Sam shook the hand and said, "Sorry i've gotta go. I have theatre in a few minutes. Let's catch up later."

Looking at the schedule, he tried to memorise the time.

Alex put the piece of paper in his pocket and looked at the clock which hanged on top of the kitchen. It showed 12:47 so getting up he placed his tray in a bin and walked to the lawn right outside of the large mansion.

Once outside he looked across the large yard. The field was large as he looked at it. There was flowers everywhere and on one side he saw a small forest.

The sea wasn't covered and was shown. He then saw a tall women getting things ready with some other kids. Alex looked at his wrist but remembered that he had no watch.

Alex then sat down and watched as more and more kids gathered around the lady. Alex then getting up, he moved towards the group and waited patiently.

Once everyone was settled, the tall women spoke, "Hello everyone, we are going to explain what weapons can do."

After a while it the tall lady clasped her hands together and smiled. "Now that that's finished let's do some sparing."

Everyone whispered excitedly.

"Let's wait a few moments as other students can come." After waiting patiently, Alex felt somebody sit next to him. Alex turned his head to see it was Sam.

"Whats up." Sam said and smiled.

Alex responded with a hey and looked back.

"That's Florence if you haven't noticed. She will be your instructor for most of the time." Sam said. Alex nodded to him thanking him.

"Alright now that everyone is here, get into duos and start sparring. Today we are going to be doing fist fighting. If anyone gets injured we have medics nearby to help. Just try no to break any bones." Florence said and took a step back.

Everyone got back up and Alex followed him to a shady spot which was next to the forest. Alex looked back to see Florence looking at him. Alex catching her, turned her head quickly and helped some other kids who were having trouble starting.

"Alright do you know how to get into a fighting position?'' Sam asked.

"Sure I do." Alex said.

"Alright, let's do this. Also sorry if i hurt you too much" Sam smirked getting into fighting position raising his fist's to his face.

Alex smiled at him and did the same. Sam sent a right hook to hits Alex's ear. Alex seeing this coming, intercepted it with his left and punched Sam in the gut.

Sam almost doubled over at the powerful punch but soon got up and took a step back. "What a punch." He said in a bit of a pained voice.

Sam tried to punch Alex in the face again, Alex ducked at this and took a step forward and punched him in the gut again with immense force sending him flying a few feet back.

Alex worried that he punched Sam to hard ran to his side and checked to see if he wasn't choking out any blood. Sam seemed to be knocked out at the amount of pain he caused him. Seeing a trickle coming out of his mouth Alex called out to see if anyone had noticed Sam. Seeing Florence running over with a medic, he moved a bit back and saw the medic call for another one to bring a stretcher. They lifted Sam onto it and quickly ran to the infirmary.

Florence looked at Alex and said, "That was quite impressive to knock him out on the second punch. You seem to know where the right places to punch. No need to worry. There has been worse. He should be up and ready in no time." Florence had said seeing the boy worried that he went to hard on him. "How about while we wait, we practice on each other. This could be really helpful to see what stage you are at, if that fine with you."

Alex looked at Florence and shrugged, "Sure."

"Sorry to ask but what's your name young boy?" Florence asked.

"Alex." Alex answers.

"Alright Alex, shall we start?" She asked.

"Alright." Alex getting into fighting position. He knew he shouldn't underestimate Florence for she looked like she had years of experienced.

Raising her fist, they both waited for one of them to strike first. A crowd has seemed to have formed around them. Alex studied her stance and realized she punched with her right. Alex who was punching with his right switched to his left. Alex saw Florence eyes widened but it reverted back to eyes being real careful. After a minute or two, Alex threw a punch trying to punch the side of her neck.

Florence grabbed his arm, turning real quick and threw Alex over her. Alex landed on his feet and turned around as his left arm was let go.

"Nice landing." was all she said. She sent a jab to his head with her right trying to make it a fake, Alex saw this looked at her left hand which seemed to move toward his face. Alex letting the punch come on impact with the side of the face, a loud crack was heard as Alex's neck was turned quickly making a crack sound.

Alex looking almost unharmed by the punch sent a punch right back at her. He started to move quicker as the fight continued. Both
