"come on rush or we will be late" torgal chuckled through rushs door, we heard him grunt before the doors swung open, revealing rush to use, he had put some old, tatty cloths on, and really tatty, it left little to the imagination, his trousers were ripped from the knees down and holes upwards, his top was quite tight, revealing his muscles, he had his swords attached to his back, i heard rush chuckle, snapping me from my daze
"dave come on will ya" rush chuckled, i blushed madly at the fact he caught me staring, he linked his hand with mine, at first i was nervous about this, but now im ok with it, infact i was ok with most signs of affection in puplic, we talked whilst walking to the teleporter
"my first day back at the academy i cant wait" rush said eagerly
"hmmm i wonder how everyone will react?" torgal thought aloud
"so who am i gonna be training?" rush asked
"my top class" torgal said happily, rushs face lit up like a light bulb
"you mean?" he muttered
"yep, hinnah, hannah, young, ludope, zuido and snievan" torgal said happily, none of those names rang a bell in my head
"really! there all still there?" rush asked in shock
"yep hinnah, hannah and young havent passed the practical exam, and the other three fail theory" torgal explained, a small smile tugging on his lips
"oh i see" rush muttered, i smiled as we arrived at the teleported, it had been many years since i have been to the academy, it would be nice, rush placed his hand on the teleporter "training academy" rush said clearly, the teleporter reacted and teleported us 3 straight there, we landed outside the academy doors, it hadnt change at all, the buliding itself was as old as the city, and just as beautiful, i smiled to myself
"this place hasnt changed" i smiled
"i know its been a long 7 years" rush said happily
"well lets get you to your class shall we?" torgal chuckled before walking through the doors
"hey wait up" rush chuckled, grabbing my hand, i chuckled as we ran through the doors to catch up to torgal, it had been a good 9 years since i was here, we returned to a walk once we had caught torgal up, on the walls were pictures of all the people who have left the academy, i could tell some of the, emma, emmy, torgal, bloctor, pagus, me, my father and rush, i smiled at what was under each of them
emma- mother to all
emmy- more than a pretty face
torgal- quad man
bloctor- big boy
pagus- magics main man
david- prince of the court
rolan- king of the court
rush- the odd one out
rushs confused me slightly, the odd one out?
"erm dave you coming?" rush asked
"erm yeah" i muttered, turning from the the picture and following rush and torgal
"what were you doing anyway?" rush asked
"i was reading the quotes under our pictures, and yours confused me" i explained
"oh" was all rush said "erm ask torgal cos i dont know either" rush chuckled nervously, i nodded
"erm torgal may i ask somthing?" i asked, torgal turned to me and nodded "why under rushs picture does it say the odd one out?" i asked, torgal smiled softly
"ah the reason it says that is because he was the first to master some top moves, the first to ever beat me and the first to finish in under 5 years, hence the odd one out" torgal explained with a smile
"ahhh i see" i chuckled, and rush was turning red with all the attention on him, i smiled and made a mental picture of it
"come on" rush muttered and began to walk, i chuckled slightly, we followed torgal until he came to a stop infront of one of the doors, he turned to rush
"wait here until i tell you to come in" torgal said firmly
"ok torgs" rush chuckled
"torgal!" torgal hissed, rush laughed freely and layed against the wall, torgal smiled and opened the door, i could hear many voices chattering, torgal walked in and the voices stopped, i followed, i looked to the class, there was 2 girls and 1 boy, the 2 girls looked identical except for there hair, one had jet black hair whilst the other had a silvery colour, there armour was the smae and so were the swords, the boy hand long brown hair, tied into a pony tail and no armour
"morning torgal" the boy said happily
"morning young" torgal said happily, so the boy was young
"morning torgal" the black haired girl said happily
"morning hannah" torgal smiled
"torgal" the white haired girl muttered
"hinnah" torgal said in the same tone, so hinnah and hannah were sisters
"who the new guy?" hannah asked curiously, looking at me, torgal looked at me, i nodded
"i am david nassau, marquis of athlum" i said calmly, everyone had blank faces, a normal reaction, it would seem hinnah was the first to recover
"so what are you doing here?" hinnah asked, bored but curious
"im here to have a look around it has been a good 9 years since i was last here" i explained happily, hinnah nodded, everyone else nodded aswell
"so torgal who beat you up?" young chuckled, hinnah and hannah muffled there giggles, i placed my hand over my mouth to hide my smile
"that story i will tell you another time" torgal chuckled
"AWWWW!" the 3 moaned, i muffled a laugh
"you best but now were not gonna get to do practical are we?" hannah moaned, torgal smiled softly
"yes you will dont worry, ill just be doing theory for a while" torgal chuckled
"whos doing practical? i bet there shit" young snarled
"yeah i bet there stuck up to" hinnah chuckled
"and not to mention ugly" hannah moaned, i noticed torgal roll his eyes, the door opened suddenly
"hey now thats not very nice guys" rush chuckled as he walked in the room, sending everyone into stunned silence "i mean for all you know i could be your new practical teacher" rush chuckled harder, the three were sat in stunned silence, hannah was the first to recover
"RUSH!" she giggled happily, flinging herself at him and hugging him, he nearly fell over
"hey hannah" he chuckled, hugging her back "you gonna let me go?" he asked, she let go
"oh my god what are you doing here?" hannah asked
"im your new practical teacher" rush smiled, young smiled, hinnah smiled and hannah jumped on the spot, clapping her hands, damn she was hyper active
"really! oh my god yay!" she giggled
"hannah sit down" rush said calmly, she stopped jumping and returned to her seat "thankyou" rush smiled
"so what you doing back here anyway?" young asked
"i came to see emmy, and like loads of things happened and here i am" rush explained, flinching at the memory of a week ago
"oh i get it hehe" hinnah giggled, rush glared at her, but he hid it well, i smiled
"so you working here now?" young asked, a glint in his eye that i noticed in hinnahs and hannahs, a glint i did not like
"yep your stuck with me" rush smiled, the 3 smiled way to happily also, i nearly growled "now get on the court and get your stuff ready" rush said seriously, the 3 nodded and ran out the room, slowly followed by rush, then torgal and me, i shut the door behind me, torgal waited with me
"you ok my lord?" torgal asked
"nothing why?" i asked
"you seem annoyed" torgal replied
"ill explain when were are at the court" i sighed, torgal nodded and lead the way to the training court, the training court was the same size as my gardens at the palace, i headed up the stairs and sat in one of the seats, i could see rush, hinnah, hannah and young talking quietly at the other end
"so what is bothering you my lord?" torgal asked, i isghed
"them three" i sighed looking at young, hinnah and hannah, torgal laughed, i glared at him "glad you find me funny" i snarled
"its not that my lord, but your jealousy is un-need" torgal laughed
"how so?" i asked
"the way rush works is when he is with someone he will no longer see any form of attraction to anyone else, he stays 100% loyal to the one he is with, so those who like him dont have a chance as he wont notice them at all" torgal explained
"so i have no reason to worry?" i asked
"not at all my lord not at all" torgal laughed
"but why do they still try?" i asked, torgal sighed
"well hannah is just erm persistant, hinnah really tries not to care and young still loves rush" torgal explained, my jaw popped as it opened
"still?" i asked in shock
"hmmm young and rush went out for about 4 months, rush broke it off for some reason, noone talks about it" torgal explained, oh great
"right hinnah you first" rush chuckled, catching my attention, rush was stood in the middle of the arena, both his sword drawn and in a battle stance, hinnah casually stood across from him her sword drawn, her sword curled and glowed blue "right bring it hinnah" rush taunted, hinnah growled and started with a blue streak, she lunged and rush doged, waked her sword out her hand, tripped her and pinned her in the space of 5 seconds, my jaw flew down
"wow" i said in awe
"i did tell you he was good" torgal chuckled
"nice try hinnah but you need to learn some defence" rush said calmly, hinnah nodded and walked back to the bench "hannah" rush said calmly, hannah nodded and ran onto the field and stood in a defence stand, her sword drawn, it was the same as hinnahs but it glowed red, a colour i didnt really like anymore "you first hannah" rush chuckled, hannah went blank before nodding, she used smash and ended the same as her sister "you hannah need some more attack moves, that smash was far to weak" rush explained, hannah nodded and returned to the bench "young" rush said calmly, i nearly growled again, young stood in a battle stance across from rush "come on" rush smirked
"alright i will" young chuckled before using a crossbreak on rush, it would of got him in the head, i rush hadnt backflipped out of the way
"SPARK 5" rush yelled, sending the move at young, flinging him into a wall, rush ran over, knocked his sword out of his hand and held both of his at his neck "and you need to learn to be less cocky and sure of yourself" rush growled, young nodded and rush released him and went back into the middle of the field, a scowl clear on his face, he motioned the 3 to come forward, they did and stood in a line infront of him "right you 2 sisters need to learn to fight alone aswel as together" rush said calmly, they nodded, he turned to young "and you if you ever want to become a strong fighter you have to stop thinking your the best and noone cant beat you, cos otherwise your gonna get into some extreme tough shit" rush explained to young, glare intact, young nodded sheepishly, rush turned and headed to us
"hes quite good" i admitted
"hmmm wait till you see him fight properly" torgal laughed
"hmmm and i guess rush and young didnt become friend huh?" i asked
"no we didnt" i heard someone add, i turned to see rush sat on the seat beside me, glaring furiously, should i ask?
