Project Enneyac

 

Scene Twenty Six

 

"Is this seat taken?"

 

En looked up with a mouthful of green pasta peppered with purple spices.

 

Who is this sod? She thought to herself.

 

 

She then looked around the cafeteria, where people were sitting at least a table or two away from her and focusing on their meals.

 

 

Ah well, what's the worst that can happen? She thought then shrugged before gulping down the pasta.

 

 

With her eyes focusing on the mountaneous loaves of wheat buns before her she continued to munch, not noticing the man continuously staring at her with faint interest through his jade green lensed scouter.

 

 

It was not until En started to wash down her breakfast with a jug of pulp-filled fruit juice that she realised that the man was still there.

 

 

"What do you want?" She said, cocking an eye brow as she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.

 

 

"You're not from around here are you?" Said the man.

 

 

Sitting before her was a relatively tanned man that was well built with several locks of hair parted to the side wearing a comfortably fitting light grey silken shirt.

 

 

"Yeah I'm from Sector 768, what do you want?" Said En, it had been nearly a week since she had been living in the accommodation reserved for the elites in training and despite being able to win a lot of tournaments through her skills, not one Saiyan approached and talked to her.

 

 

"I'm just impressed with your skills that's all, we've never had a third class trooper coming in here before." Said the man.

 

 

"Your point being?" Asked En, her eyes now fully focused on scrutinising him.

 

 

"Oh nothing, please don't take offence, it's just that I've never really thought a third class trooper would master many complex energy controls. Where did you learn them?" Asked the man.

 

 

En listened carefully to track any sense of sarcasm in his voice, when she could not find any she proceeded to answer him.

 

 

"I mastered them myself. I'm surprised nobody here use their energies carefully, I mean, so much energy wasted and you don't hit your target so what's the point?" Said En.

 

 

"From what I understand, the energies are predominantly used to destroy buildings and enemy lines, especially if you're in the infantry, so energy control in sophistication is not the main focus." Said the man.

 

 

"Hnn." Snorted En, who then proceeded to pick her teeth with a large fish bone.

 

 

"You know, they're going to put us into pairs for the first mission which also serves as a test, keen to work together?" Asked the man.

 

 

"Who are you again?" Asked En.

 

 

"Sorry I forgot to introduce myself, the name's Kob. And you are?" Said Kob, looking slightly embarrassed.

 

 

"Enneyac, and don't even think about shortening it, I won't hesitate to say that you got lost and was never found again." Said En as she sat up to bring her shoulders back with both of her palms down on the table.

 

 

"Wouldn't think of it, it's a beautiful name." Said Kob.

 

 

"Flattery will get you nowhere, just don't hinder me." Said En.

 

 

"That's the last thing I would ever do. Shall we get acquianted before the test tomorrow? I've seen some of your moves and would like to get familiar with them." Asked Kob.

 

 

"OK, but I'm not responsible for what you can't handle." Said En.

 

 

"No worries. Shall we meet here at 0700?" Asked Kob.

 

 

"Whatever." Said En as she stood up and left.
