The snow kept falling from the heavy dark clouds that hung above the battlefield in the night sky. While waiting around, Erwin checked the thermometer on the side of her teams StuG III for the tempature.
"Current temprature is almost forty degrees?" Erwin annouced.
Almost all the girls nearby groaned, with the exception of Koume Akaboshi and a few others who were shivering instead.
"Let's face it. We are all going to freeze out here." grumbled Erika.
"Cheer up." Yukari smiled, "At least we're warm around the fire."
In the distanse, Maho returned to her tank.
"The thickness of the snow is also getting the best of us." she said.
"I wonder if this is going to be like last year." Erika sighed.
"Maybe a little more servere." said another girl sitting around the fire, "This is basically Pravda High conditions we are dealing with here."
"Back to what I was saying about 'Cold Climates'." Maho reminded.
The girls of Kuromorimine all sat in a big circle around the raging fire that they had made and began to think about their next strategy for attacking Pravda. For a while, they all just sat there, gazing at the fire and listening to the hollowing of the wind. Some of the girls of Black Forest Peak wondered what Pravda was doing at the same time.
"Im hungry." said a girl from one of the Panther teams.
Yukari got up from her place around the fire and looked into the ration bags.
"We don't really have much." she said.
"Save the food until we are really hungry." Erwin instructed, "That way, there's enough for everyone."
Maho stood in the snow for a while before she remembered something. She walked to her Tiger I and pulled out a leather bookbag that was hanging on a rack inside the turret. Once she collected her gear, she wondered over to Yukari.
"Akiyama-san, may I have a word with you?"
Yukari's face began to turn pale at the sound of this. She slowly got up from her spot and walked over to Maho.
"Let us go for a little walk, shall we?" Maho adressed in a reassuring voice.
"Of course, Kommandant?" Yukari smiled, realizing that she wasn't in trouble.
As the two walked away, Maho turned back to Erwin.
"I need you and Itsumi-san to go inspect our enemies positions. When your finished, report back here."
"As you wish, Kommandant." Erika nodded.
"Understood." Erwin replied tipping her hat forward.
The two friends walked through a building and out into the snowy streets of the war torn city, away from the river. Once Maho and Yukari had travelled a certain distance away from the others, Maho sat on top of a burnt out car, while Yukari stood in front of her and looked up. The Nishizumi Captain felt her stomach twist as she opened the bookbag that she brought along with her.
"What's the matter, Kommandant? You look very worried."
"You have waited a long time for this and now, I'm going to show it to you." Maho said pulling out a piece of folded paper.
"Is that the note from Nishizumi-dono?" Yukari gasped.
Maho didn't know that Yukari called Miho by that name, however, she didn't ask Yukari what it meant.
"Indeed, it is." Maho sighed while carefully unfolding the letter, "I have reframed myself from reading it until now. So, I will read it to you since we are alone."
"Please! I have been dying to find out what that letter says."
Maho finished unfolding the paper and began to read the message to Yukari word by word.
"Dear Mother, I know that it has been a good deal of time since I have last spoke with you and my sister, but this message that I have sent is very urgent."
"Urgent? Why is it so urgent?" Yukari wondered.
Maho continued, "Times have been very tough here in Ooarai. Our Tankery Class and other academic clubs have been slowly decreasing day by day and our money problem with Saunders University High has affected us heavily. As you would expect, things are not going very well. Recently, there has been an annoucment at school, confirming the closure of the school in a few weeks and the overall desolation of the ship. I feel somewhat fearful once I heard this, because I have no place to stay once this takes effect."
Yukari began to bite her fingernails as Maho paused.
"Your school was closing down?" Maho asked.
"Like I said when we first met." Yukari mentioned.
Maho kept on reading, "As you have probably guessed by now, this letter is a message reaching out to you for support. I believe that I am on my own once Ooarai is closed down and I might not have a place to stay because of this. I am desperately calling out to you, Mother, with one simple request..."
Both girls produced a small choking sound in their throats.
"May I please return to the Nishizumi Household."
"Home!" Yukari bursted, "She wanted to come home."
"Unbeleivable. Why did she kill herself, though?" Maho wondered.
Her hands were shaking after she finshed reading, causing the paper to fall out of her hands. Then, Yukari pointed to the ground.
"Look! There's another paper!" she exclaimed.
Maho thought to herself before bending down to pick up the papers that had been dropped.
"My copy?" Maho read with question, "This looks like my mot-"
She stopped right as she was about to say mother.
"This looks like the Instructors handwriting."
"Read it. It might be something important." Yukari chanted.
Maho slowly began to read the paper to herself. When her eyes began to skim the bottom portion of the paper for clues, she began to tear up. Yukari became uncomfortable by this and asked what was wrong.
"Oh." Maho covered her eyes, "You don't want to know."
The Nishizumi Heiress dropped the paper in the snow and began to cry out loud. Yukari was speechless at the sight of seeing such a serious person like Maho, suddenly start sobbing. She picked up the paper and read it herself. In no less than 15 seconds later, Yukari too, began to cry.
"All she wanted to do was to come home! She only wanted to do what was best for her loved ones!" Yukari wailed tearing up Shiho's copy of the paper denying Miho's return.
"Why would mother do something so cruel? So wicked?" Maho whimpered as the cold wind stung her cold cheeks and wet eyes.
"Mother? Mother?! That was your Mother?!" Yukari screamed in a hoarse and angry voice, "You never mentioned that that was Mother!"
Maho slowly came to a stand.
"I'm afraid that she is not just my mother, but the mother of all of us now." Maho sniffed.
Yukari was speechless. She couldn't believe everything that was happening to her. The Ugly Truth, on top of the battle and on top of the freezing cold caused her to fall to her knees and produce a barely audible squeal. Maho lowered herself to the ground and tried to help her ally up. Pretty soon, Yukari was bawling in devastation from the news that she received. The two sat down in one of the buildings and both shared tears with each other as the storm continued.
Meanwhile, Erika and Erwin were further down river, holding out inside an old worn down apartment building. To keep themselves warm, the two started up a fire in the fireplace in one of the rooms. Even though the room they chose had no holes in the roof or walls, it was still cold.
"We should begin by spying through that window." Erwin insisted.
"Good Idea." Erika approved.
Very carefully, Erwin shattered the glass of the busted window and poked the telescope instrument out the opening. Erika kept watch at the door, to make sure nobody that wasn't welcome was following them. Erwin grumbled to herself when she pulled away from the window.
"I can barely see anything."
"Ja, I would expect." Erika replied, "There's a damn blizzard outside right now."
"Perhaps, when the winds begin to settle down again, we can do some more observing."
The two sat down in the middle of the room and stared down at the floor.
"What do you think those threats are doing across the river right now?" Erika asked.
"Plotting and planning, I suppose." Erwin shrugged.
"You seem like a fine Commander. Tell me a little more about yourself."
Erwin was surprised that anyone would want to hear what she had to say about history or tanks, but she remembered that her and her ally were stuck in the middle of a match, while a storm was blowing about outside.
"What would you like to hear first?" Erwin asked.
"Your tactics." Erika answered, "Tell me what makes your tactics as good as the Kommandants."
"Tactics are very important, especially when your up against a dangerous enemy like Pravda High."
Erika suddenely realized that she was about to reveive a lecture, rather than a straight forward answer to a question. She yawned as she sat back and listened to what Erwin had to say. In the building where Yukari and Maho were in, the two were talking quietly with each other about random topics. Both of them were gazing in the opposite directions of each other.
"Tell me more about this Nishizumism that you were told about."
"Its kind of complex, but its like a new way of thinking for our school." Maho said, "I can't bring myself to think what it will look like when its completely fufilled."
"I don't really like the sound of it. It sort of creeps me out." Yukari shivered.
"Why do you think its bad?" Maho asked.
"It reminds about the day when we beat Pravda. I wonder where all the girls in those buses went? Where do you think they were going?"
"I don't really know exactly. Probably nowhere bad."
Yukari stomped her foot on the staircase, "Well, one of those KCAF Girls told me that I will never see them ever again!"
"That girl was probably fooling with you. Even girls from Kuromorimine can be ignorant-"
Yukari interrupted, "No no no. Im telling you that she was serious when she told me this."
"Well, it now sounds like my next job that I'm going to take on." Maho said, "I hope that the answer I find is helpful."
"Your Mother... I mean, our Instructor is really strict." Yukari said correcting herself.
"She has always been a little prideful of herself." Maho sighed, "Its just something that we all have to get used to."
The two yawned.
"Tired?" Maho asked.
"Yeah, and a little cold too." Yukari answered letting her eyes close for a moment.
"Try your best to get some sleep, we can talk more about this after the match is over."
Both girls streched themselves on the staircase and tried to dose off the best they could. Yukari curled up on the stair and leaned her head against the wall. Maho looked down at her feet and attempted to kick the snow out the top of her cold boots.
"Kommandant?" Yukari whispered.
"Huh?"
"Did you and Miho have a good friendship together?"
Maho sadly smiled, "We had a very close relationship with each other. Especially, when we were younger. She would always follow me around and ask me what I was doing. She always wished that she could grow up faster, so we could ride in tanks together."
"How much did you love her?" Yukari whispered again.
A tear came to Maho's eye, "More than any other sister in the world."
"That's nice." Yukari answered smacking her lips together.
Maho wiped her eyes as she heard Yukari finally doze off to sleep. She slowly got up and walked outside. For a while, Maho stood out in the snow, letting the small white flacks settle on her shoulders and head. From within the depths of her conscience, Maho could hear the voices of her and Miho from long ago.
"I want to ride a tank, too!" said the small happy voice of a younger Miho, "I want to become just like Onee-Chan: Gentle and Cool!"
"Like me, you say?" echoed the voice of a younger Maho, "Let's see...After Miho becomes a bit bigger."
"When that time comes, we will ride together." Maho murmured, "Thats what I always said."
The Captain of Black Forest Peak returned to the building and found Yukari still sleeping where Maho had left her. Sitting herself down, Maho suddenely felt Yukari's head fall on her lap. At first, she was stunned by how much of a heavy sleeper Yukari was, but eventually, Maho eased up. She placed her hands on Yukari's head and smiled.
"You will be fine, my dear friend." Maho whispered, "Nothing bad will come your way."
Back at the apartment building, Erwin was finally finishing up her anwser about the tactics she uses.
"...And this concludes my answer to your question about what tactics I use in combat." Erwin ended short of breath.
"Are you done yet? We have enemies to keep our eyes opened for." Erika groaned.
Erwin walked over to the window and looked outside. From across the way, she found herself staring at a KV-2 and a KV-1S pointing their guns in her direction. She gulped as she backed away from the window. From a distanse, Maho heard the sound of cannon fire. The explosion caused Maho to flinch, while the jolt caused Yukari to wake from her snooze and fall down the stairs on her bottom. When she got up from her fall, she mumbled with pain.
"Do I hear gunfire?" Yukari asked.
"Yes. We must return to the group." Maho confirmed.
"Damnit! What is going on!?" Erika exclaimed.
Erwin looked out of the telescope at the other side of the river. On the shorelines, the remaining Pravda tanks were firing random shots at Kuromorimines side of the river, attempting to force Black Forest Peak out of their hiding spots and into the open.
"Do you see any coming across?" Erika asked covering her head.
"Negatory!" Erwin shouted, "Just enemy vehicles firing from across the way."
"We need to get back to the teams. They might be in disorder."
Back on the frozen shoreline, the firefight was beginning to intensify. Behind the fog that had settled over the river, an enormous shining light penetrated through the mist. Pravda was finally coming back across the river again and Kuromorimine wasn't ready.
"Where in the world are our main commanders at?" asked a girl inside one of the tanks.
"I have no idea, but we have to go looking for them." said another girl.
"The enemy is coming closer and closer by the minute and you want to go running out looking for them!?"
Soon, a fiery arguemet of yelling and insults broke out across the fire, until another loud boom from across the water hit the shoreline. From the smoke, a white flag popped out of a elimanated Panther.
"Excellent!" Katyusha exclaimed with joy, "You got another one."
Nonna moved her face away from the Gunners Scope and sighed, "Waiting for your next orders, Comrade Katyusha."
Maho, Yukari, Erwin and Erika finally returned to the others just as Pravda was about to hit the frozen beach. Once she was back inside her Tiger I, Maho began giving out orders. The crews began to retreat up the coast edge and up onto the streets behind several burnt out buildings. The Pravda tanks began to storm out of the water carrier and onto the land. From the higher elevation, Kuromorimine had the advantage. They simply began to fire shots down onto the fortified beach and began blowing away vehicle after vehicle of Pravda's. Only a few minutes into the assault and there was smoke and disiel fuel everywhere. The black liquid stained the snow, turning the crisp clean white color into a mucky brown and black mixture.
Katyushas forces lost three T-34-85's and the schools KV-1. It seemed like all of the tanks were going to be lost, until a lucky shot from the distant SU-100 team knocked out a Panther. All the other teams began to shoot back and started to shake the foundation of Kuromorimines defenses. When she realized that her teammates couldn't handle the pressure anymore, Yukari got on the radio.
"All teams fall back and protect the Flag Tank!" she shouted.
Just like that, all the vehicles started to retreat. Pravda began the trechourous treak up the hill.
"This is the Flag Tank team." reported a girl from one of the Panthers, "Where do you want us to hide?"
"Go to the square!" shouted Erika, "We are planning to hold out there."
Meanwhile, a few Black Forest tanks began to storm across the snow covered city to the edge of the map, where they prepared for Pravda to come up the coastline further down the way. However, what the squads didn't know, was that Pravda already had forces that had punched through that sector and were flanking the city limits to strike their enemies from behind. The Kuromorimine girls noticed this, when a T-34 knocked out Koume and her teams Panzer III from a distanse.
"They're behind us! Turn your vehicles around!"
Two more Jagdpanzer IV's swiftely turned their hulls around and continued firing. Kicking up snow from the ground, the enemy team drove pass them into cover. In the city, the fighting began to intensify even more. While digging in for the fight, Kuromorimine managed to scare Pravda away with their heavy armor. With almost the entire team retreating to cover, Katyusha gave Nonna the word to hold her fire. Protected by the cover of two collapsed building, the girls waited for Black Forest Peak to make their move, but nothing happened. Minutes passed and still nothing.
"I'm beginning to lose my patience with all of you. Go out there and destroy them!" Katyusha shouted.
"Oh, Comrade Katyusha. The enemy is litterally waiting for us around the corner, though."
"Pravda Protocol - Double Two Seven, you fools! Don't forget about it or else!"
Even though that Kuromorimine was not coming their way, Pravda sent a scouting group of girls out into the open war torn square to investigate Kuromorimines positions. Quick to react to this, Maho ordered the Maus crew to fire a shot into the sky to scare away the pesky scouting party. Successfully, the super heavy prototype frightened the scouts and sent them running back in the opposite direction.
"Nonna! Which tank belongs to those girls out there!?" Katyusha viciously demanded.
"The T-28, Great Comrade Katyusha." Nonna answered calmly.
"Wonderful, blow it to smitherings!" Katyusha returned in a bitter and sarcastic tone.
Pretty soon, the sound of cannon fire filled the air and Pravda's T-28 Medium layed as a smoking heap between the buildings.
"That...That right there, is what will happen if you don't follow the Pravda Protocol - Double Two Seven! Now, come together and let's think of a plan!"
With cannons poking out of snowy trench holes, Black Forest Peak waited with much anticipation for Pravda to peer their heads out from the buildings. Above the buildings, Maho and the others noticed the color of the burning morning sun beginning to rise above the buildings.
"Morning has come, Kommandant." said Erwin.
"Very well. This will be their last stand." Maho replied checking her watch.
The sound of the wind howling across the snow and mud covered square caused shivers to travel down everyone's spine, for they did not know about what was going to happen. Katyusha and the remaining tanks of Pravda lined up at the end of one side of the square and waited. Erika and a few others were about to shoot them, but Maho told her platoon to hold their fire. In the distance, Katyusha and Nonna were seen talking to one another about something, but Maho and the others couldn't hear what it was.
"All units, choose your targets carefully and prepare to fire on my mark." Yukari instructed.
Across the square, their was a loud chanting sound, followed by a flood of Pravda tanks storming through the mud. When the firing began, the Maus had taken position in the front of Kuromorimine and began to fire at the destroyed barricades Pravda was using as cover for their advance. Nonna's IS-2 suddenely sped out of protective cover and started for the buildings, causing the Maus to follow her. While in the open, the girls of Pravda started to try and flee from the area, but Katyusha forced them to keep advancing.
The Maus came in contact with the KV-2 while trying to pursuit Nonna and fired a powerful round past the heavy. The force rocked the tank back and forth, but failed to hit it. The round from the Maus's opposer managed to slightly damaged the prototype, however, the enormous metal monster returned fire and blasted the side of the KV-2 away, eliminated it. The round also caused the left track to fly off the tank and into the air.
"Nonna!" Katyusha squeaked from behind the other tanks, "Your our Flag Tank, so don't die!"
"Understood." she replied.
"Kommandant, the enemy is not coming out from cover!" Erika called.
"Keep the pressure on them and they will eventually come out." Maho ordered.
In the narrow streets of the battlefield, Nonna kept persuading the Maus to follow her. After an exchange of shots, the IS-2 fled to another street. Slowly and slowly, the Maus's shells kept getting more and more accurate to Pravda's Flag Tank.
"This isn't good, Commander." cried the IS-2's Radio Operator.
"Have courage, Comrade." Nonna reassured, "We will stop this threat."
Storming down a long narrow street, Nonna and her crew noticed two friendly T-34's at the other end.
"Comrade Nonna, turn left!" screamed one of the T-34 Commanders.
With quick reflexes, Pravda's Vice Captain ordered the IS-2 Driver to turn left. The heavy tank swerved its hull to the left and drifted into cover. The Maus, who was preoccupied with the other T-34's at the end of the street, continued down the road. The crew was completely unaware of the hazard that layed ahead on the road.
Out of nowhere, the giant tank began to descend into the thick sleet. The frontal nose of the super heavy started to also slide into the white slippery trap.
"Back up!" screamed the Maus Commander, "Back us up now!"
It was too late. The next thing they knew, the Maus was falling downwards and finally, slammed its nose onto the ground. The sound of the crashing noise filled the air, as the tank came crashing down onto the ground with its turret upside down and it's cannon bent in half. The pressure against the fuel tank from the impact caused a flood of hot steaming oil to splash out all over the ground. From the perspective of everybody else, the Maus had fallen upside into a huge pit hidden by snow. Moreover, it was a large trap.
The event of the Maus falling into the trap and eliminating itself brought a sense of burning pride to the teams of Pravda High and caused them to let out a long loud shout of triumph mixed with anger.
"We have been eliminated." reported the Maus Radio Operator.
"We are all dead." Erika said spastically.
"If you are defending, make your defense as strong and as hard as iron!" Erwin exclaimed.
In a state of disorder and of fear in losing the game, the girls of Black Forest Peak began to back their tanks against the building behind them, preparing themselves for the unforgiving attack. A midst the chaos, Kuromorimine forgot about their Flag Tank and how unprotected it was to the enemy.
KA-BOOM!
There was a loud explosion and the Panther Flag Tank was found stuck in the snowy mess beneath its tracks. From behind the rubble of the building behind Kuromorimine, Nonna and the other T-34's poked their guns out from the structure.
"Fantastic! You have finished them off!" Katyusha shouted with glee.
"Its over." Yukari sadly answered.
While looking around at the worn torn battlefield, Maho realized that there were at least 12 tanks or so still standing. There was also another layer of fresh snow coming down from the crisp early morning sky. A group of Official vehicles came towards the two tankery teams, followed by the three main girl judges walking over to the crews.
"Greetings everybody." introduced a judge.
Another one of the three came forward, "Due to the mid-round tournament match, the winning school has the ability to make the other school do whatever they want them to do, as long as its appropriate, of course."
An evil smile ran across Katyusha's face.
"Yes, we will make the other team do what we want them to do."
With that being said, the judges began to load all of the tanks together to take them back to the staging areas. Feeling confident of their victory, the girls of Pravda slowly began to creep closer towards the surrounded girls of Kuromorimine.
"Anything we want, huh?" snickered the stout and arrogant leader, "I say we show these fools what true Pravda weather feels like. Anyone agree with me?"
None of the other girls answered.
Katyusha was furious, "I said, 'Does anyone agree with me!?' Say yes or I will have you purged as well!"
Just like that, all of the Pravda teams began to agree with their captain and started complimenting her as a hero.
"Oh, Great Comrade Katyusha, what shall we make these losers do?" the girls asked.
"Tread! I say we make them tread! Ten times around the map in the snow!" Katyusha boomed, "Afterwards, we will make them sit in the snow for an hour while we keep warm around a roaring fire!"
There was nothing that Kuromorimine could do to stop them, so they all had to tread ten times around the map. Even though it was day, there was no sun in the sky and the air was chilling with snowflakes and particles of ice. As the girls of Black Forest Peak walked through ankle deep snow, they began to wonder if their Captain was the main reason for them faltering during the last few games, while others simply called it bad luck or misfortune.
After a miserable march through the cold, they were told to sit in the snow and watch as Pravda Cossack danced around a large victory fire. The warm breath from their mouths and their body heat was the only real source of warmth that Kuromorimine had.
"Damn them!" Erika cursed, "How do they live in this Hell?"
"They're specialized in this sort of combat. To them, its like a stroll across No Mans Land during a cease fire." Erwin shivered.
"Kommandant, I'm cold." Koume shook.
"Don't worry." Maho replied, "We will get through this."
Maho turned to Yukari, who was sitting alone and silently reading the paper that Miho had written. From the looks of it, Akiyama was still having a tough time accepting the fact that not only her dearest friend was gone, but also that the old way of Panzerkraft on Ooarai was dead as well. Maho's face became downcast as she waited for Black Forest Peaks penalty to end.
Upon returning to the school, the Tankery team felt like they have suffered a heavy defeat from their foes. Maho and Yukari felt worse compared to the others, mostly due to the fact that the two have unveiled the truth to each other. They felt like traitors to their allies, but also felt special and somewhat fortunate to know such secretive information. Shiho Nishizumi, who was standing slightly limped over and aged, met with all of the girls in the tank hangar. Shortly afterwards, Kikuyo and a few KCAF Girls entered with the students as well. Once they had all flooded into the garages and have seated themselves comfortably, Shiho told everyone to sit on top of their vehicles.
"Failure has been a common nemesis for the Sisterhood of Iron Will. However, you girls should feel a sense of pride for yourselves."
The Tankery team all looked at each other with emotionless stares. Midoriko 'Sodoko' Sono, leader of the KCAF Girls Club, stepped forward with her clipboard in hand.
"You should all be proud of yourselves. The problem from within our education system has been decreased by ten fold. While you girls were away, our school has been very active at completing this large assignment."
"There was a rally yesterday, where the students of the school were destined to make a better campus for all of us. Would you girls like to see a clip of these events?" Kikuyo asked.
After an overwhelming agreement from the crowd, a large television screen was displayed from the top of garage entrance. When the blue screen and static had ceased, an image appeared of a multitude of Kuromorimine school girls waving banners and flags in front of the Main Administrative Building. On a second floor platform that was recently built, Shiho was seen coming out dressed in an expensive gray and black womans business suit and a long tan jacket around herself. She was accompanied by Kikuyo, Sodoko and the entire Kuromorimine Girls High School Student Council.
There were banners on the sides of the Administrative Building that talked about labeling the "Slackers" and the "Feeble Minded" as a group of students that were causing problems for the school. Then, a woman's voice from the video began to speak.
"The ousting of the troublesome students of Kuromorimine has almost reached its goal. The school is now taking much more heavier measures in dealing with the problem."
The image flashed to a classroom where a teacher was watching her students work while she patrolled the room with a large yard stick in her hand. The teacher noticed a student peering over at another students work, causing the teacher to slam the ruler upon the desk. Then, the girl was escorted out of the room by a KCAF Girl.
"Even though the problem is still at large, your staff, teachers and fellow KCAF Club is doing their best in dealing with the problem students."
The image flashed to a long line of girls being let out of school buses into a fenced in campus. They went into a large building at the end of the compound and took their seats in a classroom.
"Though they are trouble to us now, they won't be forever. Thanks to the decision made by our great principle, Mrs. Nishizumi, we are able to work together to find a solution."
The video came to a scene where a group of girls in the compound are preparing themselves for their daily lessons.
"As you can see, these girls were rebellious and troublesome when they have first arrived on one of the many specialized teaching campuses located on Kuromorimine. Now, after a few months of lessons and drills, they are better than ever."
Around her, Yukari could her the voices of other girls agreeing with what the video was telling them. The movie came to a scene where a Kuromorimine Civil Administrative Forces Girl and a Compound Girl were seen having a conversation to each other about how great the school was compared to Saint Gloriana's.
"Here is another good example of what the teachings for the "Slacker" and "Feeble Minded" has done to them. They have learned to have a proper conversation with this KCAF Girl and how to answer with a proper response and a meaningful discussion topic."
The video concluded with another shot of Shiho talking to the students in an assembly about the school in general.
"Remember, our Principle and her advisors are your best friends. Don't forget to also favor our Student Council for their great choices and precise decision making for us and other students here at Kuromorimine Girls High School."
The video ended with the playing of the schools new anthem and with the words: RULE AND CONQUER, flashing across the screen. The Panzerkraft Teams began to burst into conversation about the information that they were just fed to. Many of them began to comment on how great their Principle was and how they should react when they caught a student acting out of their place. Even Erwin and Koume Akaboshi began to chat with a few other students about how great the ongoing agenda of Kuromorimine's Student Council was and how it would improve down the road later on.
Out of all of the girls in crowd, Maho Nishizumi and Yukari Akiyama were silent over the matter. For they will soon learn that Black Forest Peaks current agenda will have a much more negative impact on the girls than what they have expected.
