Day 2- Dragon boy

Fafner woke up feeling better since he was on a spaceship which was better than being in a small room of white walls for two years as he quickly took a shower and got ready also wearing the black clothes given to him. He exited the living space seeing Misha exiting at the same time but Misha completely ignores his presence and walks past him. Fafner looked at him and couldn't help but wonder why he seemed so cold and closed off.

Well it doesn't really matter

He thought as he also made his way to the cafeteria to see everyone already there as they were all about to have breakfast. Their food was sent to them by robots who immediately left after performing it's basic tasks, Armel happily slid up to Fafner's side.

"Hey Faf can I call you that?..... or Fifi? Yeah Fifi sounds better to me too" she said as she quickly swallowed down all the food on her plate as Fafner slowly ate his food in boredom, half listening to Armel and also half ignoring her at the same time. As she was blabbering on about various things  Du-ho came around and sat opposite to the two of them as Armel gave her attention to him.

"Hi I'm Armel and this is Fafner nice to meet you"she salutes while the latter mentioned gives a nod to him. Du-ho smiles friendly at the two of them - mostly at Armel -

He's probably made his goal on this ship to get in a relationship

Fafner thought in slight disgust of imagining the horrid scenes that may occur if the two people beside him hooked up, he wasn't sure but he just had a feeling that they'd be the type to make out continuously openly when they had the chance

If it gets to that point I may have to take one of them out

He secretly hoped it didn't ever get to that point for he probably wouldn't be able to bear all the guilt that would eat him up from the inside out. He quickly finished off with his food before getting up and leaving his tray on the table with the other two chatting with each other. When he was finally in his room he changed into his spacesuit and left to the deck of the ship and saw the twins speaking to themselves while he just went to his seat at the weapons while waiting for the other members of the ship

Minutes later and finally everyone comes in with Kika coming in last.

"Hello again everyone, today is the day when your mission will officially start" Skeld says as the screen in front of them changes; there were tasks about various things like clearing asteroids, downloading files, fixing wires and many more. "For the remainder of your stay every morning you will be put into a general workout session, for your tasks you will have them every weekdays, weekends will be breaks from the tests".

The Skeld's speech went on for a long time as she was also informing the crewmates of the restricted areas and regulations on the ship. After waiting for a very boring hour later she said to them a farewell as her voice dimmed down to a mum, coincidentally the ship neared a field of asteroids as panic immediately settled into everyone's mind as they all quickly ran to their stations as Fafner manned the weapons.

A task flashed on the screen of his space helmet that said clear 20 asteroids as the spaceship was approaching the asteroids rapidly. Fafner immediately started shooting when he saw asteroids of too close proximity next to the ship as the other crewmates controlled the ship well enough to evade the nearby asteroids after a little over thirty minutes Fafner accurately hit 20 asteroids but they were still in danger so he had to continue with the brutal task, after another while of relentless shooting and continuous drifting the ship finally left the asteroid field and Fafner completed his first task.

Fafner slightly released a breath  as he looked around him when he saw Armel giving him a big thumbs up, he would probably be able to see her wide smile if her brown helmet wasn't covering her face. The exhausted crewmates pulled of their helmets as it suddenly felt very claustrophobic in them. They all heaved in relief of seeing no casualties to the Skeld as Skeld's robotic voice sounded again in supposed joy.

"Congratulations you have passed the first half of your tasks today which lacked heavily in teamwork but not in proficiency" Skeld says as another task shows up on the screen of their helmets to swipe ID cards at admin.

Sounds easy

The contrast in the two missions took Fafner aback slightly as the crewmates went into the admin with their given ID cards. They got in a queue with Fafner second to the last looking around in boredom, finally when it was his turn he quickly swiped the card which the machine responded with a too fast he tried again but slower but the machine gave the same response, the members of the ship who were waiting behind looked at him weirdly as he tried it repeatedly still ending up in total failure. Fed up with seeing a grown man fail a simple task over and over again Misha who was behind him quickly snatched away the card from his grasp before perfectly executing the task for him and returning his card to him. Fafner felt flustered and really dumb on top of it so he quickly thanked Misha before walking away to a corner as he could see the mirth in his other crewmates eyes as he internally cringed and walked away from the machine faster like it was the grim reaper.

Misha let out the smallest smile as he completed his card swipe in one go, the crewmates then went back to their quarters as Misha couldn't help but think back to a few minutes ago and think of Fafner to be cute before quickly stripping and wearing his casual clothes and leaving for the cafeteria.

Fafner also entered the cafeteria and spotted Armel who was waving widely at him from a table her the twins and Du-ho were sitting at.

*Sigh* why does this girl have to be so extroverted

Slouching his back slightly he solemnly walked towards the table sitting beside Terra

"Nice to see you again if you don't remember I'm Terra and this is my sister Tekla" she said as her sister gave a nod to him not really paying attention Fafner responded with a hello and looked away before Armel started talking to everyone at the table about what happened earlier events that happened "The first task we had today was way easier than the second but I guess for Fafner it's the opposite" she laughed in pure bliss as Du-ho chuckled while still looking at Armel with love filled eyes and the twins - only Terra - laughing along with her. Fafner scoffed at Armel's words as he was quick to defend himself.

"It was harder than it looked okay plus I was still running on adrenaline from shooting so many asteroids" Fafner refuted looking at Armel with hatred.

"It was so romantic when Misha came to your rescue" she continued as she swooned looking at Fafner as he clenched his fists in slight anger. Fafner's tail moved up swaying sideways lightly.

"Nice tail dragon boy" Tekla commented as the table laughed again. Fafner damned his tail to hell as it showed his flustered emotion, he angrily got up and walked away to his room leaving the table in an awkward silence. As soon as he walked into his foom his fist almost collided with the metal wall before he stopped himself taking a slow breathe in and out.

Control your anger before before you do something you'll regret

He thought as he took a cold shower to pacify himself before he decided to not leave his room until the next day.

The killing can wait till tomorrow
