O-Bin read the scores, her usual fixed smile on her face. It faltered.
"O-Siri and V-Obi, step forward."
Obi-Wan and Siri stepped forward.
"You have tampered with the data screen," she rapped out. "Ten punishment marks apiece -"
"Excuse me, Guide O-Bin." The soft-spoken girl named O-Iris spoke up. "V-Obi and O-Siri completed the course that fast. I saw them leap up on the durasteel wall."
"And I saw them navigate the twisting beam in only three seconds," another boy said. "No one has ever done that."
"They were already through the first lap while I was only a third through the first," someone else said.
O-Bin's smile disappeared. She cleared her throat. "I see. Well. Let us see if O-Siri and V-Obi can match their skill on the rec course with obedience in class."
She walked off quickly. The students lined up to follow. Many glanced at Obi-Wan and Siri, speculation in their eyes. Obi-Wan had not foreseen that their prowess on the rec course would gain them more attention. Obviously, no one had ever run the course so fast.
