Upon the end of the instructors brief overview of the course they would all be taking, Hitsugi's attention returned to the papers in front of him. It would appear as though he would need to complete the paperwork before things would start. A few students had completed it before him, but Hitsugi felt no rush to join them. In a way, he felt the survey to be a joke.

We're going to be the pride of Garden...not some throw away statistics. Just a waste of time..

Hitsugi thought to himself as he retrieved his own pen. Looking over the questions he thought through each question.


1) Why did you sign up for SeeD?

What kind of question is this?

He couldn't help but think.

Because SeeD is the best and that's what I am. I can't believe this is on here.

Hitsugi kept this in the back of his mind as he penned a less arrogant answer. He'd have to keep his frustration in check until he had a better grip on the thought patterns of those around him.

To make full use of the highest oppurtunity granted by the Balamb Garden Militairy Administration.

He jotted down in his red pen. It was a bit of OCD, but he was only known to use this coloring when he was frustrated or otherwise annoyed.

2) In your opinion, what is SeeD’s ultimate mission?
As a mercenary orginization, SeeD's only mission is to fulfill that specified by our employers to the very best of our abilities.

3) What do your look forward to during your training here at Balamb Garden?
I look forward to be able recieve the very best combat instruction available in the world.

4) What do you plan on getting out of SeeD?
I plan to recieve just that, the very best combat instruction in the world.

5) If SeeD is not your only intended career path, what else do you plan on aiming for?
Hitsugi didn't fill this question out because he didn't really feel a need to answer.

If they make me answer this I'm going to start wondering if I'm in the right place. Would I waste my time here if I hadn't planned on becoming a SeeD? Hitsugi lamented in his mind. He had always hated being led on to answer what others wanted him to hear.

After finishing Hitsugi placed his paper in the instructors basket. Walking back to his seat he decided not to go through the terminal. He had decided that there couldn't be any sort of drastic change in it now that he had become a SeeD candidate. He had lived in Garden all his life and new the system inside and out. He instead opted to converse in order to gain information. He looked in front of him, at the girl with the mask.

"S'cuse me miss?" He called out to her. "If I may be so bold, may I ask the reason you wear a mask if it's obvious to the world that you are beautiful?" Hitsugi inquired in a soft voice, muffled more by his own mask. There was a bit of hypocrisy to his question, but at any given moment his mask could come off. Her's had seemed latched on in some way, more mental than physical. She didn't strike him as one who needed to cover anything, but perhaps she would know best.
