Part 37: Avan Gets Owned By A 13 Year Old Again

Update 31: Avan Gets Owned By A 13 Year Old Again

Welcome back to animeland, folks. It's time to resume the main story.

This will be a very basic update for the most part, so I'll slide in a daily update at the end.

If that's not enough for you, then direct your complaints towards this game. I am not a licensed representative of this animeland.

~ Training Grounds - Main Story Event ~

Music: Everyday Life of the Class




Yes, they do this awkward thing where they put her sprite in the distance in order to show she's not actually as big as everyone else.



: A ball?
: Is there an echo in-- Wait, you don't know what a ball is?
: Okay, here. I'll teach you soccer!
: Her who? Who do I sock?
: Just watch and learn. You kick the ball. Like... this!

*Punting noise*



: Now you give it a try. Just lightly, to start.
: Okay! ...Yah!



This picture would be nicer if it didn't remind us of what murder kid here is wearing underneath that.

: Ah ha ha ha!
: Owww... I said to kick it LIGHTLY!
: Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!
: Gah, you gave me a nose-bleed, you little monster!



: Uhh, yeah? Soccer balls are usually just black and white, Cosette.

Not in your time period, they aren't. It's a really minor thing to nitpick, but those weren't introduced until the 70's.




: Dude, it's my blood! Can't you see my nose? You know, the huge, red fountain?
: Ah ha... ha. Sorry. I was just surprised.



: Yup! It's fun!
: The game's not about pegging people. Let's play for real next time.
: Play? What's play?
: Er, well... Hmm. It's when you get together with other people and--



Oh, you thought they were going to let this go?



: Look, you had fun kicking the ball, right?
: Yeah!
: Well, getting together with folks and having fun WITHOUT killing them?
: That's playing. I feel like playing's a lot more important that fighting.
: Hm...



: Yay! That sounds great! I'll sock them all with the ball!
: That's NOT how you play!

I think that event was perfectly indicative of how this game fails to hold a tone. And also why murder kid is unsettling for more reasons than just that terrible outfit.

Anyways, that was the last interesting main story event for today. Enjoy these next two.

~ Drill Grounds - Main Story Event ~

Music: Royal Military Academy




: Heck yeah! Once we're through this, it's the final round!
: And once we win THAT, we in Class G are gonna be the champs!









: You again? Here to watch our match and learn a thing or two?
: Oh, I'm cheering you on.
: You'll be food for my squad. It wouldn't do to have you lose here.
: I hear Class A's already won a spot at the finals.



: A long, needless preamble to the awards ceremony.



If you rejects try hard enough, you may just earn the right to lose to us.




: Ah, let go would you? You're crushing my arm!
: Oops, I'm sorry! I kinda tensed up...



: Class B and Class G chairs, front and center!
: All right, let us at 'em!
: Heh. Someone's feisty. Let's see what you maggots can do!

No, the Semifinal is not an interesting mission in the slightest. It's another entirely biased map where you're stuck on assault with 6 units, the enemy has like 4 tanks and a ton of troopers. There's no attempt to make this map seem like an actual even drill.

I mean, it's no question why Class G's been losing all this time, the other teams just get an incredibly large amount of cheating on their side.

Anyways, I beat it. Let's move on.

~ You can probably guess - Do I have to tell you? ~

Music: Theme of Class G



: Class G takes the round!




: Wow, I'm surprised to hear that, coming from--
: Few get the privilege of facing Class A in combat. You must be proud.
: Oh, right. That.
: I must say, your tactics are truly senseless.

This game is senseless, what's your point?



: Who asked you anyways?
: And you seem paralyzed by your obsession with the people around you.
: A leader must be prepared to sacrifice even himself for victory!
: What? That's crazy!
: That is the weight of the office of the commander. Leon Hardins would agree.
: You really think Leon...
: Whoa, Avan. Check that brother complex of yours for just a moment here.
: I've got little use for a leader who's going to up and die on me.
: Uhh, thanks?
: You again?



: Even if it does ultimately win the battle at hand.
: Though I doubt you could kill Avan if you tried. I've been tempted myself.
: Hey, now!
: I'll be the first to grant that you're a skilled tactician, Juliana.
: But it will take more than mere strategy to beat us.



: -And you will not address me so casually in the future. Understand?
: I'll see you and all your little friends flayed in the finals!

*Runs off*

: Man, I wonder what her deal is? It's always the same spiel.



: I even agree with a lot of what she says.
: You do need to focus more out there, or you're going to get hurt, Avan.
: Oof...

Here's a reminder that we're supposed to like Juliana in some sense of the word. No, I'm not sure how either.

Anyways, I promised an daily event to make this less boring, so here you go.

~ Courtyard - Daily Event ~



: You mean Avan's brother? No, I never did.
: He passed on before I came to Lanseal. Still, I've heard the stories.
: ...How he fought against the Empire as a lancer in the militia.
: How he maintained the top of the tank kill count in all of the 3rd Company



: His intellect and charisma earned him the trust of both peers and professors.
: He sounds like quite the fellow. I would have liked to have met him.
: I wonder if Avan was adopted.
: He's friendly, and a man-of-action sort of guy, but um, not the military type.
: Heh.
: That much is true.




LEEE-ON! LEEE-ON!

...Oh, right excuse me. I would like to point out that yes, they do develop a bit of Leon's backstory, but it still boils down into HE WAS THE GREATEST THAT EVER LIVED

Eh, hopefully that was mildly interesting. If it wasn't, I'd apologize, but you should've known what you'd be in for with a VC2 update.

Anyways, next time we get to witness the game take a sudden change of tone, like it usually does.
