"He seemed nice" Yatsuhashi stated

"Ugh, not you too Yatsu" I whinned

I unlocked the door to our room and we all filled in and collapsed on our beds.

"I've only known Avant for a day alright?" I asked the team

"So his name is Avant" Coco said with confidence in her voice

I just dug a deeper grave. Coco isn't going to let this go is she?
