Transformer Academy (M! Reader)

Part 7: A Warrior's Passion

It was a Saturday afternoon. Most of the students at Transformer Academy were out in town, or some were in their dorm rooms or the library, following their usual routines.

But within the school's grounds, inside one of the large gyms, someone was training while muttering to herself about lessons on Physics and Philosophy.

It was none other than Optinessa Prime, the president of the Autogals, a beacon of justice and beauty.

Optinessa's POV:

"They all need me. I have to be strong for them."

I muttered as I continued my daily routine of 700 sword strikes. I was already at 600 and had no idea how long I'd been at it. While training, I was also memorizing and reciting philosophies for the upcoming quiz.

Sweat drenched my entire uniform, and my hands felt numb. I was panting heavily, the sound echoing throughout the empty gymnasium.

But I have to do this. I must do this. If not, who will stand up to the lowerclassmen? Who will protect my friends? Who will keep peace in the school?

"Ngh... focus. The Marxist approach... is the..."

I continued with my strikes and my strange method of studying, driven by my position as the president of the Autogals and my pride as a warrior.

"I have to be stronger for them... HAH!"

"I have to be stronger than HER... HYAH!"

I said through gritted teeth, exhaustion beginning to slow my movements as I raised my wooden sword above my head, ready for the final 700th strike.

"I have to protect hi-"

"Optinessa!"

. . . .

Y/N's POV:

Finally, thank god I finished studying. Ever since Soundwave revealed her true self to me and agreed to be my study partner with her perfect grades, I thought, 'Sweet! A cute girl is going to tutor me!' But... I didn't know her teaching methods were a bit stricter than I was used to with Optinessa.

I haven't seen Optinessa in a while. I wonder where she's been? She's always so busy with her duties as the president of the student council and the Autogals. Oh, and did I mention she's a top member of the school's kendo club? They hold yearly competitions against other schools, and they haven't lost a single one.

And apparently, Megatron is a member too. They're always battling each other to see who's the strongest fighter, or so I heard from Sam and the gang.

Walking through the school, it was already afternoon, and there was a nice breeze. It's a little lonely being by myself, but I sometimes forget how peaceful it is.

As I passed by the gym, I caught sight of a familiar figure-those unmistakable blue eyes from a silhouette-which made me stop in my tracks.

Peering through the slightly open doors, I was right. There she was-Optinessa Prime. And... wow, it looked like she was training and studying at the same time?

This is why I admire her-and why she's my first crush. God, I could watch her all day... but technically, that would be stalking, and I don't want to get in trouble. So I just walked in and, with a smile, called out her name.

"Optinessa!"

Optinessa's Pov

Just as I was about to land the final strike, someone called my name from behind, surprising me. But I already knew who it was. It was him. It was Y/N.
