LIFE Academy Rewrite/Au. (In Progress.)

Chapter 4

Ryan packed up his things as it was a few minutes before the bell was going to ring, he spoke to Tori about a story of him and his mom and how he got expelled from the previous high school he used to go to. "And that's how I got expelled."

"That's....some phony story! Right...?"

     "No that is, not a fake story babe. I got kicked out because I fought someone." He said in a monotone voice. Ryan a while back in his first year of the month in his old high school, got into a fight. It all started with a student making fun of him for being poor. And saying that, "No wonder your dad left you! Your mom is so fat! And you're a disappointment!" After the student said that Ryan attacked the kid biting his arm hard.

Tori awkwardly laughed as she realized he was being serious about it. "Wow. You could've chosen to not fight the guy- And well, you did. Though well- You were 15 Ryan. A raging hormonal teenager." She said with a small smile. "And I still am!" He said jokingly at her in an overly chipper voice to elate the mood. She laughed at him, "I swear you are something, Ryan!" She said to him, and the bell then rang, "Oh, looks like it is me and the other's cue to go, I will see you later, okay?"

     "Okay, Tori, see you!"

     "Be careful Ryan, have fun!" She said, waving goodbye to him as she left. Ryan does love her, and she loves him. He's happy to have someone like her. "Bye, Ryan! Good luck with Mr. Victor!" Matt told Ryan with a supportive attitude as he walked down the stairs. The others walked with Matt as they said bye to Ryan, Aaron then stopped to speak with Ryan. "Ryan. Watch out for his weaknesses. We don't know what he's capable of." He told Ryan. Ryan gave a slight look of surprise. Why is he telling him this now? He could have done this at any other time but now? "What? Why? Victor is harmless! I mean- he has a therapy dog named CONCRETE."

"Just because he doesn't act harmless doesn't mean he is." Aaron sighed, "Just watch your back, Ryan." Before Ryan could speak Aaron was already down the stairs, he couldn't understand why people disliked him so much. Maybe it was something he couldn't see; he was like his mother sometimes. Too forgiving of others, which caused a lot of issues from time to time. Ryan walked down to his teacher Victor, and then spoke to him, wondering where they were going to train. "Hey, Mr. Victor? Where are we going to train?"

"Well, we will train near the fields of the new sparring area. It should work for today!" New training area? That's new. Ryan thought to himself. "OH, OK! So, are we going right now, or do you have some stuff you need to finish up?"

"I just need to grab my bag, and we will be on our way." He walked over to his desk to grab his stuff, he then walked back over to Ryan. "Okay, let's go." He smiled at Ryan ready to train. They are in the training area, Ryan is putting on some training tape on his arms, and hands. "Aren't you going to get ready to spar?"

"Oh well, yes. But I'm going to see how well you can attack these mannequins, here." He hauled out an old mannequin, picked it up, walked over to Ryan, and positioned it in front of him. "Hit it." He pointed at it, "Hard as you can, I need to see how well you fight." He told Ryan. "Oh, sure thing," Ryan then activated his rune, but Victor said something before he could land a throw at it. "No runes on. Should've specified that." Ryan puts his hand down mid-punch with fire on it. He then deactivated it. "Why can't I use it?"

"Well, from current research lately, when the rune is on adrenaline is rushed through a lot. It can cause health issues if left for a long time, kind of like how you can faint or die even if you push through your rune's limits." Ryan looked at his scarred fingertips that weren't wrapped in tape. "I didn't know that..." His brows furrowed together as he stared at them. "Well, runes are still being researched, especially rare ones. I think with some you can fly but it depends on which rune it is. I would've explained this during a lesson in class, but it would be good for you to know early."
