14 Professor Swords Class

Waking up on the bed Cameron lazily stretches before getting up. Looking down at his clothes still covered with patches of dried blood Cameron quickly changes his clothes for another set from his pack.

Glancing towards his pack where he normally keeps his longsword Cameron says "Gonna need to find a new weapon, but its nice to wake up somewhere safe for once. I can finally take a break from all the fighting."

Walking into the hallway Cameron sees the other students scrambling everywhere getting ready for school. Walking down the stairs Cameron notices the steps creaking from all the students walking down them. Reaching the bottom floor he glances towards the reception but no ones is sitting behind the counter.

"Must be at the class already, although its location was strange. Why have classes at the training grounds with the dummies, even if it is a combat class the first day should be teaching technics right?" Cameron mutters to himself before walking out of the building.

After a few minutes of walking Cameron reaches the training grounds to find Professor Sword standing on an empty platform with a small crowd of about twenty students surrounding him. Seeing Cameron approach Professor Sword says "good you're all here now we can get started."

At this some of the students murmur to each other expectingly. "Well what are you waiting for lets begin!" Professor Sword says holding short sword in his left hand with his right behind his back.

Shrugging Cameron jumps onto the stage looking around for a weapon. Seeing an identical short sword as the Professors sitting on the ground he picked up the weapon and drew the blade from its sheath.

Laughing with delight Professor Sword says "Well done! You actually dared to challenge me, your accepted into the class. Now for the rest of you lot." Pointing with his blade towards the surrounding students. "I only accept one student at a time, all you need to do is beat him" gesturing towards Cameron "and you can become my student. Lets say one hour time limit, after that whoever is last man standing will become my student."

Gripping the short sword handle tightly Cameron glances around looking at the other students. One particularly large student holding a massive two handed broadsword hopped on stage. Looking down at his blade only a third the length of the other mans Cameron rushes forward trying to close the distance.

Seeing his Cameron's movement he prepared himself holding his sword in a defensive position in front of him. Swinging his blade as hard as he could in an overhead arc Cameron swings at the mans head. Seeing Cameron's movement the man swings his sword heavily clashing with Cameron's blade nocking it flying.

Ignoring both blades Cameron closed in and punched the man in the stomach as hard as he could. The man his breath nocked out of him stumbled backwards to the edge of the platform. Focusing for a moment Cameron's eyes flashed green as a blast of wind shoots from his arms to hit him squarely in the chest nocking him off the stage.

Seeing the magic protests ring out from the crowd.

"This is a combat class magic has no place here!"

"Abusing your magic becuase your sword skills aren't up to par!"

"Professor Sword will definitely disqualify him for cheating!"

Seeing their reaction's Professor Sword just laughs from his place standing at the side of the stage before saying. "I never said it was limited to swordplay did I? Heck, if you guys have magic no ones stopping you from bombarding him with it. After all in a real fight people aren't gonna limit themselves to only one weapon for you."

Picking the massive broadsword off of the ground Cameron stands to face the crowd. "Who's next?"

Out from the crowd steps a pair of twins each wielding pairs of short swords. Identical looking the only thing to differentiate the two are bracelets worn by them. One a pulsating red crystal flashes on the other a blue gem glows softly. Jumping on stage together they turn and bow to Professor Sword before facing Cameron.

Their bracelets glowing sharper colors contrasting with each other elements begin to converge on their blades. Flaming swords for one and ice blades around the other.

Waiting no longer Cameron charges forward with a boost of wind and slashes out in a wide arc towards the pair. Blocking the blade together the five swords clash in a resounding boom ending in a stalemate of weapons locked together.

Before the two can take any actions Cameron's eyes glow a bright green as a blast of wind hurtles into the twins sending them flying through the air. The crowd scatters as the two land heavily on the dirt.

Breathing heavily his eyes still glowing a sharp green light Cameron turns again to face the agitated crowd before repeating his question. "Who's next?"

Looking at each other no ones seems to want to be the first person going up. After several seconds, Cameron seeing no one challenging him turns to face Professor Sword. "Since they aren't attacking how about we fight, your the best one here anyways."

"Sounds like fun!" Professor Sword answers with a grin on his face.
