Hooked to a Hood

Fencing

Rosa was known to be similar to her father: a leader, a fighter, a protector but there is one thing she like to add, a rule-breaker.

When Rosa checked her schedule, she was confused to see that there was none of her subjects contained the sports she mastered in Nottingham, so she decided to investigate herself. She followed Matty and JJ in her fencing suit and snuck into the fencing room without being seen.

"Alright!" a man called out. "We have two new boys with us so let's give them a little Merlin Prep taste of our fencing."

The room echoed with the sound of clashing swords as the team assembled, the man commanded with sharpness and precision. "Assembler. Salute. Lower the point. Masks down. En garde."

Swords clash with one another as the coach gave the male students tips as he fought with his students.

Rosa jumped into the arena with her mask covering her face and hair as she held her stance ready.

"Get 'im, Coach!"

Her sword clashes with the coach's before swinging her leg centimetres away from the coach's face, making the other fencers back away. The coach dodged Rosa's new attacks and hurled over to the other side of the arena, opposite to Rosa.

"This is practice." The coach reasoned as Rosa charged before backing away to dodge the coach's attacks. Their swords clashed again, pushing them towards each other before backing away. Their battle seemed like forever until Rosa disarmed the coach by grabbing his sword, finishing the battle by holding them out ready to attack.

The winner held the coach's sword to him as he kicked it to himself and she revealed her identity, shocking everyone including Matty for a different reason.

"Not bad." The coach said, clearly impressed by Rosa's skill as she took a bow.

"Yes, yes. I'm the best, just say the word and I'll be happy to join." Rosa suggested as she combed her hair with her fingers.

"Absolutely not!" Matty stepped in. "M put you down to join the princesses for a reason otherwise he would've known to put you in fencing."

"I was aware of that, but I don't see why it isn't legal for a girl to do sports men do." Rosa replied. "So, I decided to take things into my own hands by competing with the coach and win which I did! I don't see why I shouldn't join the team."

"Sis, listen to me. I was trusted to make sure you don't get into trouble, and this doesn't help. So, you are going back to join the other princesses and follow the rules." Matty ordered.

"Oh, don't be such a goody-too-shoes!" Rosa scowled. "I don't see the danger in breaking a few minor rules of the school. I learnt fencing as long as you have, and I do not tend to do finish it just because I am a girl."

"You were sent here to fulfil your achievements and stay out of trouble."

"And my destined achievement is to prove that women can do things men can do, so no brother, I am not leaving."

"You are."

"Not."

"Are."

"Not!"

"Are! And that's final!"

"Father would not be pleased-"

"We'll see about that when we face mother!"

"Enough!" JJ separated the twins as they glared at each other with pure anger. "Matty, can't you see how you are not acting like yourself, and I agree that she deserves to join our lessons but Rosa, Matty is also right about the rules."
