The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy novel Chapter 507

“I am,” Luca says seriously, pushing up from the floor as he intuits that the lesson is done.

“Well then,” Blaze says, looking at him for a long second and then shifting his eyes to me. “Perhaps you can put our Ariel through a different set of paces. See if her dodging skills adapt well to a different fighting style, or if she’s only able to dodge me because I’m the one that taught her.”

My eyes go wide a bit as I start to understand Blaze’s proposal. “Wait, you want me to fight Luca? Do you – do you know who he is? What he can do with those fists!?”

“You said he is your creature,” Blaze says, shrugging, I think a bit pleased with himself as he turns quietly and heads towards the other door in the room – though I don’t know where it leads. “I doubt he will punch you very hard, Ariel. See you tomorrow!”

And with a little wave, Blaze disappears through the door.

“What do you say, gorgeous,” Luca says, grinning at me and moving to the center of the room. “Wanna fight me?”

“Um, no!” I say, even though I follow him to the spot at the center of the room where I always start with Blaze. When I get there, Luca raises his fist into his boxer’s stance, his muscles smoothly settling into it in a way that suggests he’s done it a hundred thousand times before. Which, of course, he has.

“Oh, come,” Luca says, smirking and giving me a cheeky wink. “I won’t hit hard.”
