>>6232695It really wasn't but... You were happy to prove them wrong in a playful manner!
Overhearing questionable gossip over the <span class="mu-i">Natural placed in training as a pilot.</span>
None of it is really polite conversation, but you still try not to get it to dampen your mood at your first proper day at the ZAFT academy.
<span class="mu-i">It beats the first day at Alliance Boot Camp so far.</span>
"<span class="mu-i">Yoooooo..." Someone quickly calls you up as you decided to sit alone in the mess hall, a young man of bright red hair sitting down beside you "Noticed the band and all, but aren't you in our class?" He raises the question up as you...
Don't really know him and think you should given the red colour of his uniform.
"Ah crap, right, you skipped formal induction." The young man looks off to another table as he seems aware of being watched over "Rusty McKenzie, pleased to-."
His introduction was interrupted by another red-uniformed young man of silvery hair, one who seemed to look at you in contempt.
"Rusty, why are you wasting your time on this joke?" He just rudely stated as the redhead shook his head.
"Hey, he managed to be selected as a pilot! I know Naturals can't really-" he seems to trail off from saying further as he stares at you "Listen, he's probably something special if he managed to come with us even skipping induction."
You uh, you could say that as you munch away at your ration of bread.
"<span class="mu-s">Naturals can't pilot a mobile suit, Period.</span> I don't beat on the weak but he doesn't belong with us." As he stated matter of factly you...
Felt like it was time to properly put your foot down over the implied abuse now that it started being more than a pass at a joke.
"What if I proved you wrong?" You chance up, taking a swig of a water bottle as he...
Chuckled.
"Hah! I wouldn't hold a candle on it, Mangy Dog." As he seemed to go his separate ways after putting you down in attempt.
You shrugged it off, to the surprise of McKenzie as he laid up.
"I can't really recommend picking a fight with Joule myself, but...-"

"<span class="mu-s">Give it a week.</span>"
McKenzie seemed confused at what you meant before you decided to look over at the table.
"Once I get some good time and hang on Simulation, I bet I could beat anyone from that table of his."
And Rusty for his part, just seemed to look as if you were boasting off too hard.
Maybe you were, but the sly smile creeping up on his face as you asked them who were the three best pilots in that group summed up his involvement.
"<span class="mu-s">Alright then, Skipping Nicol and Myself There's...</span>"
>Dearka Elsman. "He's about of a lower intensity level, but he's a really good shot, I'll tell you that">Yzak Joule "That's the guy that just tripped up with you, Really good at getting close">Athrun Zala "I'd personally tell you to look for another mark, He's the ace of the entire class but if you won..."</span>
