PART 124

The master took Aurora in a grand hall. Aurora saw that there were about 20 boys and she was sure all of them were elder than her.

" Good morning master." All of them greeted and bowed together.

" Good morning. I have a new trainee with me today. Meet Aurora. She will take the training along with you."

Aurora saw that every one of them kept staring at her intently. She gulped in fear.

" Isn't she the Emperors daughter master?" One of the boys asked.

" Yeah. Got any problem with that?" The master asked coldly. They lowered their heads and replied in the negative.

The master looked at Aurora.

" Your training will start from today. Someone will show you your room amd provide your training costumes. Today is the shooting session. Brace yourself for it." Aurora nodded. The master went away leaving her alone with the boys. Aurora again gulped in fear.

" hey you! Come here!" A boy shouted. Aurora looked at them and went forward as ordered.

" Look at her. How pathetic!" Another one said laughing.

" Are you bored with your barbie dolls baby girl? Wanna have some with us here?" Another one asked smirking.

Aurora closed her eyes. Ryan oh sorry James words were running through her head. But she didn't say anything.

" Oww..poor baby. Afraid of us?" A boy asked coming near her. Aurora stumbled back wards. The boy hold her hand tightly leaving bruises. Aurora hissed in pain. Everyone started laughing at her seeing that.

" How weak you are! You think you can beat us? Dare to even talk back to us and you won't be able to get out from this hell hole alive." saying that he pushed Aurora as a result she fell down.

" What a horrible day to have a competitor like her!" A boy said that and everyone laughed hearing that.

" hey girl. Let's go. I'll show you your room." A guard said boringly.

Aurora looked at him being astonished. That man saw how those boys were bullying her but he pretended like nothing happened. He neither helped her nor scolded the boys. Was everyone here that emotionless?

Was that how it was going to be?

" What is taking you so long girl? Stand up fast. I have many works to do. Don't waste my time." He again said loudly.

The boys present their scoffed at Aurora.

" Are you this much weak that you can't even stand up on your own after just a little push?" A boy said scoffing.

Aurora stood up slowly. The guard started going and Aurora followed her.

" Is she really weak? Why everyone keeps mocking her saying a weakling?" She thought to herself.

That guard took Aurora into a store room.

" Isn't this a store room?" Aurora asked being confused.

" Yeah. This is your room from now on though I don't think you can stay here more than two days so don't unpack quickly. Wait for somedays. You might change your decision." The guard said smirking.

Aurora kept looking at him.

" How can someone stay at store room? It's too dusty. I'm allergic to dust."

The guards face turned into disgust.

" Do you think you will get princess treatment here? Why are you even here if you can't tolerate some dust? Stay here if you want or go away. Fucking weakling." spating those the guard went away.

Aurora teared up there. Why everyone hates her? Was she that bad? God! What wrong did she do? Why were you punishing her like that?

Aurora put a mask on her face and went inside the room. It was really too dusty. She changed into those training clothes and came out. After asking some gaurds she came to the shooting zone. All the boys were already present there.

" Let's start the session. Everyone take your guns and stand in your position." The master said. Aurora sighed. She was not good with guns. Firstly she was afraid of them and secondly her targeting skill was really bad. She took a gun and stood in a position.

"Let's see what this weakling can do!" A boy said. Aurora heard that.

" Shoot!" The master shouted. Everyone started shooting. After finishing first round. The boys looked at Auroras target and started laughing. None of the bullets touched the target. Aurora lowered her head in shame. The master came after watching others.

" Have you touched the gun first time or what? How can someone be this bad at shooting? Not even a single one! " He shouted. The boys kept laughing. Aurora felt like dying there.

" My targeting skill is not good. I'm sorry. I'll practice more." Aurora said.

"Not good? It's the worst. Well what more I can expect from a girl? A girl like you on top of that." He scoffed.

Aurora turned red in shame. The boys started laughing loudly at her. Then they again started shooting. Aurora kept failing continuously and every single boy mocked her. But she didn't step down. She kept practicing. Everyone went outside the area to get cleaned and eat lunch. But Aurora kept practicing. She was all alone in the area.

" It is not worthy if you don't learn tactics." The master said from behind. Aurora got shocked at looked back.

" I thought you are gone long ago.". Aurora mumbled. The master came towards her and gestured her to pass him the gun. She did as told.

" Observe me." the master showed her some tactics and postures.

Aurora followed them and mastered them soon.

She kept practicing then and all the bullets hit the target.

Aurora smiled and looked at her side but the master was long gone. She went back inside to take lunch.

" Look the weakling is here!" A boy said as soon as she entered the dining area.

" Haven't you learnt the term called freshen up? You are reeking of sweats. Eww!" Another one said.

Aurora got embarrassed. She was really hungry that's why she directly came to the dining area. She ran towards her room. She took a shower and again went back to the dining area. The boys were done with their lunch. Aurora took her food and sat in a corner. After taking few bites she felt someone pouring water on her. She looked up only to find one of the boys holding a glass of water over her head.
