Squaresoft owns them and refused to sell them to me! Sob.
Seifer's POV in the transport "home"
God, the mob looked so big! Though it's much smaller than what we'd expected. Heh, thank goodness I came up with the idea of using the death spell to safeguard the virus. Luckily the missile was not launched. Otherwise, the effects will be disasterous! Come to think about it, Lincoln wasn't half bad after all. Though without him, I could have still managed the mob on my own. But he made the job much easier. I did not have to use even 25% of my strength! On the whole there wasn't any difficulties. In fact, it was even relaxing! Oh, Instructor is coming towards me. Have gotta thank her for her death spells.
"Seifer?"
"Yes, Instructor."
"Congratulations, you've finally passed the test. Guess I won't have to see an old classmate being my student again. Great, my classroom will finally have some piss with the class joker out of it."
"You hate me so much huh, Instructor Trepe? So much that you can't wait to see your favourite student, me, graduate from your class? Oh yeah, I almost forgot, you only have eyes for your prize student, Commander Leonhart."
".I don't wish to quarrel with you on the day you graduate."she turned to leave.
"Wait a minute, Instructor Trepe. You left these with me the other day."
She spun around and asked "What?"
"These. I don't need them anymore. Looks like you haven't forgotten that incident." I returned the X-potion and Phoenixe Down to her.
"Oh, these. Well, you may have them as my graduation present to you. As for the incident which occurred a few years ago, who can ever forget it? Especially when that fire burnt the building down? Thank god there wasn't anybody in that old building." she replied with a sigh.
Both of us were silent for a moment. Then I decided to change the subject.
"Instructor Trepe."
"Err, please call me Quistis from now on. I'm no longer your instructor now that you've passed the test."
"Err, right. Instr. no, Quistis, where was your childhood home? I'd known you since I came to Garden but you never told me about it."
"Sigh. Even if I wanted to, I can't. You see, I come from an orphanage. That's all I know, because that ophanage brainwashes all the children when they arrive or leave the orphanage. They do that because every child there had a sad past of some sort and after living in the orphanage, the children will find some solace which will be lost upon leaving that place. So, they would rather brainwash us than to leave us with some memories filled with sadness."
"How coincidental! That was exactly what happened to me. Am I right to say that they will return your memory if you requested for it after you're 18? That's the procedure for my orphanage."
"Strange. It's the same for mine! Unless we came from the same orphanage?"
That idea struck me at the same time. Before we could talk more about it, Xu walked into the holding area, and told us that we will be reaching Balamb Garden in 5 minutes and that Headmaster Cid wishes to speak to Quistis once she gets back to Garden.
"Well, see you at the graduation ball tonight." She turned and walked out of the door leading to the 'balcony' of the transport.
############ Ahem! It's reviewing time! #############
Well, that's a short chapter. Yup, I was more 'free' and decided to write more while I still can. Warning, in a few weeks' time I'll be so busy, I'll probably only be able to update only once a fortnight! Sob. But what can I do since the term exams are coming up? *sigh* so, wish me luck for my exams! Harle^_^
