Having a burn was both painful and annoying. Every touch sent small tingles of pain through his body. The good thing was, the blisters were starting to go down, but the skin was still sensitive. Because of this reason, Yoongi was excused from doing physical lessons from the doctor.

Unfortunately, they were starting to learn how to sword fight and Yoongi feared he'd be left behind. So, during the day when the rest of them were training, Yoongi was watching quietly from the shade, observing the moves and techniques. Later at night, he practice with his hands first, then, when his burn was slightly better, started to incorporate his legs into the moves.

He realized that he was actually pretty fucking good at it.

After five days, Yoongi was finally able to join the regular class. The coach had Yoongi practice with one of the weaker members, and Yoongi joyfully found out that the weaker one was Minjae.

"So, you suck huh?" Yoongi smirked at an outraged looking Minjae. They were utilizing wood swords that would hurt when you get hit, but not enough to be cut from it. The purpose was to teach them to dodge more, knowing that pain was on the line.

"Shut up." Minjae hissed, already in fighting stance with the wooden sword held tightly in his fists. "It's not like you're any better. Didn't even get any practice."

Yoongi laughed scornfully and got into his stance, Minjae following his move with beady little eyes. "That's what you think."

Minjae let out a low growl and lunges at him, sword moving to stab him in the shoulder. Yoongi easily side stepped him, and using the flat side of his sword, slapped Minjae in the head, causing him to stumble one way. The people around them sniggered, and Minjae flushed in embarrassment and rage.

He stood up and charged at Yoongi, forgetting all the moves and swinging blindly. He just wanted to see Yoongi in more pain.

"You get mad easily." Yoongi remarked, arching back so the the sword passed neatly over his head. "Is that why you're attacking me now like a blind fish?"

He hears Jungkook and Kai laughing, and he smirks to himself. Minjae seems to have caught his bearings, which made Yoongi disappointed. He had hoped Minjae would've tried hacking at him, and maybe get himself expelled from the competition. Unfortunately it seemed Minjae got a hold of himself.

Minjae charged, and tried to dodge Yoongi's swing, but he failed miserably and the blade whacked him across the face. Yoongi approached a fumbling Minjae on the ground and pointed the sword at his throat. "Is that all a week of sword lessons taught you? I learned more just by imitating your moves with a burn." Minjae gnashed his teeth together as he glared darkly at Yoongi.

The coach let out a clap and called, "alright people, break it up. It's clear to me who the better one was." Yoongi sees Minjae flush, and suppresses the urge to grin broadly.

Jungkook and Kai slap him on the back when he approached, in awe of how good he was even without proper teaching.

"You should've seen Minjae's face." Kai chortled. "He was absolutely livid!" Yoongi grinned, glad he had the chance to show up Minjae for once.

"Seriously though." Yoongi says. "What did he do this entire time?" Jungkook hummed. "Well, for the first two days, he was trying to convince the coach that he was too good for sword fighting, and that if they were King, they didn't need to fight. Suppose Minjae always stayed at home reading or studying or whatever the fuck rich people do."

"Alright everybody!" The coach shouted, garnering everyone's attention. They gathered around in a circle around the man. "I have been watching you spar today, and I am pleased to say some of you caught on very quickly." He gives a nod towards Yoongi's direction, making his wolf howl in pride.

"On the other hand, some of you aren't doing so well." Minjae shuffled his feet, embarrassment clouding his face. He let a grumble under his breath, but the coach didn't hear.

"You will meet here at the same time tomorrow to continue your lessons. Tomorrow, you will receive an announcement about a future event that is happening that is related to this. For now, go wash up, y'all smell like monkeys!" They all laughed at his joke and dispersed to take a shower and get dressed.

"What do you think the event is gonna be?" Jungkook asked, looking excited as he bounced on his feet. "You think we're going to do a test? A sparring match?"

Yoongi chuckled. "Don't get ahead of yourself Kook. They'll tell us tomorrow." Jungkook grumbled at this, but nonetheless fell silent.

In the changing rooms, they quickly took off their sweaty clothes and stepped into the shower, soaping themselves up and scrubbing away the grime that had accumulated during their lesson.

When Yoongi stepped out to dry, he finds that everyone else had left except for Jungkook, Kai, and Minjae.

Yoongi glanced at Minjae wordlessly, who was folding his clothes into his bag. His movements seemed slow, like he was stalling for time. When the last piece of clothing article was placed in his bag, Minjae lifted his eyes to meet Yoongi's, and unreadable expression on his face.

It made Yoongi uneasy.

He then left, the door closing behind him with a bang.

What the hell was that?
