Chapter 1 : The Duel

After a good night sleep, I woke up fresh and early. I showered and put on my signature clothes, a black T-shirt and a grey hoodie, trousers which were fit for running and fighting. My red Nike shoes. I then headed out to the canteen to get an early well deserved breakfast. As I was getting closer to the canteen, I could smell the scent of bacon and eggs. I licked my lips in anticipation. Once I was there, I grabbed a tray and a plate and started piling up the food on my plate. After picking out the food, I grabbed a quick glass of water and sat down at a table. I looked down at my plate which was filled with eggs, bacon and bread. I started devouring the food like a hungry wolf. At the corner of my eye, I could see people looking at me as if I had no manners. Well, excuse me for being hungry! Assholes...anyways, after i was done with my food, I quickly gulped down the water to quench my thirst. I then set down the plate and glass on a 'used plates' basket. I then made my way to the clubroom arena.

After a couple of minutes, I reached my destination. I then made my way inside and saw Connor in the middle of the arena. He was smirking as he saw me enter. That cocky motherfucker.

Alright lemme explain real quick, the 'clubroom arena' as we call it was basically a huge room with mats laid down on the floor. It was where we would practice our sparring. The mats was in a square-like position but it wasn't covering up the whole room. If anyone wanted to watch us spar, they could just sit down outside the mat's perimeter.

Anyways, I took my weapon, 'The Red Avian' and took my stance in front of him. He looked at me with his weapon, 'BluesEyes', a short,sharp blade. (Which was made of wood of course) and said, "Ready to get your ass kicked?" Oh this motherfucker.

"Come at me," That was all it took for him to come running at me.

Our blades clashed together and we held it there. I then let the pressure of our blades go and slashed the sword at his side. Connor dodged my attack and swung his blade and my shoulder. I managed to parry it with another swing and thrust my sword towards his thigh. He rolled away from my attack and kicked my chest causing me to stumble backwards. He saw the opportunity and thrust his sword towards my chest. I managed to maintain my balance and blocked his attack with my blade. I then started swinging my sword at him relentlessly but none of my attacks registered as he managed to dodge or block all of him.

"He's tough," I thought to myself.

Connor then started swinging his blade from the top in hopes of hitting my head. I managed to counter his attack by blocking his attack and kicking his knee. He lost his balance and fell down. It left him wide-opened and I stabbed my sword towards his chest. He saw the attack coming and rolled away before the attack hit. He then stood back up and swung at my neck and managed to hit me. I fell down towards the floor and managed to get up before he stabbed his sword at my chest. I started to take a more tactical approach. I started attacking from all sides in hopes to confuse him from where I was attacking. He got tired of all the blocking and started his assault. He nailed a blow to my chest and I was sent stumbling backwards. He then started running at me in hopes of thrusting me in the chest with his sword. I sidestepped his attack and managed to land a blow on his left hip. I then uppercut him in the jaw with my left hand and it sent him flying backwards. He quickly recovered from the attack and started charging at me once more.

"Why is he using the same attack?" I thought to myself.

As he was getting closer he swung his blade towards my chest but I managed to block it. Then, he surprised me by punching my stomach and and kicking me in the chest. It made me fell and I was stunned on the floor. He then stabbed the sword towards my chest. I could see the blade in slow-motion as it was about to stab my chest,

Is this how it was going to end? With me losing? Something snapped in me, I started to feel my body heat up and then, out of nowhere, I saw flames coming out of my hand. It gave me a boost to roll to my side and I saw his blade hit the ground. My body started to recover and before I know it, I was already standing feet.

"WHAT THE FUCK!? I yelled in my head. I saw Connor turning his head towards me, his face full of confusion. I then snapped back to my senses and remembered that I was still in the duel. I had to end this now. I charged towards Connor, who was still standing there in confusion and striked a clean blow in his chest. He was sent sprawling on the ground and before he could recover, I kicked his blade away from his grasp and aimed my sword at his neck.

"Any last words?" I said to him dramatically.

He smirked and responded, "Alright, Alright. You win." BOOM!

I retracted my blade and held a hand to pull him up. He accepted it and stood up. Fuck yeah! We put our blades back and walked out the arena.

"Dude! How did you dodge my final attack? I stunned you!" He asked me.

I chuckled, "Haha, I don't even know dude,"

We both laughed. He then stopped walking, his face turning into one of worry. He asked me, "Shit. This means I have to do a forfeit....PLEASE DONT MAKE ME STRIP OFF MY CLOTHES!!!" I thought to myself. I had plenty of other ideas to do to him...but, he is a brony and we don't do that shit. Hmmm.

"Actually, you know what, I have a better idea. You have to say that, Princess Luna is Best Princess," I said with a smirk. He looked at me wide-eyed and muttered out, "Pincess Luna Is Best Princess.."

"What was that? I couldn't hear you??" Man, being a dick is awesome. Not literally...that would suck.

"I said...Princess Luna Is Best Princess..."

"Huh? What did you say?" I was not going down until he admitted it properly.

"I SAID PRINCESS LUNA IS BEST PRINCESS..." He sighed.

"Much better! You're free to go!" I said to him. As I was walking away, I could hear him beg for forgiveness and that Princess Twilight was the best princess. Not Luna.

Oh boy. I just made him go against his favourite Princess! As I walked back towards the Boys' Dorm, I saw that the time was still 4:30. Too early for me to go to bed. Oh well, time to take my bike out for a spin!
