Trina and I backed up into forms. We stood about 15 yards apart. We stared at each other with cold, fury infused eyes. She moved her sword to the ready, and I did the same with Caliburnas. This time was different from the time with the monsters though. I didn't feel extremely focused, and my body didn't feel as light as it did then. I felt some energy, but nowhere near the amount I felt then. I must not be able to control it's power yet. I tried swinging it back and forth to ready position over and over again to try and make it work, but it stayed the same. What could be different now? While I was doing this Trina at first looked confused, and then took advantage of the opportunity to attack.

She was on me in an instant. The little increase in speed and strength was the only reason why I was able to block it. Any normal soldier with powers would surely die on the spot. I was constantly on the defensive. It was easy to see that our skill gap with a sword was massive. All her strikes were pretty and perfect. It reflected her perfectly, from her looks to her training and family. If I am to win this then I will have to fight dirty. I don't know when I will get the chance to though. She isn't letting up one bit. I had to think.

She started to toy with me now. She just dodges my wide and wild swings and barely cuts a part of my body. She even somehow dodges the picture perfect way. I suddenly thought of an idea. I have enhanced strength, energy, and speed right now, so I can use that to my advantage. I finally made a move.

I swung the sword down straight to the ground as hard as I could. She cut my arm good, but I managed to do it. I ended up making a small crater on the ground. Since she was close to me, she got caught in it, and her perfect stance was lost. She was thrown off balance a bit, and I took this chance to strike. I through a punch and hit her in the chest. She was thrown to the ground. I pointed Caliburnas at her anger scorn face. All my anger about her comments before came up to the surface. I stared back at her with the same intense anger and told her, "Don't ever talk about my mom or my family ever again, and I won't speak on your family. You owe me a teaching session now too though. I won't flirt too much don't worry."

Suddenly she whipped her legs around and tripped me. I went tumbling down. I let my guard down. She held her sword at my face now. She looked down on me and told me, "I'll say whatever I want. I'll give you one hour of training tips, and that's just because I'm a gracious noble and take pity on you."

She started to walk off back to her room I assume. I just then realized all the people around us. I also noticed the cuts on my body were no longer there. What happened to them? Did she heal them? No way she did that. She seemed so angry. I got up, and I immediately got met by Liam and Lily. Liam grabbed me and shook me back and forth shouting, "What the hell did you think you were doing. We just got her and you started a fight!? Lily doesn't need this type of stress right now. The last thing we need is to be out on the streets. If we get thrown out because of something stupid you did then I will never forgive you. Do you hear me?"

I was in shock at this. Liam hasn't ever acted like this before. I looked at Lily, and her eyes were still red from crying. The realization of what could have happened hit me. I was really selfish with this. I looked at Liam in the eyes and smiled a bit as I stated, "No problem bro. Don't worry."

We walked to the cafeteria, and Captain Steyne stopped us. Liam shot me a glance. I really hope this wasn't about that fight. Captain Steven put his hand on my shoulder and told me, "You really are something kid... You managed to not only last in a sword fight with Trina, but beat her! Most people lose to her in a sword fight, even most hunters. You really are something. I'm going to keep a really good eye on you hahaha."

I breathed a sigh of relief as he walked away. I gave Liam a thumbs up. He kind of shrugged it off as we went into the cafeteria. Tomorrow is the first day of the trip to the capital.
