The Chronicles of Guertanna: The Sword of Light and Shadow

Chapter II

 Everyone knew about the troublemaker, despicable Kenor Breaker. He studied in the Academy with a mysterious past. No one knew about his family, or what important thing he was doing to stay studying. He kept himself always distant from anyone else, especially from Rinna. They both were the legend of fight competition. Rinna knew him since three years ago, when he joined the Academy as a novice but with pretty effective abilities with his sword.

  During classes, everyone was just waiting what type of challenge was waiting for them to compete. They both were seen as rivals since the very first fight they had at the Battle Class (the class were students are finally able to do duels and fight against each other). Even the teacher knew about these two rivals. It has been six months since he stopped going to the Academy, leaving a scent of peace and calm during those months.

  Rinna stared at him, always wearing a messy uniform that made it so unique on him. The blue cape covered just one shoulder of him, his tie was loosened and his shirt not tugged. His hair matched perfectly with his uniform, it was black, long and messy. She wondered if he ever thought about brushing it in the morning. His crystal gray eyes were practically what really attracted girl; that, and his simple sense of sarcasm. He was handsome, she must admit, but the way this guy talked to others and acted around them was depreciable.

  "Weren't you... expelled from the Academy?" Rinna said lowering her sword.

  Kenor raised a finger while he stood up. "Suspended, my dear, rumors can lead to misunderstandings," He corrected, "I can't afford to be expelled from such wonderful institution." 

  Rinna swung her sword and let it disappear, "Well, then you should stop making trouble."

  He shrugged uninterested, "Come on, Rin, why we always have to be like this?" He said, "I'm the villain and you the heroine," He walked a little, "I'm the shadow and you are the light." He shook his head, "It's a big role what are we showing to the other students, don't you think?"

  She crossed her arms on her chest, "That's what we are displaying, and it wouldn't be that way if you stopped making trouble."

  He hardened his look, "Hm, too much to ask."

  The bells sounded again, which meant classes were already back in track. Kenor just waved his hand to Rinna and walked inside the institute. She stayed there, suddenly so angry to see Kenor in the school again. The days at school were so much better when he wasn't around. She would have stayed there more time if it wasn't for Leyla that came and pulled Rinna inside the building and walked to the locker's room.

  Rinna finally woke up from her wondering and focused on which class she would have next. Her next class was Battle. She sighed in relief to know that she will undo all her fury with some good fight. She put inside the books and notebooks she wasn't going to use (all of them) and abruptly closed the locker angrily.

  "I hate him!" She exclaimed folding her arms.

  Leyla turned to her from the window, "Oh, it has always been like that with you and Breaker," She said grimacing, "Why?"

  Rinna took her time to answer, "He is just all the opposite of me, the way he thinks, the way he solves his problems..." She shook her head, "it's just not right."

  "You both created a legend," Trey commented, "the good and the evil legend of GGA"

  "Ha," Rinna joked, "more than a legend it's a nightmare," She shrugged, "it's like he has the necessity to make trouble with everyone," she paused, "and I have the necessity to stop him."

  Trey put an arm around her neck, "You now have six months in advantage." He smiled.

  She blushed a little and smiled, "I guess you are right... however, I wonder if he has been practicing while he is out?"
