Hey everyone next chapter.
Chapter 10
Tony-
Two days. I have been here two days and I'm already top of the class in basic fighting, I'm moving up to advanced fighting tomorrow. These guys are all about fighting and hunting and killing. It's kind of creepy when you hear an 8- year old talking about the most recent fight he had in the arena with a magical creature.
Today in fighting class we are starting sparing so this should be fun. ( cough, cough sarcasm )
I get up and crawl out of bed at around 9:00 and I am at class at 9:30. I walk in to see mats everywhere on the floor, obviously for the sparing. We all walk over to the instructor to find out who our sparing partners are going to be. My partner is a guy named Tom; he is ok when it comes to fighting but he is around the middle of the class when it comes to skill, when I am the 'best student'.
We get into fighting position, anyone could easily tell that Tom was scared to face me, he is almost shaking. He throws the first punch; I grab his fist, twist it painfully and flip him over me onto the mat.
We got to pick our sparing partners after the first one. I didn't even try to ask anyone if they would spare with me, no one would. Just then Rose walks in the room and starts talking to the instructor.
Rose-
I can't believe that the huntsman made me go to the basics fighting class with orders to fight Tony, again.
I walk in to see everyone sparing, Tony is just standing there doing nothing when everyone else is sparing with a rival or buddy. I walk up to the instructor to tell him that the huntsmaster told me to spare with Tony, she sends me off to fight him telling me to not delay.
I walk up to Tony and he just says "Rose, what are you doing here?"
"Huntsmaster told me to come here and spare with you."
"Oh great." He says as he gets in a fighting position, I copy his moves
I throw the first punch, he blocks, he kicks, I block. We weren't trying to really fight; we were being forced to fight so we weren't trying.
"So why are you and the huntsmaster still here? I heard that you two live and fight magical creatures in New York?" he asked as he throws a half hearted punch, I easily block. "I don't know why but he wanted to oversee the first two weeks of your training, that has never happened before."
"Oh I feel so special." He said sarcastically as he blocks one of my kicks. At this time most of the other people have started looking over at us. Tony notices and says "Looks like we have an audience." "Ya, they rarely get to see fighting this good or me fighting so they tend to watch when they get the chance." I replied "I figured that but we aren't even trying." He said back, clearly confused. "Yes but they don't know that so seeing someone that can fight me without being knocked to the ground in three seconds in amazing to them. They would not dare challenge me to a fight." I say as I duck a punch and aim a kick to his side, he blocks. "Well no one has been challenging me so I guess they are scared of me as they are you."
Tony-
As soon as I said that she increased the power she put behind the hits. She starts to throw another punch "why do you hate me?" I ask. I was using that as half a battle advantage to get her off her guard and half a legitimate question. It worked as the first half; I used the split uncertainty and pause to first grab the punch, punch her (not to hard) in the side of the head. Knee her in the stomach then kick her to the ground onto the mat.
I put my hand out to help her up; she ignored it, got up and walked out of the classroom. I turn around to see all the students looking stunned that I beat Rose; even the instructor looked a little shocked. Realisation came to me, what she said before, they saw her as a hero, someone impossible to beat, they idolized her, and I just knocked her to the ground and embarrassed her in front of 100 people, rumor would spread. I took a huge chunk of her reputation and threw it away.
The next day I walked into the advanced fighting classroom to see most people in their twenties. As soon as I walk in almost everyone looks at me and starts talking to the people around them, they must have heard about yesterday. They may be twenty but they are gossiping like teen school girls. The rest of the day was really fighting techniques and people gossiping and talking about me and Rose when they think I can't hear them.
It was a really boring day. After all the classes I walk into my room and fall into my bed, exhausted, I'm about to fall asleep when the intercom turns on and a voice comes through it saying "The huntsmaster gives you permission to skip the first two classes for tomorrow and wants to speak to you at 10:30." The comm. Turns off. What does the huntsman want from me now? I don't give it much thought as I soon fall asleep.
How do u guys feel about this? Am I making Rose seem to strong and idolized? Or is it good? Tell me! Next chapter up Thursday
