Mana: Before The Rise - Chapter 308

When fresh new face Lucy Hale, walked in, people literal stopped to look. Lucy was a beautiful young girl that could make it as a professional model. She was dressed in her southern outfit jeans boots and a plaid top. But that did not stop her figure making the boys pause in their tracks. This attention was something she was used to, so she shrugged it off.

Gaze wanted to Gag, in front of her is the book version of the story and she was reading the exact same seen. The female lead walks in nervously and she was completely normal, it didn’t mention that anyone was looking at her. So, walking into the school like a super model is normal for her. ‘What the F***’

This is way some stories are better-off in a book rather then in real life. The Female lead is supposed to have average looks, but your crazy if you call this average looks.

At this point Gaze mood went sour, she turned away. To see the male lead staring at her, ignoring the gorgeous super model that walked in. The female lead of course notice the male lead like in the book, and blushed as she looked away.

The male lead, however, didn’t even glance in her direction and just gave Sarah a sad expression. This made Gaze fell a little unsettled, he reminded her of Marlowe.

Gaze turned her face away from the male lead and back into her locker. She had long assessed the true nature of the female lead and sure enough a girl will be a girl. Her interest in the male lead stems that he was just as good-looking as her. He also didn’t even put her in his eyes.

All in all she is the prime example of a women’s whose pride was irked because a bit gave her no attention.

Well, in the end it doesn’t matter as she just has to continue on until the story is over. She observed the heroine quietly and her attempts to act cute and innocent inf front of the male lead. The ultimate difference between the book and what she is seeing it the same two-faced female lead.

Somehow reminds her of her stepmother.

After watching the female lead’s antics all day, she goes to her karate lesson’s after school. The lesson itself was so mediocre it was Appalling. Sarah memories glorified the dojo, but all the teachers where phonies, they knew some things. Gaze decided to her was going to drop this class and look for another dojo. To study from, Gaze walked up to the teacher.

A few minutes later, she walked out with a twitched expression, the teacher did not even ask for a reason. Just shrugged his shoulders and told her to leave and that he will not return the money for this period.

Gaze sighed inwardly, when she paused, the Dojo was in a strip map type place. She saw men dressed in uniform walk into a place a few stores down. Curiously she walked to large poster, After a moment of reading she truly was interested. She walked into the place, and up to the dark-skinned women at the front desk.

“Yes, how may I help you?” The women said politely.

“I want to join; how do I do that?” Gaze asked. The women’s eyes brighten, Gaze understood that they do not get many people who want to join the military in this town. She stands up just as an older gentleman walks out of his small office.

“Don’t worry I’ll take care of her.” He said and then looked to Gaze. She sat down across from him in the corner office. “I’m Sergeant First Class Tanner.”

“I’m Sarah Michael.”

“Why do you want to join?” He asked, it might be a formality.

“To answer, it because I don’t what I want to be when I grow. I do love martial arts, but it is a hobby not a career.” Gaze began to answer honestly.

The Older man lifted is eyebrow and then asked, “How old are you?”

“I’m Seventeen and a senior in high school” Gaze took out her ID.

“A minor, huh, and you graduate this coming Spring.”

“Yes, Sir.”

“Alright, You going to need a parents signature since you are still technically a minor. When do you turn eighteen?”

“Next year, on August 28th.”

“Oh, Happy belated birthday.” He said in surprise and then smiled, “You said you love martial arts, right, we have a program that will allow our Young recruits to go if they are interested.”

Gaze’s eyes brightened, before it dimmed. “Its not the dojo next door, is it.”

“God No, that place is awful.”

Gaze snorted, “You said parents’ permission, yes, what if my parent refuses.”

“Well, you can wait until you eighteen for you to sign legally or we can write a memorandum for you and send you to Basic Training right after High school. You would Ship during the summer to basic training.”

“My father and I are not close, so, I don’t know what his opinion would be? I would like to leave as soon the summer I graduate. I would also like to attend young recruits’ program and get into the martial arts classes.”

The older man smiles.
