Chapter 6: man you're awkward

In the cafeteria

Zek had been trying to catch up to Hector since his morning classes had ended it was only until they had reached the Cafeteria that he had actually managed to speak to him "Hector wait up!" Zek yelled with the other new boy following close behind.

Hector stopped near the entrance to the cafeteria to face Zek "oh hi Zek well done on making it to our class what was your test result can I ask" Zek looked at "it was 97 and who was that guy you were talking to is he new or something" Zek replied back.

Hector smirked then sceptically stated "not until you introduce your new friend Zek", Nida who had finally caught up with Zek and waved shyly, Zek then began to introduce him" this is Nida we helped each other find the classroom".

Hector smirked "wanna join our moronically random group Nida" he asked causing Zek to scowl at him "sorry Zek but the truth hurts "Hector playfully remarked, Nida laughed slightly before replying "sure".

They once again headed into the cafeteria and were soon joined the other three at an outside table "so Hector who was that guy you were talking to" Zek asked again.

Hector sighed "his names Wimbly Donnor we were talking about the garden festival "Zek smirked "so you wanna volunteer to help out do you".

(A/N you know in the beginning of the game its on the garden festival announcement on the laptop in the class room it didn't state whether it was a guy or girl)

Hector looked at him evilly "well I might it sounded kinda fun" he stated rather innocently as everyone except Nida and Zell laughed.

Lunchtime soon ended after a long explanation of the garden festival, once the bell went the group went off to their separate classes. However when Zek arrived at training the Instructor told him "you haven't gotten a weapon yet you'll be in the standard self defence class they are meeting in the carpark today" Zek nodded and left in a hurry to get to class still slightly confused.

"Hi there Zek you're slightly late" Instructor Riddick greeted him in the middle of a lecture about the different types of weapon.

Zek looked around to see Nida, Julia and several others sitting on the floor of the carpark interested, Zek took a seat himself at the back of the large group.

Usually Instructors lectures bored him immensely and he had even been known to have fallen asleep once so you can imagine how his Instructors had felt.

But this one lecture had caught his attention for once as the teacher was explaining the many faults and advantages of the each weapon that was on display.

"okay class these Faculty members are going to test each one of you for your strengths and weaknesses and suggest a suitable weapon type for you all oh and for those in other classes you have the next period off as this takes a while" the Instructor stated as several faculty members came in looking as stern as usual at the young Cadets.

Once the Instructor had finished they were all taken 3 at a time with the 3 Faculty members for testing Zek was in the second to last group for the day .So while many cadets came and went in groups Zek and Julia watched carefully examining the expressions of the others as they came back from the tests.

"what do you think they do to decide "Julia asked Zek ,who seemed to be laughing when a Cadet no taller then himself came back with a small rod of metal and accidentally made it fold out into a pole like lance that was about 2.5 metres long .

The student was so taken back by the sudden change he accidentally dropped it on a Faculty member's foot.

(A/N I know Faculty members don't swear but still that would hurt!)

"Argh you stupid fuckin boy I told you not to touch anything" the Faculty member swore in front of everyone ,the boy looked very embarrassed .Headmaster Cid who happened to be nearby came up to the boy and fixed it back to its original size and chuckled slightly as the Faculty member was limping off to test another student.

"Ha ha I feel sorry for the next poor sod that has him for a tester" Zek whispered to Julia as the member looked at a clipboard and announced "Loire Zek" in a disgruntled tone.

Zek was mortified and Julia looked at him "Zek a man named Jason once told me think before you say things cause half the time it comes back to bite you" Julia told him causing him to frown as he walked off annoyed with the faculty member "that was so cheap Julia".

The member led him into an office/classroom with from what he could see as some kind of simulator and a seed member in it. The member took a seat and picked up a clipboard, the Seed member looked at him and smiled "stand in front of the simulator and pick up any type of weapon you see on the floor" the Seed instructed. Zek picked up one of the various weapons lying on the floor which ranged from a sword, a spear, a pistol and several others.

Zek now stood in front of the simulator ,the Faculty member was in a barrier protected room convenitly enough ,now with two daggers in hand Zek listened for further instructions "now follow my move and repeat it when I say so" the Seed commanded .

Zek watched as the Seed did a simple manouver Zek tried to follow it, but when he did, he ended up losing his balance completely and dropping one dagger a few cms away from the Seeds foot and holding onto the other for balance to get up.

"He he sorry" he said rather awkwardly as the Seed looked mortified at how close he had come to having a rather large hole in his foot.

"Okay that was ...too close but try again with a spear okay" the Seed stated slightly nervous at what would happen next, Zek did as he said and performed a similar manover with the spear, at first it went perfectly but...

Zek once again lost his balance and the spear flew out of his hands into the air heading directly towards the barrier which if it had not been protected would have hit the faculty member directly.

"Uh no try another weapon oh and try not to kill us will you" the Seed stated rather frightened, Zek looked the two awkwardly "sorry about that" he said awkwardly before taking the next weapon which was a small Revolver "um use these they are blank bullets not that I don't trust but I want to live long" the Seed said putting in two blanks.

Suddenly a static simulation of a monster emerched on the simulator with two targets on it Zek aimed the gun at it and missed both by a mile the blank bullets instead hit the barrier and both the Seed and Faculty member exchanged worried glances.

"Okay it's a no with guns then try a sword "the Seed said taking a few steps closer to the refuge of the protective barrier.

"How much does this thing weigh?" Zek blurted out as he tried to lift a two sided sword and perform the same simple movement he had tried before. He eventually did manage to pull the sword up but due to the weight of the sword, and his small 13 year old body, fell over backwards with the sword out-stretched.

"Um little help here" Zek stated rather embarrassed and uncomfortably as the sword was currently outstretched over his small 13 year body.

The Seed looked scared witless now "never again, I swear I'll never wag class again" the Seed muttered to himself as the sword had narrowly missed his foot again!

He soon rescued the young boy again and handed him a smaller sword "its called a Saber sword its light and easy to carry so hopefully even you can handle this" the Seed said matter of factly to a now very bored Zek.

Zek took hold of the sword and looked at it sceptically "okay but how long is this going to take "he asked the Seed looked at him "as soon as we find a weapon that you can handle without taking cutting everybody's heads off" he remarked causing Zek to grin sheepishly .

The Seed soon stopped talking as the Faculty member glared the two evilly, Zek once more took his position in front of the simulator this time a figure appeared on it and Zek had to try his best to match the moves shown.

Zek activated something on it and a reddish glow over came it he looked at it and remarked "cool".

(A/N in the game they have those and I was randomly watching star wars so yeah)

Zek found that he seemed to able to perfectly match almost all of the moves except one very technical one ,the Seed seemed to smile for the first time since the test had begun "okay we have found your weapon and I'm still surprisingly in one piece".

Zek looked at him innocently "sorry about before can I go now" he asked quite innocently, the Seed nodded and Zek left the room ,the Faculty member following close behind to test another awkward teenager.

"So what weapon did you get "Julia asked when Zek rejoined the group of friends once again , Zek showed her the Saber sword "cool so how many times did you almost kill the Faculty" Nida asked causing Zek to laugh .

"You did that too Nida"he asked intrigued ,Nida nodded slightly embarrassed by his clumsiness Zek laughed then replied "about four times I almost made two holes in the poor Seeds foot".

Julia laughed at this "man you're so awkward but still Nida how many times did you screw it up" she asked changing the topic to Nida.

"Hey I did not screw up" Zek argued back, Julia smirked "did so", Nida put a halt to the argument, "two but I did manage to scratch the Faculty member slightly" he replied causing the other two to remark "serves them right".

Zek looked at his friends sceptically "wait why are we talking about this again" he asked Julia looked at the two boys "because we're random".
