"A protection slash battle type exercise... Sweet!" Angel grinned "I just hope you're right though Saber" she said getting both her physical and mental self prepared for the exercise to come as she looked at Saber who also smiled back at her. He was confident in his ability well enough that he felt like he could handle almost anything thrown towards himself and his team
*Step* *Step*
"Why the smile, FREAK? Don't tell me that you've forgotten how to make the right facial expressions? Hahahaha!" said the arrogant boy from earlier, Ryder, in an attempt at provoking a reaction out of Angel.
During his attempt at distasteful mockery his teammates backed him up in laugher while the other trainees watched the spectacle unfold. Because of how Ryder's attitude was towards not just Angel but everyone else which usually comes off as very rude and giving everyone the impression that he is a jerk most of the others didn't reall
The previously suspecting trainees had speculated what class categories each of the four would be in, totally neglecting one member in Lucille's team, due to how they looked which was mostly done towards Saber because he looked like he should be in the strength class so when those in that class stared at him they knew that they didn't recognize him which made them not to understand why that was but because they couldn't be certain he the four were of the same class as them they let it go thinking that they must be in different classes. This could have been dealt with a lot sooner if those suspecting had opened up to the others and asked them if those four belonged to their class instead"Why is that guy wearing something on his face? His uniform also looks completely different from ours. Speaking of which why is now the first time I'm taking a notice of him?""Yeah! Weird how I never noticed him until Ryder pointed them out to us... Wh
The one to make the comment was Lucille who didn't look surprised at the revelation"What!? Don't be stupid... Now, let go of my hand!" Ryder made another attempt to force his hand free and was successful when Saber decided to let go*SCRR*The pull back force and the sudden release caused Ryder to jolt backwards, getting off balance and almost fell but his quick reflexes allowed him to maneuver halfway to the ground which caused the sole of his shoes to screech on the floor as he made his way back up""Woah"" some trainees were left in awe at the spectacle forgetting the experience they felt when Angel did something even more amazing moments earlier. The measure of their short attention span really was short.Amongst the speed and reflex class of trainees Ryder was amongst the fastest even considering the graduating level which Adam was a part of except he was in the stren
*PANT*The teammate was barely able to keep standing as he pants for air, the other teammate had to step in and act as support while the both of them grimaced with guilt and after having proved the point which she was meant to Jessica and the teammate both swapped back their bands and then she walked back to Adam"How was it when you swapped?" Adam asked not just to prove a point but also with genuinely concern for his assigned teammate. With how he had been cooperative and showing concerns he was beginning to look like an entirely different person than the one during the first exercise who had wanted the instructor to disqualify Angel and Saber due to their 'Insurbodination'To his defense he is one who really likes to follow the rules and he thought that being a two men team was a direct act of disobedience Angel and Saber showcased. Also, even if he did like following
"What are you saying Captain? You would have cheated as well" Frank asked*TURN*Adam moved his head to the direction of the question"Lemme tell all of you a little secret... You see that man behind the glass wall up there or at least hear his voice? Well, that voice doesn't give two damns about what goes on in here or any of you, I mean why should he when all he does is sees you through a screen, and as long as nobody gets physically and mentally hurt during practice and the instructions are followed to an extent then you can do whatever the hell you want..."Everyone's eyes shone wide while Ryder and his team who were once the outcast amongst them got just as dumbstruck as everyone else, at first, but seconds later they got their confidence back again starting with Ryder their leader because the topic had now stared off them cheating"Now the exercise apart from the usual test
Everyone prepared themselves as they didn't know who was to be called and also didn't want to go up first because those who are to go first wouldn't have the luxury of fully understanding the best way to approach the exercise and they wouldn't be as well rested as those who would come after and then those after that. The best position to be was the last position as they all majorly saw it"Ryder Bridge, Zack Sanders and Vinny Taylor... You three are to step to the left and protect you cube while those in your opposing team will be Polaris and Angel Maxonwell"The instructors usage of Saber's last name without his or Nathaniel's first names signified that he was aware of his double personalities and didn't want to be specific in case Saber and Nathaniel changed places again during the last exercise which would cause confusion if he announced another first name than the one he would have used previously.
Meanwhile, Ryder and his teammates had come together to have a short discussion as they were all feeling confident in their choice of members"Like the instructor said, it's a good thing we are a two reflex class and one intellect class team while on the other hand our Freakish opposition looks like they are in the maybe a reflex and strength class alone with no one to operate their cube" Ryder boasted the scoffed"But Ryder, since we know nothing about them except that the guy looks to be extremely strong the way he held you in place without any effort at all and there's the girl who is super fast and calling her a reflex class trainee might just be wrong categorizing. They should have made a special class for her and called it superspeed class even—" Vinny said"What's your point Vinny?" Ryder interrupted"Oh yes, my point," Vinny sc
"Haha" Angel smiled and acted like what was said was a joke"This isn't the time to be making jokes, we seriously need to get a handle on this before the minute is up""Again, I have no idea what you are talking about and this time I'm not joking around..." Saber said again then turned to look at the control cube few feet behind them. "What makes you think that Nate is an Intellect class trainee anyway?" He looked back at Angel who had her eyes fidgeting in anxiety"W-well because from what I've been hearing through you which is that he is a very smart and well informed guy so I guess I just kind of figured that he had to be an Intellect class trainee but it looks like I was damn wrong..." She shrugged and gestured with her hands simultaneously"!!" Saber said nothing"Wow, but why didn't you o
"Hey girl! What happened to the blond freak and why is he in the back looking different all of a sudden?" Ryder asked as both an insult, for information purpose and a means of distracting Angel all at once 'Are they maybe planning something?' he thought while being cautious*SHRUG*"!!" She did nothing but shrugged to answer Ryder then she turned around to look at where her control cube was"Nathaniel? It's Nathaniel right?" she asked with a normal pitched voice as she wasn't that far away from her cube unlike Ryder and Zack who were going for the offensive"!!" Nathaniel gave a thumbs up as a sign of confirmation. Saber was the more abrasive and confident one of the two although Nathaniel wasn't in any case a push over himself but he wasn't much of a talker*STEP* *ZOOM*"Turning your back at me huh? Big mistake!" Ryder took the initiative
