Para-Medic instantly grabbed Snake's hand and rushed out of the room. She was almost dragging him through the crowd of other 8th graders, and a few times Snake was almost trampled. And due to the crowd,
Snake couldn't tell where he was. He wanted to get there. After what seemed like 30 minutes, they arrived with the other students. And somehow, Sigint was already there.
Jack thought "Maybe I should follow him next time"
Snake chose a seat near the back, close to Para-Medic and Sigint. That made him feel a little better, because now he had some friends. Hope fully the teacher wasn't a wackjob.
He was. The Fury, his name, Snake thought it was just some wierd thing, and then he saw the fire suit and flamethrower. The entire class jumped, including Sigint, who hadn't really shown any emotion since Snake had met him.
The Fury chuckled with a hollow, matallic voice.
"Do not worry, students."said the man. I would not dare wrend you asunder with this wonderful weapon! Unless I come to hate you then you'll get it"
No one said anything. The Fury laughed again. "Anyway, I am your atronomy teacher. But I am not teaching you normal, boring astronomy. This kind will
help you understand the new idea that is space exploration. I have been to space, and let me tell you, it is amazing! When I returned, I said I will detroy the world"
Again, the students were horrified. "Ah, fine. I'll just read off the role and insult your names until 2nd period"
He did so, finding a joke for every one's name but Snake's and Sigint's. And then finally, finally the bell rang. Snake feared Para-Medic would instantly grab his wrist and take off, but this time she simply said "Follow me"
This class was outside in a small field where the tall woman from earlier was standing next to some crates.
"Is this Weapons management?" Snake asked.
"Yup" Sigint said, excited. Snake was excited too. The students all gathered around the woman. Snake looked around at the other students, identifying thier team's i.d. garment. One was a beret, and another was a patch.
Then the woman spoke.
"I am The Boss, your Weapons teacher. Our first task is to be assigned a certain gun. I will look at you and gauge what weapon you should have.
First: Sigint.
Sigint stepped up. She gave him a good look, dug through a crate and dug out an AK-47. Sigint stared at it and took it, not releasing it from his sight.
"Next: Snake." Snake stepped up and let The Boss look him over. She seemed to have a hard tome choosing, but quickly decided. She dug in the crate and took out an M14.
Instantly the others gasped. Snake didn't know why, and walked over to Sigint, slinging the rifle over his shoulder.
"Whoah, Snake! You got an M14"
"So?"Snake said, confused.
"Snake, only the really GOOD ones get an M14! Full and Semi auto, it's not as good as most rifles, but the owners make good use of it.
Para-Medic stopped by them with a simple Colt .45. She was a little dissapointed.
"Man, Snake you got a cool rifle and all I get is a stupid Pistol." she said jokingly.
After The Boss had handed out the guns, she had target boards set up for practice. Snake and Sigint were the only two with assault rifles. The rest had either LMG's, pistols, or snipers.
Snake and Sigint made it a contest to see who had the best aim, and niether had hit outside the bullseye, but still, Snake was more accurate.
No one could matche thier skill. But to their displeasure, The Boss ended the session.
"Ok, now you have got the basics, I want you to keep those at all times. Never leave your weapon in your dorm.
The students started to talke excitedely. They got to Keep their guns! They don't do that in normal schools!
The rest of Snake's classes were pretty dull. The End's class wasn't as fun as most had anticipated. mostly all they did was wait. The Fear's was mostly the same, but the students were freaked out by The Fear.
The Pain's class was interesting, because he taght about the animals of certain eviornments and how to hint them.
But finally the day was over, and Snake, with Para-Medic and Sigint, returned to the dorm.
Snake opened the door to his room and put the rifle on his bed and returned to the living room to talk to his new friends.
Sigint instantly asked him about the rifle, and compared it to the AK. Para-Medic mostly talked about the school, and her favorite classes.
And for the first time in while, Snake felt at home.
