Third Person POV

It had been a day since Juvia had entered the Military. She met everyone and almost all of them liked her. But it wasn't because of the way she acted. They all thought she had a nice body and she was cute, that was pretty much it. Juvia knew that, that's why they liked her. She was gonna show them that woman weren't all just for staring at. She was gonna show them how strong a woman could be. How smart a woman could be. And how caring a woman could be all at once. But this couldn't all be done in one day. It would take a while.

She woke up the next morning from the bells ringing very loud. The first thing on the schedule was training, already. Since she was a girl she had her own little room in the secret base. She quickly changed into her uniform and headed out to go train. When she got to the firing range (she needed to go train there first) everyone was there. She listened to the directions that Lieutenant General Mystogan was giving. They had to pick a gun and try to shoot at the middle of the target, which was wood cutout of a person. Juvia let all the boys go first. Natsu, Gray, Gajeel, Elfman and Laxus, from the Fairy Tail group went, first. Of course knowing them, they all grabbed the big guns. They all did very well…. Except Natsu and Gray… They fought over the same weapon, and bullets went everywhere, making them clean up the mess. Next was the Sabertooth group. Sting, Rogue, Roofus, and Dobengal. They did great. They had some people shoot right in the middle of their targets. Then it was a couple more groups and it was finally Juvia’s turn to shoot. She grabbed a pistol and reloaded it.

“Are you sure you want that?” Lieutenant General Mystogan asks. Juvia nods.

“Of course.” She replies and walks up to shoot. “It’s all I need to do this,” She mumbles as she aims her gun at the target. There were 6 targets so she would have to shoot all of them. All the boys watched her intently. Waiting for her to shoot. The silence was broken when someone shouted an insult.

“You shouldn’t even try girly. You’re never gonna-” That someone was cut off by 7 gun shots. Where was the 7th gun shot fired at? The man who dared to underestimate Juvia stood there shocked. He was scared to death. A bullet had blown right past his head and right into the wall behind him. Everyone looked back at the targets. She missed the middle completely.

“Well. Looks like you’re not as good as we thought,” Roofus, from the Sabertooth group says. Juvia set the pistol on the table and wiped her uniform/skirt off.

“You might wanna check again,” She says, grinning at all the men. They all turn back to the firing range.

“You’ve gotta be kidding me.” Elfman says.

“How do you even do that!?” Natsu shouted. All the targets had been shot in the same place. Right in the middle of the head.

“The person won’t die right away if you shoot the stomach. But they will if you shoot the head. So, that's where I shot.” She says.

“Ah. So you only shot there because you thought of it as a real life situation.” Lieutenant General Mystogan says

“Yes, sir,” She says.

“Well I have to applaud you on that but don’t ever friendly fire like that again,” Lieutenant General Mystogan warns her.

“It won’t happen again,” She bows to him a little. All the other soldiers snickered at her. She replied back at them with a scowl.

“Alright, alright, no more of this. Time for close combat training,” Lieutenant General Mystogan orders. “I will pick partners for you,” They all nod. Juvia waited for her to be paired up. She ended up with, again, a person who underestimated her. His name was Sting. Juvia stood across from him and they were about to start practicing.
