Last time:
I sighed again. "What do you want?" "Ouch that hurt. Maybe ah just wanted ta talk." "And I'm Headmaster Leonhart in a dress." "Really?" "No you idiot!" I shrieked when he tried to look under my skirt to check. "Well darlin', I'll get straight to the point. Do you want ta become a SeeD?" "Um, duh. Why else would I be here?"
He grinned. "Well the exams are extremely difficult to pass. I can help you…for a price…" I could feel his hand running up my leg. "I don't need your help!" I smacked it away. "Oh really? You're just a common whore, how do you expect to pass without my help?" I glared. "You're a pretty big slut yourself Mr. Kinneas!"
I turned and stomped out of the classroom, fuming. How dare he offer to pass me if I fuck him! I was a whore, yes, but…I want to change! I'm going to become a SeeD and prove everyone wrong! I'll show him and everyone that I can do this! And I promise I'll make Nida proud.
Now:
I had lunch this period, and so after getting my food, I went and sat at an empty table and pulled out my cell phone and dialed Nida. "…'lo?" a sleepy voice greeted me. "Nida, I wanna come home!" "WHAT? No! Why?" "The Sharpshooting teacher here is Irvine Kinneas!" "…who? OH! Oh shit Kasai!" "I know! And he tried to get me to fuck him to pass my SeeD test!" "Well don't let him get to ya! Show him you can do this! And do it for me, I want to see you meet the potential I know you have girl!"
I smiled, Nida always knew how to make me feel better, he was the best friend I could've ever asked for. "I'll do it, I promise. I'll make you proud, okay?" "That's what I like to hear. Bye Kasai." "Bye. And get your lazy ass out of bed, Nida." And with that, I hung up, laughing softly at the string of curses and a thud as Nida fell out of bed.
Alright, what's next? I pulled my schedule from my bag and looked at it. Combat Training. I threw out my trash and headed off. After class, I looked a mess. My hair was in my eyes, I had a few new bruises, and my sleeves were ripped. I ran to my dorm to get changed into another uniform, and ran to the library, I had SeeD exam tutoring. I spotted the tutors, and walked over. "Kasai Hikari's the name, I'm here for the SeeD tutoring." "Ah yes," a woman answered. "You're working with Headmaster Leonhart. He's in the Training Area waiting, please head over there." I nodded, turned on my heel and strode off.
"Hello? Anyone here? Headmaster?" I didn't see him anywhere. I heard a very light swish of fabric; I just barely caught it, along with the sound of something slicing the air. Only a well-trained sword fighter would hear it. And luckily I had trained with swords since I was young.
I gripped my gunblade and swung it around and parried the blade of my attacker. I looked up the blade to see Headmaster Leonhart. I'd already learned from other students that he barely showed emotions, but I could see the shock in his eyes. Something tells me he's not used to people parrying his sneak attacks.
"…not bad." Was the first thing he said. "Not bad huh? 'Ch, I could see the shock in your eyes." A grunt was my response, and he took a few steps back. "I've seen the style you move in before. Who trained you in sword fighting?" "Someone who has no place in my life anymore. Their name is of no concern to you. Anyway, I believe I am here to prepare for my SeeD exam at the end of the year, so can we begin?"
He nodded. "Fine. The SeeD exams are difficult, and many students have had to take them several times before passing. But if you work hard enough, you can pass the first time." I nodded, determination flashing in my eyes. I'd show Kinneas, and I'd make Nida proud of me, I swore to it.
We trained until 4:00, and then I went to study hall. I decided to begin practice for the written part of the SeeD exam, and grabbed a bunch of books and took a seat. I'd gotten sheets outlining what subjects would be on the exam from Headmaster Leonhart. I skipped the section on sorceresses, I didn't need to study that. Let's just say I knew…well…a LOT about that subject.
Instead, I focused on the types of magic, and their functions. I wanted to make sure I didn't get anything messed up. I WOULD be passing the SeeD exam at the end of the year. I trudged off to the Dining Hall for dinner, but for some reason, I just couldn't bring myself to eat. It wasn't the food, I just had this ominous feeling in my mind…like I could tell something bad was about to happen. Well it did.
At 6:00, the Disciplinary Committee strolled into the center of the room. It was a girl who was announced as Fujin, a man named Rajin, and then a recent SeeD graduate named Seifer Almasy. SEIFER ALMASY? I quickly hid in a group of students, I couldn't let him see me, I didn't want to have to talk to him.
I felt like such a coward, hiding the entire time they were reading off the rules. After Seifer had stopped speaking, the girl named Fujin stepped up, and everyone jumped a foot when she practically shouted in one or two words clips. "MEETING. OVER. GOODNIGHT." I got up and walked quickly towards the hall doors. Maybe fate would be kind to me just this once and let me get out without Seifer noticing me. I hate you fate. I felt a familiar hand grab my wrist, and stopped short.
"Kasai…?" I heard Seifer's voice speak hesitantly. Wait…Seifer can be hesitant? Who knew? I turned slowly to face him, nodding. "Yeah, it's me. Bye." I turned on my heel and kept walking. "Hey! Hey!" I heard him jogging to catch up with me. "Woah, what's with the icy shoulder treatment?" I gave him a glare that would make anyone but Seifer cry. "Have you honestly forgotten what you did to me all those years ago?"
"Uh…" he seemed to be thinking, but after a good 5 minutes, I was fuming. "You broke my heart asshole!" I screamed at him. He blinked. "I..did?" "Yes you did! Remember this: So…What am I supposed to say?" He winced. I knew he remembered now. "Kasai, I'm sorry…I didn't mean for it to come out that way, it just kinda did…" "Well you asshole, it ruined my life. I was broken hearted, and ended up going to work at a strip club because I didn't want to live with you and your family anymore, and I needed money!"
He looked very uncomfortable. "er…" "Seifer, just leave me alone. While I'm here, you're nothing more to me than the Disciplinary Chief, and a SeeD. We will only speak if necessary. We are not friends anymore, we haven't been friends for years. So leave me alone." I turned and walked off, leaving Seifer to ponder his thoughts.
