Divinity |Percy Jackson|

.10.

2 weeks had passed since Antony had first laid step on the grounds of New Olympus. 

2 weeks. 

That sounded like a long time, but in real, 2 weeks passed like a blink. 

New Olympus was a pocket dimension world. A world that shouldn't exist, but stands to violate all laws of Nature. This world was a different degree of weird. Huge trees grew in rooms, closet doors led to to vast swimming pools which were actually oceans, some rooms seemed to have no ceilings, even though there were floors on top of that. Everything there seemed to be like an illusion. Every step inside was a challenge. All sorts of trials faced people who took the wrong step or made a wrong move.

The whole building was crazy. However on stepping out of the building, it was a whole different world outside. Clear green grass on one side, while a huge lake on the other side below a tall waterfall. Across the grasslands, just before the forest line started, was the training zone. It was where all the legacies trained in all kinds of combats, hand to hand, swords, spears, mace, hammer, axe, archery and everything. 

"You need to get better at dodging, and faster." Mira instructed while tackling Antony and putting him to the ground. Mira was Antony's instructor. After 4 days of trying out various weapons and powers, which included a lot of clumsiness and weird awkward moments, it was found that Antony was a new level of awesome with a crossbow. After 1 week of continuous training, Antony could shoot down around 18 targets in 1 minute, at least as long as those targets were still.

"Let's do this again." Saying that, Mira pulled up Antony and went back a few steps. Antony reloaded his crossbow and pointed it at Mira. 

"You ready?" She asked. Antony went through all the details in his mind again. With Mira's high speed rush at Antony, he only got time for a handful of 4 shots at her, 5 if lucky. He needed just 1 proper shot at Mira. 

Antony nodded to give the signal. Mira rushed at him at fast speed. Antony shot the first arrow while taking steps back. Mira sliced through the flying arrow with her dagger. The next arrow- she blocked it with her wrist shield; the third one she dodged, and the fourth arrow nicked passed her ear. 

Then Mira was back again pinning Antony to the ground. 

"Dead again."

"I want a break."

"Your enemies won't take a break."

"Please."

"Your pleases won't win over the enemies."

"What about you?"

"Fine, we will continue in the afternoon."

"Thanks a lot. "

Antony managed to remain standing as he went to grab a coffee after 4 hours of continuous training. Apparently this school even had a Starbucks in the 2nd floor. There he met with Axel Klein. The mechanical genius of the school, and head counsellor. In his hands were a couple of circuits and wires everywhere. Antony went and sat beside Axel. 

"What's up?" Axel asked without taking his eyes off the circuits. 

"4 hours of Mira." 

Axel nodded sympathetically while keeping his focus on the circuit boards on his hands. 

"What are you trying to make?" Antony asked out of curiosity. 

"Just trying to get this dumb motherboard to work properly. I'm making adjustments to Festus."

Festus was the giant dragon protector of this school. Once ever week the students are put in battle against the dragon. It was 'Physical Education', as it included a LOT of running, jumping and stuff that people do when they want to survive. Last time I lasted 12 minutes in the arena before the dragon blew hot fire in my back. It took 2 days in the medical ward to cool it off.
