Bent Fate (An Arknights Fanfiction)

Chapter 14

It's been an hour since the last tests concluded, Franka was taking a break just outside the training facility.

On one hand she had a cold slurpee brought by Liskarm not too long ago while she had her phone with the other hand. Her vouivre coworker was still inside helping out in analyzing test results.

She had the browser open on her phone again, getting courage from how the three BlueWing operators have performed earlier, she once again decides to look it up.

Scrolling down the list of articles allowed for the public while sipping from a straw slowly.

"What is that?"

Franka stopped sipping as soon as the familiar voice from behind her stopped speaking.

Looking at the vouivre defender, she immediately notices aside from the documents she carries close to her abdomen, the face that lacks any happy emotion and excitement. This made Franka giggle mentally, the urge to make fun of her partner when she's in a bad mood is strong, but manageable.

"Nothing." Franka answered while slipping the phone down the pocket of her skirt. She faces the vouivre. "What are those?"

"Final results. For Doctor to see."

"Wait a minute, there are only three of them."

"Oh." Liskarm, confused, looks down at the documents in her hands.

"Good work."

"Same to you."

"Of course, I'm always doing a great job~"

She let's out a sigh. "Let me just inform them."

Liskarm turns around and walks back inside.

Franka finds a metallic trash bin not far away and disposes her now empty slurpee cup. She runs after Liskarm and joins her.

"What do you think about them?" Franka asks as she crossed her arms on her back.

"Them?"

"Yes."

"What I think about them..." Liskarm slightly tilts her head up. "They're okay. Very competitive. Fast reflexes."

Franka hums at every description the latter is giving.

"There's even this one girl that reminds me of Jessica."

Franka's eyes widen when she heard it.

"No way... Jessica is at the dorm right now!" She yells out.

Overreaction is obvious. People around who heard Franka as much as Liskarm definitely turned their heads.

Franka covers her mouth. "Do you think she actually managed to buy the prototype of a teleportation device?"

As much as she looks excited and amazed, her partner is not.

"I meant the girl's attitude, anxious, low confidence." Liskarm answers her seriously. "Your dumb acting isn't needed. You are already dumb."

"That just means I'm so good at it, you actually believe it!" Franka giggles.

They reached Dobermann, who is one of those who oversaw the tests as they were conducted. Now she's getting busier, supervising both the trainees and the trainers.

She stares at the two Blacksteel employees as they get closer.

"Sorry to interrupt, but we just realized.." Liskarm started, showing the documents to Dobermann. "... there were only three of the BlueWing employees with test results. We are missing one of them."
