This marks the beginning of the second arc - 'The Academy'.
Eva and Chengli had sprinted the entire rest of the way back, and so were red-faced and panting heavily when they arrived. This seemed to have appeased the sergeants, so they continued to the next lesson of the cycle. But not everyone was happy about the 'wonder duo', and a few jealous glares had c
Some blows landed, which ended up bruising the both of them, but not a single strike was debilitating or critically damaging in the slightest. Chengli was practiced enough to hold back his punches right as he struck, but it was something that Eva herself had to learn right in the moment. She wanted
It truly felt like they were game characters living in a universe filled with NPCs. They also never felt hunger or tiredness, and so never ate or slept. But many still did, just out of habit. Others loved to eat and sleep, and so continued to indulge in those activities. Eva herself loved to eat a
The next cycle, the two sergeants came into the bunk to shock all the cadets awake, as was mandatory. They were completely surprised to see Eva and Chengli tidying up their spaces, while already dressed and ready. But that didn't stop the sergeants from flashing the lights and sounding an airhorn.
Eva was absolutely thrilled. She was about to fly around with the power of her own mind! She quickly had her DI give her the location of each jet on her flightsuit, and fired them one by one in short spurts. This gave her an idea what direction they took her, as well as how fast it did so. She had
Some had even accidentally struck the hangar ceiling. Luckily, it was just a simulation so no real damage was done. But it was still marked against them... Eva and Chengli were already very familiar with flight, so they both pinged their sergeants. They wondered what they should do, as relearning t
The fourth cycle was virtually the same as before. An hour run, followed by five hours of training, an hour for food, and three hours of sleep. The pattern and the habits were slowly being absorbed by all the cadets, Eva especially. She had never had such a demanding schedule in her entire life. I
Eva and Chengli once again got a feel for moving and behaving as part of a unit, and absorbed all that they could. It didn't matter how great they were as individual pilots. Their worth was determined by their ability to be a part of a squadron. By the end, most of the cadets were exhausted. Unlike

The hab itself was sparsely decorated and seemed barely lived-in. There was a small pile of personal things in bags and boxes in a corner of the large living room, which appeared to be the effects of the small family that had moved in. It seemed that they had just taken possession of the hab itself
The pup came to a small group of human and drogar children, who much like his own brethren were running around and playing with each other. They laughed and giggled as they chased each other gaily through the park. Unlike his brothers and sisters however, the pup found some excitement and enjoyment

Kali shivered slightly as she recalled that moment in time. Her body hunched over slightly as she grasped and embraced herself in an attempt to comfort the way she felt. More than that, her voice started to crack and waver as she spoke. “Everytime I looked at him, at anyone I tried to ‘be’ with, a
“Hey, you doing okay?” Amal asked her quietly. “You look like you could use some company.” She climbed up on the outcropping where Kali was, and set herself down next to her with a warm smile painted on her face. “Yeah, I guess,” Kali replied. “Just going through some stuff, nothing too bad.” “Fe

Her heart practically leapt out of her chest as she ran towards Lucifer. The sight of hir caused tears to well up in her eyes. They practically came streaming out by the time she reached hir pod. She placed her hands on the clear canopy as the desire to sweep Lucifer up in her arms overtook her. Fr
“Wonder how many people in the galaxy have three ultra rares,” she muttered to herself. “Something tells me it’s just me, at least for now.” There is also a high priority note from Raijin, her DI noted. Would you like to review it? Freya nodded. — Dearest friend, Welcome back to the land of the
