Jane's POV

"You will start with practicing how to shoot. It's simple really. Just unlock the safety lock, and aim. Then you pull the trigger." Lara says, looking at me. I nod, still staring at my gun. It is grey, but there are some parts which are black. I look at my target 50m away from me. I unlock the safety lock, and aim towards the bullseye.

Should I shoot now? I look at Lara, and she is somehow looking at me expectantly. Lol, I should tell her to not get excited since I am not really good in anything.

"Don't get your hopes up please. I just might be a huge disappointment." I say, gulping. She shrugs me off and tells me to continue. I nod, and flex my index finger. I stretch my neck, and then aim again.

Here goes nothing.

I shoot. And I fall back so hard that I shriek in pain. I touch my ass in pain.

"Owww..." I wince, not opening my eyes. Lara runs to me and gives me a hand. I get up, not even bothering to look at the target. I feel as if I broke a bone. Why does it hurt so much? People in the movies don't fall down or anything. How uncool. I guess I don't have any talent. I give my gun to Lara, and walk away.

Next up was choosing a decent weapon for myself. I got 3 options. A dagger, a katana, and a scythe. I looked at them, and then wondered which one would suit me. The katana perhaps? I always take the katana in Persona 4 Golden, so maybe I should take that now as well.

Yes, I did play Persona 4 Golden, even though I am a girl.

But, does it suit my character?

What about the scythe? It's big, with a curved blade at the end. Will I be able to use it? Don't think so. Unless I am super strong, I can't use it.

Guess it's the dagger after all? I take  two daggers, and look at them. Can I decorate them? I think I can. That would be so cool! I'll etch my own name on it.

"Wise decision. You considered your physique to choose which weapon was ideal for you." Lara says, nodding.

"Thank you." I say, looking at the daggers I just received. How do I use them? In MMORPGs, I already know how to use the weapon even before I choose them, since it's a freaking game but this shit is real. How do I use them? I have no clue. I touch the blade, and the sharpness surprises me. It's freaking real! Ugh, why can't the realism get inside my head? It IS real.

But the thing is...

I don't really care.

It's still not interesting enough.

What's the point of working hard for something I don't even care about? I don't want to waste my energy learning combat.

Wait............. As far as I remember......

I never had a dream.

Not the type of dream which comes after we sleep, but the interest in something.

I don't have ambitions, nor interests. But, a dream makes a person whole right? An ambition or a goal is necessary, or else we get damn distracted by everything.

I sigh as I walk around school the next day. A dream.....huh. What am I interested in? Anime? Games? Food? Books?

Sure I do have a soft spot for books, but only the fiction kind. I don't like the non fiction genre. I read books to escape reality so if the book talks about the real world, then what's the use for me reading a book? That's what I think. I am kind of hardcore—

"Hello Jane." A voice from behind speaks.

I look back, startled. It is our History teacher. I look around, and see that I'm already in the first floor of our school. Wow! How did I come here so quickly?
Well, the training ground is right under the school. In the basement.

I smile at my History teacher, and give a slight bow.

"Good evening sir." I say, since I started training after the school ended. It's always so awkward when I meet my teachers after school hours. I look at my watch, and it's 1923 hours.

"What are you still doing in school? You live far away right? Go home and rest for tomorrow." He says, smiling kindly.

"Yes, I was thinking of going back home today." I say, sighing slightly. I really am tired today. Maybe I'll skip school tomorrow.

I think I missed my bus. The next bus is at 8:30 pm, and then I need to use another bus. Ugh.

"Do you want me to drop you off?" He says, smiling and slightly tilting his head. "You seem tired."

"Oh no! Please do not trouble yourself with me! I can go home by myself." I hurriedly say. "Really! Don't worry about me."

"No. It's improper to let a lady go out alone at a time like this. I have a car, so I insist." He says, patting my head. "Follow me."

I nod, and follow him. As I look at his back, I can't help but think that he is an angel. OMG HE SAVED MY LIFE BIG TIME! I feel so happy that I can cry!

By his back, I didn't mean his ass. Just clarifying.

He obviously isn't a bad person! I definitely don't think he is. Plus he is a gentleman! To actually offer lil old me a ride.... He is not like the other teachers.

He brings me to his car, and I just stare at the car, awestruck. It's.....it's......beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ITS A WHITE AUDI R8 DAMMIT!
I drool at it's sight, and kind of smirk in a creepy way. Did I do something amazing to deserve this? I don't think I did.

"Aren't you getting in?"

My head snaps towards my teacher, and he is holding the door to the passengers seat for me. He looks at me, confused. I nod enthusiastically and rush inside the car.
