If you were to ask a student what the largest academy in this vast place called Kivotos is, most of them would raise three fingers.
First, there’s the Millennium Science School, filled with students obsessed with machines, artificial intelligence, and all sorts of strange devices.
Second, there’s our school, the Trinity Comprehensive Academy and we do not get along well with the academy right next door.
Sorry, ‘not well’? No, it’s more than that. We despise each other. And who is that troublesome neighbour?
It’s the third one: Gehenna Academy.
On the surface, they look flashy and pretend to be epitome of justice, but in reality, most students don’t even wear their uniforms properly. They’re more caught up in fighting over their own interests.
Gehenna’s massive academy is divided between two main factions: the Prefect Team and the Disciplinary Committee, and their power is split. They never managed to fully consolidate power, and in addition to those two, various student councils claim authority all over the place. Yet despite that chaos, when it comes to picking a fight with us at Trinity, they somehow work together perfectly. How hilarious.
When you see regular students, Prefect Team members, and Disciplinary Committee members all mixed together into squads and launching attacks on us, you can’t help but laugh.
Honestly, no matter how many times I see it, I never get tired of it! Fortunately I’m the officer in charge of this sector’s border checkpoint, so I’ve gotten somewhat used to it, but if I were a normal student just attending classes in the city, I’d probably burst out laughing every time I saw them.
Sure, my friends think I’m a bit weird, but come on, it’s funny! What do they expect me to do?
Anyway, the reason I’m thinking about all this now is because…
Gehenna students are attacking our checkpoint again. Right now. If you look over there, my friends are all firing their guns. And over there, Ritsuko just got hit by a grenade and is flying away in tears again.
So what am I doing, you ask? Would you believe me if I told you?
—BWEEEEEEP!!!
“Charge! Forward!!”
“Forward!!”
Yep. I’m charging forward with my friends while blowing a whistle.
