I woke up in a dark room. Unaware of my surroundings.
"Im dead I'm dead I'm totally dead."
"Luckily you aren't idiot"
"Who are you" I said sitting up.
"I'm the man who saved you Idiot"
As the memories came flooding back I remembered why I was there in the first place.
"Oh thanks"
"I'm lionel langfoster"
"Uhh wait thee lionel langfoster"
"You know of me" he asked curiously
"Wow! I have a book of yours with me right now!" She said happy
"You...read my books" he asked in doubt that a kid could even have interest in his books.
"Yes I always wanted to practice swordsmanship so I don't die" she said without realizing what she said
"So you don't die" he said laughing it off.
"Uhh yeah..." she said nervously laughing
"So are you really a fan of me?"
He asked scoffing
"Uhm fighting ogres 101,the battle field,quagmires,dragons,fighting skills 101,and more" she said naming his books proudly.
"Oh so you're serious" he said as he heard her stomach rumble
"Your hungry right? My cooks just made some stew or whatever so if you want it get up and get some" he said not trying to sound nice
"Thanks! But can you sign my book before I leave!" She said interested
"So you're going back home" he said
"Uh I'm a orphan Remember" she said
"Whatever you say" he said helping her to the dinner table.
"You must be rich" she said looking around at the nicely cleaned house.
......
"Thanks for the stew" I said thanking lionel
"Whatever kid be safe" he said look hesitant
"Can you sign my book?" She handed him the sword training book.
"How about...I teach you?" He asked
"Really? You would teach me yourself?!" She asked excitedly
"Of course not!" He said laughing as if it was obvious
"I'm confused" she said
"Your gonna train with some men that I train if you could get ahead of them then you'll be training directly under me" he said laughing
"Oh well then I'll beat them all including you!" She said determined
"Yeah kid sure after you heal which you did heal basically on your own already you can start"he said
"Oh right I'm arealia" she said hoping he would use her name.
"Good to know kid" he said getting up and going somewhere
"Miss,should I escort you back to your room" a maid said smiling
I then decided to run if she went back with me she would've probably been like bethany and hit me.
So I went in the room he gave me which was spacious and pretty nice if I do say so myself.
......
It had been a week and it was my first day of training I was going to be training with Lionel's weakest soldier he said.
"Hey kid I'm Landon your instructor" he said boasting himself
"Uhh okay I'm arealia" I said monotone
"Well I'm going to be your sensei and don't think it's going to be easy, I will teach you fighting,swordsmanship,and magic. He said smiling
"Alright I'll be in your care Landon sensei" I said bowing
"Uhh yeah anyways let's start with some warm ups" he said
.....
"How are you still r-running" Landon sensei said breathing hard.
"Come on Landon sensei it's not that hard" I ran really fast since I had to fight for my life all the time.
"W-wait arealia" he said huffing and puffing.
"Senseiiii" I said wanting to finish running
"Well...well if it isn't Landon" a guy said with two guys behind him.
"Yeah he got himself a protégé and thinks he's hot stuff" said the second guy
"I-uh no that's not it" Landon said scaredly
I felt like I had to do something so I stepped in because he reminded me of myself.
"What's going on here sensei" I asked knowing I already know
"U-uh nothing arealia just run go back so they don't get you too" he said grabbing on my sleeve like a helpless baby.
"Grow some balls I whispered to him" angrily
"Hey! Bad words aren't tolerated!" He said
"Now listen if you keep picking on my sensei you won't see the end of it" I said
"Just because your Lionel's little pet or whatever dosent mean he'll actually help you" said the first guy
"I don't need Lionel's help or do I?" I said questiongly
"What are you gonna be a little snitch punk" he said pushing me.
"Fine you want to go. 1v1 me right now! Brat" I said loudly
"Naurr" said sensei Landon trying to hold me back
"SENSEI let me go just watch" I said getting ready.
"Are there any rules" I asked
"There's none unless you want to add one" he said
"I do want to add one No interference" I said
"If without further or do let's fight brat" he said chuckling
"It amuses me how you're so excited to fight a 9 year old" I said trying distract him from what I was doing.
I was making signs for a water mirage and running quickly so he couldn't guess the real me.
"What is this?!" He asked confused seeing clones of me around him.
He pulled out his sword and ran towards them trying to slash but they ducked and wrapped around him.
"Bondage!" I shouted as the water turned to ice and he fell over.
"Stop this isn't fair you cheated somehow" he said.
I walked to him with a smile creeping up my face. "Haha" I said laughing evilly
"I'm not the hero in this story I'm the villain" I said stomping on his chest.
"You win let me out of this! I'm cold!" He said teeth chattering.
"Then leave my sensei alone jerk!"I screamed I hadn't know sensei Landon long but he made me think of myself being bullied for being weak.
"Okay..okay I will" he said
And after they left running to tell lionel on us. I had to make sure sensei was okay.
"Are you okay Landon sensei?!" I asked worried.
"Arealia! I'm fine but what about you!" He said bringing me into a hug.
And then I felt it that captivating feeling I haven't felt in a while.
"Badump badump" my heart was racing at his touch,is this love I asked myself"
......
We arrived and completed the rest of our training but sadly I was stronger than landon sensei.
I had seen my appearance in the mirror and I was beautiful like really but besides that.
So the next day didn't go to well.
"I can't train you anymore" he said
"It's only been a day!" I said
"Your stronger so someone else must train you" he said putting his hand on my shoulder
"No landon sensei please don't leave me" I said like a distressed maiden
"We can still see eachother but...I can't if anything you should be training me" he said
"Oh landon sensei you'll always be the strongest man to me" I said hugging him
"Thanks arealia..oh there's your new trainer now" he said happily
"Hey landon" said a handsome looking guy.
"Hey neito here's your new protégé arealia" landon sensei said
"Hi arealia I'm gonna be your new sensei just call me neito sensei" he said smiling
"Okay neito can we get started" arealia asked determined
"Uhh yes follow me to the training grounds" he said slightly sad because she didn't say sensei.
We walked through some gates and I saw a lot of people all looking like teenagers and adults.
"Neito is that your new student" a girl asked.
"Yes she is her name is arealia bla bla bla" as they talked I looked at the guy I beat up yesterday.
"Hey!" I shouted and waved. They could be forgiven I thought
They turned around and saw me waving and looked shocked before waving back.
"Arealia come on we have work to do let's start by running 5 laps around the whole circle no breaks" he said sternly
"Yes sir!" I said running off to do these 5 laps.
Then I saw some other kids running that looked older than me so I caught up to them.
"Hi I'm Arealia" I said smiling
One boy fell and some even stopped. I kept running though maybe I would find a girl around my age here. But I didn't so after I ran my 5th lap I ran to my sensei.
"Sensei I'm done!" I shouted Halfway to him
"That's good how do you feel?" He asked
"Motivated sensei!" I said like a soldier
"You aren't tired?" He asked
"I had plenty of sleep last night" I said smirking remembering that it was because I had some cupcakes.
"Okay let's start sword training" he said.
"Yes sir" I said getting in a stands i read about in a book, mixed with a stance in a anime I saw.
"Such blockage" muttered my teacher.
"Thank you sir" I said ready to swing.
"Go!" He said shouting as he lunged at me.
I maneuvered and pretended like I was gonna trip him so he could see it and swing over. And once he swung over half way I hit him in the abdomen with the sword.
"How? Did you-" he asked dumbfounded like.
Everyone looked at us and was shocked. I withdrew the sword and took 4 steps back and bowed. I dropped my sword and stood still waiting for instructions.
"Let me guess you're not tired and you already know magic and how it works" he asked sighing
"Y-yes sir"
"I'm gonna name some elements and tell me if you excel or no or say not tried if you never tried." He said
"Yes sir!" I said
"Fire"
"No"
"Nature"
"No"
"Water"
"No"
"Light magic"
"Never tried"
I only gotten up to rare in all of the elements itself for light because I've never tried it. I wonder why he didn't say Ice.
"Alright good let's start with some spells. I excel in fire magic so I can teach you fire balls,arrows,and fists." He said
"Sir I already know those" indeed I did know them, I've never tried it though so I decided to take it back.
"Never mind continue sir sorry"I said
"Okay so for fire ball you just-" he started but I finished
"Imagine a ball yes sir I know" I said showing him a big fire ball.
"Put that away you might hurt someone!" Yelled a random soldier
"Sorry miss!" I screamed back
"Arealia make them smaller" he suggested
"Yes sir I'm sorry my imagination ran wild" I said
"Ok now arrows just pretend you're shooting a bow" he said demonstrating it on a tree and than putting it out with water magic.
"Yes sir" I said getting ready to aim
I took my stance like I was Merida and was holding my bow and arrow and then a fire bow and arrow appeared.
"And fire" he said
I fired it and hit above the mark. "Oh no I need to work on my target" I said
"Yes!" My teacher shouted
"Sir?" I asked
"It's just- your homework is to work on targets" he said dismissing me.
"Yes sir!" I said bowing and walking back towards the mansion.
A/n sorry the chapters is short I isn't want to be able to prolong the climax.
