"Okay people!" said the gym coach. "Today is the first day of normal classes!" We had heard this millions of times, and I sighed. "Today, we start with combat excorsizes." My ears perked up. Fighting was my specialty.
"Your names will randomly be drawn, and you will be forced to fight each other. Teams have no meaning in this class!" I smirked.
"The rules are limited to no fatal wounds and no killing! And if at all possible, keep your true form locked inside! I understand that emotions and pain bring out your demon, but don't fully release it!"
"First fight!" The bored scrolled randomly through a long list of names and stopped on two. This went on for about five battles, all of which went smoothly.
The sixth time it scrolled, it stopped on my name. I didn't look at my partner's, because I didn't care. I jumped down into the stadium, spreading my hand and legs equally apart, so the impact didn't shake me.
My partner was a boy about my age. I didn't move from my crouched position, and kept my eyes locked on him. My tail lashed around, since I had let it free to balance my fall. Random objects wer placed around the area. Boulders, tall poles of wood, a small pond, were just a few of the things.
Never taking my eyes of the boy, I stood up slowly. Keeping each others gazes, we slowly started circling. Finally, he tried to faint right, then attack my left side, but I sprang above him and kicked his back, causing him to trip slightly.
"Is that all you got?" I taunted. "This fight will be easy." My words got to him. Blindly, he tried to tackle me, but I jumped again, landing on the top of one of the poles. "What's the matter? Afraid of hights?" This was when the fight got interesting, just as I planned.
His form started to change, but stopped half way between a strange animal and the human boy. I smiled, 'cause the fun was just starting. The biju backed up a bit, then, without warning charged at the pole. Jumping again, I landed hard on his back. His head hit one of the boulders, and when he didn't stir, I knew he was KO.
Smiling, I lept back up to the class, crouded around the rail. Looking at the time, the whole battle had lasted less than three minutes.
"Easy." I said and walked up to the gym teacher, who was writing on his clip board.
"You got an A," he told me. So for the rest of the time, I enjoyed watching others battle porely. The action was over, so I sighed. My excitement lasted less than three minutes. Now, I was bored.
So that's how my first gym class went.
