I'm Courting Death

Chapter 3

Louise and Samantha were both listening to the lecture today. Say was perched atop Samantha's desk, appearing to be listening during the lesson.

One week had passed since the incident at the garden. Samantha abruptly woke up from her dream before searching for the person who had briskly said that he was the owner of the little black cat.

She hadn't experienced a sleepwalking episode in a week, which is unusual for her.

"Next time, we will have another topic. Class dismissed." The professor ended his class.

" What do you want to eat today, Sam?" Louise asked while putting her things in her bag.

"Pasta maybe and strawberry smoothie. You?" Samantha asked back as she slowly stood up and fixed her chair and table.

"Maybe just my usual favorite sandwich and a cola." Before they could leave the room, a crowd of people blocked their path as they started to take the path of the canteen.

" Isn't it the sleepwalker and the beast?" Celine began, with her minions agitated. They laughed in mockery.

"Isnt it Groo and her minions?" Louise responded, mockingly glancing in their direction.

After Louise blurted out her statement, the group's expressions were terrible. Louise interrupted them, though, before they could react.

" Oh, I don't have time to some ugly ducklings. Let's go, Sam". Louise immediately drag Samantha away from the ugly group.

"That was a little mean, Lou" Samantha made a small laugh while they were sprinting. They slowly began to walk after realizing they were a long way from those girls.

" Correction, my friend. It was so mean not just a little." Louise said evily with her remarks. She just thought that they just served their own medicine.

They each placed their orders and sat down to dine. After some time, they went to the gym's locker area to change into their combat suits instead of their uniforms.

They will have combat training today. After getting dressed, they sat down at the benches to wait for their professor.

The girls saw their classmates were avidly whispering while they waited.

"The prince and princesses of the different Kingdom will be joining the academy."

"It will be our first time seeing their faces after they trained on seclusion"

"I bet that they are all breathtakingly handsome and gorgeous"

Until their professor arrived, they all kept up their conversation with one another. To greet and show respect, all students simultaneously rose up and bowed. This practice is always carried out prior to a lecturer discussing or instructing students.

"You may all sit down. Today, we will be focusing in stregthening your weaknesses. All combat type mages will be focusing in enhancing their range attacks while range mages will be focusing to enhance their close combat. " The gym was converted into a battle arena when the professor pressed a button on his remote. He began to clone himself to greatly monitor the student's performance.

" Make two lines and we will start now." Each student is working hard to improve their close- and long-range attacks.

The training for close combat is taking place on the red corner. It's a one-on-one battle with a fellow student who likewise needs to improve close combat.

The range attack training is going on in the blue corner. The gymnasium has three targets, but the students were working on various cubicles, so it was by three. Their target is not just far away and ready to be fired; after a student hit the bullseye, it changed into a moving thing, and they must shoot the moving target to improve accuracy and precision.
