A/N: I'm on vacation, but Monday is our first day back, so don't expect so many chapters per month. Now we can get into the story. So, here it is, chapter 5!
The first day was a little hectic. The students were being separated into groups. Since Alex was officially no longer a student, he had to help separate the students.
As each one ran by, and the sergeants gave their input. It was easy for Alex to tell which ones were the most or the least fit because he had been in P.E. class with them for years.
After two hours of examining, the groups were established. Alex was assigned two groups of students. They were in the medium fitness level. Alex pitied the man who had to train the lazy, lowest level ones.
The first activity was marshal arts. Alex's students were expected to reach the yellow belt (A/N: that's the second level for people who don't know about karate) in one day. There was a special karate teacher, but Alex was so good that it had been decided that he would teach alone.
A few kids in the group had done some marshal arts before. However, they were quite rusty, so the group was pretty much all beginners.
Each sergeant was given a captain as their assistant. It was just Alex's luck that Wolf was his. Wolf showed up late, and Alex thoroughly enjoyed making him do one hundred push-ups.
"All right. Who here has done karate before?" asked Alex. A few hands went up. "Today Captain Wolf and I are going to teach you an easy kick. It's called the snap kick. Wolf, would you care to demonstrate?" he asked, grinning. This kick was the hardest for Wolf.
Wolf stepped forward and brought his leg up clumsily. He jump up to switch legs and snapped the other forward. There was a cracking noise. A couple people giggled. Wolf turned slightly red.
"Okay people, on your feet." called out Alex. When only a handful of students moved, he yelled "Last one up does two hundred!" (A/N:those are push-ups people) At once they all jumped up. "I'll do it slowly for you now." Alex brought one knee up. "You bring the opposite knee up, then jump and switch legs." He demonstrated. "Then you snap the rest of your leg forward. Why don't you guys start withy the kick before you try jumping. Just bring your knee up and snap the rest forward."
There was a lot of shuffling around as people found a place to practice. Alex and Wolf walked around, helping and demonstrating for the kids who had trouble. Pretty soon they all had it down. "Now let's work on the jump." announced Alex. "Just bring one knee up, then jump and switch knees." He showed them. Again the students shuffled about before starting. When they got that, Alex told them to put it together.
By the time the lunch bell rang, Alex's entire group had completed their yellow belt test and passed. As he walked to the mess hall, Wolf came up next to him. "You remember how yesterday at lunch you were about to sit down and you flinched and made a face. I asked you what happened and you said you got shot. I don't think I was really paying attention to you, so I'm gonna do this now. CUB, HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET SHOT!?" yelled Wolf in Alex's face. "Well... I was walking out of the MI6 building, and there was some guy on the roof across the way, and he just sort of... shot me." replied Alex, trying to sound as if he didn't care.
"Why on Earth did they WANT to shoot you?" demanded Wolf. "Hey, Wolf. You're shouting in my face. I refuse to answer your question until you return to a normal tone and respect my personal space. Imagine like a bubble, all the way around me. Can ya do that?" Alex was just slightly irritated. Wolf scowled, but stopped yelling and stood back a little.
"Seriously. What were you doing?" asked Wolf. "If you really want to know, I got the idea to join an assassin organization that was planning to kill thousands of British school children. SCORPIA? Maybe you've heard of them?" said Alex simply. Wolf's jaw dropped. "You worked for them?"
"Yeah. I guess I did. Then they tried to make me kill Mrs. Jones, and I sort of failed that one. She was behind bulletproof glass the whole time." He said. Wolf snickered. Alex sighed. "I'm okay now, though. Bullet just missed my heart. Busted an artery instead. This has been a lovely chat, but I really must go make sure my trainees make it to lunch." he said before walking away.
A/N: Okay... there has been a big mix-up regarding the whole ranking thing. Captain means captain of a UNIT in this case. Sergeants train the units. Therefore, for these purposes, a sergeant is higher than a captain. Sorry for the confusion. Anyway, I hope you liked it. I'm thinking of starting another fic, but I'm not sure yet. Love you guys!
XOXO
