At 12:00 pm, students started to exist their respective classroom because combat classes are done in different building far from main building as it might accidentally get damaged during the training, that's why combat hall is made entirely for to stand still strong even if someone uses their destructive powers, it won't fall or get damaged.
All four divisions of first year students walk outside of their main school building parameters as they walk on the path to the combat hall, they can see their friends and acquaintances. Their mood turned excited and cheerful as this is their first combat class.
"Hey, Jack, I thought you might have gone to the number one academy in our country with your grades and lighting power." The young man said with a friendly smile on his face but Jack knows he was just making fun of him cause that's what his best friend David has always been like with short black hair and tan white skin with brown eyes, a face that can make anyone believe him to be a good boy but only he knows him well enough.
"I know why you are thinking like this and wondering why I didn't get admission there. That place is for the monster just standing next to students from there would make you scared and question yourself about having talent at all. Man, I felt like a normal human for once as i arrived here anyway I'm in class A now and what about you David."
"I'm in class B, I didn't see you anywhere on the first day nor did I get a call from you or you came to meet in breaks. It seems that you changed a lot as soon as mid school ended. The air itself speaks to me as if I'm in the presence of a noble heir or something. "
"It's nothing like that, I was just busy all this time and only arrived here yesterday, I didn't have much time either to go outside the campus."
"We are not allowed to leave campus without permission from the principal but... we can still sneak out at night like we did before in mid school, be ready at 11:38 PM." David's eyes were full of excitement as he leaned towards Jack, telling him his plan in a low voice so others couldn't hear their plan.
"Yup, I'm in bro." Both of them look at each other with eyes glowing with stars as this is going to be another fun adventure for them.
Many more students were talking with their old schoolmates or acquaintances, without even realising they walked towards the hostile architect building full sharp spikes giving an eerie and oppressive feeling to one mind. But the worst oppressive and suffocating feeling didn't come from the building but from the two men standing at the front door of the combat hall. Their oppressive and suffocating might seem to clash with one another to show their strength to new students. Students saw two famous people standing outside the combat hall. If someone says that they didn't know them that means they are not from their country they must have come from a different nation. The one standing at right side is earth ability user Mr. Federico Stephen and the one who is standing at left side is Mr. Grey Maxwell, a martial artist for great storm style. Both of them had the same poker face looking at students as if they grind their bones to dust to make them into shining diamonds.
"Silence." Mr. Federico Stephen's voice resounded throughout the surrounding like thunder strikes catching all the students attention.
"My name is Federico Stephen and I'm an earth ability user. I don't have to give you long introduction about myself. So, I'll just make short and quick for you all listen closely. Combat hall is divided into two parts, first for special abilities students and second is for martial arts students. I will be teaching you from now on how to use your special abilities better and more effectively during the fight and defence and most importantly bring out your abilities hidden potential outside."
"Now, all Special ability students. Please, stand on the right side and make two queues and follow me to the right side of the combat hall building. While students without special ability stand on the left side and follow Mr. Grey Maxwell to your respective hall." After saying that Mr. Federico Stephen starts walking in the right side of the open door with special ability students following behind him, after that Mr. Grey Maxwell looked at all the students and started walking inside the wide opened left door without making any noise. Students follow behind him but unlike students from the special ability class no-one formed queues here and everyone came with their own paces.
As walking in the front with only his back visible to the students, Mr. Grey Maxwell's forehead twitched with a bit of anger but he couldn't do anything about it and just let it go as it might ruin the image he wants to make in front of the students. He prepared to give a full speech to all students standing here but Federico ruined it all. He spent the whole night writing the best thing can for this speech but it's all useless now, maybe when he can save it for the next time.
When students enter inside they meet a wall full of all kinds of weapons they can think of or never even imagine in their life inside the martial hall. Mr. Grey Maxwell stood on stage as he observed every student's reaction as they watched the combat hall with fear and awe. After a few minutes of observing students Mr. Grey Maxwell realised his tiny little bit of oppressive might of his to get everyone's attention. Students look at the source of the oppressive might Mr. Grey Maxwell, they felt as all this weapons inside the martial hall is useless against Mr. Grey Maxwell in fight. He has a strong build, he has lots of muscle mass like a bull, and a claw mark scar running down from his forehead to his chin is making him look scary and confident.
Seeing all students' attention on him, Mr. Grey Maxwell started introducing himself first but he already threw away his written speech in the back of his mind as he never was good with words and it wasn't within his personality to do something boring like this, he will just say what he thinks is the best. "My name is Grey Maxwell as you already know and I'm going to teach you hand-to-hand fight and fight using different weapons and martial arts techniques that suits your body the best and helps you unlock the aura."
"But everything will be done with steps as how child learns to crawl, stand, walk, jump and finally run. That's how everything is done in life. We can't just skip everything straight to speed, running like mad horse and one who thinks they can do it, they're just blind snails with big ego."
"There's all kinds of weapons in this world and you can also use everything as weapons in this world but always remember that the most important weapon we have in our life is one will, one spirit, one soul and one courage and one that holds them all together inside one vessel is…"
"Our body."
"And I'm not going to make a long speech, we have all kinds of weapons here. All of you are going to train with them until you understand your weapons as part of your limbs and soul but never get full of yourself. Having confidence in one ability is good but blind ego and over confidence is ugly and cruel to oneself and I'm a perfect example of that as you can see my scar and one blind eye." Mr. Grey said with confidence and high spirit as students understand his words and not lose their path in the long run.
"Today, all of you are going to choose weapons that suit you the best, not the one you like, remember this. Remember the difference between liking and what's best for you while choosing your weapons, because changing your from time to time will leave you behind everyone else who picked the one that suits them best. Now, everything that I have to say is already being said. Now, choose the weapon that suit you the most in your hand and don't choose the other weapons just because they look cool in your eyes."
When students heard what Mr. Grey Maxwell said, they started to look around the hall for weapons that suit them best. But like all the time there are some people who wanna be a hero fantasy and choose weapons that look cool. Mr. Grey Maxwell can easily identify this bunch of fools by picking up a great sword to be more correct touching a great sword as they can't even lift it up.
Larissa walk around the hall looking at the weapons on the walls spear, bow, dagger, knife, sword, great sword, gauntlet, gun, sniper rifle, shotguns, shield, hammer, long needle, mace, spike and axe various other weapons Larissa having hard time to choose, which one suits her the best as many students are playing around with the weapons in their hands. Larissa looks around to see which weapon Luna chose but she's nowhere to be found and Leatitia seems to be in a special abilities hall.
As Larissa walks around to see a weapon that suits her better, she tried spear, daggers and gun but it didn't feel right with her. More and more students are done selecting weapons that suit them best and are easy to handle and practice. Larissa's eyes finally fell upon the long sword, she picked up the sword and tried to swing the sword a few times, it felt light on her hands and comfortable.
"Seems a long sword suits you the best, Larissa." Luna said as she stood behind Larissa looking at her slashing sword in the air. Larissa got spooked by Luna suddenly standing behind her, and she didn't even realize that Luna was standing behind her at all and she didn't notice her presence at all as if she's a ghost. Larissa turned around to look at Luna but she was shocked with her weapon choice as she noticed Luna wearing a gauntlet with deadly spikes on both of her hands and a double headed axe with a long handle in her hands.
"Luna are you certain that you want to use this double headed axe and gauntlet as your weapon, you can choose something different you know cause that axe looks heavy and gauntlet is bit... how do I say this, you might ended up hurting yourself with this." Larissa face is full of concern as Luna seems to go with her liking instead of what suits her best.
"It's all right Larissa, it suits me the best. One swing slash from this axe I behead the werewolf like cabbage and if it doesn't work just gonna smash their head like a pumpkin." Luna swung a double headed axe in air with her full strength and made a sharp wind cutting sound just by one slash.
Some students standing around them look at their direction but they soon ignore her as many students just like making air cutting noises in the martial hall and to some they just appears as cringe show off, but some of these people caught Mr. Grey Maxwell eyes he made mental notes to pay attention to these students more. As he starts approaching students one by one who showed good results at choosing weapons.
"Kid, show me your attack move more time."
"Good... Really good flexible spear suits you the best in your hand." After saying he walked off to the other students.
"Young boy, you should look for other weapons in the martial hall. There's plenty of them, not just the great sword, you have been touching since you arrived here."
"Girl, you have a talent for double daggers. You made the right choice." As he walks to each student one by one some of them get a happy expression on their face, while some seem frustrated and sad as they know they made the wrong choice with weapons but few of them are really stubborn with their decisions.
"You have made a pretty wild choice for weapons like this. If you don't mind, I would like to see you use your double headed axe one more time." Mr. Grey Maxwell approached Luna and Larissa as they were talking to each other. Luna looked at Mr. Grey Maxwell and nodded her in agreement as she stepped back to slash her axe in air one more time.
WOOSH!!!
As she slash her axe in air sharp of air cut by the axe heard by the others once again. Her face is gleaming with the smile on her result, she place double headed axe on her shoulder after demonstrating her attack power.
Mr. Grey lets out soft laughs as watch Luna and holds her double headed axe handle with one hand and casually takes it away from her. Luna's expression got tense, did she do something wrong?
"Youth, full of spirit, energy and courage, you are strong and your strength is something but young girl don't place such sharp and heavy weapons close to your delicate neck." Mr. Grey Maxwell holds the axe in different positions by placing the head of the axe on ground and tail up above as it's easy to hold without harming oneself or the others, showing how to hold such heavy weapons cause any mistakes might accidentally send her to heaven.
The hall filled with the students moved their eyes at Luna as her attack attracted their attention, such display of strength isn't rare but it isn't common either among them yet. But they will take their time to watch and see how promising people can be in future as hidden talents don't shine at the first time.
"What's your name kid?" Mr. Grey asked as he saw her strength and talent.
"My name is Luna proklyataya." Luna's eyes shine and proud and joyful expression as she saw Mr. Grey Maxwell only asked a few students their name as they all showed promising talent and ability and she's one of them.
"The slash that you just made now seems like a professional using martial arts technique after practicing every day for years. Do you know how to use a double headed axe before?" Mr. Grey Maxwell as Luna might be from some martial family or inherited some skills that might have been long lost.
