I'm back again!!!! Well, I must warn you that updates might not be this quick. I'm working on other stories and don't want to piss off those who are anticipating them. So I won't stall anymore; let's get started!!! ^_^
Challenge
Noin took aim with her gun and fired into the target. She was excellent at aiming guns. Hell, she was excellent at anything.
NOT anything, a part of her reminded herself. That made her growl in anger as she shot. Her bullet hit the far part of the target.
"Noin, are your thoughts wandering?!" snapped the lieutenant. "Will your thoughts wander if you're caught in a battle outside of your Mobile Suit?!"
"No, sir," said Noin. She took aim again.
"Then don't let that shit happen again!!!" the lieutenant moved on down the line.
She fired several more times. These shots grazed the target or hit dead center. After she was done, she smirked in satisfaction as she saw that no one did as great as she did.
Except one.
"Outstanding, Marquise!!!" said the lieutenant. Noin looked over and seethed in anger.
Zechs Marquise's target had bullet holes all going dead center.
Not again!!!!!!!! She thought. Why does this have to happen again?!?!?!
Zechs didn't seem amused. He just looked at the target with no expression on his face.
He REALLY doesn't care!!!!!!! He's so Goddamn arrogant!!!!! Ooh, I'm SO mad now!!!!!!!
Another lieutenant walked over and praised her for her skill, but that didn't help. Noin glared at Zechs with strong hatred.
He acts like he can do anything, and doesn't give a shit!!!!!
Zechs was glad when the lieutenant left. He couldn't stand hearing any more rants.
It's not like shooting matters, he thought, looking at his target again. I doubt I will need to combat out of a Mobile Suit. And unlike these amateurs, I've actually ridden in a Mobile Suit before...
"You think you're so tough," sneered someone. Zechs turned to see a seething girl standing in front of him glaring at him.
"What makes you say that?" asked Zechs. He turned back to the target.
"You'll look at me when I talk to you!!!" a strong hand grabbed the front of his shirt and roughly turned him to her. "How can you just stand there and hold high that arrogant head?!?! You're nothing but a show-off!!!!"
"I just show my skill," said Zechs. "There's nothing wrong with that."
"It is wrong if you constantly get the attention of superior's with you so-called "skill"!!!! You should let someone else get noticed!!!!"
"Then that would make my skill wasted. I AM friends with Treize Kushranada, after all."
He knows His Excellency?!?! "I don't give a damn!!!!! Just because you're friends with His Excellency doesn't give you any special privileges. And quit making everyone kiss your ass!!!!! It's annoying!!!!" with all that said, that girl stormed away.
Strong girl, thought Zechs as he turned away. And she even got in my face. No one's ever done that before. I guess she does have a point...
"Dude, I've never seen Noin explode like that," said a boy.
"Me neither," said another. "Usually, the girls fawn at his feet."
"It's because she's jealous," said another. "She got the top marks last year in everything, and she can't help that she's second. She has it coming, the way she stalks around here like she's better than us."
Noin, huh? That sounds familiar...
"Well, her tou-san was in OZ, as a lieutenant. She wants to be exactly like him."
"You mean...she'll stay here after she graduates?!?!"
"I guess..."
"Oh god!!!! I pity anyone who gets under her!!!!"
Zechs continued on his way, knowing full well that everyone was kissing his ass. But Noin...it didn't matter. In fact, he liked the challenge. She was the best rival in the entire base.
"Um, Noin?" said a trainee. "I don't think it was wise to challenge him like that."
"Why?" asked Noin. She settled into her cot. "He deserved it."
"But...he IS friends with His Excellency. If he wanted to, he could go to him and have you kicked out."
Noin froze. Kicked out?
"He has those connections, after all."
Noin turned over. "I dare him to try."
Could he really get me kicked out?!?! She wondered. Maybe I should...no. I won't go and kiss his ass. That just mean he won. I'm better than that, and if I get kicked out, I'll just go to another place. He won't stop me.
Next day...
Noin wanted to scream really loud. She could contain her anger much longer.
The results of another written exam from the day before were in. It made her glad, but the arrangement of it...
1. Zechs Marquise..............100%
2. Lucrezia Noin..............100%
We both got hundreds!!!! But he's still on top!!!!!!! Ooh, where is he?!?!
She searched the crowd for him. Sure enough, he was standing off to the side. She stalked over to him, her teeth clenched.
"It seems we both got top marks," said Zechs.
Noin pointed a finger in his face. "This isn't over!!!! I WILL do better than you!!!"
"You don't have to be so mad. Look, the person who landed the third spot got an 81. We did better than anyone."
"And I will do better than you!!! Count on it!!!!!" she stormed away, feeling very angry. She wanted to wring his neck, but she didn't. She wouldn't win like that. Sooner or later, she was gonna do better than him.
Okay, that was a little longer, but not too long. What do you think? Sure, they're rivals now, but later...but that's for later. Be sure to tune in again!!! ^_^
