Eternal Courage

Chapter 9: Insecurities

It was the morning of the next day. Today was the day of the selections for the representatives of the Green B.U.S academy. Saku was coming out of Ms Reapa's room with Sophie waiting outside. Saku came out wearing his bio-duelling glove "well...that was odd"

"why what happened?" Saku's glove simply vanished into thin-air

"Well...she said she wanted to analyse the data recorded in my glove"

"Did she say why?"

"not really. Well come on then"

With that the two began walking along "well today is the selection for the reps of Green B.U.S" said Saku "I don't really fancy my chances to well"

"don't think like that. I'm sure you have as much chance" said Sophie encouragingly

"nah. I don't think so" said Saku "I don't think I'm ready yet anyway. I mean...it's only being a short time since I started. If anything I think you'll get picked"

"You...think so?" she asked

"Of course I do. I mean you're skilled, strong" she appeared embarrassed "I'm sure you'd do great if you were picked" she then seemed to be unconfident

"Yeah...I'm sure I'd be alright" Saku detected her tone but before he could ask the bell chimed "Oh it's lesson time come on Saku" she began to ran ahead leaving Saku to ponder

"For a moment there...nah. Hey wait up"

The class started to begin with all the students gathered but strangely Ms Reapa hadn't turned up yet. Anastasia found this odd "I wonder what's taking the teacher so long?"

"Yeah" said Saku "Especially since she's the one who so diligent and strict on attendance" just then Ms Reapa appeared

"all right Class settle down. I apologize for my lateness but I come with news"

Ms Reapa had in her hand a clip-board "on this board are the list of people I believe will best represent this academy. However you should know this before-hand. When your name is called out, you from now-on will be the chosen member to represent this academy. Details of fighting and challenges will be brought forth at a later date" Ms Reapa cleared her throat and spoke "Alright let's begin with the seven representatives, Jason Moores" some of his girl fans applauded "Aureline Dawn and Marina Tydes" they both nodded "Mia Anslette" Mia gave a small smile "Anastasia Michaels and Sophie Brown" Saku looked very happy for the two

"congratulations you two. Nice one" Sophie forced a smile

"it...looks like you were right Saku" said Sophie as Saku also then turned to Anastasia

"I'm a...chosen representative?" her expression looked that of worry rather than happiness which perplexed Saku.

Ms Reapa then put the clip board down "and those are the chosen representatives" Marina then put up her hand

"Excuse me Ma'am. You said seven representatives but you only called out six"

"There are...complications with the final representative. We are still waiting for their permission on being able to take part. Now let us proceed with the lesson" as Saku returned to studying he was in thought

I didn't think I'd get picked. Oh well, this time next year then I'll be ready. he then looked between Sophie's and Anastasia's face. but...for some reason these two look like they don't want to be picked. I don't get it. Ms Reapa noticed Saku looking between them and thought
