Currency, the first year students were going off against the second years as a means of training to help them improve on their training. Meanwhile, the instructors would watch the matches from one corner, and would give them advice and corrections on what they were doing wrong once the matches were over.Although a lot of what the instructors would say would be hard for the students to grasp. Things such as their form, movements, and even the way they punched or swung their weapons were hard for the students to take corrections of. To them, they were already doing the best they could, but with the instructors constantly hounding them, it would constantly affect the way they fight.Fortunately, that didn't seem to be affecting Kayden at this point, as he was thinking of a way to land a blow on his current opponent. Dodging multiple sword strikes, a lot of which were delivered seemingly out of the blue, was making it difficult for Kayden to even think properly about a way to create an o

Back in the academy, everyone was doing the best they could to get ready for the potential future. Once the last class for the day had come to an end, everyone had decided to head back to their dorm rooms to call it a day. Though there were a few who would still hang around the hallways or would head out towards the canteen to spend their money on snacks.They were pretty much allowed to do whatever they wished, as long as they would make it back to their respective rooms before the time for curfew. Instead of heading back to his room immediately, Kayden decided to head over to the infirmary to check up on Paul's condition.Concerned that he had yet to wake up, there wasn't really much he could do about that since he wasn't sure what was even wrong with him in the first place.Seeing as there wasn't much he could do, he decided that he would just head back to his room for the rest of the day, however, on his way there, he was stopped by Kayla, who told him that she needed his help wit

Standing in place, Kayla had yet to make another move on Kayden. Using this time as an opportunity, Kayden was thinking of a way he could turn the situation around, at least in a way that would allow him to improve from the fight."What are you waiting for? Come at me already!" Kayden yelled, without having a plan in mind. After countlessly thinking about all the possibilities, he decided to just wing it and see how the fight would turn out. At the end of the day, it wasn't really a serious fight or a fight to the death that he would have to worry about.Despite what he had said, Kayla refused to move from her position, pretty much just staring at her hands in awe."This… I like this!" She yelled, charging at Kayden right after. Seeing this, he quickly turned to the side, allowing her to rush right into the wall, creating a loud bang as it collided with the hard surface. 'So powerful, yet so stupid. Now I know how Shawn felt when he went up against Patricia,' he thought, moving furth

"Hey! Have you guys noticed that Kayden and Kayla seem to be hanging out a lot lately?""Yeah? And so? They're both high-ranking students. It only makes sense that they would spend so much time together.""Yeah. Do you think that she would ever both wasting her time with a pathetic low-ranked student like you? In your dreams, fool."The students of the academy were busy talking and interacting with one another. They would usually do this once all the classes for the day comes to an end.A group of students were currently discussing about the recent events of Kayden and Kayla hanging out more with each other. A lot of students were wondering why this was suddenly happening, as they believed that a high-ranking student like her would prefer to be with either the second or third strongest, but instead, she chose to associate herself with the forth strongest student.Some were starting to think that the both of them were a thing, but there was currently no way to confirm whether of not thi

"Hey, Stacy! Class will be starting soon! Hurry up!" A girl yelled, holding tightly a bunch of books in her hand as she hurried towards the classroom. Following closely behind her, Stacy was trying her best to keep up with the girl.Ever since her brother had left for military school, the house hadn't been the same without him. The place seemed a lot more empty and quiet without him around since her father would spend most of his time at work. The only time the two of them would get to meet and catch up on things would be at night when he would come back home.Despite that, they weren't able to talk about a lot of things, since he would usually be tired after a long day at work.It was already after one in the afternoon, meaning that their second break for the day had ended, and they were supposed to be in class around this time. Yet, Maya, her friend, wanted to head to the a certain part of the school to catch up with her lover.Stacy, wondering why they couldn't just meet up after s
