"That's how you react when you're backed into a corner. When someone kicks you down," Four declared, as he walked out onto the bridge in the aftermath. "You fight to the last."
He looked at Nico, taking in what he thought was defiance.
"Well done, recruit," said Four, "Most wouldn't have had the strength to hold on, let alone pull themselves up and go on the attack."
Even Eric, despite his bloody face, actually looked delighted with Nico's reaction. "That's what you need to show in the ring, Minoru," said Eric. "Instead of that cowardice earlier. Keep it up and you might not wash out."
The other recruits, on the other hand, were looking at Nico as if they'd suddenly realized they'd spent all this time training side by side with a wolverine that could've turned and bitten them in the throat at any time. One of the only ones that had any expression of compassion on her face (other than Kon and Cassie, that is) was Tris.
