prism academy is considered the most prestigious and best institute in both magic and other things, however prism academy's main focus is that it's a sort of military academy, it specializes in all topics but it's main purpose is to create incredible people who could lead the next generation either it be in the army or in politics or in cuisine, or in art.

that's why they were here, in a combat class, listening to the combat instructor's speech, he was a big and broad shouldered man, he had an incredible physic, and he had a booming voice, after he made them go through harsh exercises like 40 laps around the training grounds, and it's a really big training grounds, and 50 push ups and 100 sit ups, he gathered the tired students and started speaking.

"listen here maggots! we will now have duels, and what i mean by duels is i mean battles, you will each pick an opponent to face, and if there is anyone left over!" the instructor trailed off, narrowing his eyes on the students, "they will pair up with me." these words sent a shiver down Arron's spine, he felt sorry for the person who would have to fight him.

"now quickly! pair up now or drop 100 push ups!" the instructor yelled.

the tired students scrambled to pick opponents to fight.

however some already had people in mind to pick, adam made his way through the students before he stood over Regina.

Regina looked up at his smug expression and knew what was about to happen, "Regina pectos, i pick you as my opponent." he smirked.

"i would have to actually agree to fight you no?" Regina smirked.

"that's true, but you would be a coward then." he leaned closer to her smirking at her.

Regina chuckled before she looked straight into his eyes, "i accept." she said her smile widening.

"3! 2! 1! that's enough time whoever still doesn't have an opponent get down and do 100 push up." the instructor yelled and one student fell and started counting up push ups.

"maggots if everyone is ready! get to the arenas!" the instructor yelled, "and before you go if you have a choice of weapons pick some from here!" the instructor yelled and gestured at a large array of weapons on a wooden table, some students walked confidently and immediately picked a weapon for themselves, while others pondered over it, Arron picked a sword, Amanda picked a rapier, mages didn't choose a weapon and instead stayed in their positions and that included evelyn, adam picked dual daggers.

however Regina stood over the table and rubbed her chin in deep thought.

"what? you don't even know what weapon to choose?" adam snickered from the side.

"hm? no, i'm just wondering what weapon i will beat you up with~" regina clapped back which caused adam to grit his teeth.

"Maggot! pick a weapon quickly! i can't have uncertain maggots in my class! if you don't know how to use any of these then drop down and and give me 100 push ups!" he yelled at Regina like a drill instructor.

"no sir! it's not that i don't know how to use a weapon sir!" Regina replied sarcastically speaking like she's a cadet smiling.

"then what is it maggot?!" the instructor yelled at her.

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

"sir! i'm uncertain because i know how to use all of these!" some students gasped at that, usually people stuck to a single weapon sometimes they would pick a secondary or even third, but learning how to use every weapon was a rarity.

this made the instructor pause and he looked at Regina a little impressed, "you're an interesting maggot! here! take this!" the instructor handed her a staff and she took it.

"thank you sir!" Regina yelled in the same sarcastic tone while taking the weapon, she almost burst out laughing at her own behaviour.

she turned and started walking like a soldier, stomping her foot to the ground, the instructor was slightly irked by her behaviour but he didn't lash out at her.

Regina took her position on one side of the arena, and held her staff in front of her, she twirled it a couple of times while adam took his position on the opposite end.

"ready to get your face punched in?" Regina said.

"haha! as if! i bet you won't even be able to scratch me!" adam laughed at her getting ready.

"are both sides ready?!" the instructor yelled, standing in the middle of the arena.

both sides nodded, the instructor started counting down to one and started the fight before leaving to go to another arena.

adam immediately rushed in lunging for her, slashing one of his daggers at her face, regina dodged and attempted a counter attack swiping her staff at his face, adam expected this ducking and stabbing at regina's stomach, Regina redirected his dagger to the side simultaneously moving to his right, she hit his stomach with her staff causing him to stagger back, she took a few steps back distancing herself.

"was that too painful?" regina mocked chuckling to herself.

"haha! you hit hard! looks like you weren't all talk!" adam laughed while taking his stance once more, this time he approached more cautiously, he lunged forward and stabbed with both his daggers, regina dodged to the side, and attacked him hitting his side, but adam didn't care he stabbed with his weapon again, narrowing grazing Regina's cheek, blood leaked down her cheek and she put her hand to her cheek and look at the blood before looking back at adam with a stunned and shocked look.

adam smirked before slashing at her stomach, Regina barely dodged but adam wasn't done, he kicked her stomach sending her flying over and rolling before she came to a halt and stood up, she looked at him her eyes wide, she looked crazy.

she lunged forward launching a series of strikes at adam who dodged all of the save for the last hit which landed on his nose, blood leaked from his nose as he jumped back distancing himself, he put a hand on his nose and and looked at the blood before, he glared at regina.

"fucking hell..." he cursed, both Regina and Adam were incredibly angry.

Regina had enough, she threw her staff to the ground and lunged at adam with her bare hands.

adam as well threw the daggers and pounced for her, Regina punched at his face, but he too the hit and returned with a punch to her stomach, Adam didn't let up he struck again with his foot kicking her stomach, Regina caught his foot and smirked as blood leaked from the cut on her cheek and her nose, she pulled his leg towards her and smashed him to the ground, the floor cracked slightly from the force and the air in adam's lungs emptied.

"bastard!" she cursed at him.

he kicked her leg while still on the ground causing her to fall on her back and he got up, he moved forward and attempted to stomp her but she rolled over and stood up, both were panting heavily, "you piece of trash." Regina insulted him, "fuck you!" he cursed at her as he lunged forward again, none of the two realized there were many students watching the fight now as most of them were done with their duels.

just as they were about to punch each other, they were both stopped by the instructor who appeared there and stopped both of them from at the same time.

"when i said duel, i didn't mean kill each other you fucking maggots!" the instructor cursed at them before he pulled both at the same time and slammed there heads together, they both fell to the ground, rubbing their heads.

"ow..." Regina groaned while adam rubbed his head.

"are you idiots, or are you royal class students?!!" the instructor yelled at them while they were busy rubbing their heads.

"tsk! idiots!" he said one last time before stepping down from the arena leaving both Regina and adam groaning in pain.

"f-fuck..." Adam cursed.

"ow- ow, ow..." regina groaned.

"it's your fault!" Adam yelled at regina, before getting up and walking away leaving Regina on the ground, "it's yours you bastard!" she yelled staying seated on the ground.

she got up afterwards leaving the arena too heading in the opposite directions.
