β You missed. β He says promptly after cleaning 02's clock with his fist so full of strength, it will be a miracle if he didn't loosen the android's bolts. Maybe he didn't miss, but Sett sure as hell did not feel a thing of what the Lancer had thrown his way. - @settdownβ
Yeah, this was still happening.
02 feels his jaw crack painfully as Sett slams his fist into his face, stumbling back and hitting the floor. He rubs his jaw through the ache that radiates through it, eyes watering faintly and attempting to stand back up. It hurts--godΒ everything hurts. Sett is a cruel, and vicious teacher, and thereβs very little mercy whenever he teaches him.
βTeachesβ. Itβs punishment, punishment for rebellion.
βFuck you,β 02 spits, as he pulls himself back up off the ground. The way people jeer and laugh at him, the way they point and mock every time he goes down, it only makes him angrier, and it only fills him with the conviction to fight harder. Even if itβs pointless, even if itβs fruitless, even if all he does is injure himself. He canβt give up, he wonβt give up--he refusesΒ to give up.
βCome at me one more time.β
