is it not true (3)

Vann went to the training class early, with his sword, he practice his swing with a focused face. Getting there early one hour allow him to practice in peace as he also get some exercise in a peaceful manner.

With no one watching, he feel much more spirited to practice more. Just five minutes before the actual class time, Vann stopped and went to the side and sat down. He close his eyes, and rest himself as he waits for the other students to arrive.

He can hear other students arrives, so he stood up and dusted his clothes and went to queue with the other students calmly, waiting together with  them for their teacher to arrive.

Since a knight and a mage class were to be practicing in a separate class, so he will not be meeting with Ginny until the evening class, where they will learn about the history and other theory classes together.

The teacher arrives while dragging Leon behind him and then begun to instruct them to start the swinging practice again. After he make a round around the students, he made them duel with each other to strengthen the fighting sense for each student.

And he allowed them to choose their own pairing to duel, leaving Vann alone as no one is wanted to duel with him. "There, Leon you go duel with Vann."

"..." Leon looked at Vann and sluggishly walked to him, with his still same and messy hair as yesterday dinner time. "Hupp" he lift his big sword.

"Wew..." Vann also raise his sword and ready his shield, in a readying pose, the two of them ran and and start to attack.

Though as they were dueling, Leon stared at Vann just like he did before he leave yesterday, giving chill and ghostbump, making Vann make a mistake and being hit by the big sword. Luckily he lifted his shield just in time to defend himself, but the force still forced him to be pushed back for quite a few steps.

"Ugh, why are you staring at me like that?" Vann could not resist and asked while he wipe his sweat a bit and put his shield in front of him.

"Nothing really, I'm just somehow feel concerned about something." Leon said with a dispirited tone and spin his big sword and attack Vann again.

"?! So are you releasing this concern in me or what?" Vann held his shield again, but as he was pushed back more and soon his shield could not hold on and once it's out, he attack back with his sword.

With shaking hand, he tried to push Leon back, but their strength were rather different, so he hardly able to stay on his feet as he held on.

"Alright alright, the two of you can stop." The teacher came to them and looked at them, "Vann, you'll probably need or increase your muscle training more to face Leon."

The two of them put away their sword and bow down a bit to their teacher. "Yes teacher.." Vann nodded his head, and went to walk back to the bench available there.

Leon stretched his hand and then he yawned, feeling sleepy, only getting a glare from the teacher. But he did not do anything wrong, so he just walk to the bench next to Vann and laid down there.

As the other were practicing, they rested for awhile, and Vann went to do some muscle exercises as according to the teacher advise.

Lunch time, he went to the canteen and saw Ginny, seeing him, with his food tray he went to that table and sat down. "How's today classes?" He reached and ruffled Ginny hair.

"It's okay, we learned about strengthening magic" Ginny said with a smile, "want some water?" He put a bottle of water on the table.

"Sure." He took it and drink it like usual, finishing half of it. "Eat up, you also got theory class too isn't it?" He cut the meat and start to eat.

Ginny also focus on eating his food and once awhile he put the meat on Vann plate and eat the other slowly.

Just as they were eating, Leon who came a bit later, took the seat next to Ginny and poked his head a bit, "what's good?"

Ginny shook his head and looked up at Leon, "this spaghetti is pretty nice, so I bet you liked it." He pointed to the one he halfway eating.

"I see. Let me have a taste then." He leaned, took the fork from Ginny hand, and take some of the spaghetti and eat it. He commented, "yeah it's good. I'll be right back then." He stood up and went to the stall selling spaghetti and buy a plate.

Vann had been watching the way they interact and wondered, "You and Leon knew each other?"

"Well, we're room mates since last year, I was moved to his after his room mate quit the academy." Ginny explained with a smile, "we sometimes chatted and also eat together once awhile."

"Was it before I met you?" Vann poked the meat and cut it more.

"Yeah, but he gotten a bit busy now, so we rarely got changes to eat together like this."

"I see. No wonder you two seemed close." Vann nodded his head, he guessed that Leon probably did not like him being close to Ginny, either because he himself liked Ginny, or just though that Vann is not worth Ginny.

It is a no wonder why he seemed to use more force than usual today, and the fact that he keep pushing him back quite a lot of time, probably to show how he was irritated about this.

He shook his head, he though that he just go back first and let these two eat together instead. He stood up, "I'll go first then."

Just as he was going to pick up his tray, Ginny reached and held his shirt "Vann, don't accompany me eat till I'm done?" He looked at Vann with a sad eyes.

"Well, Leon can accompany you." He look at Ginny, ruffled his head.

"No, I want Vann to stay here too." Making a more sadder face he tug more on Vann shirt. Vann paused and looked at Ginny, and just as he was going to sit down, Leon came back with the food.

"Well, he's here. Then, I'll be going." Vann reached and make Ginny release the hand on his shirt, and he then walk away.

Ginny glanced at Leon and with gritted teeth he eat the spaghetti grudgingly. Leon make a not caring face and sat down and eat too.
