Chapter 8

it had been a week since we beat Gem and she hasn't bothered me or sat in my place. Rez and I were just casually talking about what we would summon for our next training session.

"I'm telling you a vampire would be sick" Said Rez

"Nah man I fell like we should fight a zombie apocalypse or maybe a dragon"

"yea the zombie apocalypse sounds cool but imagine fighting a vampire, you know, it'll just be awesome," he said

"Hello can I sit next to you" came a voice that I knew very well - Gem

"No," Rez and I said in unison

She took a seat anyways, I'm seriously getting annoyed at this. She pushed Rez off the chair and took the seat right next to me.

"Hey that's my place," he said in a sickly sweet yet annoying voice.

"Yea thanks" She replied before looking at me and then asking "Hey what's your name?"

"Railan, Now please leave me and Rez alone because as I said before, I hate social interaction," I said sternly after which I looked out of the window.

there was a crackling sound as Rez was in the place next to me and Gem had teleported to the other end of the classroom.

Everyone looked at him in shock, They had not only just disagreed to have Gem sit next to them but also teleported her away, also the fact that he could teleport himself and others - the entire class was engulfed in nothing but silence..

Instructor Maron entered and took the class to the stadium for training but every now and then people would shoot death glares at Me and Rez, after all, they just rejected a super popular girl from sitting next to them.

Halfway through the class when I and Rez were sparring

"THIS IS STUPID WHY CANT WE JUST SPAR LIKE THEM," a student said clearly frustrated pointing toward me and Rez "I MEAN WE CAN TOTALLY USE A SWORD"

"oh, you think so?" Asked instructor Maron "Well then let's see how well you can fare against him, The use of abilities is prohibited," She said glaring at him

"Yea I'll beat him, that'll be a piece of cake"

"I happily accept," I said sneering

A few moments later I was in the stadium standing opposite to a dark blue-haired boy wearing a heavy Metallic armour that covered his entire body and he wielded a broad sword, He had a bulky physique and had arms the size of tree trunks. Easy.

"BEGIN" The voice echoed through the walls of the stadium

The bulky student who's name was Damien walked over as his armour clanked, I just stood there rooted onto the spot brimming with confidence. As he got close enough he brought his broadsword down with great force, enough to crack the ground.

As bits of rubble flew up into the air I landed on the ground and immediately jumped using all the force in my legs to gain about an 11-meter high altitude, as he looked at me in surprise I positioned myself to fly straight down with my face aiming toward my ground with my body in a streamlined shape, then I pointed my sword down as the sword grazed him, he got teleported out.

My sword hit the friend head-on and created a shockwave that shook the entire field I got back up and went back and Joined Rez and sat down.

"Hey, why do you think Gem wanted to sit next to you?" He asked as I Gulped down a bottle of water

"I dunno? what do you think" I asked

"Maybe she has a crush on you," he said sheepishly

I Spat out the water I was drinking, must've looked like those anime water spray scenes or something.

"And why would you say that," I asked with a raised eyebrow

"Dude just look at yourself, You got blond hair and blue eyes and a pale complexion and you kinda look cool, Also your damn strong judging by how easily you beat her, so you know....." he said

"Huh you got a point, but that the win I got was because she was careless and cocky but heading straight into attack instead of inspecting your opponent, so it's only natural that I won" I Replied as I got up

"Well let's leave it to that, and get back to training and if I win this spar we will train against vampires in the pocket dimension," he said

"And if I win we fight a zombie apocalypse," I said as we both clashed swords.

**********

I stabbed a zombie in its gut and cut out it's head with my dagger while crackling sounds were all over the place as Rez sliced zombie heads clean off, About an hour later we were standing on top of a thousand, maybe even more zombie corpses which is weird because they were corpses anyways.

I wiped the sweat off my face as Eterna sealed a hole in Rez's leg that was torn by a zombie, but since we were in the pocket dimension, we made zombies that wouldn't turn us into zombies.

"Man that hurt," said Rez gasping for breath

"You should've been more efficient," said Nez who walked over.

"Yeah whatever, but next were fighting vampires," He said

"Sure though can you handle them?" I asked mockingly

A few minutes later I was lying down on my bed thinking about what Rez said

Did gem have a crush on me? Nah, Well I guess I need some sleep
