𖤐 - he's just cute

"LET'S BEGIN THE FINAL TEST!"

Miyako and hoshina watched the screen from the operation room, kudos to the drones that are scattered inside the training ground of course. "Your targets are a honju and 36 yoju positioned in this wide-open training area modeled after an urban district." Her voice spoke in their earpiece, they listened intently as she continued explaining. "These kaiju claimed 16 victims in hachioji last year. We captured them alive to train the next generation of recruits." The examinees' gaze remained on the kaiju that waited for them below, everyone anticipated for the signal that they could run outside of the borders and onto the field. "You've each been assigned an auto-tracking drone, which we'll use to monitor your actions." The examinees glance at their drone, miyako took a deep breath before she continued. "If we determine your life is in danger, we'll activate your suit's shield remotely. Be aware that if we take that action, you've failed."

"To be frank," Hoshina spoke, placing a finger on his earpiece, taking the baton from miyako to give his warning to everyone. "We can't guarantee you'll make it out of this with your lives, but if you're prepared to take that risk, then..GET OUT THERE!" Hoshina gave them the signal, immediately running outside of the border and heading straight to the yojus' whereabouts, leaving the slow to eat their dust. "Good luck, everyone!" Miyako said before signaling okonogi to stream their live videos on the screen. Multiple recordings flash on the screen, her eyes immediately locating kikoru who was already running towards the kaijus that were spread around.

The platoon leader was obviously impressed, she wore a smirk as she watched the girl. Kikoru was, after all, the best talent in history. Knowing that she could surpass the platoon leader herself, she felt excitement running through her veins as she watched kikoru take down the yoju with just 3-4 hits. We love women supporting women.

"Yoju 12 down" "Yoju 03 down"

Kikoru took the yoju down like flies, the other examinees were barely keeping up with her as she wasted no time in showcasing her skills. Miyako smiled while watching kikoru, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear as she shifted her eyes towards ichikawa and kafka's screen. "Pfft-" She put a hand up to her mouth to not bother okonogi as she watched kafka bicker with ichikawa over the weapons being heavy and only a zero percenter could understand, a weird flex but get it I guess..?

"Oh, I forgot to mention!"

Miyako glanced to her side, knowing full-well who entered the operation room as the person went to her side. "Captain Mina Ashiro will be proctoring the final exam as well. Make sure to put on a good show for her!" The captain quietly stood next to the platoon leader, her arms crossed as she focused on the screen in front of her. She was dressed in the jakdf standard uniform and her combat suit was underneath the clothing.

Hoshina cut off comms as he made his way to miyako's side, leaning close to her ear as she felt his breath on her neck. "Which one do you have your eyes on?" He whispered in her ear in his usual cheerful tone, causing the girl to jolt away due to the close-proximity. "Ah..I guess kikoru and ichikawa, they have remarkable potential" Miyako answered, putting a hand on her ear to prevent hoshina from whispering in her ear again as his head tilted, wearing a smile as he opened his mouth once more.

"Hmm.. I'm pretty sure you just like ichikawa"

As soon as that sentence escaped from hoshina's mouth- the girl immediately pinched her vice-captain's side, putting more and more pressure on her fingers as she held his skin, causing him to wince in pain and inch away from her grasp. "O-Ow!"
