The Pandora And The Spartan (Spartan II x Freezing)

Spartan Protects The Queen

Jace POV

After sleeping in my suit I put my helmet on and get a lay out of West Genetics by walking around. But wearing a titanium alloy suit and towering over most people got me some weird looks. The boys, well most of them were intimidated by my height and the news that I beat Ganessa. The girls more or less had the same reaction, but among them were girls who looked interested in me. I didn't mind either side. Until the bell ringed, which meant, Lunch Time, so I walked over to the Cafeteria at my own pace.

But when I got there, it is very different than what I am used to. And my presence also turned heads because of my appearance. Then a girl approached me, despite my appearance. 

Kaho: Hey there! I'm chairperson Kaho Hiiragi. Nice to meet you. 

Jace: I am Spartan Jace-157. 

She immediately gives me a weird look.

Kaho: Alright your social skills need work. What not just say "I am Jace" instead?

I merely stare at her through my visor before shrugging. So I look at the wide array of foods at everyone's disposal. 

Jace: This is very different than what I'm used to. 

Kaho: Oh treatment like this is only natural. As students of Genetics, the future of the human race depends on us. Well, and you too. 

Jace: That's right. 

I take a better look at my surroundings and see a large line leading to a place called "Burger Queen."

Jace: Big line. 

Kaho: Burger Queen. You have to pay, but it's the most popular item. Even though it's high calorie. 

I tilt my head at her because of the name Burger Queen.

Kaho: Wait. You're saying you don't know what it is?

Jace: Yes.

Kaho: And next  you're going to tell me you don't know what fast food is...

Jace: Yes.

Kaho: ...You're kidding right. 

Jace: No.

Kaho: Well then... That's a new one...

The next thing I know I'm sitting at a table next to Ms. Hiiragi, and I didn't get anything to eat. 

Kaho: Aren't you going to eat?

Jace: Didn't see anything I liked.

Kaho: And... what do you like exactly?

Jace: ...Nuts. Bolts. Microchips. 

I turn to her staring at me at my poor attempt at humor. 

Jace: That was a joke. 

She stares at me for a moment before breaking the silence.

Kaho: ...It's a start I guess??

I face forward again until she talks to me about the other day.

Kaho: I saw you yesterday by the way. The way you moved, the way you fight, and your physical capabilities. I've heard about Spartans, but never saw one in action until yesterday. How many of you are there?

Jace: 33. Including me.

Kaho: Huh, not many of you huh?

Jace: No.

Kaho: You must be fun in parties. 

I look at her after that phrase. 

Kaho: It's an expression. Okay, can I ask you a question?
