Chapter 25: WEAPON CLASS

Cleo

"In this world even though we can use powers there is always a limit of using it. Your powers could be very fatal if you use it pass it limits and abusively. So thats where weapon and combat class comes in, even though without power you can easily fight back more efficiency without any worries of passing the limit. For now we will just only focus on weapons so grab your preferred weapons and test it if it is suitable for you" Madame Petra announced as we were gathered in this very huge room, maybe a training room.

"Also, Prince Daniel here will be joining on this class, His power trainings are all confidential but the weapon and combat trainings is a different case so he really need to you all and have a formal training together with you" She added, I didn't notice that the prince is now in front beside Madame Petra smiling politely yet still full of authority.

I awkwardly look at the prince and immediately turn my gaze elsewhere the moment he also look back. I can't look at him directly not to mention that he is a prince but also I always remember that he is the one carried me to the healers room.

Madame Petra nob while looking at us "you may now all start picking your weapons and I will just walk around to each one of you to see what level you are in handling a weapon, how improve you are, or what will still be needed to improve"

My classmates scatter to the long tables on each side where weapons are in. Ree grab my hands and bring me to the right side table where blades, daggers, sword and many kinds of weapons that I didn't know what it is called are in.

Renz and Yna just casually tail us behind and start assessing the weapons as well as Ree because she finally let go of my hands and busied herself in looking the sharp weapons.

I did not see Ymir on this side so I start looking at him then there I see him on the opposite side wandering on his own while looking on a particular weapon that I didn't really know what it is called. I think all of the students really know how to use weapon or at least had an experience to use and handle one except for me.

I looked at them jealously as they start picking there weapon, I also think even Vixen on the opposite side knows how to use one because she keeps picking and assessing the weapons. And then here I am nailed on one side as I look at them choose there weapons and start testing it.

" Hey Cleo what did you choose?" Ree said as she moved in front of me blocking my view while holding a thin long sword, I guess she already choose one.

Ree immediately notice that I didn't even try to look for a weapon and how uneasy I am. "Ohh ... I almost forgot you did not have any experience using a weapon did you?"

I slowly nob "aws thats sort of a problem you really need to double your efforts because each one of us already know the basics in using a weapon or even some already mastered handling it." Ree said looking at me sadly.

"But you can do it! There is so much time left until the tournament by that time I think you will know how to handle one. For now just choose a weapon and test it try assessing one that is most suitable for you" She said trying lighten up my spirit. But a tournament? Hmm maybe I will just ask her on the dorm.

"Okay, thanks Ree" I said and pat her shoulders and start walking around to look for a weapon.

I had this particular weapon in mind that I really want to try since I was younger.  I think this weapon will be the most suitable for me.

I cross the room to the opposite side where different kind of bow and arrows are hanging on the wall.

I start checking each one sometimes picking and testing it by pulling the string and imitating the stance just like what I see on TV's.

A particular bow caught my attention. Though it is just a wooden bow it seems sturdy and also what caught my attention is the rose that is carefully engraved in the middle of it and a vines of leaves that are carved from the sides to the middle where the rose is.

The moment I pick it there is also a hand who grab it from the other end.

I turn my head to look who it is and immediately let go of the bow the moment I see who is the person who also grab the bow.

There a gorgeous dark head man as dark and black as my hair is now standing while holding the bow and staring at my eyes intently. The Prince

"Oh-h I-i ahmm you want that? Its okay its all your I will jus-t get another one"  I stammered and immediately turn my back to start my escape.

Before even I step a foot he grab my wrist immediately to stop me "wait!" I slowly turn towards him and look at him questioningly.

He open his mount to say something but decided not to continue instead he handed me the bow and give me a cheeky smile "here, this is all yours I just want to see the pattern of it up close but I didn't plan to steal it from you besides I already pick my bow" true to his words I notice that there is indeed a bow hanging on his back.

"Ohh" the only word I was able to said before accepting the bow that he handed.

He is still smiling as he look at me inspecting the bow , somehow those cheeky smiles reminded me of someone but I can't remember where or who?

" I'm Clint by the way" he suddenly said that my attention immediately divert to him.

"You don't need to introduced yourself to me, you are quite popular you know Prince Daniel Clint" I said smiling awkwardly, I can't believe a Prince like him just introduce himself as if he is not aware that he is already known throughout the academy.

"Ohh is that so? But I prefer for you to call me Clint"

"Ahm But your a Prince I can't possibly just call you Clint" his eyes twinkled in amusement by my sudden stubbornness.

" Even though, I just want you to call me Clint"

"No your highness thats too unrespectful especially for me a mere student from mortal world yet will just call you casually"

"Please ..." I was shock when he look at me with those eyes that is trying to imitate a puppy eyes.

I can't help myself but laugh at his tricks though it was quite cute but it is not really suitable for him not that he is too manly to do so. It would look trying too hard

He pouted as if a sulking child, I almost forgot how awkward I am to him moments ago, now I just feel too comfortable with him.

I try to suppress my laugh " fine, Prince Clint"

"there is still a prince"

"Well Prince Clint I can't really do anything about it its your tittle" I smiled teasingly

"If only I can make you call me linlin, maybe you can remember something" he whispered too silently that only heard the linlin word.

"Huh?" I pretended to did not heard a word at all. The linlin word somewhat bogging me

"Ohh nothing, Prince Clint then. but in condition" he said smiling playfully

I look at him in doubt, what is this little prince up to? I can't possibly turn him down immediately right? Might as well hear him put then decided.

"Hmm what is it?"

His smile grow wider "Lets be friends"
