If I could stop the rain from falling
Feb 2500 Endymion Planet, Port Vernon city, Gifted School
Catherine Halsey couldn't stand it, she never lost to her parents after the first game they both had to teach her how to play chess and now Viktoriya Ivanovna Serebryakov took first place in the Endymion Gifted school chess tournament,
Making the entire school body cheer as the favorite to win, hers, finally loses, she sees the board for all her matches analyzing moves and possible outcomes, and how to make a playthrough goes in a way with only the initial stage doing the right moves, but when confronted in the finals, Visha went full throttle in a roundabout way. Making Halsey move as far in the future as she could, not that time was a problem, she only needed a split second to analyze, the shock came when in the middle of the match she finally saw Visha in the eyes she then chatted.
-finally seeing your opponent in the eyes huh,
Unfazed and demeaned in a way that steeled her to make a kill shoot like the ones in the sniping field range.
-you never took your eyes off the board and only when
pushed too hard into thinking slowed dawn to see who you faced in the entire tournament.
Halsey was a member of the ranked people in chess, played in tournaments, played against 8 masters at the same time, and was placed in the black belt division at an early age, sure, she was only doing the minimum attendance to have her qualify for prized tournaments and get some pocket change, but now in an open tournament the likes of her childhood friend trumped all her efforts.
-you know, you do not need to alienate yourself from your classmates, nor be shunned out of socializing, only because you cannot understand how people only think two steps into the future instead of the 3d twenty moves like geniuses usually do, do not make people less valuable.
Weird, they were neighbors and childhood friends but never saw her so mad or scary, yes, she made her jokes and was rude but never saw her out of her chill mood.
She remembered how she brought books of chemistry showing those little atoms toys they armed in components and named them as one of her early memories, or when seeing how she explained the solar system planets and constellations in the navigational charts, some way or another as far as she remembers she has been there at her side, heck they even learned French, Romanian, Spanish, and Russian together, her proficiency with languages never ceased to amaze her, she is not sure to make it so well as hers even today.
-In a way I am mad, I went into the art course with the hope of seeing you follow the hard science path that was natural to you, but never expected to see the foul mood that Building had when asking about you when I moved in.
Yes, she was the best but precisely that might be the reason she could not mingle in her group, everyone was just too childish, too superficial, just too simple, she didn't need some empty friendship when they did not take themselves seriously, only to be forgotten when finishing their extracurricular activities of getting out in contact with each other when changing their environment.
-yes, you never broke a rule and never fought hand in hand, but your scheming, manipulation, and misunderstanding make a mess of the annex, if you could move everything to make yourself untouchable, why not make everything to make it happier, didn't I teach you that.
Yes, her moves were decisive from the beginning if only she was on attention overseeing a warning when seeing her, no, she would find a way to mess up the board too, when doing stuff she is her natural counter, not her opposite would be more accurate, a natural disaster, the likes of how people learned how to make damps and boats before they comprehend the mechanism behind the Archimedes principle way back at the time.
-I am going to be sure to correct everything and not a single rock will be left flip, I am going to go all out, I am not going to be shy, nor filtered, if I am going to do it, I go will go all out, to be honest, even if that ends up hurting, I'll correct everything.
Yes, how an artist, painter, writer, cook, and such could do all of that performance in the activities of the science department, well, being Visha, she is capable of putting on a good show.
And so, she did it, getting everything in place as she moved her final piece ending the meteoric ascend of the chess genius of the science division, leaving everyone speechless the same person that could defeat twenty people in quick succession in different matches and defeat the top-ranked in the entire planet, bested by a painter.
That day marks the beginning of one legend in the Seven Wonders mysteries of that school for doted children, never, make a chill art course girl mad, because she will enter the school competitions and outsmart everyone in the science course, being athletics or academics, she will triumph above everyone and make you accept humility or worst humble the entire school, teachers or planet.
When little Viktoriya taught Halsey chemistry math and stuff she adored and loved to follow her wherever she went and followed her like a little duckling but now.
when she said something to upset her, she simply hit her with reality when Halsey tends to put the boys in their place when giving airs in math competitions, she also joined and took first place, giving a flick on her forehead with a classic "I said it little flea. "
when doing a rally too, even if she is not the best in a sport, she was sure to be top in her distance of choice only to see Visha smash everything sports-related and get first from hundred meters to fifteen hundred meters, everything to make Halsey humble and bit her words.
Today she is humbling herself again by baking, and stuff again, more often than before, she didn't want to be doing something too meager like fooling around and wasting her time in cooking but as always, she loses her bets and now she is paying attention to the proceeding of kneading and baking.
But today's mystery is why if they were supposed to do an apple pie Viktoriya got into making strudel, ¿?, Wasn't she of Russian descent, why come up with a German recipe,
both mothers are so proud of their scheme making Viktoriya get Halsey to do girlie and meaningful stuff, coordinating to dress up, baking, going to the saloon, painting especially painting, and getting Halsey into the piano having the stoic bookworm have something in her room that is not only technology or books is a great achievement.
-why strudel, weren't we supposed to do an apple pie it didn't need to be of the classic or rustic style.
-feel like it, also we could use the datil in it, you need to not be picky and try things that you never tasted before, also teaching you how to be original helps a lot in making precedents.
-you have been on a strike all year, and everything is going well, I made it into a band and even went with Mio and Yui to places, my arrangements got praised and we performed.
-not enough, if leaving things inconclusive everything will be reverted the way it was, or it will happen in the future again.
-but we will be graduated by the time your legend is done
-precisely, I want to make sure there is an eight-wonder.
-are you sure is not because you like lucky numbers.
-well, yeah, I like that number everything works with pairs of bits and hexadecimal numbers making everything elegant,
-well yeah, I like coding in machine language and making everything run flawlessly everywhere, but I want to do more than be all day on a keyboard, that is why I learned Command inline interface.
-I don't know where you get your witchcraft in tempering machines but if you can't be dexterous in making stuff you will not be capable of being independent, now fill those pastry baskets, also before doing an algorithm having time off will make you reflect in how you approach problems.
-yeah, mom
-honey, fill those apple baskets,
- yes, Visha
That evening everyone was marvelous at seeing such expertise being brought out of a home kitchen, if Visha wasn't such a good painter, they would cry out for her to be a chef or baker, but something is sure she will thrive wherever she goes.
