Sidestory Chapter
En License Assessment
Time: Who knows? This IS a sidestory after all
Place: Orange Star
"License Assessment?" Andy asked as he carefully read an official Nationally addressed letter.
"Yeah . . ." Mel said as he polished his sword.
"What's that mean?"
". . .eh."
"Well?" Andy asked.
"Um . . .you have to go through a test to renew or get your En Fighting Usage License. And ALL good COs need one anyway . . ."
"Oh . . ."
"You just got yours during that summer. I've had my since I was 12." He said admiring the light gleaming from his sword.
"Wow."
"Anyhow . . .I need to go and check on something."
"Oh . . .okay."
"By the way . . .I'll see you at the test. I'll need to go for my three year renewal."
"How come you only need to go every three years?"
"This is your first assessment . . .then you go every three years afterwards."
"Oh! Cool!"
"It's not that cool Andy. Most people end up lying unconscious after these tests. It's an all out En fight."
". . .crap. I hate those! It's painful!"
"Pfeh, you'll be fine."
"Huh . . .I hope you're right." Andy said.
Time: Some time later
Place: Battlefield Grounds
"The objective of the assessment is to test your skills in En use and combative skill. The first test is only for B – class and higher users. Please head towards the target practice zone. Any C – class officers please head towards the Sim Battle station for your testing." Nell said.
"Ooh! Mel, there you are!" Sami squealed as she saw the white clad young man shuffle to the target area.
"Hmm?"
"You showed up to the assessment! Why?"
". . .I need to renew my license . . .what else?"
"Ooh! Wanna help me warm-up while we wait for our turns?"
". . .lemme check the schedules . . ." He said staring at the huge vid screens. "Huh . . .not anytime soon then. Lousy alphabetical orders . . ."
"Um . . .just a question . . ."
"What?"
"What are we supposed to do during this test thing?"
"Hmm . . .skills test, which varies from long range to short range combat . . .and various other techniques."
". . .meaning?"
"Well do you want to practice or not? Bring it on!" Mel struck a fighting stance.
". . .right here!?"
"Why not? No one cares, I've done it millions of times."
". . .but . . ."
"I'm not gonna go easy on you today of all days."
". . .fine! Let's go!"
Time: Within about . . .50 seconds . . .
"Owie . . ." Sami whimpered as she slowly sat up on the ground.
"Sorry . . ." Mel said realizing he overdid it ever so slightly, as he offered her his hand.
". . .mmm." She pouted.
"Couldn't help it Sami . . ."
"Meanie!" She said kicking him in the shin.
"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Mel hopped about grabbing his leg. "Geez!"
"Next time don't go so rough okay?" She said.
"Fine . . .I said I was sorry already . . ."
"Okay . . .you're forgiven!" She said hugging him.
". . ."
"I actually don't have to do the combat test . . .but I wanted to pick a fight with you anyway. Nya." She said giggling.
". . .nya? . . .wait. What!? Then why'd you want to fight anyway!?"
"So I could get some practice. Even though it only lasted 50 seconds!"
"Wha . . .Sami!" He tried to grab her as she bounded off. "Why you little!"
"I'll pay you back! I promise!" She said giving him a wink.
". . .!" He reddened.
"Not like that you perv!"
". . .you're such a tease . . ." He said kissing her cheek. "Later okay?"
"Heehee!" She blushed. "See you later then!" She jogged off.
Time: Hours later . . .
"Ya-SHA!" Mel shouted as he brought down his sword.
'Clang!'
"Holy CRAP!" Andy said as he rolled out of the way.
"Stop moving! Blade Pulse!"
"Shockwave!" The two attacks nullified each other.
"Heh . . .pretty good . . .now stand up to this! Destruction Blade!" Mel unleashed one of his CO attacks. To most normal people, the only see Mel standing on the same spot as his foe flinches in pain. But to others . . .
"Waaaaaaaaaaaa!!!" Andy screamed, just as the lightning quick attacks were about to strike.
"Time's up! Good work! Both of you!" Nell said as the round was over.
". . .wha . . .phew . . ." Andy relaxed, just to find Mel and a sword hovering over his throat. "Huh!?"
"Damn!" Mel said. "I just wanted to test my upgraded Destruction Blade attack . . .you're lucky this time around Andy!"
". . .yeah . . .I guess I am." Andy said as Mel sheathed his sword.
'Clink'
". . .haha! Perhaps the next person to fight me won't be as lucky!" Mel laughed.
"Heh. That I've got to see!"
Time: Round 2
"Gah!" An officer groaned as Gabe kicked him hard in the face.
"I'm not done yet!" Gabe laughed as he ran past his foe and drove his knee into his back.
"Ugh!"
"Yahoo!" Jumping up and spinning his leg around, Gabe caught him straight in the gut.
"Argh!" With that, he flew out of the ring with a thud.
"Ooh yeah, I'm good!" He said laughing.
"And on to round 3!" Nell announced.
"Hey Gabe!" Gary shouted.
". . .aw crap . . .you mean I have to fight YOU!?"
"Guess so!"
". . .gimme a break! I can't fight my own team – "
'WHAM!' Gary already kicked his friend in the head.
"OW! What the heck was that for!?"
"Just shut up and fight me!"
Place: Café
Mel sat watching the TV screen showing the various fights.
". . .huh, that's just bad luck." He commented as he saw that his friends were busily smashing each other into the ground.
". . .so . . .who's your next fight Mel?" Sami asked.
". . .looks like . . .I'm done."
"Hmm . . . that's no fun then."
"Meh . . .they know better than to pick fights with me."
". . .huh." Sami took a sip out of her chocolate milk. "Mmm . . ."
"Is that all you like?"
"Yeah."
"Hmm . . .looks like no one won this time around." He said pointing to the screen as time ran out.
". . .well goes to show how well-matched your friends are."
"Most likely."
". . .are you sure you don't have another fight?"
"Yes. I'm done."
"Wow . . .that was boring then." Sami said.
"I'm done . . ."
"But . . .isn't the hero of the fic supposed to do like constant fighting and look damn cool while doing it at the same time?"
". . .yeah, so?"
". . .then this is BORING."
"No . . .this is a sidestory."
". . .oh. Interesting concept." Sami said.
"But . . ."
"But what?"
"I'll discuss my future dreams!"
". . .eh?"
"Listen up and listen good!" Mel said, dramatically.
"Uh huh?"
"I swear that one day I'll be the Commander in Chief of Orange Star, and when I am . . ."
"Uh huh?" Everyone listened.
". . .it will be regulatory for all female personnel to wear . . ."
". . ." Sami knew it was coming.
"MINI-SKIRTS!" He then struck a disturbingly dramatic pose.
". . .oh my god." Sami said.
". . .GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Mel continued to laugh as the male population in the café started to have a massive nosebleed.
". . .you moron." Sami said pulling out a blunt object.
'TWHACK!' She knocked him out cold.
". . .ow." Mel passed out.
"I'd like you to know Mel, that there is no way in frost hell that I'm gonna wear a mini-skirt when I'm still in service!"
". . .that's what you think Sami . . ." Came an ominous voice.
". . .whatever author dude! Up yours!" She gave the author the one- fingered salute while she dragged Mel back home . . .
