I have a question. How come you have to be 15 or older to take the SeeD exams? I can keep up just fine in the big kids fighting classes and I already knew how to fight before I came here!

Oh, and I'm not 10 anymore. It's been more than a year since I got here so I'm 11 now.

Well, to begin with, people won't hire mercenaries who are ten years old.

They will so! Me and Noki were bounty hunters!

~Luki

[musagetes.livejournal.com]

Not here they won't.

[dangerousthings.livejournal.com]

They should! And besides, I'm 11 now!

[Clearly, this makes all the difference in the world to her.]

Wait... What? You have to be 15 to take the SeeD exam? This is nonsense! What's the point of attending this stupid school at all?

Hopefully, it'll break you out of that attitude.

Didn't you read the admissions/graduation info?

[worthyheir]

I read the letter I was given and the course book. Had I seen that I would waste my life away in this place, I would have left.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

So you didn't even look into the Garden rules?

Well, whatever. If you want to ignore vital information about the place you're staying in, that's your business.

[dangerousthings.livejournal.com]

I guess because we're stuck here anyway. But I don't think it's fair.

~Luki

[worthyheir]

That's an understatement. It's age discrimination, pure and simple. Age should not be a factor into how skilled we are, considering I'm stronger than some of these so-called seeD's already.

Maybe we should ask the Headmaster to let us take the exam anyway! If we can pass all the same things the big kids can, then we should be allowed to take the next SeeD exam.

But my body heals up right away and I'm good at it. Of course I should fight!

[Touchy subject here, can you tell]

[dangerousthings.livejournal.com]

My whole childhood was fighting, Instructor Todd. I'm one of the Invincible Luki Noki twins! We were even bounty hunters.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Probably a few reasons, really. Most of them boring ones, like how SeeDs require a varied skillset rather than just fighting ability. You need more emotional maturity, not just the ability to fight well.

That, and here, they'd rather kids be kids.

[dangerousthings.livejournal.com]

I was a bounty hunter back home. I'm really good at tracking and finding people. So I already can do more than just fight.

~Luki

[monkingaround.livejournal.com]

I don't get it either. But I guess it means we're stuck here for the next few years.

You know what would be schway? If we talked to the Headmaster and he said we could take the exam early!

~Luki

[monkingaround.livejournal.com]

Do you really think that would work?

I've been here since last June. But it's okay. It's not so bad here. I just wish Noki was here, too.

Even 15 is very young to fight. Besides, missions aren't that fun.

[dangerousthings.livejournal.com]

I bet they're more fun than school.

~Luki

[adewdropbright.livejournal.com]

Hm, that would depend on both the mission and you. The tougher ones are more challenging than fun.

And, sometimes school gets a little more fun as you grow up.
