Chapter 16

Applications, Battles, and Kisses

The school year seemed to just roll on. Trance kept up with his usual chores, homework, and reading. More of his extended family, from aunts, uncles and cousins that seemed far apart and didn’t come by very often, seemed to be around almost every weekend.

Since the first invitational tournament when Corena had given him a lady’s favor they had started slowly going out with each other. Rex had really blown up at Corena when she had approached him and broken off their relationship. Rex shouted numerous threats at Trance and her. His fury was felt at a number of schools as he led his team to decimate almost every team they were to face. However, there were some teams that seemed to cause him some real problems since that first invitational tournament, besides the Gray Mountain Warriors. The Amorites, Azarians, and Black Knights all had a victory or two over Rex and his White Knights.

More invitational tournaments were held and Trance had won his way to be solidly the number two swordsman, and in the latest invitational tournament held at the Warriors school he was ranked number one. He was also ranked as the number three contender in the Gladiator Circle events. Trance won three more Swordsman Challenge events and two more Gladiator Circle tournaments. The crowds seemed to really appreciate his efforts and were fascinated at his talent, especially since he was from Earth. It almost seemed inevitable that Trance and Rex would compete several times in these events, and their matches got fiercer and evenly contested. Trance won eighty percent of the time. Rex really gloated when he won, but he noticed that he wasn’t getting as much attention as he used to.

Rex remembered with glee when he became captain of his team and started leading them to be the dominant team they were. His heart had burst with pride when many of the top recruiters approached him and tried to entice him to join their branch of service. He had settled on the Golden Griffins and was told that with his talent and ability he’d be a top pick for the division commanders. Chances were that he’d probably get picked by one of the most elite divisions. Now since Trance had showed up on the scene, he wasn’t being talked too as much.

By the semester break Trance had led his team to an astounding first place standing. They were two games ahead of the White Knights. He was excited about the rest of the year. In a couple weeks they were going to switch from castle defense and assault to battlefield battles. As with the castle battles the team would defend their home battlefield and then go invade other battlefields.

One afternoon Trance received something very exciting in the mail, his application to the knights. To Trance’s delight Kyle had a week off and offered to help him fill out his application.

“I want to join the Golden Griffins,” Trance said as Kyle went through the form and read off the questions.
