As time passed, I got better and better, not good enough to beat him but every little moment I could get the sword just a little close to him I was proud inside. From all those times observing him, I had noticed that he always moved his knee for a split second just before it would strike. I had found a way to use this against him. I don't know how but it had worked here he was on the ground right in front of me. I held my sword away from his face and held out my hand. "Another round?"

He began to laugh whereupon he grabbed my hand and pulled me down with him. Now we were both lying on the ground laughing. It was only when I lay beside him that I first saw how beautiful and serene those eyes of his were. The setting sun was shining through a perfect angle into his eyes which gave his eyes a gleeful shimmer. while I was drifting away in my thoughts, I didn't realize we were both lying there staring, it was still. Abruptly he stood up and said: "let's wrap it up for today" Whereupon he packed his things and left. that night I didn't see him again in our room. He had not come back in the evening to sleep.

The following day when I finished my classes I went to the fighting arena as always. There I found Hunter already fighting the young adult from the test I took on my first day at the academy. I have come to know him over my time at the academy by the name of Owen. Which means young noble fighter. And that suits him very well. He' s one of the best fighters currently at the academy. He already graduated but has never been bought by a gang because the school won't allow him to be bought. Hunter saw me in the corner of his eye to whereupon he said, "I will train with Owen from now he can teach me new things and make me better, you are holding my progress back." He was right too, so I turned around and brought my fighting gear to my dorm room and left for the library to study.
