I didn’t trust Luka for one minute. He was a chaos type God and I didn’t trust his intention with my mate. And no, it had nothing to do with the fact that I wanted to spend this class getting to know Katrina better. I felt like her relationship was progressing quicker with the others than it was with me. Miles had an advantage over the rest of us. He met Katrina at our club and rescued her. The there was Aphelion the natural born charmer, the pretty boy, every girl fell for him so it wasn’t surprising when Katrina grew closer with him this morning. And Samael had the dark brooding thing that all women seemed to love, I’m sure he managed to make up with Katrina this morning in class. Then there was me, the shy quiet guy. Whenever Katrina was near I seemed to get tongue tied and couldn’t think of what to say.
“Uhh Beckett,” Adriana called disturbing my thoughts, “Could you help me, I can’t seem to master shielding. Every time I try to block Ajax his power seeps through.”
I swear that woman had no sense at all. There was a reason Luka had teamed us up with the opposite skill type as us. Regular shielding wouldn’t work. With Ajax’s earth kingdom gifts, he would be able to demolish a water shield without hesitation.
“Water shields won’t work against earth types.” I replied, controlling the urge to roll my eyes, reminding myself that I was the heir to the water kingdom and I needed to treat my citizens with respect.
Adriana looked at me confused. She only had a sliver of divine power, she was maybe one sixteenth God if not less
than that. I wasn’t sure why the academy had invited her. Her tiniest amount of power wouldn’t have made a difference around the mortals. The mortals would’ve assumed she had a water affinity, they would chalk it up to the elements, maybe even call her a Wiccan. But the council had determined that any one showing any amount of a God given gift was to attend the academy.
“How about we show them a real match?” Piped up Penelope, daughter of Gaea, a demigod, also Miles‘ ex betrothed. Miles‘ wasn’t Penelope’s type and she was very much in love with her girlfriend Brynn, who happened to be one of Miles‘ many half siblings. Gaea and Ares were more than happy to have their two children in a relationship. If something were to happen to Miles then Penelope and Brynn had a strong chance at ruling the Earth Kingdom together.
I smirked at Penelope, she was just the distraction I needed. If my thoughts kept roaming to Katrina and Luka I would go mad.“Sure, You know I am always up for the challenge.”
Aella of the Sky Kingdom and Dade of the Underground kingdom merged their powers together creating an invisible shield that would block Penelope’s and my powers from leaving the dueling circle we had created but allow the
other students to watch our battle,
“In real life situations you won’t know when or what your opponent is going to strike with but in this simulation Penelope and I are going to call out what our plan of attack is and what we plan on countering the other opponents attack with. We want this to be a teaching example. There are many reasons we train as hard as we do. One of them is to protect ourselves against the attacks of other kingdoms, another is to learn how to protect ourselves if ever the titans escape the nether, and then there is another darker situation that cannot be discussed at this time.” I tell the class, enhancing my voice and putting my power of authority behind it, “You can attack first.” I tell Penelope.

Penelope stance changes in the circle, I know she is going to cause an earthquake even before she tells the class her intentions. I draw on my powers to counter her earthquake with a tsunami. The magnitude of her earthquake is strong making that of my tsunami even stronger. Wave after wave crashes into Penelope, I don’t let up waiting for her to either signal defeat or find a way to fend off my attack. Penelope does not let me down, she easily counters my attack by forming a mountain, effortlessly climbing to the peak, before summing a mudslide that comes crashing down into my waves. I am quickly covered in mud, that she then tries to harden into a rock, I am too quick for her capture though, causing a sudden downpour of rain that leads to a monsoon.
