"That is all for today." The GF instructor told her class. "Be sure
to practice junctioning your GFs. I know it sounds easy, but I can assure
you that it's a challenge. Ok. You are dismissed."
Squall remained in his seat, until the other students left the room. He felt that if he left first, then every student will stare at him and talk about him behind his back. He had been at Garden for three weeks now, yet still he didn't quite trust anyone as much as he had trusted Ellone. He kept his head down, avoiding eye contact, so no one will think that he was the one staring. The room was clear within a minute, so Squall stood up from his seat and began leaving the classroom. His instructor noticed that it took him a while to leave, so she asked, "Squall, is there anything wrong?"
"...No." Squall said, still avoiding eye contact.
"Ok. But if there is anything bothering you, you can tell me about it, alright?"
"...Yeah." With that, Squall disappeared through the door and out into the hall way.'
Finding nothing else to do, he made his way down to the first floor, toward the training center to begin his assignment. As usual, nobody paid any attention to him, as he walked by. After a short, quiet walk, Squall made it to the training center. The place was quiet, except for a few roars from the monsters. Squall looked around for a secluded area, so he can concentrate. He took a seat at the dock, which hung over a small pond, and began concentrating, trying to call his GFs to him.
After a long ten minute time period, Squall relaxed and took a short break. (What am I doing wrong?) He thought. (Maybe I'm trying too hard.) Just then, he heard footsteps creeping up behind him. They sounded small and almost completely quiet. Squall, instantly, knew who it was. "What Seifer?" He asked.
Seifer stopped in his tracks, stunned. "How'd you know it was me?" He asked.
"No one else bothers me as much as you do."
"Oh. Darn it." Seifer said, disappointedly. "So, what are you doing out here?"
"...Working."
"Oh." Seifer said, and then jumped into Squall's line of vision. "All work and no play makes Squall a dull boy. Why don't you come and meet my new friends?"
"...No, I have to get this done."
"What? That GF thingy?"
Squall nodded. "You suck." Seifer said told him. "I don't need any GFs to make me strong. I'm already the strongest one in this place!"
Squall sat down, cross-legged, and went back to work. Seifer wasn't ready to leave just yet. "Hey, we're going outside to draw some cool magic. You wanna come?" He asked.
Squall remained silent, busy trying to junction his GFs. "Ok. Your loss." Seifer said, and then walked away.
Squall didn't pay attention to Seifer's words. Instead, he stayed focused on the task at hand. He relaxed any tension that he had in his muscles and sat perfectly still. He inhaled and exhaled, causing himself to relax even more. A few moments passed, before he felt a sudden surge of power rush through his body. He panicked because he didn't know what was going on, and then he cut off the power by coming out of the trance. (What was that?) He thought. (Was that... my GFs?)
******
They stood in an easy win battle against a Bite Bug; the three of them stood ready to begin the fight. Without waiting for the monster to strike first, Seifer stepped forward and stood with his hands stretched out in front of him. "Draw!" He shouted, and then some of the Bite Bug's magical power left the monster and went to Seifer.
"I'll finish him, ya know!" Raijin shouted, and then ran forward with a stick.
He began beating the monster, depleting it's HP with each strike. After countless attacks, the battle was over. Seifer and Raijin performed there own victory dance. "Look at this!" Seifer shouted into the silence. "I got some Fire spells!"
"That's cool, ya know?" Raijin said.
As the two boys were replaying what had happened in the battle, a slightly older girl stepped into view. "Just Fire spells?" Fujin asked. "You should try to turn those into Fira spells. They're much stronger."
"Really?" Seifer asked. "How do you do that?"
"Well, it's hard to explain." Fujin stated. "You have to have alot of magical power to do it."
"I'm strong enough to do it. I know I am!" Seifer said.
"Then, start transforming your Fire magic."
Seifer stared for a moment, unsure of what to do. Then, an idea hit him. "I know what I'll do." He said. "I'll just find a monster that has Fira magic and draw it."
"That's a waste of time." Fujin said.
"Well, you won't tell me how to transform my Fires!"
Fujin thought for a moment, and then said, "I guess it couldn't hurt to tell you."
Seifer smiled and shouted, "Yes! I'm gonna get some Firas!"
******
Squall went through the same procedures he did when he first felt the power surge. He sat on the dock, cross-legged and relaxed. He inhaled and exhaled, deepening his trance. It took double the time this time because of his actions the first time before he felt the power surge again. The power tried to force it's way into Squall's body. Despite his fear, Squall didn't cut off the connection this time. He could feel the power giving him more strength on the inside. Once the power wave found a place to settle in, the intense situation settled down. (Quezacotl...) Squall thought. (Ok. One more GF to junction.) Then, he began junctioning his second GF, Shiva.
Lil Sefie: And that's the next chapter. I think it's a pretty good one myself. What do you guys and gals think? Oh, and in case you're wondering why Fujin is talking normally, that's because she doesn't hold Seifer with greater esteem... or something like that. Okey dokey. Send me some good reviews! Why do I have to say that? You guys always send me good reviews. lol!
