The T-14 Armata is the Russian 5th Generation Main Battle Tank made by Uralvagonzavod. It has a length of 10.8 meters, Width of 3.5 meters and a Height of 3.3 meters, weighing 50 tons, it is protected by composite armor that has an effective armor thickness of 900 mm vs APFSDS and 1400 vs HEAT. Aside from its thick hide it also has the Malachit ERA that can reduce penetration of APFSDS and HEAT rounds by at least 50%, but that's not what sets it apart from the other MBTs on the same generation. As this baby features the Afghanit (Афганит) active protection system, which includes a millimeter-wavelength radar to detect, track, and intercept incoming anti-tank munitions, ranging from kinetic energy penetrators and tandem-charges. Currently, the maximum speed of the interceptable target is 1,700 m/s, with a projected future increases of up to 3,000 m/s. It protects the tank in a full 360 degree angle, this systems puts the Armata a whole generation ahead in terms of defensive technology as such systems are "only in their infancy on British and American tanks".
The Armata is armed with a 125mm 2A82-1M Smoothbore Cannon with an Autoloader Feed System and has a 12.7mm Remote Controlled Machine Gun Tower and a 7.62mm Coaxial Gun, with the Russians planning to upgrade its main gun to 152mm in the near future. This bad girl has a top speed of 80 km/h and a 12-gear automatic transmission. She is powered by a 1,500 bhp engine which makes her one of the fastest tanks and probably the fastest tank on the planet.
Because this tank is only available to the Russian Ground Forces it cannot be sold commercially but today the Chief Designer of the T-14 from Uralvagonzavod has decided to give T-14 unit to the public through a Raffle Draw, the raffle number is computer generated and cannot be tampered with which means whoever wins is truly a lucky person.

Please stand by as our computer prints out the number and the participant's name who has won the T-14 Armata. Contestant Number 31779! Please come up the stage and claim your tank!
"Yes… Finally, a tank of my own, and it's not just a tank, but the best tank in the world! It's now within my grasp, I'm now about to touch it… Almost there…"
And a loud ring fills the whole room
"GAH"
The Boy jolted upright, clumsily flipped himself over and fell as alarm went off, waking him up from his dream painfully.
He had a medium built, and medium physique, 5 feet and 9 inches tall with a Fair skin Complexion, Medium Length Jet Black hair that reaches up behind his ears to his nape, and Mud Brown Eyes that looks disappointed with his current predicament.
"Ahhh, it was only a dream, I guess it was too good to be true" he Mumbled to himself with a sour expression, he then slowly fixed his hair and stretched his arms upwards.
He then leisurely stood up and headed towards his window and opened the curtains, letting the warm sun in. He stretched once more, waking his body up from its deep slumber. He took a glance at the wall clock. It was 6:30AM
"Crap! I overslept! I forgot today is the first day of the semester! I gotta go and get ready!"
He stumbled his way out of his room and to the kitchen. As he was heading towards the refrigerator, there was a note posted on it.
Ichiro my son, I know that you'll be waking up late so I prepared your breakfast for you, I kept it in the microwave so that the heat won't dissipate easily. I might come home late today, my boss said that we have a lot of paper work in the office that needs to be done so I'll probably be forced to do Overtime. Just cook whatever you can in the fridge for dinner if I come home late.
Your Dad, Shoujirou
"You're the best dad!" He shouted in delight as he grabs his breakfast, after he finished eating the meal his dad left him, he went straight to the shower and hastily got ready for school. As soon as he was done preparing he dashed outside, locked the front door and gate, and immediately began to run to school.
He can't believe it, he is now a Second year student who currently studies at Saunders University, which, back then used to be an all-girls school, but due to the growing number of Private Defense Contractors around the world, the International Senshado committee, after three long years of continuous debating and surveying, finally decided that they would allow the male populace to be admitted into Senshado schools, seeing Senshado not only as a sport but also as a way of life and a career path. Due to the high demand of tank crews needed to operate the tanks that are owned by various PMCs around the globe, not only that, because of the opening of Senshado as an all gender sport, other schools began to offer courses aside from Tank Handling, and that Involves Military training such as handling equipment, operating vehicles and aircraft, changing the age of Senshado to Simulated Warfare, or more commonly known as "Wargame".
On his way to school, Ichiro remembered that he hadn't made lunch for himself yet, so he took a quick detour to a nearby Lawson Convenience store and bought a Boxed Lunch combo which includes a Hamburger and Melon bread. After buying his needed sustenance for the day, he quickly resumed his route going to school.
As Ichiro is about to arrive at the front gate, the morning bell rang, signalling the start of classes, slowly the front gate was closing, he was cutting it close, so he pushed his feet to move faster and finally reached the gate
"G-G-Goodmorning" He said with a nervous smile, while panting from exhaustion as he waved at the guardsman in the front gate who is looking at him with an irritated gaze.
"Almost late on the first day of the semester? You're quite the responsible kid" The guard said in a stern voice.
"Sorry, I won't let it happen again" He replied as he bowed down in apology.
"Fine, since it's the first day of school, but next time I won't be so lenient with late students" He stepped aside to let Ichiro inside
"Th-Thank you sir" Ichiro uttered, still panting, albeit slowly and went straight to the lobby.
After he finished changing his shoes, he threw his bag inside his locker, locked it, and made a beeline towards the gymnasium, where the opening ceremony was about to start. He started making his way towards his section, where he saw three familiar figures, his childhood friends Takeuchi, Kaito and Hayato
Takeuchi Okudomo is a 5 feet 8 inch guy with a lean, muscular build, this comes from his constant trips to the gym, cropped dark brown hair, chocolate brown eyes that are looking at a small book entitled "The Zombie Survival Guide", clearly not noticing his friend behind him and not bothering to look at the ceremony due to his engrossment at the said book.
Hayato raised his hand the moment he saw Ichiro looking for a place to sit, not caring about the attention he is getting from his other classmates "Psst!Ichiro! Over here! I've reserved a seat for you!"
Hayato Ashikaga, 5 feet and 9 inches, is Ichiro's closest friend; they have been buddies since their parents met 16 years ago, he has the same build as Takeuchi, He is also a Ladies' Man due to the fact the most of the girls in the same year back in Junior highschool were dating him, or wanted to date him, he has a medium length light brown hair that is similar to Ichiro only a bit longer, his glasses assisting his obsidian black eyes in following Ichiro's form as he crouched and excused himself to reach his seat near Him.
"You're a life saver Hayato! Thanks!" He whispered to him as he sat down
Hayato patted Ichiro's back and answered lowly "You're quite cocky eh, running late on the first day of the semester!"
"It's not my fault that I overslept! I had a nice dream! I dreamed of the Armata! And I won in the raffle draw where the prize was the Armata!"
Hayato looked at Ichiro in a sad, sarcastic way and replied "Man you and your crazy dreams about tanks, you're still so obsessed about it. We're in second year of high school man! It's time to change! Now is the time to find the love of your life! If you don't start changing now you'll drive the pretty girls away!"
"Oy oy oy, now is not the time for that boys, the opening ceremony is about to start" Kaito butted in.
Kaito Takanori is the tallest one of the group at 5 feet 11 inches and has a very well built body because of his hobby as an Aikido student at a dojo near the block he lives in. He has short undercut, dirty blonde hair, which he got from his mother, who is an American but is now a Japanese citizen, and deep ocean-blue eyes that is now currently looking at Ichiro, who is trying to defend himself from their onslaught of teasing.
"Well Hayato here started to criticize me about my tardiness! While he keeps on chasing girls since middle school" Ichiro exclaimed
"You haven't changed a bit Ichiro, always late, always obsessed with tanks, maybe you should be a tank instead of a man" As Takeuchi shook his head in disappointment, then the four friends laughed out loud in unison.
Which caught the attention of the professors on stage.
"WILL YOU FOUR GUYS OVER THERE BE QUIET?"
The students near their vicinity laughed silently as the four immediately shut up, while the professors on the stage podium mutters "Sheesh" and proceeds with the opening ceremony, everyone then stood up for the national anthem and sat down afterwards for the introduction of various clubs. After the introductions, it was time for one of the most important part of the ceremony: the Principal's announcements, she then went to the podium and cleared her throat.
"As you all know, one of our teachers who teaches Advanced Tank maneuvers and Tactics left last school year to join the JSDF and thus we are now lacking instructors of the said course" she paused for a moment and continued
"Today we are deeply honored to have a new addition to our educational staff, she is one of the best commanders in the world of senshado, this was her home 6 years ago as the team captain of its tankery course, now she is back from the United States to teach you, young ladies and gentlemen one of the best styles in senshado."
The students began whispering each other, gossiping and guessing who the new teacher was. The teachers that we stationed on each row ushered them to remain silent.
"Let us welcome, Ms. Keiko Hanamura!" she said in a loud voice
From the right side of the stage, a tall, shapely woman dressed in a business outfit, began to walk elegantly towards the podium, she had long wavy dark brown hair which rested on her shoulders, and her long bangs gave way to unveil her beautiful face.
"Good morning everyone my name is Keiko Hanamura, You may know or remember me as Kay, the previous commander of the Senshado Club of Saunders, Starting today I'll be teaching English, Basic Tank maneuvers and Tactics to the 2nd years and Advanced tank maneuvers and tactics to the 3rd years. I'll be in your care." She said as she gave the students a big, cheerful smile, eliminating the tension around the whole gymnasium.
The students erupted with applause and shouts as they cheered for Kay.
Keiko smiled brightly at the students and went back to sit down amongst the professors on the stage. While the Principal stood up and urged everyone to settle down. However there was one person who wasn't cheering, it was Ichiro, who was dumbstruck by Keiko's Beauty; all he could do was gaze at Keiko and her dazzling smile.
After the opening ceremony, everyone went back to their respective classrooms for their first period, Ichiro's class went back to their room of 2-A, and promptly sat down in their seats. While waiting for their professor to arrive, Ichiro looked gazed at the distant sea from his window side seat, day dreaming about Keiko.
Takeuchi, being seated behind him, wondered what he was thinking and decided to remove him from his train of thought by kicking the left rear leg of Ichiro's, which broke his trance.
"Keik-!" Ichiro blurted out partially as he quickly covered his mouth trying to cover up his mistake.
Hayato, Takeuchi and Kaito burst out laughing and began jeering at him
"Ohoho, so you're no longer obsessed with tanks now eh?" Hayato said, trying to stifle his snickering, and failing to do so.
Kaito leaned to his side and held his shoulder laughing uncontrollably "I guess you're a man now! Welcome to the men's club!"
Hayato, who could no longer speak, just kept laughing and repeatedly tapping Ichiro on his back, while Ichiro who was dying of embarrassment, dug his face into his hands, trying to hide his face which was bright red.
"Alright settle down now, settle down" the students now went back to their respectives places and silence fills the room, the principal takes notice of this and went on "Since your first period is English, I'll be introducing your teacher" the principal said and motioned her companion to come inside the room, and along came Keiko Hanamura, smiling and waving at everyone as she walked infront of them. The class whispered to each other, throwing words of praises and glee.
Ichiro, who was still trying to hide his face, didn't notice her yet, so Hayato, who was sitting beside him, nudged his elbow and whispered.
"Oy oy oy, its time for class, time to stop sulking"
As Ichiro lifted his face to retort that he wasn't sulking, he saw Keiko instead, whose beautiful face was struck by the sun's rays, emphasizing her beauty even more. Not only was Ichiro captivated, this made him go to a drunken daze, putting him in a dreamlike state.
"This must be a dream, I'm seeing a Megami, I must be dead" He thought, cleary losing it
"I'll be leaving them to you, Hanamura-sensei" The principal smiled and took her leave afterwards.
"Goodmorning class!" She said in a very upbeat tone, the students are trying to suppress their excitement, most evident to the guys, whose sanity are close to crumbling.
"I'm pretty sure everyone here knows who I am, but I'll still introduce myself, I'm Keiko Hanamura, I'll be your class adviser, I'll also be teaching Tank Maneuvers as well as English class, I hope we all get along. Let's all do our best this year!" She said as she beamed to everyone.
The whole section went bonkers as they were overjoyed with Keiko's status as their class adviser.
"Before we start our English class I will ask everyone to introduce themselves!" She then pointed "Let's start with this young lady in the front row on the right!"
Everyone started to become anxious as their classmate started to introduce herself. The class introduction went on; Ichiro couldn't help but feel nervous, it's like he's having cold feet, which he shouldn't even be feeling in the first place as, his turn was slowly coming. As Hayato's turn ended, Ichiro slowly stood up, gulped nervously and cleared his throat, mustering all the courage he had.
"Umm.. M-My name is.. Uhh.. Masaki, Ichiro! Err I-I like tanks! And sketching! M-My favorite dish is Spicy Hire Curry Katsudon. T-That is all!" In a loud and tense voice, he quickly bowed down and took a seat. Everyone laughed at him.
"Ehhhh~, that's quite an introduction Mr. Masaki! It may be simple and childish but I find it very cute." Keiko remarked in an adorable way while smiling at Ichiro, who was turning bright red from embarrassment. "Well who's the next one?
The introductions went on, Ichiro couldn't help but think about Keiko's words as he went on another drunken stupor while looking at her during the time of her class, whenever she was looking for a student to recite a paragraph or sentence from their book, Ichiro would always raise his hand. But his happiness was cut short when she finished class. The moment she exited their classroom, Ichiro lets out a long, happy sigh, while looking out the window.
"Hey boys, it seems that Mr. Tanker is in his own world right now." Kaito whispered, loud enough for Ichiro to hear.
"You know I can hear you right?" Ichiro dreamily muttered with a big smile plastered in his face.
"Maaaan, Hanamura-sensei sure is pretty! I mean I've seen her before in T.V during her days as a senshado captain, but I never expected her to be this pretty in person!" Hayato said while slouching in his chair.
Takeuchi held Hayato's left shoulder and imitated a Samurai-like aura and said "I can't disagree with you there my friend. But we must be ready for thy next class is here!" as he pointed at the door being opened by their next professor for Mapping and Navigation.
Mapping and Navigation was stressful but thanks to their adviser Keiko-sama or so they called her, they were inspired to study hard, most especially the guys, the girls however, sees her as an older sister that can be talked to. Once it class ended, lunch break has arrived.
"Hey Ichiro, We're gonna have lunch downstairs in the cafeteria. Wanna come down with us?" Hayato said, pointing at the door before they head out.
"Nah I'm good, I bought my bento from Lawson before I went to school. You guys can go" Ichiro made a shooing motion at them with a smile.
"If you say so… Hey where did Takeuchi go?" Hayato muttered as he walked out of the class
As his best friends went down to have lunch, Ichiro went wandering around the school, carrying his bento with him, looking for a way to the rooftop. It took him a few minutes to find it but it most certainly paid off when he reached his destination. The vast blue ocean surrounded the ship as it sailed on it, the warm sun and the sea-scented air surrounded him. It was serene and beautiful.
"Just like Hanamura-sensei" Ichiro contemplated to himself.
He went to sit down in a shaded area near the staircase, just as he was about to sit down, he saw Keiko looking out at the ocean. Holding her hair that is tucked above her right ear to keep it from bothering her face, her expression, although it showed happiness, was painted with sadness.
"Why does she look so sad? But then again she's smiling? I wonder what's up, maybe she's just getting emotional because of the view, anyway it would be bad if she suddenly saw me, she might think of something weird!"
Ichiro slowly and silently treads back, being very careful not to make a single sound, but fate had other plans as a huge gust of wind blew the dirt on the ground, causing some of it to enter his eyes, blinding him momentarily and made him stumble towards the wall of the rooftop staircase and accidentally hit his bento box on the wall.
"This is bad, bad, bad, bad! If I don't get out of here quick or sensei will see me! And she'll think I'm stalking her or something horribly wrong! This is baaaaaaaaaaad!"
He struggled to open his eyes and tried to make his way back to the door.
"Oh Masaki-san! Were you planning on having your lunch here?" Keiko questioned Ichiro with a sweet smile.
"Y-You see... Umm H-Hanamura-sensei! P-please don't think of me in a bad way! I-I was just… Planning on.. Yes yes! I was indeed planning on eating here!" Ichiro stuttered and struggled to stay calm.
"Hahaha! You're so cute Ichiro! Calm down! It's not like I'd eat you!" Keiko replied, letting out a cute chuckle. "Come over here so you can eat your lunch comfortably, it's shaded and the wind won't disturb your meal" Tapping the floor near her as she sat down. He replied with a shy nod and sat down beside Keiko and quietly started to eat, while Keiko silently watched the scenery.
"Hanamura-sensei, I don't mean to intrude but, what are you doing up here?"
"Nothing actually just getting some fresh air, that's all" she said, still looking at the sea.
"I see…" Ichiro Replied quietly, and resumed eating.
As Ichiro is eating his lunch, he heard a loud and terrifying growl, and it's only coming from one person, Keiko…
"Umm Hanamura-Sensei, could it be that you haven't had lunch?"
Keiko looked at Ichiro, pouting at him "As a matter of fact I haven't had lunch. I forgot my Bento in the faculty room, and it's too lazy to go back there you know?"
"It's alright sensei! I still have a hamburger sandwich here and Melon bread! I was supposed to have this for my snack but you can have it!" Ichiro said while bring out the food from his bento box and offered it to Keiko
Keiko quickly took up his offer, took the bread and burger, and started munching down on them.
"You're such a gentleman Masaki-kun! Thank you so much!" she said in a bubbly manner.
"Ahh it's nothing really Sensei! I'm just glad that I was able to share my food with you!"
"Oh right! I should pay for it! You're just a stu-"Keiko suddenly said, while trying to bring out her wallet.
"No its okay! Really! Its okay sensei!" Ichiro interrupted her by putting his hand over her's that is holding the wallet, he just didn't realize it till later.
"But..." she pouts for a bit "Well okay if you say so! But don't expect me to return the favor! Like me giving answers to the questions to your exams or anything!" she crossed her arms and looked at Ichiro in a tsundere-like fashion, which made her looked cute.
Ichiro let out a laugh "I'm not that kind of person Sensei! I'm just glad that I could help you even in that small manner and I won't expect anything in return. So it's really okay!"
Keiko lets out a soft chuckle and smiled at him.
"Umm Hanamura-Sensei, I just wanna ask, I don't mean to intrude or anything but…"
"Hmm..?" Keiko looked at Ichiro, tilting her head a bit, like a cat that's curious about something.
"Well. I saw you earlier, and you looked kinda gloomy and yet you still tried to smile. I mean… I don't mean to butt in or whatever it's just that…" he pauses for a moment to catch his breath and gather his thoughts "I just want to know if there is something troubling you and If I there is anything I can do to help you out?"
"Oh. Well its nothing really, just thinking about the bills and stuff like that" Keiko replied and winked at him
"Ehhh Is that so? It seems like there's more to it, so I'd like to know what's bothering you. But of course Only if you're willing to tell me Sensei, again I just wanna help you out anyway I can, even if its just listening to you" Ichiro said, while scratching the back of his head out of anxiety.
"You're a kind and thoughtful person Masaki-kun, but I'ts nothing, really! It's just me overthinking about the bills and such." And just as Keiko finishes her sentence, the school bell rang. "I guess its time for us to head back now" Keiko Stretched her arms up and her legs forward.
Ichiro quickly stood up and offered Keiko help in standing, she nodded in thanks and held his hand and got up. "Masaki-kun, I'm pretty sure whoever your girlfriend is, she must be a very lucky young lady."
Ichiro shook his head and averted the look of Keiko out of embarrassment and replied "I don't have one sensei"
"Really?! But you're quite a handsome guy! Perhaps, you might be gay?" Keiko teased Ichiro, chuckling softly
"Wh-what? No way! I-I just haven't got the time for it!" Ichiro stuttered as he replied
"I see. Well anyway, we have to get going or else I'll be late for my class and you will be late for your next period!" says Keiko as she gently shooed Ichiro away towards the door of the stair case.
"A-Alright! But you don't have to shoo me away like a stray dog!" Ichiro said in embarrassment as they made their way down the stairs
Keiko covered her mouth as she laughed, making Ichiro feel more embarrassed.
"Ichiro!" Keiko called out to him as they started to part ways in the 3rd floor hallway "Thank you for reaching out to me. And for trying to help me out, I feel relieved. I'm glad that you were there for me" Keiko smiled at him "Well then I'll be going back now. Good luck in your next period"
She smiled at him once more, turned around and started walking to the direction of the faculty room. But her last smile wasn't just any kind of smile. Her smile was real, full of happiness.
"Hanamura-sensei's smile… I made her happy... Her beauty shines brighter when she's smiling." Ichiro thought to himself as he sighed in happiness and couldn't help himself but smile as well.
