Thanks for all of your AMAZING reviews! I enjoyed reading all of them! Yes,
I know that the past two days, my chapters had gotten all mixed up. Sorry
about that! I'll try not to let it happen again!
Disclaimer - Like it has been since the beginning of time, I DID NOT, DO NOT, and WILL NOT EVER OWN FINAL FANTASY 8 AND ANYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH IT. Okay! Now that that's out of the way, ENJOY!
Quistis huffed indignantly. "Hardly, Almasy." With that, she continued the rest of her way out by stomping out while ignoring the laughter of Seifer drifting into her ears.
It was the day Seifer's lessons were to begin. Quistis had paged him to meet her at the front gates of Balamb Garden at eleven am. It was now ten minutes past eleven and he STILL had YET to get there.
She sighed as she looked at her watch for what probably was the 9th time in the 10 minutes he was late. As she finally gave up after 15 minutes and turned to go back in, she heard footsteps pounding on the ground. She looked up and saw Seifer running down the paved road towards her. She shook her head.
'He'll never change.' Quistis thought as he reached her. Seifer stopped in front of her and bent over as he tried to catch his breath. She smiled wryly.
"Well, it's about time you got here. In the time you were late, I've made a complete schedule for all of your lessons for the next month." She informed him as his face took on an expression of disbelief.
"To start studying for your written exam, I've assigned you 3 books to read and to write an essay for each of the books. They will be due by the end of the week, on Friday." She smiled to herself as his eyes grew larger than they previously were.
"Are you kidding me?!?" Seifer responded incredulously. "How am I suppose to get all of THAT done by Friday?"
"If you would maybe just STUDY a while, you'll find that completing the assignment will be a breeze." She retorted.
"Like that's ever going to happen." He mumbled as she continued to read off of the schedule.
"The three books you will be reading include 'Transitioning to a Guardian Force: The Dos and Don'ts', 'The History of Garden: Volume One', and 'Drawing and Casting Magic'." She listed. Seifer had long ago stopped retorting and just stared at her now.
"You're trying to kill me from stress aren't you, Instructor?" He concluded after a moment of silence between them.
"Believe me, Almasy. It'll only get harder." She pointed out for her enjoyment at seeing him exasperated from the mention of the workload.
All Seifer did was close his eyes and groan. 'Well,' he thought dryly, 'at least I'll be busy and not have to pay attention to all the stares directed at me.'
Since he had come back to Balamb Garden, the students there had avoided him. Well, at least the ones who feared him did. The others just stared at him in either disgust or fascination. Disgust at what he did when he was still the sorceress' lapdog and in fascination that Cid actually let him back in.
"Hey, Almasy! Are you listening to me?" Quistis snapped her fingers in front of his face, bringing him out of his thoughts.
He blinked and looked at her. "What?"
She sighed again and rolled her eyes. "What I had said is that now that we've gotten the studying part of your lesson out of the way, it's time to train for the field exam."
He smirked. "Instructor, you know I was born to train!"
She stared at him with a new twinkle in her eye. "Good, then you won't mind running to Balamb and back here again 10 times. After, you will do 50 push-ups, 50 sit-ups, and 100 jumping jacks.
Only AFTER all of that will I allow you to train in combat. When I do, you will train out here in the open instead of inside the Training Center because out here, there are stronger monsters. You got me?"
He mutely nodded. There was another moment of silence that passed between them before Quistis broke it again.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Get going!" She yelled. Seifer took off at a sprint along the paved road leading to Balamb City.
"And you BETTER not take any short cuts!" Quistis yelled after his running form. "Otherwise, I'll increase the laps you run!" Seifer ran as fast he could to and from Balamb Garden to Balamb. All the while he was completing his exercises; only ONE thought crossed his mind.
'Dang! She IS trying to kill me."
