Chapter 21

"Jay, are you sure this gonna work?" I stood in the middle of the arena, covering my face from there hot scorching sun. Today, the sun decided to burn me alive, or maybe I wasn't use to training out here. Nope, it's probably just the sun.

Ryder decided to practice in the main arena instead of the underground one. At least no more stairs.

I've been training hand-to-hand combat with Jay and throwing daggers with Ryder. I've fight with them many times and it's quite obvious on who winning them.

"Don't worry, I'm 100% sure this will." Jay said as he took a seat next to his best friend. Seline was next to Ryder, clinging onto his arms. Instead of her black and white maid dress, she wore a red top and shorts. I guess it's her day off.

They said that she was the best female fighter among the others. They said she won many fights and battles, but nobody knows why she quit the army and became the castle maid. That's what they said.

I kicked the ground, forming a cloud of sand. Are all arenas this sandy? I coughed and fanned the sand away as I could hear a snickered from Seline. I send her a glared and she just rolled her eyes.

"Don't worry, this men aren't the best but their strong, so watch out, just don't kill them!" Jay shouted and he pressed a button km his controller, opening the gates in front of me, revealing three tall men.

Two carried swords in their arms, feathery wings stuck out from their back. Their armor and weapons were completely identical, and so was their looks. The other man had a long messy beard, in his right hand, he carried a long sharp axe that reflected the light from the sun. I had practiced many times with Jay and Ryder, but not with soldiers from the army.

"Start!" Ryder shouted from afar. The man in the long beard ran towards me swinging his axe. The ace was large so I could tell approximately where it would land. I managed to dodged and jumped on the axe, running up his arm and kicking him in his face. The man stumbled back and fell. "Sorry!" I blurted out as I turned my attention towards the twins. As expected, their wings opened in the same time and flew up. This was easier than I thought it would be.

They shoot right down like rockets, aiming their swords at me, but their not the only ones who have speed as their power. I waited for them to come as close as possible and jumped up. They crashed down onto the ground. I could feel the air rushing by my ear, the strong wind hitting against my face. I looked down, the man in the beard was chasing me, he jumped up and was just a meters away. I studied his powers and a smirk spread across my face. His axe was the one dragging him down. He dropped his axe and pulled out a small sword and tried to stab me. Just to remind you, we were still in the air, and we're falling.

After all the free falling training with Ryder, it finally paid off. I kicked him and stepped on his back, pushing him down, I jumped up, higher. He fell on the ground with a loud thud and clouds of sand rose around him. I landed on him and bowed, a smile on my face.

"Any more?" I stepped down, helping the man up. The three went out of the arena and continued to whatever they were doing.

"Yeah, of course." Jay said with a smirk.

A few hours passed by, each button he pressed, the fight got more and more intensed and hard. I had many near deaths but managed to beat most of them. Most of them.

I stood there, sweating. I went over to my dagger that was stick against the wall and pulled them out. I had pinned my previous fight. "Is that all?" I asked Jay. He nodded and got up, followed by Ryder.
"Wait!" everybody's reaction turned to the brown haired girl. She stood up and stretched, opening her wings, she flew towards me. Cracking her knuckles, she smirked, "Fight me."
