Part 16: In Which Everyone Does A Terrible Job - Story

Update 14 (Story): In Which Everyone Does A Terrible Job

Welcome back to this anime game about school and guns. It has a name, but I forgot. This time we continue with that main story or whatever it was we were supposed to be doing.


But first, a daily event appears!

--



Music: Everyday Life of the Class



: Well, yeah! There's so much you can do when it snows.
: Building snowmen, having snowball wars, it's fun!
: I'm not good with cold weather, so I usually stay indoors.
: What about you, Mischlitt? What did you do on a snowy days as a child?



: No, inside. Looking out on an endless field of pure white...
: It gave me clarity. My reading speed and memory were both enhanced.




--

Well, that was appropriate, given we're nearing Christmas now. It's a fun little event, even if it is short and simple.

I don't know why, but for some reason when it snows or gets really cold, I get an urge to play Don't Starve. No idea why, I just do.

Anywho, let's get a move on to our main story.

~* Briefing Room - Main Story: Laevatein Preliminaries *~

Music: Royal Military Academy


: Are you prepared?


: Even as you advisor, I can't honestly rate Class G as anything but sub-par.
: I hope you'll at least avoid any casualties out there.

Dude, Brixy, have you even seen our track record so far? It's all A's.


: Then I'll have the pleasure of watching you perform a miracle.
: I look forward to seeing that happen. Now go to the drill ground.



: It's doubtful. We're marching off to abject humiliation.


: What's a handful of guys compared to that? Right? It's foolproof?

Offscreen Voice: The word "foolproof" comes most readily from the mouths of fools.

: Who asked you, Juliana?


Juliana's part of the Armor Tech class tree, so her armor is a result of that, but it has to be backbreaking at this point. Also, here's another Leon mention, just so you don't forget about him.

: Just what? And how would you even know Leon?!
: Leon Hardins was one of the most gifted students this academy has known.
: He was also a commander of impressive skill. And I am not one to flatter.


: I respected him as a peer. I'm confident my own skill is superior, however.
: Just know that I'll be watching you, to know just how disgusted I should be.



: Sir!

: Yo!
: All right, maggots! Listen up!
: For the Cup, we run a real combat simulation, Gallian Army rules.
: You'll be firing practice rounds, but they can kill if you're not lucky.

Does that apply to the grenades too?



Not surrendering while you had the chance was your mistake, dude. You should know by this point Class G likes its grenades.
