Break *Combat Training and War Tactics*
Break led his student inside Theo's Tavern. This would have been the perfect opportunity to ask Theo about the missing children, but Theo was secretive. There wouldn't be anyway that Break would get something out of him. All Break was was a regular. A regular in the morning and a regular at night. He and Theo never exactly spoke, although one time, Theo had to help Break in the bathroom. He remembered that VERY embarrassing night when all his secrets spilt out to Theo. All his pain, regret, and loneliness. Just the thought of someone else knowing made Break sick. Of course, this was probably how Theo managed to gain knowledge on everyone.
Ignoring the urge to ask the owner, Break found himself in the corner of the room. It was morning so only a couple of people were there and that was just enough for Break. His student asked him sure to sit, but he pointed across the room, away from the 2 drunks. She obeyed without any complaints. The handsome teacher was given a drink by one of the workers and then it wasn't long before the three men were drunk. Still, the girl sat there awaiting for her next order.
"So...anyone ever heard of the Kidley family?" Break asked with a slight slur.
"Yeah! I live a few houses away. Man, they sure are some knuckle crackers!"
"I've heard of them. Mother too scared of the father and let's him do what he wants."
"So where do they live?" Break asked. The men gave the address away and that was when Break stood up, took the students hand, and headed for the Kidley home.
"Uhm...weren't you having fun? We're leaving so soon." She asked.
"I want you to sit here and do NOT move. Do you understand?" Break reeked of alcohol. The girl nodded. "Just to be safe. If anyone passes by, don't make a sound. I'll be right back."
The girl did just that, unaware that her beloved teacher was entering her house.
Break opened the door like it was his own home. Mr. Kidley raised his fist, but was kicked to the wall. Mrs. Kidley just stood there horrified.
"Now, now...we didn't even introduce ourselves." Break walked towards the father. "You must be the famous Kidley." He looked at him with his finger on his chin. "Not much."
"Who are you!?" The man asked getting up and throwing another lunch. This time, Break didn't move. "Well?!"
"...that wasn't very polite." In less than a second, Break had the man against the wall. The drunks' bandages on his left arm unraveled and large and very sharp scythe came out. The blade was against the man's throat. "I could kill you, you know that?" Break was enjoying g every bit of fear that this man had to offer. "If you put your hands on anyone again, I will come back and this time, I just might be too drunk to stop myself..." Break threw the man on the ground and walked away. "Hm...that was easy."
Break reached the tree which hid his student. She had questions but his only reply was "let's go back."
As they slowly headed towards the school, the girl asked Break what she was missing and that was when Break remembered. "Oh no...run!!" He and the confused student ran off towards Pantheon. "The Headmistress is going to kill me!"
I told you so...
"Shut up..."
"What's going on instructor?"
"I forgot...dorm assignments!"
Out of breath, they finally reached the gates. The student ran inside still while Break sat against the wall huffing and puffing. He lit a cigarette right afterwards ignoring the fact that it would just make things worse.
"Well...it should be an interesting year." After a few minutes, he headed back inside and went off he knew not where. But in the back of his mind, he had a twitching feeling, that even though Theo wouldn't give information so easily...he wondered if he should still have asked.
Inside, he passed quite a few students. Along the way were Amina, Alex, and Chromwell. And close to them was a new girl. He watched there eyes along with his hidden eye and cocked his eyebrow. "I am not dealing with love sick children..." Then he turned and walked away, not knowing where his feet were headed. He wasn't sure how it happened, but he had fallen asleep.
Break woke up and found himself on top of his desk. It's not like there was too much to do in the beginning. Students were getting ready to settle in. He tried to relax his breathing but even that was hard to do. His temper took a hold of him and using his own personal weapon sucked the life out of him, literally. "If I keep using this, I'll end up dead soon." His vision was starting to get a little hazy again. "I keep falling asleep...every time...more and more."
Do you have a death wish?!
"Guess so. It doesn't matter."
Break. Try o get up. Socialize a bit. If you are going to die, you're not dying feeling like that .
"Whatever," he said rolling his eyes. "It's fine if I die alone." Break sat against the wall where various weapons were hung. He forced himself to stand up and grabbed a spear."
With the long weapon, he tapped on wall with the sign of Hephaestus and 10 sparring partners appeared. He twirled the spear around his body and neck, attacking each and everyone of the lifeless fighters. "More..." He threw the spear back on the wall and grabbed a mace. Clicking the wall like the first time and 20 came out from the floor. "More."
you're overworking yourself...
