Tenacious Sky

After lunch, Easton showed me where the gyms were. Inside I found the fencing club area, and quickly found the locker room. A bunch of guys were already getting dressed. One of the guys noticed me and walked over to me with a smile.

"You must be the new student. I'm Sawyer, the fencing team captain," he introduced himself. I shook his hand with a smile.

"I'm Sky," I replied.

"We've been expecting you. I heard you were pretty good. Your locker is over here. Your suit is already inside. You'll wear that for sparing practices when you're not wearing your gym clothes. But for today's practice, you can wear your gym clothes. We're doing conditioning," he explained, showing me to my locker. I thanked him before opening the locker and taking my backpack off. Luckily, most of the guys were already dressed and leaving the locker room. I would have to figure something out for changing in the future. Once they were all gone, I changed quick and headed out as well. In the gym, guys were already running laps around the outside of the mats. Many practice floors were set up with electronic scoreboards and sensors. This was truly a top notch school.
