Isko did it on purpose.
Not because he was nervous, or misunderstood the orders.
He had enough of Link Grande's high and mighty, domineering attitude.
He was even more fed up with Lanny Taylor's meek compliance, catering to Link Grande in every way.
After all, he was Isko Alex, possessing intermediate fifth rank qualification, and was the fifth in his grade.
Despite trying to woo her, Lanny Taylor remained aloof.
Except for when she needed him to do something, she never had much interaction with him.
Compared to how she treated Link Grande, the disparity irked Isko.
No matter who he faced or what happened, his opinions were always ignored.
Not once or twice, but every single time.
Yes, he admitted, he had ulterior motives.
But his intentions were never targeted at Lanny. He just wanted to prove himself, to earn some respect.
Besides, he was against forming a team with Link Grande from the start, vehemently against it.
