Flight Tournament

Kam came running up to me one day yelling out “Derf! Derf!” “What? What?” I replied, Check this out he said, and brought up a holo-message on his wristponder. “Tryouts for a flight sim tournament?” I read aloud. “the five top competitors get admitted into an actual piloting summer school program? That sounds awesome!” “Yeah!” Kam said. I kept reading and got to a bit that made my hopes drop. “Oh no,” I said. “It says here that it’s only for second year students and upwards.”

“That’s not going to be a problem,” said Kam. “I reckon that besides that Lazerman kid, you and I are the best in our year. You leave it to me, and I’ll see we get into this.” “Yeah, but how?” I asked. “The first year flight instructor. I’ll get Dad to put in a good word, and suggest that we at least get to take part in the qualifications. Then all we need to do is come in the top 20, which should be easy for us.” “Ok,’ I said. “But isn’t it a bad look for you to use your father’s political cred to do this?” “Well, yeah,” said Kam, but do you want to fly FX-80s or what?”

He had a good point.
