Hello once again and welcome! Once again I don't own anything related to the Final Fantasy universe, though I wish that
I was apart of it… anyway I'm really enjoying this story so things will get interesting… anyway here's the next chapter…
P.S: I Am SOOO Sorry but someone PLEASE tell me Fujin's last name! I forgot it
Fujin waited patiently as the seed students slowly filled up the entrance of the training area. Fujin stopped counting at about 20 when the saw the trademark rooster's comb filing through the back of the crowd coming towards her. He was dressed in his usual clothes as Fujin spoke.
"YOUR'E LATE…" Fujin said loudly through the chatter of the students as they waited for their lesson to start. Zell scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said standing next to her but facing the class,
"I'm sorry Fujin, I kind of had cold feet… but I'm over it…" Zell Smiled brightly at her, but Fujin just rolled her eye and said loud enough for him to hear,
"WHATEVER…" Zell then whistled with two fingers in his mouth, which made the whole class look towards them both. Zell cleared his throat before talking again.
"Hello everyone… my name is Zell Dincht, the higher ups said that you should use just my last name but let's face it, I'm not that old yet am I?" Fujin watched as the class laughed, but the girls in their class blushed as they giggled as they looked at Zell's beaming smile full of energy. Zell then raised his hands and they quieted down again.
"And the other teacher that you will have for combat training will be Fujin here…" everyone then averted their attention to her and she just said one word.
"HELLO…" the class looked at her with a blank stare and then they started to ask questions.
"Zell what is the point of this class?" Fujin honestly didn't want to talk right now. She really wanted to kill Squall Leonhart for dumping this assignment on her. Just because he was the new headmaster doesn't mean he can ditch jobs that he had to do. When Fujin was done with her mental discussion, she heard Zell answer the question that was asked.
"Well… lemme see… the purpose of this class is not to become stronger, but to be able to defend yourself and people you love from things that are out there. The knowledge that you gain from this class; either you can use it for good of evil. It's up to you how you use it… I'm not a machine class… I will understand that you can't do everything that I assign to you, and if that's the case, you can either tell me or Fujin here and we'll stop you right where you are. The only thing that I ask of each and every one of you is that you give it your all okay?" the eager students seemed to have been inspired from the small speech given by the young man; they seemed to be vibrating in place. Zell then clapped his gloved hands together and said as he walked towards the door to the animal grounds,
"Ok class! Here's your first assignment!" Suddenly three grats appeared from the brush and slowly walked towards the students. Most of the students froze on the spot, some of them never even been threatened by a wild creature before.
"Alex, Lisa and Tristan… step up!" three teenagers moved ahead of the group, their weapons in hand. Zell then heard Fujin say to the three youngsters that stepped up,
"ATTACK!" the three young people looked at her as if she had grown three head in front of their eyes and the girl said,
" I've never attacked anything in my life!" the Grat then whipped one of it's vines at the girl, it connecting with her chest, and making her fly back, the students hanging in the back catching her. Zell was about to jump in and kill it before it hurt anyone else when Fujin grabbed his forearm.
"WAIT…" Zell ripped his arm out of her grasp and was about to help them when one of the kids in the back suddenly ran at the Grat and kicked it back, making it slide to a safe distance. The young man then whipped out a gunblade and slashed the Grat in two, the creature's blood splattering on the teenager's clothes. Zell then walked up to the kid and said smiling,
"You don't belong in my class…" the silent child then said softly,
"Yes I do… You are on my schedule Zell…" Zell then shook his head and said smiling to him,
"No I mean your weapon is one I can't teach… but you can go to the headmaster…he's been dying to pass down his gunblade teachings…"
As Zell was trying to calm down the class and easing their nerves, Fujin tried to interpret what kind of person the so called Chicken wuss was. Can a person that was so compassionate about the welfare of his fellow man be called such an unworthy name? She shook her head and hung her head back. She didn't't have to anything. She was really starting to like this class. She didn't have to teach per say, but only be a helper which worked fine for her. Right then she felt the ground shake and she knew that caused it. She thought that the headmaster forbid any high level creatures in the low level facility. But she was wrong, she saw the tail of the biggest monster on the Garden and it frightened her. She turned to the class and screamed at the top of her lungs,
"BEHEMOTH!" Zell instantly turned around and saw the fright in the girl's eye and he instantly thought his plan.
"ok class don't panic it's attune to sound so just leave very quietly…" the class nodded, already scared beyond their wit and walked rather briskly out of the training facility. Fujin then ran next to Zell and said as the purple tail came closer,
"IDEAS?" Zell pushed her near the door and said to her in a very serious voice,
"You are backup… do you have any Guardian forces?" Fujin bit her lip and shook her head frantically as the sounds became louder and now its yellow eyes could be visible in the brush's darkness. Zell just smiled in a comforting way and said tapping her shoulder,
"It's okay Fujin…" and he turned away from her and walked to the middle of the clearing and waited for the creature to show itself
