Son of Chaos (REWRITTEN) ✔️

Chapter Seven ~ Let the training begin!

*Sigma's POV*

The next morning at breakfast people were already gossiping about how Nico beat Riley up. Some people looked at us like we were hero's and other looked at us like we were the scum of the earth.

I honestly don't care what they think. They're all beneath us anyways. And maybe you couldn't tell, but I'm in a terrible mood right now.

I was chatting with Luke about possible training exercises when a fuming Annabeth stormed up to the table with the rest of the seven behind her.

"What do you want?" I asked in a bored tone.

"One of your followers best up my fiancé!" she screeched.

"He deserved it." Nico growled, obviously still pissed off.

"Well, he's the leader of Camp, you don't have the right to just come in here like you own the place and beat him up." Leo spoke up.

"Well here's the thing Valdez, I kinda do own 'the place' as you put it. My dad is the ruler of the universe and one day I will take over, therefore I kinda own the place." I retorted.

"W-well you still can't beat people up, aren't you only supposed to beat up bad guys?" Hazel asked.

"He is a bad guy though."

"No he isn't." Annabeth screamed. "He's sweet and kind and a great leader. He never does anything bad, and he loves and accepts everyone!" she sighed wistfully.

"Well wake up and smell the fucking roses because he isn't any of those things." Luke snapped. "He bullies people and thinks he's better then everyone else. He thinks his word is gospel."

"What? No he-he'd never. I don't know what your talking about!" She huffed and crossed her arms in a snotty manner.

"He's an amazing leader. Better then you." Piper glared at us. "Now why don't you just apologize to him and us." Her voice was full of charmspeak.

"Charmspeak doesn't work on us." Silena scoffed. Piper looked at us surprised and then blushed.

"Why don't you just run alone now." Bianca made a shooing motion with her hands at them. Annabeth snorted in an undignified manner, but left anyways. The rest of the seven quickly scurrying behind her like lost puppies.

"What a bitch." Zoë scoffed and took a sip of her smoothie.

"Yeah, no wonder Riley is with her, they're like two peas in a pod." Luke agreed.

I noticed that throughout the whole conversation Will, Charles Ethan were unusually quite.

"Hey why the gloomy faces you three?" I asked in a cheerful manner.

"Nothing, just thinking about what today is." Charles sighed and took a gulp of his coffee.

Oh shit.

Today was Zac's birthday. That's why I felt like I was forgetting something.

Every year on Zac's birthday, we have a small celebration, but due to - ahem - interruptions, I don't think we'll be able to.

"Right," I nodded and took a bite of my food. My already bad mood was getting worse by the minute.

We started getting all the training stuff ready, planning who would go where and how we would get everything together. We decided that Zoë, Luke, and I would train any campers from ages thirteen and up, and campers aged below that would train with the others since they could use the most help.

Soon enough the campers started coming into the arena. When everyone was there I spoke up.

"Listen up everyone!" I shouted, all chatter immediately stopped. "Anyone who is thirteen or older will be with Time Mater, Control Freak, and me. Anyone else will be with the rest of the Elite Team. Got it?"

Nobody said anything, but started shuffling over to their age groups. In about five minutes everyone was in a group and ready to go. Luke, Zoë and I had about fifty people with us, Greeks and Romans. The others had maybe forty kids, also an assortment of Greeks and Romans. The older kids got the left end of the arena, while the younger kids had the right end.

For training, we started with an easy exercise. All they had to do was run from the arena to the Big House two times. Honestly I don't know why they were complaining. It takes like five minutes to walk there, so it should only take them about eight to ten minutes to run there and back twice.

When they finally all finished after twenty minutes they were aloud five minutes of rest time before we started up again. I may be cruel with training, but it's always important to stay rested and hydrated throughout exercising so you don't over exert yourself. After the rest we went straight into training. People doing daggers, swords, etc. paired up with someone else. Anybody doing archery were practicing on moving and still targets. And anybody with a spear could choose to do either of the two, occasionally switching between the two technics.

Luke, Zoë, and I walked around correcting people stances and technics and sometimes making them try a different weapon that might be more suited to them. This session was mostly for us so that we could see what we would need to work on for the future. So far it was mostly stances and giving them new technics since they used the same technics over and over, which got quite predictable after a while.

The only person, that I noticed, who wasn't very predictable or needed much work, was a girl about fifteen. She had her strawberry blond hair tied up in a ponytail and wore a white tank top and those black legging capris. She used a celestial bronze sword and fought a boy using a spear. She seemed okay, but as I watched closer, I noticed that she fought wildly with no plan or calculation at all. You have to be able to think quickly while sword fighting, you can't rely on adrenaline and pure dumb luck to get you through the fight alive.

The girl didn't seem to pay attention to any indications that her opponent was clearly giving off, and so she missed a lot of opportunities to win that fight. That's okay though, not like I had high hopes for anyone here. I just hoped that someone would at least be worth my attention.

A/N
Well here it is, the newest chapter! I hope it's good, I'm super tired and I may or may not have a thing due tomorrow for school that I haven't even started (oops). I also might be getting sick Anyways, before I forget to mention this: Travis and Conner Stoll are in the Chaos Army in the Alpha Team, so they might come around sometimes. Maybe, I don't know.

Anyways, goodbye and have a good rest of the week.
