On the way Squall passed the mean guy at the gate (His favorite thing to do was scold the bad students /any he didn't like as they passed.) he also passed the line of trees with side walk on ether side.
And to top it all he had to pass the most annoying thing in the snitch
(he gave Squall the hardest time about not having a hall pass and when Squall tried to explain this wasn't a hall and it was lunch hour the snitch failed to shut up and kept on yapping about how he disobeyed the rule ether way.) Finally he reached the front gate where Quits was standing.
"Are you forgetting something, Squall?" she asked. He hesitated for a moment.
"Your GF…Garden Force," seeing as she knew he would forget she said, "just make sure there equipped." They walked for over an hour to the fire cavern. After they found it they immediately felt the heat of the fire.
"All SeeD candidates have to have a supporter!"
"Is this guy blind?" he thought, "Quits is right there!"
"Uh…..instructor 14 Quits Traip…I 'm his supporter."
"Pick your time limit." said the dignitary. Just as Quits opened her mouth to say 40, Squall to interrupt;
"10 minutes." He announced freely. She stared at him in amassment. He looked pretty confident so she decide against her earlier suggestion
"Are you sure?" said the dignitary, as soon as he could he added, "very well." The too dignitaries stepped to the side so Quits and Squall could get in.
"All the guys get cocky when they get here," she said proudly, "guess my charm and good looks make them nervous."
"Whatever...…"
"I'm just kidding……. just keep your cool and you'll be just fine….. and I'm only here to support you in battle you'll have to do the rest on you own…..ok?"
"That's fine," said Squall confidently. They ran through several passes with lava on ether side before reaching a whole filled with lava and some cooled rock.
"You ready, Squall?" she asked. Squall gave her a simple thumbs up.
"Well," she said, "you seem confident enough."
