(The picture is of Sam)
Sam POV:
Sam Cortland was silently reading in his apartment when a tall boy, entered the room. "Yes?" Harding cleared his throat, "Arobynn wants to see you and Celaena, but she's already there." Sam swallowed, "thanks, Harding." He got up from where he was laying and made his way to Arobynn's office. Celaena lounged in the chair and smirked as Sam entered. Arrogant assassin, he rolled his eyes and sat down beside her. I have taught you two since you arrived here," Arobynnn said, "but you need to learn more. As of tomorrow, you both will be joining a boarding school in Bellhaven of Fenharrow. I suggest that you think of a new name for yourself, Celaena, as they might recognize you and that will get you expelled. Sam, you do the same. You will return every semester and stay here for two weeks, only to head back there. Do not disappoint me. You may leave unless you have any questions."The blonde-haired assassin picked at her nails, "Bellhaven? Huh, sounds expensive. Does that mean that the students will have Dormitories they share?" Arrobbyn nodded, and Celaena continued, "Well, you only pay for the best, so this will be... interesting." Arrobbyn chuckled. "before you two leave, I want to see you spar against each other. The one who loses gets a punishment. Meet me in the sparring room in ten minutes, make sure you try Celaena. I don't want to see you lose like yesterday." Sam smirked. He had beaten the arrogant little girly yesterday afternoon, using a dagger she hadn't realized he had. Celaena noticed his smirk, and scowled as he whispered on his way out, "pay attention this time." Sam trudged to his room and groaned as he thought of how this school will be. He had been homeschooled most of his life, and then Sam was placed in Arobynn's care when he was 12. Celaena was 11 back then, and she beat his ass in a sparring match without a second of hesitation. Now, however, it just depended on who wanted it more. Sam didn't want to be punished, and Arobynn has some wicked ways of enlisting the only way that nobody will be punished is if the fight ends in a draw. He let out a shaky sigh as he picked out a grey tunic and shorts, and dawdled on his way to the sparring room.

Sam arrived in the room and stood before the table that had all the weapons atop it. An array of knives, daggers, hatchets, swords, you name it, lay on the large table. He weighed and examined the weapons, and eventually settled on an elegant sword.
He was ready to fight.
