After the defeat of Ultimecia, Squall and the group had returned to Garden to either continue their education or for employment. As the best Gunblade master in the world, Squall had become tutor (and role-model) at the best Garden in the world, Balamb, much to Seifer's disgust. He hated having a rival for a tutor, but he was still trying to pass the SeeD field exam, and couldn't do anything about it. However, Seifer had lightened up a lot lately, and teaching him wasn't so bad unless he was in a particularly foul mood.
Squall enjoyed his teaching position, and he was certainly looked upon with great admiration by ALL the students AND staff. Saving the world was obviously a good start in life!
The rest of the group were doing well for themselves too. Zell had become one of the many martial arts instructors, and was also a famous hoverboard stunt master, winning the international hoverboard championship at Esthar City, and with even more groupies than Quistis! He still lacked patience, but was a fun person and an inspirational teacher. He even got on with Seifer now, but they couldn't yet tolerate each other for long periods.
Selphie had become the International Garden Co-operation Ambassador, basically meaning she moved from Garden to Garden promoting meetings and tournaments between the different ones. She had also played a large and supportive part in the reconstruction of Trabia Garden, offering counsel and help to the survivors of the missile attack a year earlier, and had been a founding member of the newest Garden to be set up near Esthar City. She believed friendship between Gardens to be absolutely necessary, as it would prevent warring between any continents or cities if they were all bonded by SeeD. Rivalry between Gardens was absolutely unacceptable, and it was also Selphie's job to keep this to a minimum.
Quistis had returned to Trabia Garden to follow another teaching course. She ran tutoring clubs in her spare time to try and improve her teaching skills. All of the group were behind her, and she was grateful for their support. Losing her teaching job really hit her hard, and she was prepared to do anything she could to get it back. But the only thing she did lack was the experience, and now confidence. All the other teachers were older and wiser than her, apart from Squall and Zell, but they had such amazing skills and talents in their field they had been given the jobs anyway. Quistis couldn't help feeling left out, and had to work hard to hide her jealousy from the two young tutors.
Irvine was continuing education and extending his knowledge of fire- arms, intending to prove his self-proclaimed skills at being the "greatest sharpshooter in the world", and hoping to follow in the footsteps of his friends and becoming a tutor. He was known to follow Selphie around occasionally still, even though the couple were pretty much official, everyone knew he really got on her nerves sometimes!!!
Things had been pretty quiet for the last 6 months or so, and the world seemed at peace. Everyone was happy, and with the new Gardens, it seemed like nothing could spoil the paradise…
How wrong could they be?
