He sat at his desk and he was glad. New generation of students had come. All of them stupid, at least not smart enough for his expectations. If only he had been given the possibility to finish a medical studies he'd be the best damn doctor this hospital had had ever seen. Unfortunately since the Chaos had almost destroyed the system no one with power of Starlight was allowed to quit their duty. Even as a Starlight he was a Healer so it was only natural that he should had been given a possibility to be a doctor. He much preferred to heal people then fight in the wars. However life was unfair and he accepted it eventually. And he loved Kakyuu the most in the universe so being able to be near her as Starlight was good enough. She loved him bask as her senshi and although Kakyuu couldn't grant his wish to allow him to be a doctor she made him a one of coordinators between Starlight's ward in the hospital and Starlights. Even when he had to go to battlefield he(well actually she, since he turned into woman – all Starlights were woman, that's how it worked, who knows why) he was organizing the medical and healing help for injured and even perform first aid tasks.
Yaten assigned himself as lecturer for basic anatomy classes. He liked to get to know new students. Eventually about five of them would be joining Starlight's Ward in few years, so he wanted, when times come, be able to point out those most talented ones. Not that they would ever be good enough. This was his duty to motivate them during their first year of studying and if that meant he need to be jackass so be it. It's not that he found pleasure in tormenting students, well maybe just a little pleasure, but he was doing it for them. They would thank him one day (although no one ever had just yet).
A knock on the doors has brought him back to the ground. Did someone was insolent enough to interrupt him? Well, it was written on the door that he was suppose to have a tutoring hour right at that moment but no one had ever dared to come before.
"Come in." he said angrily. A blond girl entered.
He remembered her, she had been late for his classes, she had tripped on entering the aula and had distracted everyone from what he had been saying. When he had asked her in attempt to prove her how stupid she was about the names of spine bones she had just looked at him and couldn't spill a word.
And now she was interrupting his time .He gave her look 'get the hell out of here,' but she entered cheerfully ignoring that.
"I'm sorry, I've checked that you have tutoring hour now." She said shyly.
"Yes, but it's for the students with perspectives. With your lack of knowledge I don't think you are going to last even until the end of this term."
"I'm sorry, I've made a bad impression. But I came here to study, since I know that I'm lacking basic knowledge. Isn't this what tutoring hour is for?"
"No, I can't waist my precious time on you." She looked at him shocked.
"You are very rude. When I saw you I thought that you were a nice person who wants to help others." Yaten looked at her with disbelief. Students thought he was demanding or simply son of the… but no one had ever offended him like that. How was he make students to respect him if they though he was nice. Short people must use terror to get respect that was what he had learned.
"Well, being a doctor is a responsibility sweetie and not fun. I can't just pet my students and tell them how smart they are if they aren't. Life is tough." She sighed.
"I know that I may seem out of place, but please let me explain. I was very sick until recently..."
"I know you have some teary story, I just don't care sweetie." Yaten interrupted.
"I was told that you lost so much to Chaos, and I thought you would understand. My whole family and all the people who were dear to my died during the war. I was very sick and woke up from coma only few weeks ago with no memory of my life. I know how this sounds, but it's true, ask doctor Merik if you don't believe me. I have nothing and no one, I don't remember anything, even my name. The only thing I know is that my parents wanted me to take this path and be a doctor one day. It's all I've got, all I can stick to. I've been granted a chance to study, and I have nowhere else to go. I've learned about myself in past days that I may not be the smartest one and that I might be missing a lot of knowledge I should have at this point but I will fight to make it through. I owe that to my parents. "
Yaten sighed. He actually felt sorry for her. Every mentioning of Chaos brought those dark and awfull days to his mind. It's true he had lost a lot, some of his Straight friends, some people he knew and liked, a chance to quite Starlights and be a doctor and eventually he lost the connection and friendship of his leader Star Figter. Chaos took a lot from everyone. He was trying to find a softer words to tell the girl to go to hell but she interrupted his thoughts again.
"I know you are Starlight so you are under Kakyuu commands. Didn't she order all the Starlights to help normal people who were hurt by Chaos? I know it's been a while since war ended, but here I am. What would Kakyuu say if she knew you refuse to help someone so helpless like me? And you have a tutoring hour right now, you are paid for helping students and I am the only one here so I can't understand why can't you help me. Think again what your Princess would say."
O hell, she didn't pull Kakyuu card, did she? He thought angrily, but there was nothing he could say to that. He pointed her the chair and sighed.
"What's you name girl?"
"It's Usa."
"Sit down Usa and let's get started."
'This was going to be a long semester' he though.
