The weeks after Erina arrived there training pick up very quickly as there where introduced    the simulators Large almost box like shape with

Steel steps leading up to the doors, "these are some of the best mech simulators you guy's will ever get to work with" Erina began to speak to

Her students "now the purpose of this exercise, is find your strengths and your weakness, so don't get Nervous."  The students used the


Simulator one at a time; it took at least two and a half hours for all of them to finish.  As The students to time to rest, Erina went over the stat
Sheet for each student, David had problems with coordination, Christine hesitated a little too much, Sayuri was showing signs of over

Confidents, John needed to be more observant to things around him, and Nozomi …well need a little confidents boost.

It was getting around 6:00pm and the sun began to set into gorgeous red horizon.  "Come on, Dinner is on me"   all at the same time, all five students jumped up eager to snag some chow.  

As they made their way to Erina's house, which was on Academy grounds, the setting sun made the trees and flowers    quite the sight to look at

As the red light set on them, David had to admit he really liked it here but there was one other thing he has notes   and that was John he has

Been quite since they got here, probably because he was around so much advance tech that he was speechless then again he was always  like

That back at home, every time a new gadget he would get that gleam in his eye and that seemed to be the case here but him being quite

He never stayed quiet for a long time, "guess I'll haft to talk to him later."

Erina's house was a comfortable and roomy   place with hardwood floors    and nice furniture that felt good after a hard day is training

"You guy wait here and I'll get us something"   the five where left in the living room    "I wonder what we did to deserve this?" Sayuri

Stated, the others nodded in agreement, they just started training just two weeks ago, and it was a bit odd that she invite them over

To her house for dinner, as time went on the wonderful smell of Spaghetti filled the air   "come on its reedy."

The fact that all six of them where sitting down eating and talking around a dinner table was rather surreal but David felt comfortable

With it, after done with their food Erina began to go over there test results and what they had to do to improve the five took

The results in good stride considering they could have done worse "Thanks for the dinner Erina, we enjoy it" Christine softly spoke

"Not at all Christine, I just wanted to know my students a little better."

The weekend came and went in a blink of an eye ….and it was Monday, today was sports day soccer to be exact although David did not

Play soccer that much but he knew the rules.  The large open grassy field behind the simulator building was perfect for today's

Game, the only down side was the instructor /referee named Randall shoots     a 45 year old heavy set man with broad shoulders a worn face

And a muscle bar mustache And had has problems with his blood pressure or at least that was the rumor.

The game started with no problems for the next 30 minutes every was going fine until    David accidentally hit Randall

In the face with the soccer ball, despite David's attempt to apologies he found himself running for his life from a very angry

  Randall.  Running over bushes and benches, David tried to put some distance from Randall but to no avail

"GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE RUNT!"  Randall yelled at the top of his lunges    as he plowed   through everything David just went over
,
"There are days you can't win for losing,"   David thought to himself as the gymnasium came to view a good place to lose this raging bull,

David was randomly running through the   halls of the gymnasium building hoping to lose Randall and to a point it worked   and that

Gave David time to catch his breath until he heard Randall angry voice echoing throughout the hall closing in on him     "oh give me break
"
David mumbled under his breath   "GLAD TO!"  The scream David gave out was loud enough so everyone in a around the gymnasium could hear as he barely

managed to get away from Randall's crushing grasp.

Sayuri was just out of the shower with a towel wrap around her when she here herd probably one of the loudest screams she has

Ever heard as the girls bolted for a hiding place thinking it might a pervert or something "hang tight I'll see what going on"

With that see peeked out the locker room door to see David trying to get out one locked exits   "David what on earth are you doing?"

He  did not reply as he seem to be preoccupied   on getting the door opened ,not happy with being ignored  she march out of the locker room with nothing   but her

  towel on as she put hand on David's shoulder  witch startled him  she could see that he was  very nervous    

"David what is wrong?"  He explained what happened with instructor Randall and why he was intent on beating him to a bloodily pulp

And before he could say anything else, the sound of    Randall's cussing and fussing was closing in on them.

Sayuri believed   David story but when Randall's angry, voice came echoing down the hall she really believed Randall would try to hurt

Him she had to think of something quick, and a idea hit her "come on" Sayuri grabbed David's hand and began to drag him

The  girls locker room ,this  made David's panic meter  explode   but before they entered  Sayuri  turned to   David  and told him to close his eye

And to put his hand in his pockets, David was not going to argue with her and did what he was told "don't worry I won't   let you bump into

Anyone" Sayuri assured him, and then went in.

The smell of steam and the sound of murmuring was all david could here   as Sayuri place her hands on his shoulders and guided him to

A safe hiding place in the locker room "now just sit down here and I'll let you know when it's safe" david just bobbed his head up and down in

Response Then Sayuri went off to explain to the other girls what was going on as david still could not believe where he was and that Sayuri

Would help him like this but was not the time to be picky.  "Blair!  Where are you little runt" the sound of Randall's angry ranting

Was beginning to worry some of the girls, until finely    the sound of other instructors talking down Randall and getting him out of the

  Building, Sayuri peek out the door  to see if the ghost was clear  and quickly went to get  David " that was a close  one now lest get you out of here"

So with his still shut and his hands in his pockets he was guided back to the door "I owe you one for this Sayuri" David said with a

Grateful voice "No Problemo …and you can open your eyes now" David did so and re traced his steps to find his way out.
