You didn't know that Talia was so strong and intrepid, they were training, hand-to-hand combats, routine in their training itinerary, you had been in Onyx for weeks, after the Reach thing, they had been pushing them even more to show improvements in their training, however...this was a lot, or so you thought. The augmentations had increased your reflexes, strength...etc, so there would be no problem with facing several soldiers at the same time, right?, the exercise was simple, 4 shock troopers (ODST) against you, simple- None of the Spartan III cadets had managed to beat them yet, not even you, although you beat 3 of them the 4th managed to knock you down, however...when you were resting, sitting watching the others, you saw her, Talia Perex, the well-known survivor of Reach, finishing off one by one every damn soldier who was lucky enough to be in her way, she received blows, she received a lot, but did that stop her?...No. She got up over and over again until the last one fell to the ground and only she was left standing, panting, her look tired, arrogant, confident and proud of her action, she wiped some of the blood from her lip, breathing and walking with difficulty, some blood falling from her forehead, her hair made a mess, she came down from the training mat, I pass by you, smiling victoriously and winking at you.

Your only thought was "Damn girl"

You turned to follow her to the barracks, where she was cleaning her uniform and body, she leaned on the wall, smiling with pride, arrogance, and flirtatiousness at the sight of you
