[Center][h2][color=teal]Mora Kingsly[/color][/h2] Training corps ---[/center] The sun beat down on the cadets. Mora could feel her skin flush and even the roots of her hair radiated warmth but none of that compared to the rage that suddenly lit when she watched Schulz drop Jade to the ground with a solid punch. Her fingers twitched as she fought the urge to deck the instructor. Jade had become very important to Mora after the fall of the wall. She had found her shortly after they had reached safety- while she searched for her parents but Jade came bearing other news. The girl had been there for her as she relayed the moments that led to Cain's death and the grief that followed when she found out from Lorren's neighbor that he and his wife had been with her parents; flush with excitement from their news. Mora would've had a niece or nephew by now. Cain might of finally asked Lauren out. So many dreams. So many lives- snuffed out. Mora didn't want to leave her friend under the merciless hand of the instructor but her response quelled the manic beating of her heart. She watched her rise back up with pride, holding fast to her convictions. Even still- a cadet raised his voice in concern. 'Sano' Mora didn't know him as well as the others but she silently noted down to thank him later for his bravery. However stupid it was. Schulz didn't waste time in his tirade of abuse as his made his way down the line. There was a thin thread of fear that coiled in her gut as he moved to meet her hard stare. What would the hard was have to say about her? There was a pause in time before his gruff hand shot out and gripped her face. Manipulating her head around as if he was inspecting a prized sow. Mora's hands balled in tight fists as she fought against every instinct before he finally let her go, [B]"I want everyone to take a good goddamn look at this recruit in front of me!"[/b] he looked around as a few of the recruits gingerly turned their heads, he sighed,[b] "USE YOUR USELESS BRAINS AND TURN YOUR GODDAMN HEADS YOU HALF WITS!" [/b]he barked at the group. After a moment all of the recruits save for the currently... Occupied recruits were looking at the short red haired girl in front of him. [B]"This pathetic piece of shit in front of me! This red haired short shit!"[/b] he called out to the formation. Her lips quivered as a smile threatened to over take. [B]"WILL GET YOU KILLED IF YOU ARE ON HER TEAM!"[/b] he proclaimed raising a hand to the group, [b]"She's got the fire burning in her eyes! A wild fire! The kind of fire that spells trouble for us rational thinking soldiers!"[/b] he took a step to her side, in order to be yelling just past her left ear, [b]"This kind of hot head will get everyone she fights a Titan with killed and won't be the wiser that it was her goddamn fault! Because I guarantee you!" [/b]he paused as he looked across the group, [b]"This is the IDIOT that will play hero and utterly fail! Because heroes do not win against Titans!"[/b] He stepped back in front of the girl, his expression grim, [b]"Soldiers do."[/b] he spoke to her. [B]"Why is it that a fucking aspiring hero would join my goddamn Cadet Corps?"[/b] he asked the red-headed cadet. The question churned in her head as she shoved past the first few smart ass remarks that begged to be said. He wasn't wrong, though. Mora knew her temper. She knew she would react without hesitation. She unfurled her fists and hardened her gaze before her, [color=teal]"To take back my town! To protect humanity!"[/color] her voice rang out with pure conviction. Her eyes slid from before the sky before her and landed square with his, [color=teal]"And to keep you from being eaten."[/color] Mora finished with a smile. She was sure the remark would cost her, but Mora didn't care. Each run. Each push up. Any punch or kick was just another step of training for her. She welcomed whatever abuse Schulz has lined up for her and she'd prove him and anyone else who doubted her wrong.
