Phys Ed; Thursday, First Period [09/07].
Call him crazy, but Gladio was thinking it felt pretty good to be back in the gymnasium again. Maybe it was just the promise of another semester of subjecting hapless victims students to at least an period's worth of physical activity each week. Maybe it was just that persistent aroma of plastic mats and stale sweat and the promise of squeaking tennis shoes on the gym room floor, but he was feeling pretty psyched to get started.
He'd even gotten a shiny new whistle for the occasion, but that wasn't all that was new, as was to be revealed as soon as everyone in the class was there, and Gladio gave a little nod (and maybe just faint extra grin directed at no one in particular, really) before getting started.
"Alright," he said, "hey, everyone. And welcome to this semester's phys ed class. I know you all know me because I know all of you, so we can probably skip the introductions and get right into the good stuff, and that's the first day physical challenge and assessment."
Oh, and that was a rare grin from Gladio, one that unabashedly stretched from ear to ear.
"But before we get to that," he said, gesturing toward the neatly stacked clothes on a fold-out table beside him, "your gear."
He figured that would be a more appealing word to use than uniforms, but, really, providing neutral-colored shorts, tanks, sweats, and cover-ups for the students had been an elegant solution to the wide variety of clothing people would be rolling in on, although everyone was on their own for footwear. If it helped, too, Gladio was already kitted out in the new FU branded sweats, and, hey, at least you knew they were brand new, too, right, and hadn't been just sitting in a storage closet somewhere for who knows how long.
"So suit up, stretch out, and we'll get started with some standard drills to see where everyone's at."
Considering the class roster? This could get interesting.

Running...not so much. Unless it was for his life. Sometimes not even then.
He finished everything? That was about the best that could be said of it. He was panting and wobbly at the end of it, and it hadn't been terribly fast, but he did do it!
