Jace-Jacque's PoV

Grabbing my elbow I push it behind my head, stretching after all the regeneration has finished "So, is your doctor trying to kill you or something?" Looking to the side at Riley Morales I hum "Maybe. They aren't the doctors who resurrected me - obviously - cause I killed them. But a lot of doctors wanted to experiment on me and I'm assuming a few wanted to kill me because I have what they don't." I explain, watching him nod he taps his jaw as if he was thinking "and your not worried they will kill you? Your weak spot must've been above your waist." He says, laughing I lean down slightly, rolling my right shoulder is circles as I continue to stretch "Now, now Morales. I'm not going to reveal that knowledge because that'd be just plain stupid. My weak spot is right here, but it's also no where. It's over there but it's also over here. Even if it was to blow up with the rest of my body it wouldn't kill me - let me explain it as if... hm... you know when humans get viruses they can come close to facing death, But scientists and doctors discovered if you fight that virus with another virus it'd kill them. Killing the virus with a different bacteria without making yourself more sick. I can only die when my weakness is attacked directly." I explain, watching him think this over I stand properly now "I don't plan on dying anytime soon. So my weakness is only known to me and those doctors buried under that laboratory I was kept in." I smile, my smile innocent whilst also being psychotic.

As Riley walks back over to his friends who are staring in complete and utter shock "You just interact with him like he isn't a complete and utter psychopath. He's the resurrected man. The succession of all experiments never performed on humans before! And your acting as if he's harmless." Juliet shouts as she grabs Riley's shoulders "He isn't threatening. Sure he's a bit odd and acts erratic but he's in this class to become an assassin. We're not his targets. He interests me." Riley responds as he turns to stare at the experiment who's sparing with Leo.

Sprinting through the course I hop over the tree-trunk in front of me, I drop to my stomach when another tree trunk blocks my way, crawling underneath it I continue to sprint through the course, pulling my knife out I drape it in my mouth as the target comes into view.

"Watch closely kids. When an assassin has target-locked on, his bloodlust radiates off of him likes sweat. You all saw how he dodges every single obstacle placed in his way." Leo explains as him, Maria and Lily and the students stand in front of the screen watching Jace complete the obstacle course "This is different from my obstacle course." Layla murmurs, Leo Looking over to her "That's because they are all created to your expertise. Jace's next obstacle will consist of him using his marksmanship to kill the target - for now it's close combat - his preferred speciality." Maria says before Leo can get a chance.

Scanning the area as I sit on a branch a safe distance from the target "Leo wouldn't make it this easy..." I murmur, a glance of something reflecting the sun catching my eye, I move towards it slowly - careful not to make too much of a noise. Staring at the target holding a sniper pointed out of a bush, dropping the knife that was in my mouth Into my hand I stab it through the dummies neck, stabbing its back repeatedly before dashing towards the target in the centre, i channel my strength into the machete I'm holding, moving it in a slice-like movement I jam it into the targets neck, using the knife in my other holster I pierce it straight into the targets chest "Finished." I say loudly - my eyes widening and pupils dilating, I jump to the side as a bullet flies into the dummies head "Long-range." I smirk "Don't assume there aren't any targets watching from a high point." Leo says into the microphone, laughing I lean down "got me there, Teach." I hum.

Leaning against the desk behind all the students crowding Riley who's preparing shakily for his course "You've got this Riley! Use strategy!" The ginger, Lewis Mc'Connol chirps as he pats the smaller males back. Tuning out of their enthusiastic and optimistic words I watch as Riley continues to shake nervously, his face pale, his eyes wider than usual, a bead of sweat trickling down the side of his face. He looked a complete mess. As he walks to approach the entrance to the course I walk in front of him, cocking an eyebrow as he looks up to me "A solo strategy - Never works. Focus on your surroundings and use them to your advantage. I can't guarantee a victory like your pals - but a defeat isn't always bad." I explain, his eyes locked into mine "Ready, Morales." Leo shouts as his hand hovers over the button, I turn and walk back to the desk I was leant on.

Watching as he calmly strides through the buildings, a different scenery from the one I was given. His eyes scanning his surroundings like I told him to, you can see the cogs and gears twisting and turning behind his hazel orbs. Sitting upright now as a round of bullets is set off and Riley dashes to the side to avoid getting shot "A spray. A strategic assassin would need incredible skill to work under pressure of being shot at." I murmur, my brows furrowed as I lean forward "You've barely been in this class a week. Don't underestimate these kids, Yeager." Lily says as she turns to face me I scowl. Watching him grab a trash-can lid he uses it as a mirror "Yes!" I whisper to myself, attracting a few looks from some of his friends "See where the attacks coming from and attack." I mumble.

Watching him look at the weapons on the ground in one of the buildings he escaped into. An assault rifle and an M16 and a Beretta M9. Scowling when he grabs the Beretta and holds it close to his chest. His movements stealthy and slick, in favour of his small and slim stature, he slips from building to building carefully.

The dummies that shot at him earlier are probably set up in a stealth formation - a formation similar to the sniper that took me out in my course. But it's clear Riley already knows that as he creeps around the centre of the arena - watching him pick up a small antique toy, he throws it into the centre from the window "Sensory dummies." I murmur as another round is shot at the toy "Step one foot within the seen radius and he's dead." Looking to the side at Lewis he folds his arms over his chest as he watches carefully.

It was quick and unexpected but as Riley made his way around the radius, he got behind the dummies and shot every single one of them down with the pistol he received. It was lightning flash. Stamina and speed is clearly one of his strong points.

His friends swarmed him like a hive of bees around their queen - so obviously I hadn't the chance to congratulate him on his win and voice my opinion about his strategy and such, but a simple smile was all I gave him - a genuine one too, not one of my psychotic ones I use when I'm teasing my prey.

"A whole school assembly? You know we hate those Sir." The class complain to Leo who shakes his head and raises his hand "It'd be suspicious if we didn't turn up. You may get looked at differently but they have no idea what you are learning. Just attend and don't cause trouble." He says as he gestures for us to follow "Whole school huh... might get to scope out some skulls to crack." I smile innocently, despite my sinful words I stand and walk towards Leo "Psychotic.." I hear someone murmur, smiling even wider now.

Sitting at the back of the room with the rest of my class I lean forward. A majority of the other classes glancing to us with smug smiles and laughing at us. Looking down at a snobby bastard from class B, I grab the back of his collar, pulling him back "Get off me you bottom-class scu-.." He begins but stops as I glare him straight in the eye "I'm assuming all you higher-ups look down on this class because they have bad grades. Answer me honestly or I'll cut that smug smile off of your face." I say sternly and quietly so no-one hears "That's... right.. we higher-classes have extraordinary intelligence... we can't be associated with you..." he responds quietly and shakily, his eyes focused forward trying to ignore my harsh glare "Extraordinary intelligence gets you nowhere when your lying on the ground bleeding out." I smirk, leaning back, I feel Riley hit me "Stop scaring him." He says quietly, laughing I stretch.
