Diana

All the anger bubbling inside Diana dissipated as she listened to Aroma. She hasn't thought about all that for a while now.

She recalled how she got warned about this from the beginning and let out a deep sigh.

"Get yourself stronger instead of whining. Do you understand?" Aroma asked after explaining few things to her.

Diana nodded her head in understanding. "I'm not taking the day off anymore." She said. Looking up at Aroma, "I want to do something." She added.

Aroma felt like it's better, at least she will get to escape her thinking, but she isn't in the mood for teaching her fighting now as she isn't clear headed; which might lead to her hurting Diana unknowingly.

With that in mind, she asked her to follow her. They were already at the door when Diana squinted her eyes, "hum.. you're going out in that?" she asked, as Aroma still had her pajamas on.

'F*ck!" Aroma cursed in her mind and excused herself to change into another outfit.

They headed towards the shooting practice Hall, where Aroma made her understand that there's an instructor who will put her through the necessary process. How to dismantle and operate rifles, as well as how to create explosive devices and the material that could be used, based on the situation she found herself in.

But it's the only thing she could come up with that wouldn't require them having much issues and also for Diana to still take her break from too much stress.

They both entered the same booth, where the man in charge of the section delivered pistols and sets of bullet to them.

She passed her an ear cover and began guiding her through the process.  Diana couldn't believe she's holding a gun, a real gun.

She felt excited. She has totally forgotten those people that angered her. Looking at Aroma who didn't cover her; she was about to take it off as well, when Aroma shout at her. She could already tell what was gonna come out of Diana's mouth next.

She surely wanted to do it without covering too. Diana did as told and listen carefully, as Aroma moved behind her and help her position her hands in the right place, using an unloaded gun as practice, which Diana kept pulling the trigger unknowingly.

Not rushing her; she carefully repeated the process over and over again, "hold it firmly."

"No! no! move your thumb away from there."

"Don't pull the trigger yet."

"F*ck! No!"

Aroma is nearly losing her mind after a while, as Diana kept overdoing or stubbornly holding the gun like she watched the artist do on television.

Aroma kept blowing out steam and shaking her head. This personality of hers will only help her after she's strong, but for now, it will only get her in trouble.

To Diana; it seem easy, but the way Aroma kept taking it slow with her is boring her, as she couldn't wait to pick up the loaded ones and shoot for real.

Aroma took a deep breath, took off Diana's ear cover, pass her a loaded pistol and pointed toward the target opposite them at a far distance; "give it a go!" she said and step aside.

Without realising what Aroma had in mind, Diana excitedly aimed at the target, her eyes glowing as she stares at the wooden target carved in a human shape, while Aroma had a smirk on her face, waiting to enjoy a show.

Diana had not even prepared to shoot, but based on how she didn't heed to Aroma's instruction on how she should keep her finger off the trigger; she mistakenly fired unprepared.

Bang! Diana drop the gun immediately, reaching her hands to cover her ears that kept ringing and making her head hurt, her heartbeat racing fast as she was so shocked and nearly had a mini heart attack.

She couldn't control her body that kept shaking and sat on the floor; raising her knees to her chest level and shut her eyes, while she still kept her hand covering her ears.

"Get up!" Aroma growled.

Diana recalled she's not alone immediately and look up at her, before she could protest, "get up!!" Aroma growl once again.

Diana began shivering as she got on her feet. "Now let's start all over." Aroma said and pass her the ear cover once again, moved behind her and began teaching her all over again, ignoring her body that was shaking.

....

Meanwhile, Nathan who still remained locked up in his room, still finding it hard to believe that he really did what he did despite his morality and absolute self control; received news that the girl SB who went on a mission a few weeks ago killed.

He returned to his senses immediately.

...

Diana who had finally succeeded in the shooting practice after calming down a little got into her room, feeling exhausted.

It's already dinner time, but she couldn't go to the cafeteria as she felt like an idiot after Aroma's explanations.

She hasn't fully settled down when she heard, "everyone come out to the main field." She looked towards the direction the voice came from, and saw a mini sound stereo she had no idea even existed glued to an angle on the wall of her room.

She looked messed up from the fight she had earlier, but felt better after getting the hang of the shooting a little. She quickly had her bath and changed her clothes before heading toward the field where everyone was already present.

She was stunned by the number of people she met there and couldn't believe all those people are staying within this camp.

She couldn't even locate her roommates, as they were lots of people and quietly stood behind them.

"We lost SB today!" Diana didn't know who talked, but the name SB made her widened her eyes in horror.

She recalled seeing the girl left a few weeks ago and now, she isn't coming back.

There were murmurs among the trainees until "let's have a moment of silence for the deceased." everyone went silent immediately and lowered their heads while a voice of a woman was heard after, praying.

Diana couldn't sleep all through the night, but her roommates did, which surprised her. She didn't know the next day will be worse.

Everyone has returned to their former self, but weren't chatting happily like before. Diana didn't see Fatty when she woke up, but after changing into her training outfit and stepped out; she saw Fatty dressed up beautifully in an orange off the shoulder carribean long gown with blue polka dot designed all over it. Her hair beautifully made.

She had a suitcase in her hand, just like SB did when she was leaving. Diana felt her head hurt as a thought crosses her mind, "no way!" She exclaimed as she ran towards her.

Fatty felt a movement from behind and look back, only to meet with Diana tear filled eyes. Diana saw her face clearly and couldn't believe she's this beautiful, as the makeup makes her look very cute and catchy, but that isn't the reason she ran up to her.

"Are you okay?" Fatty asked, with her normal tone.

"Where are you going? Don't tell me you're also going for a mission or something." Diana spoke up.

"The mission needs to be executed, and I'm selected for it since SB didn't managed to execute it before she died." Fatty said.

"Tell them you don't wish to do it! this is insane!" Diana growled.

"Why wouldn't I want to do it? It's my profession." She replied nonchalantly.

"What!" Diana was surprised by her reply.
