The main Russian Pacific Fleet lead by Admiral Vladimir is now stationed at Sakhalin Island.

Onboard the Aircraft Carrier Chernobyl, Sakhalin Naval Base,

27th December 2021.

The Aircraft Carrier Chernobyl is a one of a kind design that supposedly matches the American Ronald Reagan Class Aircraft Carrier in terms of defense, survivability, and aircraft capacity. The carrier's defensive systems are a revolutionary in design and also reported that its laser defensive system can destroy over 100 anti-ship missiles in one successive strike.

"Tovarishch Admiral, reconnaissance report from one of our submarine forces at Tokyo Harbor, they reported that the area is clear from enemy defenses except several Japanese Coast Guard and Academy City's Coast Guard patrol boats. No other defenses are seen in the area, they will report again if something comes up." As the Intelligence Officer finish his briefing to Admiral Vladimir at the bridge of the Chernobyl.

"Very well officer, you may go now." Just as he dismisses his subordinate, he look outside the bridges window, thinking about what will happen to the people of Academy City. He knows that Academy City is a threat to his Motherland because of the so-called illegal experiments that effecting the world's environment and danger to humanity if it lets out of control as the High Command informed him but he is worried that most of Academy City's inhabitants are students, students for god sake. He could not believe that he is actually attacking a people that is the same age with his son but he have to do it because he was a sailor, a sailor under the service of his Motherland and will follow the order to the letter.

After thinking about his conscience, he immediately calls the lead captain of the "cargo ship" that carrying soldiers of the 92nd SGB and most of the 4th Tank Division that are specially trained for the invasion.

"This is Admiral Vladimir of the Russian Pacific Fleet to Captain 1st Rank Alexei of the "cargo ship Chernaya Luna" please report in over." The Chernaya Luna is the codename for the invasion fleet for fear that any enemy intelligence unit will picked up their ploy,

"This is Captain 1st Rank Alexei of Chernaya Luna reporting in over." The captain responds.

"This is Admiral Vladimir, what is the status of the rest of the "cargo"? over." The Admiral asks the lead fleet.

"Everything is under control and we should be arriving at Tokyo Harbor at 4 days with the current speed." The captain explains.

"Very well, I need you to report your situation within every 2 hours, do you copy?" Satisfied with the current information he received, he asks the captain to updating his current situation within 2 hours for up to date situation of the fleet.

"Da tovarishch, will do, roger and out." The connection between the Captain and the Admiral is finally over.

Academy City 1st District, West Tokyo, Japan.

26th December 2021.

The Academy City's 1st District is the "heart of administration center" for Academy City though the real place that makes all decision politically and socially are situated at 7th District where founder and Superintendent of Academy City, Aleister Crowley makes all decisions at a place called "Windowless Building".

A meeting between 12 Board of Directors of Academy City is taking place at one of the facilities especially built for the meeting. This time, their meeting will be joined by Aleister himself via video-conference from the "Windowless Building" to talk about the tensions between Academy City and Russia after Russian victory over Western Europe.

"Alright gentlemen, let's get this meeting started. We will first discuss about tensions between Academy City and Russia. We know that the Russian Military have achieved astounding victory in Europe and gaining an upper hand in American soil against our ally, the Americans. So, in case the Russian invaded, we need a plan to save this City and its inhabitants." One of the directors involving the Academy City's welfare explains the situation with a concerned face.

"Well, we don't know when the Russians will invade, we even see the news where the Russians just doing their routine military exercises. They will never invade us because they know what we are capable of." Explain one of the Directors that are in charge on Academy City weapons development.

"But we never know when the Russian will strike; those Russians are very expert in deceiving the enemy. We also never know what they are doing; even our satellite couldn't see what they are doing." The Welfare Director voices his concern.

Arguments between the Directors intensified with the one showing concern and the other one not showing any concern at all. Aleister witness this argument and feels left out of it. He just lamenting and sigh about what has happening until he think an idea.

"Gentlemen, stop arguing each other. I have thought a plan for defending Academy City when this so-called invasion will come." Aleister tries to attract the Directors to hear about his plans.

After a long hour of explanation, they reach a conclusion. With the lack of manpower in Anti-Skill and their reluctant on using Judgment and their Espers for defense purposes, they decided to form a formal conventional military forces known as 'Academy City's Defense Force' or 'ACDF' that is comprised mostly of level 0 Espers and Skill-Out not because of desperation but the City's Board of Director including Aleister sees their existence is a perfect "cannon fodder" to weaken the Russian forces in case they invade.

And Kamijo Touma is one of those unlucky Level 0 whom has been targeted for enlistment.

Sorry for the long story, as usual, please give me a review and the next time I'll try to insert in the VDV or Russian Elite Airborne Troops and probably Touma's reaction of his enlistment in the defense force.
