First spar

Sarah and Oliver went down the hallway and looked at the papers Oliver had to find her classroom.

"It look's like their combat classes are on the first floor, thankfully. It looks like they're in room V1x8f1."

"Sounds like a complicated thing to remember."

"well if you think about it, the V represents the room type as in a 1v1 room. the number 1 represents how many people the platforms there can hold. The x represents how many there are in a room with a number next to it. Look, the student kitchen has KCH6x2f1."

"Does that mean the F1 represents the floor?"

"Yeah, and it looks like they have these going all the way up. The room is right here to the left though."

"Ok, thank you so much, Oliver."

"No problem, I will be around the school as a combat assistant for now, so just ask for me from a teacher."

"Ok! see you after then."

'They always told us we don't get any heavy help from the royal fortress, and if I am exposed out here, I am on my own with Oliver.'

"I guess I should enter the room."

*click! swish!*

"Hey, you're late! Please take a seat."

"Yes, mam!"

Sarah ran towards the closest seat on the benches that everyone else was sitting at.

"Now that I believe everyone is here, let us do a roll call to let everyone hear our names, and please introduce yourself."

"Sarah Oliver!"

"Here!"

Sarah stood up from her spot and got ready to introduce herself.

"My dad and I have moved here recently to accommodate his job. Before then, he used to teach me everything himself. I am in 10th grade and I am 16 years old."

"Nice to meet you, Miss Oliver. next up is William Dante."

"I am a returning student that moved back here as soon as I passed the educational and combat exams. I am in 10th grade and 16 years old."

"Nice to meet you, William Dante. Next up is Rosalina Derra."

"I am a returning student in 10th grade and I am 17."

"Nice to meet you, you don't mind if I call you Miss Rose."

"Go ahead."

"Thank you, Next up is George Roland."

"I am in 10th grade and 16 years old."

The list of students went on as each student spoke.

Carolina Doe 16 years old

Harry Frank 17 years old

Cecilia W. Frank 17 years old

Terrace Thompson 16 years old

Alice Perez 16 years old

Franca Green 17 years old

Adam Baker 17 years old

Zora Rivera 16 years old

And there were 12 other kids in the class with them.

"We appear to have everyone here. Now we will have you put into squads."

Sarah's two other squad mates were Harry Frank and Zora Rivera.

"you will now get to talk with each other for a short while."

"My name is Zora Rivera, my abilities are healing and body enhancements."

"I'm Harry Frank, I can create very durable metals which I can use to make shields. I can also use kinetic powers to a great degree."

"I am Sarah Oliver. I can create blood, which I can use to make blades or use as a regular liquid. I can also diffuse it to make regular water."

"It seems like we're lucky to have a balanced squad. Sarah can use both ranged and melee attacks while Harry can take on the heavy attacks."

"And you can enhance both of us to improve our qualities."

"I hope we can all get along well."

"We have to."

"Alright, now that you know each other, you will spar each other at these platforms. If you have a weapon or shield, you just ask me and we can get sparing safe equipment for you."

All three of them went to the teacher and asked her for a heavy shield and sword, a medium collapsible shield and a long sword, arm guards, and special shoes.

Shortly afterward they all got their equipment and observed them.

"This equipment will drain the stamina of your opponent to replace the lethality of your weapons. Those with the most wins within their group will get to spar against a soon to be ADTT member Donald William."

"Hello, I am Donald William. I have finished this program 7 years ago, and I have gone up the ranks to be joining the ADTT Special forces unit."

Everyone got to raise their hands and talk to William about a few things before the sparring began.

"If that is all the questions you have then please find yourself a platform to spar and start."

"I will go first."

"I can spar with you then."

Sarah decided she would like to watch the two spar first before she starts.

Zora and Harry got to go first and stand in the small circles where they should to stand.

"Ready? three, two, one, Go!"

Said Sarah.

Harry brought his shield in front of him and stiffened his arm greatly. Zora enhanced her own body to increase her speed and strength. She sprinted in front of him and tried to jump almost over him. He brought his shield upwards to protect himself, but she used her foot to bring herself down and his shield up to get a punch on him. Harry still had his sword and went for an attack but he missed by a hairbreadth.

"That was close!"

"Too bad you had a sword."

Harry deepened his stance and slid towards her sidewards with his shield forward. She tried to get behind him but he slacked his shield behind and turned fully backward with his shield behind him but with his sword in front. He swung his sword, but she dodges and grabbed his wrist and made him drop his sword. He grabbed onto her wrist and slammed her down into the ground as soon as his shield caught up and slammed her down into the ground.

She made a weird noise from the air and saliva escaping from her mouth, but she performed a leg sweep and he fell as his shield was too heavy to dodge it. He fell and lost his shield, but she kicked and launched him a few feet away from her while she was still low towards the ground.

Harry still had his sword as he stood up. They both seemed to have their stamina drained from them, but they weren't ready to give up yet. He became sidewards and fully bent his knees. He then got his word and brought it back and into the air, facing Zora.

He started walking towards Zora while she sprinted towards him. His sword went forwards to her right while she brought back her right foot, her left foot's exposed. He stomped on her foot and punched her just above the chest and brought her off balance then swept her caught foot from beneath her using his foot. She grabbed his hand and threw him over her while she was still falling. She used his body to push herself up again, but he grabbed her head and stood up to throw her over. He then linked his arms over her's and his hands reach for her head and restricted her movement as he forced her head downwards. She was too tired to move, so she gave up.

"Harry wins!"

"Yes!"

"I didn't think you were this good at combat. I won't underestimate you *Gasps* next time."

"Well, I won't go easy on you just because you're a girl because our enemies won't go easy on you."

"I'll get the teacher to get you guys recovered."

Sarah ran to the teacher and asked her to Heal the two kids.

"Sure thing, Miss Oliver."

The two walked over to them and they looked tired and bruised from their earlier fight.

"You two went all out, huh?"

She kneeled down and started healing the two kids, and in no time they fully recovered mentally and physically.

"Jeez Harry, I thought you were going to break my chest."

"Sorry about that."

The two got up and shook each other's hands.

"Alright, the winner shall go against the next person."

"I guess I am next then. I just hope I am ready for this."

"You'll be fine, Sarah."

"You're right, Zora. Thanks for the motivation."

'I need to win this if I want to get a chance with Donald William.'

"Ok, Zora will you do the counting once we get into our spots."

"Yeah, of course. You did it for our match, Sarah."

Sarah and Harry got their things ready and went to their circles. Sarah was anxious as this was the first time-fighting someone her age. She had no idea what to expect yet, but it was her turn to fight.

"Are you ready? Three, Two, One! Fight!"

Just like that, the fight started between Harry and Sarah. She got her sword and shield ready with a cautious advance towards the heavily Shielded Harry.
