Expect something. I don't know, a cock-a-pus, maybe?

V1 Chapter 02: Boy meets Boy meets Boy.
IS Academy
Approximately 7 o'clock
"Ahhh...I can't even get a rest today..." Nako sighed as he was returning from the I.S.A Council's questioning. Gilliam was walking next to him, reading a report on his tabled.
"It is expected that they would question you and your motives, but the fact that they demanded a test was just unreasonable. Apparently the fact that no one else, male or female, can get into that unit isn't clear enough for them." Gilliam muttered.
"But why am I staying in a different room than the one that already has a boy in it? And do they REALLY think that the new transfer student might be a girl in disguise? " Nako asked out in frustration.
"Just this month and they already got a triple case of male that can pilot IS or IS-like unit. Irmgard got off easy thanks to the fact that his position in the military and his father helped the process. So please keep silent. Complaining won't fix anything." Gilliam answered.
Nako sighed again. Whatever, he's tired, and as soon as he see the bed, he's jumping on it. They arrive in front of room 1701, the "special room" that was temporarily assigned to him and a certain... someone that was deemed "not girly enough to be considered a girl". As soon as he opened the door, he heard the sound of rock or metal music blasting at full volume, but was somewhat contained thanks to some wall padding.
What he was greeted with is a girl with light-blonde hair tied back in a half-bun with curly strands hanging out. Her eyes are bright blue and she wears thick rectangular glasses with red frame. She was wearing a white tank top and bike shorts, and was playing a game on her laptop...
*PAKAPAKAPAKAPAKAPA*
"Fuck you, you noob! Go fuck a horse and die!"
...a game of the MMOFPS genre because god knows that vocabulary and sound is impossible to miss. She looked up from her computer, and guiding her eyes from the man with creepy purple hair towards the black-haired boy that was wearing the stupidest pair of glasses she has ever seen. Who also looks like Shigure from Kancolle without her braids. And with much less PTSD.
"Well, Ms. Sumdac...You are going to share room with Mr. Hiyama over here for a short period of time. And don't mind me, I'm just a messenger." Gilliam said as he walked out of the room and down into the dark hallway. The blond haired girl looked at Nako and simply said:
"The name's Sabrina. Sabrina Sumdac, but call me Sari for short. Get in loser, we're killing Russians"
IS ACADEMY, Class 2 first year
The next day...
'What is this school? "The School of Rampant Transfer Students"?' Rin thought to herself as her assistance homeroom teacher was repairing the holographic board or something. She noticed that her homeroom teacher isn't around and blowing stuff up like he would usually do.
"Ano, Summers-sensei, what happened to Wade-sensei?" Rin asked. The white-haired man who looks like a G.I Joe on steroids doesn't even bother to turn around "Don't know. He said something about a movie then took off. Don't worry, you'll have the replacement soon enough, and it's not me."
The door opened, and Gilliam walked in the classroom. "Greetings everybody, my name is Gilliam Yeager. I will be your homeroom teacher until the end of this year. I wish that we can cooperate without any problems." The class screamed, not in fangirl joy, but in relieve that their old black-and-red-spandex-cladded homeroom teacher is no longer going to "teach" them.
"Today, we are having a new student in our class. Please come in." Gilliam then signaled for someone at the door to come in.
It was a young teenage boy with smooth short black hair, with his sideburns and bangs decorating his face like natural ornaments and a pair of glasses. His dark brown eyes were darting left and right nervously, indicating anxiety. He was wearing a male version of the IS Academy uniform.
"My n-name is Nakoto Hiyama. I-I'm going to be a member of this class, and I h-hope that we can all be friends!" He then bowed a little bit too steeply and almost fall over. All of the girls in the class was...indifferent to him, to be frank.
"He seem kinda... wimpy, isn't he?"
"Yeah, almost like he was one of those office nerds or something..."
"I don't know about that, but he still doesn't beat Orimura-kun, though."
The girl from last night stands up, a grin spread wide on her face "Oh, so that's your name. You could've tell me last night, y'know?"
"I did. You were to busy spouting MLG meme or something" Nako said, is eyelids twitching.
"Is it so? Oh well, let me formally welcome you to our class then. As the FORMER class rep, it's only right for me to do so..." she then glared at Rin, who just turn her head away from the blond American.
Nako wasn't sure what was going on anymore. "I-I don't think that's nesseca-"
Sari interrupted him "Hap-py! Joy-py! Nice to meet you-py! Come on, say it with me! Hap-"
*FWOOSH*
Sari casually leaned to the left, easily avoiding a flaming poker card thrown her way, leaving them embedded in the wall behind her. Nako's face wasn't hiding his annoyace at all "Please, never do that again." The boy whispered, his voice deep as all hell.
Sari just whispered "I just did you a favor, sonny."
"WAAAAHAHH! HE'S SO COOL!"
"HE'S LIKE A MAGICAL GIRL THAT CAN SET THINGS ON FIRE OR SOMETHING! THAT'S SO ADORABLE!"
"ARE YOU SURE HIS NAME ISN'T REI HINO?" all of the commotion caught Nako off guard.
"BE QUIET YOU NOISE LOT! Homeroom lesson will end now. Everyone has to change up, as we'll be doing IS practice together with Class 1. Dismissed!" Nathan Summers yelled, immediately shutting all the girls up. "Hiyama, you go outside. We need to repair a few things here in this classroom, so... we'll try to survive..." Gilliam chuckled at the big man's word, then he participate in whatever Nathan was doing.
"Let's see... if I remember correctly ,the changing room of the 2nd arena is suppose to be empty today..." Nako mumbled to himself as he was walking out of the class so the girls can change. On his way, he bumped into someone "Kya!" He yelped, then looked up to see Ichika and a blond male student 'Honestly, I feel like I'm in some sort of Visual Novel or something...' Nako thought to himself.
"Hey, you're Nako, right? Are you okay?" Ichika asked worriedly. "You're too kind. It's okay, I'm moderately fine..." Nako stands up with a little bit of help from Ichika.
"Ah, you must be one of the new transfer students. I'm Nakoto Hiyama, but you can just call me Nako for short." He then extends his hand out towards the blond male.
"Uhm...I'm Charles Dunois, nice to meet you too!" Charles replied, preforming a handshake with Nako. The three then hear a scream from behind them.
"Yo, we're all ladies! A little mutual groping won't hurt!" That voice was none other than that of Sari. Nako sighed "Really? Now I know why you are isolated in the first place. You are a dirty dirty pervert. BAKA!" He then tried to smack Sari on the head, but he hits the hand of her Personal Trooper instead.
"Owie..."
Ichika sighed "And here's Sabrina "Sari" Sumdac, lazy mechanic extraordinaire. Be VERY cautious around her." Charles nodded furiously.
Ichika continued "Anyway, got to get down the stairs to the first level. We can't slow down. If we do-"
"Ahh! Rumored transfer students detected!"
"And he's together with Orimura-kun!"
"But why are they with Sari-chan?!"
They were surrounded by girls. LOTS of girls
Nako just realize something: Once homeroom period is over, all the students from all classes and all years will send out their elite troops. If they get caught in the flood, we'll be questioned until they're late for lessons. And finally, what awaits them is a hellish special training
"Found them! They're here!"
"Everyone who heard them! Hurry up and surround them!"
Ichika immediately drags Charles away, while Sari just picked Nako up and run away. "THE SECRET TECHNIQUE OF THE SUMDAC'S HOUSE: RUN AWAY!"
"Wha-What's going on? Why is everyone like this?" Both Nako and Charles asked, a look of puzzlement planted on their faces.
"That's because we're the only three guys here." Ichika explained
"...?"
"Ya dumb oafs, you can't even remember that you are the only male on this rock that can pilot an IS or IS-like machines, right?"
"Ah-ahh, okay. I see." Nako replied
"Also...the girls in this school don't seem to interact much with guys, so they became a variation of Yaoi fangirls"
Charles and Nako both shuddered at Ichika's example.
"But now, let just focus on NOT GETTING KILLED BY RABID FANGIRLS! WHY WAS I DRAGGED IN TO THIS?!" Sari commanded, getting the attention of the group on the right track.
With the ordinary sound of the air lock being removed, the door slides aside, and they managed to reach the second arena's changing room unscathed.
Ichika then looked at the clock "Oh no! Not much time left! Let's change!"
Sari then moved to a different row of lockers so the boys can change, while the boy shared the same locker row.
"UWA!" Charles yelped
"What's the matter?" Nako asked
Ichika was confused "Did you forget anything...no wait, why aren't you changing? You'll be late if you don't do so! You might not know this Charles, but our homeroom teacher's really strict about being punctual and all-"
"O-Okay, I, I'll change. But, erm, can you please look at the other side...please?" Charles said, his face as red as a tomato.
"Huh, I won't look at you when you change...but Charles, why are you looking at me?"
"I-I'm not! I'm not looking at you!"
Charles raises his hands out to block his face and hurriedly turns to look at the floor. Why is he looking like this? Unbelievable chap.
"But really, let's hurry. It's not good to be late on the first day-or rather, that person won't be laughing." Ichika rushed.
"..."
"Charles?" Nako asked, he too turned around so Charles could change.
"Wha-What?"
Just as the two guys looked around, seemingly bothered, they found Charles frantically looking at them and turning back to look at the wall while pulling his IS suit up.
"Wow, you're really fast at changing! Is there a trick to it?" Ichika exclaimed.
"Maybe he takes a special class for that..." Nako exclaimed, seemingly intrigued by this trivial phenomena.
"I-It's nothing. Sort of normal, I guess...you still haven't finished changing yet, Ichika-san?"
Ichika already took over his pants and underwear, and his IS suit's already at the waist. "This clothing's really hard to wear, I have to strip myself just to wear it, and I'll get tangled easily."
"Ta-Tangled?" Chales stuttered
"Yeah."
Once all of them was done, Nako turned to look at Charles again "The suit you're wearing really looks good. Where's it made in?"
"Ah, um, this is a suit created by Dunois Enterprise! Though it was developed through the basic Greek design, it seems to be a thoroughly customized version."
"Dunois? I seem to have heard of that before..." Ichika pondered, placing his hand on his chin.
"Yup, that's my family. My dad's the President, I guess it should be the largest IS related enterprise in France."
"Ohh! So Charles is the son of the President. No wonder."
"Hm? No wonder what?"
"Yup. Well, how should I put it? You have an aura like you're grew up in some great environment. Now I understand."
"Great environment...huh?"
Charles suddenly looked away. He is showing a complicated look right now.
"Well, compared to me, Ichika-san's even more impressive, right? That you're Orimura Chifuyu-san's little brother."
"Hahaha, you idiot." Ichika laughed
"Wha?" Charles was confused. "Let's see, son of the man that owns the world's third most famous IS manufacturer and brother of the world's strongest woman... Yeah, I don't get it either., Charles." Nako said.
"Eh, I wouldn't say so. Without Charles uncle, Mr. Jean Pierre Polnareff, Ms. Orimura wouldn't have gotten famous for beating him on foot." Sari chimed in
The four of them continued to chat as they walk to the second arena
"YOU'RE TOO SLOW!" Chifuyu yelled, causing Nako to jump a bit. They just got to the second arena successfully. 'This Prana...It's so invasive and commanding! But there's also this weird pressure...what is it?' Nako thought to himself, unaware of Chifuyu's psychic ability.
"Since you have time to think about such useless things, hurry up and get in line!" Chifuyu yelled, noticing Ichika inner monologue through their psychic link. The four split and get to the side of their respective class.
"This time, we need to settle it once and for all, Huang!" Sari declared in a whisper-y but loud voice. She was promptly ignored "Why you chink...! Pay attention to me, damn it!"
"Please, Sumdac-san, keep it down or we'll get scold by Orimura-sensei and Yeager-sensei" Nako wispered.
"What ju' talkin' 'bout, you fool?" Sari replied in a mocking tone.
The two and a few member of Ichika's harem was chatting fiercely, loud enough that it visibly annoy Chifuyu. She gazed over all of her targets, her attendance book at the ready...
...And waiting for them in front is the administrator of the hellish practical lesson, the instructor from hell. Accepting anyone, not caring about the age, nationality, gender, the gates of hell have opened. As she held the book firmly, she muttered these words:
"Ranbu no Tachi!"
*PA-!*
Under the azure sky, the smack of the attendance book is still loud and clear today.
"First, we'll be watching a practical battle that involves close range and shooting."
"Yes ma'am!"
As it's a combined practical between class 1 and class 2, there's double the number of people as per usual, and even the replies sound a lot louder.
"Kuu...how could you just hit my head like that..." Cecilia moaned in agony
"...It's all Ichika's fault. It's all Ichika's fault. It's all Ichika's fault..." Rin mumbled.
Teary-eyed, Cecilia and Rin stroke their heads, maybe because it's painful.
'Speaking of which, don't you feel that it's wrong? It's alright if it's just me thinking too much, but if that's the case, I want my lawyer!' Ichika thought to himself.
*DONK!*
"I can tell what you're thinking..." Chifuyu kicked her brother in the back. "Today, I would like to let everyone see a real battle, and there just so happen to be lively girls here present-Huang! Alcott! Sumdac"
"Wh-Why me too?" Cecilia complained
"Oh? Nice, nice! Very nice, Orimura-sensei!" Sari said in full English, clapping her hands.
"Since you all have personal suits, and in Sumdac case a custom Personal Trooper, you can start battle immediately. Okay, get out here."
"Why me..." Cecilia complained
"It's definitely Ichika's fault, so why..." Rin then sighed. The only one who seems excited for the battle is Sari.
"You two better buck up-and show that guy what you two are made of!" Chifuyu wispered in the Chinese girl and the English noblewoman's ears.
"This is the stage for me, the representative candidate for England, Cecilia Alcott!"
"That's right. It's a great chance to show everyone the difference in ability as a personal IS pilot!"
For some reason, both their motivation values just shot up.
"Then who's my opponent? I'm alright even if it's against Rin-san." Cecilia gloated
"Hey hey, get in line. I'm going first." Sari chimed in.
"Fufu, that's my line. I'll slaughter you all!" Rin declared bombastically.
Chifuyu smirked "No need to rush, idiots. Your opponent will be-"
*Kiiiiinnn...*
Hm? What's that sound? Sounds like air being split. "Don't tell me-" Nako looked up just in time to see-
"AHHH-! PL-PLEASE GET OUT OF THE WAY~!"
*BAAAMMMMMM*
Something crashed into Ichika, who wasn't lucky enough to get out in time. "Ho...good thing I barely managed to deploy [Byakushiki], but what was that-"
He then felt something soft. "What?!"
"That, that, Orimura-kun...kya!" Fearful, he looked down at his hand. Under him was, somehow, Miss Maya "Th-That, you see, in this situation, I'm really troubled...no, this isn't the only problem. No matter what, I still have a teacher-student relationship with Orimura-kun...but if it continues like this, Orimura-sensei will be my sister-in-law, and that's very tempting somehow-"
"Ichika-san, your hands are..." Nako pointed at Ichika's direction, his left hand covering his face. Ichika's hands was placed on Maya-sensei's... mounts.
"-!?" After his instincts detected danger, Ichika got out of his frozen state and leapt away from Yamada-sensei. At that moment, the lasers shot past where he was just a second ago.
"Hohohohoho...what a pity, I missed." Cecilia was chuckling evily. She's smiling, but everyone can see veins on her forehead-she's the firmament of the sky, Cecilia Alcott.
*Click*
Nako imidiately notice the sound of something combining together. His mech was built with mode changing function, so he knows those sounds very well. He looked towards Rin direction, only to notice that she was throwing something towards Ichika.
"WAAAAHHHH!" Ichika screamed in suprise. At the last moment, he bent backwards to dodge the attack, but his momentum carried him further back. Then, he saw the sight of despair.
The 'Souten Gagetsu' that was thrown out spins back as its shaped like a boomerang.
"HAA!"
"Remote Slashers, GO!"
*SHIIING!*
*PAM!* *PAM!*
A blue rotating blade cuts the combined Souten Gagetsu apart, followed up by two bullets accurately hitting the two sides of the 'Souten Gagetsu' and changing its trajectory.
While hearing the bullet shells drop, Ichika turned around to look, and found that the snipers who saved him from such a crisis was actually Yamada-sensei and Gilliam.
While he can spot Yamada-sensei with her rifle, he doesn't see Gilliam's Personal Trooper, even though the Remote Slasher was one of his weapons.
However, what was most surprising was Yamada-sensei's image-she doesn't seems like her normal clumsy self. She was now oozing an aura of professionalism, one that was similar to that of Gilliam's usual demanor.
Though it's not to the extent that it seemed like she switched personalities, Ichika really can't imagine her being the one who crashed into the wall and couldn't move during the entrance exam.
"..."
It seems like he's not the only one who's shocked-forget about Cecilia and Rin, even the other girls and Nako are speechless.
"Though Yamada-sensei doesn't look like it, she was a former representative candidate, so shooting like what she just did isn't much."
"Well, that was ages ago. And I never got past being a representative candidate..."
It's back to the normal Yamada-sensei presence. She turned around, stood up, placed her rifle into the weapon box on her shoulder, and then used both hands to adjust her glasses. Looking at the actions, this is the Maya we know alright. It seems like she's shy about what she heard Chifuyu say as she blushed.
"So then, little girls, let's start already." Gilliam said as he summons his Gespent, the black machine covering him from head to toe.
"Wha? Erm, 3 vs 2 is..." Cecilia hesitated.
"No, this is too..." and Rin seems to agree with her
"Team practice? Good grief..." Sari complained
"Relax, if it's you three, you'll definitely lose." Chifuyu smirked
Maybe they felt unhappy after hearing that they would lose, as Cecilia and Rin's wills start to burn, especially Cecilia, since it's important for her to beat her opponent at least once, so her killing intent and power level have risen. But not over 9000, it seems...
Sari, on the other hand, just summonds her customized Mass-production model Huckebein Mk-II .
The shoulderguards was similar to that of the Byakushiki, while the arms and legs are much more humanoid and simplistic, with two box attached to the arms. The headgear was different from any other Huckebein, being much more streamlined and aerodynamic, with the word "Chrome Raven" painted on the side of the head. Overall, the yellow and white machine seems pathetic compared to the IS.
BGM: Sophisticated Fight (Sora no Kiseki OST)
"Then, let's start!" Cecilia and Rin shouted out as they flew. Seeing this, Yamada flies up as well, with Gilliam following her.
"I won't hold back!"
"I wasn't serious back then anyway!"
"My Chromebein MkII isn't going to lose to some outdated machines, lemme tell you that!"
The three students shouted, unaware of the hell they are going to suffer...
"H-Here I come!" Maya stuttered out.
"Let's go, partner..." Gilliam whispered.
Maya is talking as per normal, but her eyes are now as cool and sharp as they were before. Gilliam face was hidden under the red visor, so no one could tell what his expression was. Cecilia and Rin launched a preemptive attack on Maya, but the green-haired teacher easily dodged them. Gilliam utilized the opening that Maya created to launch an attack aimed at Rin and Cecilia using his machine gun, but the attack was blocked by some sort of energy field projected by Sari's Personal Trooper.
"Then, during this time...Dunois, give a commentary on the IS Yamada-sensei's using, and Hiyama, give one on the PT that Yeager-sensei is using.
"O-Okay." Both of them replied. Charles continued to watch the battle in the sky as he explained with a reliable voice,
"The IS Yamada-sensei's using is a [Raphael Revive] from Dunois Enterprise. It's a machine developed at the end of the 2nd generation phase, but the specifications rival that of the early 3rd generation machines.
In terms of deployed mass production IS models, it was the last to be sold, but has the 3rd largest user-base in the world. Only 7 countries are permitted to create it, and 12 countries use it as a standard IS. Most notably, because of the controls it can allow pilots to fit what they want. By changing the equipment, it can be configured for all types of combat, including close ranged combat, sniping and defending types, so there are many partnering companies working on it."
As soon as Charles ended, Nako imidiately starts his explanation
"And the black machine that Yeager-sensei's using is a [Gespenst], the original one, to be exact. It was invented by him as an alternate mean for nations without IS to defend themselves with, but was deemed too impractical as the cost of the original alone is equal to that of 5 IS, while the combat preformence is only 95% that of a 2nd generation IS.
The mass-production models were only around 50% the cost of an IS, but suffers from various flaws and are severly weaker than the original model, as well as losing the flight pack and the energy barrier, but due to the fact that it can be customized freely, it's much more favored by nations without the wealth to produce IS, with around 500 MKII models spread all across the globe, with many knockoffs and varients produced by various nations.'
"Mm, that's enough for now...it's ending!"
Engrossed in the two feminine male's explanation, Ichika forgot to look at how the battle is right now.
As he turned back to look at the battle, and found that Yamada-sensei's shots were luring Cecilia and Rin to collide together, with Sari being supressed by Gilliam's assult so that she can't warn the other two. Yamada-sensei then threw a grenade at them, and once the explosion occurred, two figures crashed onto the ground in a puff of smoke just like that.
"RIN! BRITISH LADY! Alright, that's it! Go, H.A.M.O.N OVERDRI-" Before Sari could finish her line, she was struck by a missiled fired by Gilliam. "SON OF A BITCH!" screamed Sari as she crashed into the ground.
"Ku, uu...to think that I actually..."
"Ah, you...she predicted so much of your evasive maneuvers, it's so silly..."
"Is-Isn't it the same for you, Rin-san? We failed because you made too many meaningless mixed tactics and Impact Cannon attacks!"
"That's my line! Why did you release your BITs immediately? The power was depleted so fast!"
"Maybe if you girls can stop moving sporadictly, I could've nail Gilliam with a H.A.M.O.N Overdrive!"
"Ggggrrr...!"
"Kkkkkkk...!"
"Fuckshitduckfuckcockblowchicken...!"
Seems like this is a Battle Royale - anyway, it doesn't look like they have a good relationship at all.
In the end, all of them continued to glare at each other until the girls of class one and class two started to chuckle.
"Okay now, everyone should understand the ability of the teachers now. From now onwards, please show some respect to the staff members." Chifuyu clapped twice to divert everyone's attention.
"The ones with personal frames are Orimura, Alcott, Dunois, Sumdac, Bodewig, and Rin. Then, we'll be dividing the class into groups of 8. Personal machine users will act as leaders, got that? Split up now."
Nako meekly raises his hand. "You... are a special case. I'll test your "magic" control skill for a bit, then we will have Sumdac demonstrate how to easily take down a machine like yours."
The instant Chifuyu finished, the 2 classes of girls rush over to Charles and Ichika.
"Orimura-kun, let's work hard together!"
"Teach me what I don't know~"
"Dunois-kun, please show me your piloting skills."
"Hey, hey, can I join in too? Let me join you too!"
Either because she couldn't stand this situation or 'cause she's angry that she didn't foresee this, Chifuyu pressed onto her forehead with her fingers, feeling really bothered as she bellows,
"These idiots...EVERYONE SORT OUT ACCORDING TO SEATING ARRANGEMENTS! GROUP LEADER ORDER WILL BE AS DESCRIBED. IF YOU DON'T GET SORTED INTO GROUPS FAST, YOU PEOPLE WILL CARRY IS MACHINES AND RUN AROUND THE FIELD 100 TIMES, AND THE LUCKY PERSON WILL GET TO CARRY THE GRUNGUST!"
The girls all moved quickly and managed to get into their groups within 2 minutes. "I should have done this from the beginning. Really, they're a bunch of idiots." Chifuyu sighed, with Gilliam patting her on the back "It's our job, young one."
"...That's great. I'm in the same group as Orimura-kun! I'm really grateful for my own surname..."
"...Sigh-, it's Cecilia...she just lost so badly..."
"...I'll be in your care, Rin-san. Please tell me more about Orimura-kun..."
"...Dunois-kun! You can ask me about anything you don't know! Also, I'm still single!..."
"...Ew, I got stuck with "Female Joseph Joestar" over here..."
"..."
On a side note, the group that isn't saying anything is the group of that German transfer student Laura Bodewig. The tense atmosphere, the presence that refuses to work with others, the cold stare-down on the other students, and the mouth that never spoke since the beginning.
Facing such an iron wall, even those pure-hearted 10+ girls wouldn't even dare to talk to her. Everyone's just lowering their heads and forced to remain silent.
"Then, please listen up. Each group is to take one training suit. There are 3 Uchigane, one high-end Gespent MkII and 2 Revives, so each group, please decide on the type of frame you like the most. Ah, it's first comes first served-"
Yamada-sensei's even more reliable by 3 times-no, 5 times now. The mock battle just now got her confidence back, right? As her attitude's really proper, so just removing her glasses alone seem to make her a 'really capable woman'.
As the practice continues, things get more... heated.
