The Lost Bloodline

Chapter 5 : Weapons Class Introduction

The moment they walked into the large hall, all eyes fell on them, they could hear a lot of whispering and a few surprised gasps, It was safe to say, the two boys that ran off didn't tell just the sergeant but, apparently also told their entire class,

"Oh my gosh, isn't that the boy that was supposedly killed by Bob's group?" A blonde haired girl asked,

"I think so but, he doesn't look dead to me" another one replied in shock,

"Maybe it's was an ability" someone said,

"ability? but how? none of us have awakened yet" another replied confused,

The Class whispers and murmurs kept on going until,

"SILENCE!!!!!!ALL OF YOU!!!" a loud menacing voice boomer across the room, startling the students to silence, they looked around but couldn't find the source of the voice,

Then in the middle of the class, a whirl wind could be seen forming,it first of all started slowly then suddenly picked momentum before dispersing and right where it was stood an old man with white hair and a long white beard, although he was old but his bulging muscles and rock hard abs were enough to know that he wasn't weak and fragile,

"Good, now that I have your attention, I would like to first of all, go through a history check to make sure you all know the reason we use beast weapons instead of guns to fight" The old man said,

Some of the students groaned and some paid keen attention, not a lot of information was available about the war with the foreign races,

"It started many years ago during an expedition in outer space, the astronauts found this huge asteroid that was said to contain energy components like never seen before, so they brought it back to earth but what they didn't expect was for the the asteroid would sink into the earth and merge with the Earth's core causing a massive release of energy that shook the whole planet and by the time, they came back to their senses everything on earth had changed, animal, some plants and some humans now had elemental abilities but that was not the only change, they were no longer in the milky way galaxy but, in a vast nebulous world where the other planets supported and inhabited other life forms, some were just inhabited by magical beasts which we claimed and began inhabiting, while others were inhabited by other intelligent creatures who didn't seem too pleased that we dropped into their galaxy unannounced and soon war ensued,

Guns of course didn't work on them, they could even control strange elements unknown to them, until the discovery of the great Leonard Verso, who showed them that certain part if the now magical beasts could be used to make weapons and armor, combined with training out elemental abilities, this greatly turned the tides of the war in our favor but they got locked in a stalemate and a truce was called" explained the old man,

Some students gasped in awe, most of them were never told about the history of their universe,

"We all know that war is now brewing again so we have to be prepared but don't worry, you won't be fighting the foreign races yet, two weeks after today you will be going on expeditions to some neutral planets that we have colonized to hunt magical beasts whose parts will be forged by the part of the human race without abilities since they are in charge of the technological procedures" The old man added,

This part, the students knew of, so it didn't come as a surprise to them, seeing that they were keeping up, the old man continued,

"now I will initiate the weapon finding system, we don't chose our weapons, your weapon will chose you, the weapon that chooses you will fit your fighting style, so don't feel down if you are chosen by a weapon that you don't know how to use at the moment, in time you will learn to use it, my name is Reginald Sharpe, welcome to Weapons Class" the old concluded with a corny smirk, he flip a switch and the walls began to slide open up to the roof revealing different assortment of weapons.

The weapons began floating out and swirling around the students before going in respective directions to their wielder,

Two weapons were floating around Brandon, a jade green metallic collapsible bow staff and a set of 9 shurikens in something like a mini cross bag, he picked the bow staff expecting the other to go away but it didn't go away, it placed itself across his neck, he was stunned,

Bruce got an asiatic compact bow and a quiver of arrows, he turned to show Brandon and his jaw dropped, in Brandon's hand was a jade green bow staff and across his neck resting on the side of his waist was a mini Cross bag with shurikens in it,

"Wow, dude you got two" Bruce exclaimed, this caught people's attention, they began giving them jealous glares,

"It would appear some of you have more potential than I thought, it's rare for one mage to be picked by two weapons and I see five of you were chosen by two weapons, you are dual fighters, please come forward" Reginald said,

Brandon and four other students walked up to the teacher, two of which were the Moore twins, Alec waved at him why his sister paid no heed to him,

"Alexander Benjamin Moore, you were chosen by the kunai - rope dart and the Japanese katana, swift and deadly, Alexandra Isabella Moore, you were chosen by cross bow and a magnum spear, versatile and powerful, Brandon Flare-" Reginald's eyes widen the moment he saw Brandon's weapons but, he quickly recovered his composure,

"You have been chosen by the Jade collapsible bow staff and Shuriken knives, flexible and incredibly deadly, Noah Cyrus, you have be chosen by a compact bow and arrow and a long sword, perfect balance in combat, Lisa Morgan, you have been selected by dual daggers and a silver whip, versatile and powerful, you will have to train harder than the others if you want to Master your weapons quickly, you may return to your positions" he said and dismissed them,

The whole class murmured in jealousy, some not happy with the weapons they got, others not content with having just one, a boy raised his hand to asked a question,

"Speak boy" Reginald said,

"Sir, what happens if someone who was only chosen by one weapon tries to get another one?" the boy asked,

"if the weapon doesn't match his/her fighting style it would be difficult to switch between it and the primary weapon during battle which a dual wielder can do with ease, the difference between the person and a dual wielder, is the natural potential they have for both their weapons, so If both engaged in duel , the dual is most likely to win unless he/she didn't train well enough" Reginald explained,

This quieted down some of the murmurs but some were still not content with their weapons,

"But today is not the day you start using your weapons" Reginald announced, confusion was written all over their faces,

"We will be training on hand to hand combat first, now, everyone get a partner" Reginald said,

Naturally, Brandon and Bruce stuck together but suddenly someone barged between them, it was the spiky haired boy from the bus,

"Watch where you are going" Bruce said annoyed,

The boy looked at him and was about to throw a punch when Brandon caught his fist and flipped him to the ground causing a loud thud to echo in the hall,

"Brandon, I had him" Bruce grumbled,

"Sorry, old habits,you can still have him though" Brandon apologized,

Their little escapade caught people's attention, the spiky haired boy felt so embarrassed, he got flipped by someone of smaller statue than him,

"Just you wait, I will have my payback" he mumbled before leaving.They spent the period practicing jabs and kicks which Brandon found easy but decided to go along with it,

They left the hall with their weapons and we're allowed to go place then in the dorms, before coming back for their next lesson which was history,

"How much do you want to bet that half of the class will fall asleep, five minutes after the class starts" Bruce joked,

"You forget we are in a military academy, I doubt they will be sleeping once the teacher has them jogging five laps around the field" Brandon chuckled in reply,

They got to the class earlier than the others and quickly took seats close to the windows with Brandon sitting at 2nd row and Bruce sitting at the front row, the rest of the students came in a few minutes later,

"Hey, did you see any of the guys that beat me up at the weapons class?" Brandon asked,

" No, not really, why do you ask?" said Bruce,

"I can't help but imagine the look in their faces when they come in here and find me alive" Brandon chuckled,

"It would be glorious, I can imagine the fat guy pooping himself" Bruce said with a laugh,

And that same moment the guys, in question walked in, the fat fat guy and those who beat up Brandon seemed to be limping while the other two were fine, the moment the looked up and saw Brandon who even smiled and waved at them, their face lost color, they immediately turned and bolted for the door which was opened and a figure stepped in halting them in their tracks, it was Miss Silver

"Have a seat boys, class is in session" she Said with a chilling smile, the boys felt sweat roll down their backs, they turned around and took seats at the back of the class hoping to escape her chilling gaze,

"Now, am sure Mr. Reginald has ready given you guys a crash course in history so I will make this lesson short so you can have your lunch early" She stated,

"Now am sure you know that the human population has two side, there's us with abilities and the other side without abilities which we call Primals, they do most of the cooperate work while we fight wars, provide security and other practical stuff and they don't go through military Academy, they go through regular high schools and colleges" She explained, sure enough some students had already fallen asleep, it seemed that even though, they had somewhat evolved, history still had that same sleeping effect on them,

Miss Silver just flicked the marker cap in her hand towards a side of the wall and it bounced back towards her desk before bouncing on every sleeping students head with slapping sounds accompanying each bounce, the students immediately woke , they held the areas they were hit, it hurt s lot more than it seemed,

"Next time, I will aim for your heads" Miss Silver threatened causing them to gulp on fear,

"Now let's talk about magical beasts, I Know your biology teacher will go into details with do I will just tell you about their hierarchy and power, there exist eight tiers of beasts - basic tier, intermediate tier, advanced tier, king tier, emperor tier, legendary tier, demi - God tier and God tier. Only emperor tier beast and above have full control of their elemental abilities, the rest just utilize the extra attribute like how earth give rock bisons high defense" She explained,

She looked towards Brandon and Bruce, there were taking down notes completely oblivious of the gaze on them,

"Now, before I dismiss you, I have an announcement to make" Miss Silver said, the students stopped what they were doing to pay attention,

"Due to an aftermath of yesterday's trials, one of you nearly died, so I talked with the sergeant, your watches would normally only alert us when you die but, an update has been made so it would alert us if any of you are in critical condition and the GPS in the watches will allow us track you down to prevent any unnecessary loss of life, and also the group responsible for the near death experience of the said student will not receive their daily allowances for a week, instead it would be given to the victim as compensation and you will also be required to jog five laps around the whole school every morning for the next week" Miss Silver said,

The cries of Bob and his crew erupted from the back of the class, it was like a death sentence to them,

"You had better be grateful, it's only for a week, I had personally recommended three weeks, competition among students is supported but nearly intentionally taking the life of your fellow student, how are we supposed to trust you not to betray us on the battle field, one small taste of power and looked at what you turned too, the next such thing happens, I will make whoever is responsible pay dearly" She said disgusted,

"You are dismissed, Brandon Flare and Bruce Devin, wait behind" She added and the students flooded out, leaving Brandon,Bruce and Miss Silver to have their conversation.
