Ramone is so cool
Today was exciting. I met Ramone, Mitran, and Mr. Harris in the training room to begin what Ramone calls his "advanced training program." Apparently Ramone is what Mr. Harris refers to as a warlock, and one of the very cool things he can do is move objects, like medieval weaponry, around with his mind. That is so cool. Basically, Ramone set it up so he could control 3 different weapons and I would dodge them as he made them come after me. In the first round I thought I was doing really well until Ramone's staff tripped me and I fell flat on my face. I was so stunned by that that I didn't roll out of the way in time and his mace hit me square in the ribs. It really hurt, and Mr. Harris was worried, but I was fine. It only stunned me. After having a minute to recover I let Ramone continue. This time I did much better, even when Mitran started throwing things into the ring. I actually managed to catch the club he threw! That was so cool, I didn't know I could do that. Now I had something to help me block with, but then Ramone made my right foot stick to the ground, I couldn't move it! Ramone said it was to simulate a vampire grabbing my foot as it came out of the grave, but I seriously doubt a newly risen vampire could hold my foot down like that. I still managed to hold my own though, even when that darn staff cracked me in the knee when I grabbed the other end. Despite the few moments when I got smacked, the whole excercise was actually pretty fun, and I think I'm really starting to get the handle of combat. My only regret is that I was in a hurry to get to Chemistry class and forgot to thank Ramone for all the help he's been giving me. I hope he doesn't think I'm ungrateful or rude for all he's done. I'll have to make a point to thank him later. As I was leaving I noticed that Beth was in the room and was asking Mr. Harris about a weird group of students she always saw coming out of her dorm every night. Huh, I wonder what that was about?
