Rui
With only a month to go before deployment, Rui was working the hardest she'd ever worked in her life. She'd spent so much time on her correspondence curriculum, she barely got to hang out with Ehuang outside of training.
Getting out of secondary school was supposed to be a treat, but now that she was a Lieutenant, Zai had gotten even more emphatic about how Rui needed to shape up her studies so she could do more than just fight out there.
At long last, however, Amri had proctored the final exam for Rui's "graduation" from secondary. Rui had to sit through three tests in a room empty of everything but Amri, a desk, and a clock that drove her up the wall.
