fandomhigh | Novice's Guide to Villains and Villainy - Week 13, Friday, Period 3 (Danger Shop)

The Danger Room was set up to look like a non-descript hallway with one door on either wall. Both doors looked exactly the same.

"Not all villains are human or as easily alienable as our would-be alien invaders from the other week. Sometimes you have to face the unknown, something you've never encountered before and likely won't encounter again. Sometimes you go into a confrontation expecting one thing and find yourself faced with something completely different. Behind each of these two doors is a monster. Use your resources. Use your allies. Your goal should be to get them to submit to your demands. Good luck."

After class, she added, "Next week will be our last class before the exam. I'll let you know what it entails next week. It will be a practical exam and don't worry, if you've been paying attention, you won't need to study."

Luke dove out of the way and rolled towards the nearest sword. He came up with it in his right hand and waited for the creature to make the next move.

Grendel narrowed his eyes at Luke. This must have been one of those Scylding warriors that the Geatish king had summoned to get rid of him. He backed away a bit from the sword, and pounded with all his might on the hall's dirt floor.

Luke's teeth rattled together.

"Temper, temper," he said. "I don't want to hurt you, but I don't want to be breakfast, either."

Grendel, on the other hand, did want to eat Luke. He figured that with a nice glass of milk, half a melon, and a big bowl of corn flakes, Luke would make a great part of a blanced breakfast.

He growled loudly. Humans were cruel, self-centered beings who hated him for being one of the Kin of Cain. Why shouldn't he hurt them?

Luke's hand tightened on the sword. "Don't make me do this," he murmured. "Come on. Work with me. Go vegetarian."

After 12 years of eating tasty Viking warriors, it was probably too late for Grendel to even try to going vegetarian. He roared with a noise that shook the hall, and lunged at Luke.

Luke spun and struck out at the monster, aiming for a hand with his sword.

That wouldn't kill him, right?

No, it didn't kill the monster. Only magic swords could do that. It did, however, slice right through his arm, severing Grendel's hand off. The monster stopped his attack and just stared in shock at his bleeding stump.

"Oh, eww," Luke said. "I'm sorry! I'm used to lightsabers!"

Grendel kept staring at his chopped up arm, and slowly his menacing look started to change into a whimper. After a couple minutes of this, he suddenly rose to his giant feet and fled out of the hall, leaving a trail of sticky green blood behind him.

Grendel's Mommy would know how to make it feel better.

His giant clawed hand, however, stayed on the hall floor, right where it had fallen.

"Man, that was disgusting," Luke said, making a face.
