By the time class ended no one had made it to ten percent on creating the rune, while the task may seem easy it is anything but. While a rune may look like a simple drawing but in truth it was a very complex mix of precise surface strokes and hidden strokes, to make a rune useable you need to get at least half of the surface strokes right but the chance of something going wrong are high, thankfully the danger could be lower by mastering more of the rune and when one mastered the rune they could release its hidden ability, each rune had one. plus mastering even one rune could get you a job as a rune carver but mastering a rune takes about 3,000 hours of dedicated effort at least unless one was talented with runes.

Even though the bell had rung Ms.bell had not woken up, so the students quietly left the room as not to wake her.

Sam walked out of the back door of the main building towards his next class Gym with mr.love.

mr.love was a 6'3 super tanned 29-year-old with compact muscles rich dark hair and eyes a chiseled face and a kind gentle smile made him desirable to everyone but the man had never gone on a date with anyone hell the man has never even had a hookup or a one night stand this was ironic considering his last name.

Walking into the boy's locker room sam went to his locker ignoring the other male changing into their gym clothes entering the rune combination for his locker sam opened it and pulled out a faded plain black t-shirt, an old greyish compression shorts, and just as old light grey gym shorts. Hanging the clothes on his locker door sam began changing but not before using his ability to make sure no one would see things that were none of there business.

After he finished changing sam folded his uniform and put it in his locker, closing the door and resetting the lock sam left the locker room.

Only to have to turn back around open the locker again and pull out a pair of black socks and his sliver and grey gym shoes, Putting them on then looked down at himself and made sure he wasn't forgetting anything this time before exiting the locker room and entering the gym.

The gym had an old school look with a bunch of hidden tech in it that allowed it to change depending on what the teacher needed. Currently, the gym was mostly empty with bleacher to Sam's right and the was in front of him with today's warmups which consisted of 5 reps of 10 different stretches, five basketball court size laps, then 10 pushups and walking until the teacher called. While sam joined the other students doing the warmups other student entered the classroom including but not limited to Daniel, Samantha, Bratt. seeing them enter the class he had mixed feelings Daniel was his best friend, Samantha and Bratt he disliked them greatly. But Mr.love taught self-defense/combat class which meant that there was a chance he was going to have to fight them Samantha and Brett good, daniel bad. The only thing Sam could do was hope he was lucky…. "Well, shit," he thought.

"Alright those done with their warmup sit on the bleachers if you like" Mr.love's silk-like voice rung out another reason he was so liked. Sam did not hesitate to take a seat he may be in great shape for his age but that did not mean that he would not be lazy if, given the chance, a couple of other students took a seat along with sam.

Laying back sam closed his eyes, let his hearing level and focused on the hearts of those around him, this was a just a daily exercise for him and a great way to calm down so he just laid their listing to the beat of other people's hearts until a heartbeat he knew well made its way towards him. Sitting up and opening his eyes sam cheerful greeted his out of breath and sweaty friend who glared at him probably because he was barely sweating and had already regained his breath. Daniel lay on the bleacher and tried to catch his breath but he only had to five minutes before the teacher called the class attention.

"Okay class today like all your teacher I thought we could do something simple, that is why today we are going to have a combat tournament, one on one matches you win you move, on you lose your out of the tournament, simply right" the class gave various means of response some just groaned.

"Okay, now I am going to give everyone a number, remember it" the teacher then started calling out names and a number sam got the number 8, Daniel got 9. After every student had a number Mr.love touched his hollow necklace and changed the gym making six small sparring circles appear "I will now innocence the matches and point to their circle move to it when you hear your number now 1 vs 24, 23 vs 2, 22 vs 3, 4 vs 21, 5 vs 20, 6 vs 19. Now to your circle and let the battles begin"

"Well, this will be interesting" Sam thought his attention on 4 vs 21 that was because of number 4' fighting technique which was the same as someone from his past, someone who he cared for greatly.
