Eternal Courage

Chapter 4: The Brains and the Sword (M)

The next couple of days had flown by. The remaining transfer students were due today and tomorrow at the Green B.U.S. Then the school would be in full swing. The lessons overall were rather sparse. At first, many thought it was to allow the students to adjust and warm up for the remaining year but as Saku found out "What?" He said sitting next to Sophie in the canteen "So...they don't have any lessons here?"

"Well...not really" said Sophie in a slightly annoyed tone "there's only a couple of lessons. There's only B.U.S theory where we are taught on methods to wield our powers. And...no that's pretty much it"

"Wait" said Saku slightly confused "but, what about aura training?" Sophie shook her head "Individual trainers for each rank?" and again "P.E?" she shook her head again

"From what I've heard they just expect people to train" Saku let off a loud sigh

"No wonder this is the worst academy in the world" he said hanging his head "if I didn't have you and Anastasia to teach me...I'd be sunk" she let off a small giggle

"May I ask what's so funny?" said a familiar girl

At that point Anastasia had arrived with her lunch and saw down "so may I inquire the funny joke?"

"Oh" said Saku "I was just saying I'd be sunk if you two won't there to teach me...considering no-one else is doing it"

"No thanks are necessary" she said shaking her head and bouncing her curls "That is what friends do right"

"Thank you. Although may I ask...why are you two here at this academy? I mean you're both skilled enough" this made them blush slightly "to be accepted into different academies than this one" Anastasia looked a bit ashamed which meant her hair turn blue

"well...you are aware of what happened...before with my powers"

Sophie recalled the time Anastasia was training with Saku "yeah I remember" said Sophie "You got really scared and your powers got all of out of control right?" she sadly nodded

"Yeah well..." said Anastasia in a tone of sadness, to which her hair turned blue "It's not the first time it's happened. So...I was sent here"

"Well" said Saku "I'm sort of glad you came here" she was a bit embarrassed "because now I've got a good teacher" Anastasia smiled as her hair changed back to brown "Okay now you Sophie? Why did you come here?"

"well...I was just invited here and decided to come" Saku tilted his head "What?"

"That's it? You just decided? Why did you want to come here?"

"Well...to make some friends" Sophie said with a pink face "well...how about we train some more after lunch? I mean it's not there's anything else better to do. We'll meet in the training hall" with a nod they continued with their lunch.

Saku had arrived early at the training hall which as normal was rather empty "You'd think at least one or two students would be here...training that is. Do they just expect just to get better or something?" little did he know he was being watched "Oh well...might as well warm up" as Saku stretched his body he was approached by someone which seemed to send a shiver up Saku's body

"No confidence with some fear...such a common mix" Saku turned to see a boy with a evil look about him.

The boy had dark brown hair, some of it covering his right eye so only his one red eye was visable. He wore a black tube top, over a greens shirt, with shorts and red boots. "Ohhh...so warm...yet cold. I can't get enough of it" Saku stood up
