(I'll give you two extra chapters today)

Blaze was surprised to see Gar in this room.

"What are you doing in here?" Claw Face asked, walking up to her.

"My trainer told me to report to you. He said I'm being moved up." Blaze answered, holding his red gaze.

"A runt being pushed up? That's ridiculous. Whatever. Fine. Choose a partner." Claw Face growled and walked to the front. Blaze walked over to Gar.

"You don't want to team up with me on these moves." Gar warned.

"I can take it." Blaze said. Gar sighed and scratched at one of his horns.

"Is it hurting again?" Blaze asked, standing on her tip-toes to look.

"Yeah, I'll look at it after class." Gar said, he pushed her back down.

"Stances!" Claw Face yelled. Gar dropped down into a hostile position and bared his teeth at her like the others. Blaze copied him and waited for Claw Faces command.

"Srtrike!" Gar reached out and clawed Blazes arm. Blaze clenched her teeth in pain and scratched him back. Gar didn't flinch at the pain like she did.

"Attack!" Claw Face commanded. Gar kicked her in the ankle and hooked a leg around her knee and roughly pushed her in the chest, making her fall on her back.

Blaze shot up and kicked him in the chest. He stumbled a bit, but grabbed her hand and turned her around and twisted her arm up behind her back.

Blaze growled low in her throat.

"Very good Gar." Claw Face said.

"Some what impressive reaction speed Blaze. You have potential..." Claw Face mumbled and walked off.

"Aidese." Claw Face said, waving his hand. Gar released her and started walking out of the room.

"Come on Blaze." He called.
