Chapter 1: "The Beginning"
Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, on top of a School-ship, a young boy in clad-dark uniform looks through outside the window, aimlessly and in silence.
His eyes can see the hundreds upon hundreds of houses and buildings, topple that with a thousand of trees and greenish fertility of vegetation across the top deck of their School-ship. The sound of a door creaking then catches his attention altogether.
"Haupsturmführer, the Führer awaits you inside." The young boy in similar clothing announces, avoiding eye contact whatsoever as to the person he's addressing gives an ominous vibe.
Dark brown eyes that imitate the color of total darkness, brown like wood of a hair, and his menacing black uniform; consists of a black wool double-breasted jacket, matching black trousers and boots, and an Insignia of a black upside-down T with 4 golden circles embedded on his collar patch.
The Haumpsturmführer enters the spacious office; the quiet and the calming atmosphere suddenly gets engulf with the Haupsturmführer's presence in the room. The room's interior is designed with classical intricate architecture and expensive furniture, except for a game corner at the literal corner of the office, making the office a bit unique.
There he walks towards the center of the office upon hearing the door behind him closes with a long creak. He now stands in front of a wooden desk and a black office chair. The chair turns around and finally faces him.
A young male in a similar uniform turns around and welcomes him with a warm and welcoming smile. He has black messy hair, dark-red eyes, sharing the same height as him, and has this pleasant and approachable aura, the opposite from what's in front of him.
"Haumpsturmführer of the Vorhut Sensha-dō Geschwader and Kommandant of the Panzerwaffe of JIGA, Eirian Wittmann, reporting in." The Haumpsturmführer reports in.
"At ease, Eirian. Sit down." The Führer gestures him to take a seat, in which Eirian complies.
"Is there something you need from me, Rommel?" Eirian asks.
"Ja. I called you here because we got some important matters on our hand, again."
"This came from the top brass itself, so feel proud that we're entrusting you this," Rommel adds while letting out a quick chuckle at him.
Taking out a small brown envelope under his desk and puts it on top of it before sliding it towards him, giving him a classified and secret matter that sparks the Captain's curiosity as he takes it without hesitation.
He opens the envelope and there he sees a picture of a young girl, probably around the same age as him.
"Who's this?" Eirian asks as the girl in the photo is completely alien to him, but what surprises him, even more, is her uniform, a dark-uniform that's reminiscent of design from their uniforms, though it seems apparent that both of their uniforms came from one source, and that's the Panzer uniform that the Germans used during WW2.
"You probably heard the prestigious family in Japan and their school; the Nishizumi Family and Kuromorimine Girls Academy, a wannabe German School like us." Rommel starts to explain.
"That lovely girl right there is none other than the one and only, Nishizumi Miho. The youngest daughter of the Nishizumi Family." He begins, "according from our intelligence, she was reportedly transferring to an unknown school in Ibaraki Prefecture, specifically in the town of Ōarai, a relatively small and quiet town. But what sets this town apart from the others is that this town has their own School-ship, the Zuikaku."
"And why does this thing a concern exactly?" Eirian asks while raising his eyebrow as he is in doubt and disbelief that they're talking about a former Kuromorimine student transferring to a peaceful school.
"The top brass wants you to investigate her, regardless if she's a spy or not. Since they are quite paranoid from their unfortunate meeting with the Nishizumis." Rommel explains.
"Are you perhaps referring to the Bet?"
"Exactly. The Bet will determine if whether or not the 'Modernization Policy' will validate in Japan, making them probably one of the last nations in the world to standardize in order to cope with the World's Recrelympics."
"In order to allow Japan, experience the Recrelympics like the rest of the world, they must change their ways with their management to sports such as Sensha-dō, by making it a mixed-gender as the first step." Rommel summarizes the thing Eirian needs to know about the Bet.
"Therefore. We, the students of the Japanese beeinflusste die Duestsche Akademie, or JIGA, must and will have to defeat the JPSF's representative in order to change the landscape of Japan's Panzerkraft, for good." Rommel declares with a smirk on his face, confidently his eyes start to gleam.
"And what better way to stop one of their plans than exploiting this eminent danger from Nishizumi Miho. That's the reason why I called you here, Eirian." He starts to lean in, "I want you to go to this Nishizumi's new school, find her, befriend her, and exploit her."
"So, an undercover mission?"
"Pretty much! And with your recent achievements and performances, I think you'll do fine at this mission, my dear friend." Rommel assures him.
"I see… So, when will I start my mission then?"
"Exactly 2 hours from now. Better get your stuff ready because you'll be enrolling to Ōarai Academy, the school that is on top of Ōarai's only School-ship, the 'Auspicious Crane' Zuikaku."
"Jawohl. And also, can you tell the others that I'm going back to Germany than doing a mission, I don't really want one of them to bombard me with calls again…" Eirian asks a favor.
"Is this your Hairro-dere speaking?" Rommel jokes.
"No. I just think that it's a necessary move to conceal myself in this mission." Eirian sternly explains.
"I think that's already common knowledge, Eirian… but fine, I'll be covering you from now on." Rommel heaves a sigh as the joke just passes through his head.
"Thank you."
"Once again, Eirian Braun Wittmann, or perhaps, Eirian Haiiro. Your mission is to infiltrate Ōarai Academy. There you must find and befriend Nishizumi Miho, after that, get all the necessary evidence and then exploit her plans, for the sake of JIGA, Japan, and for Recrelympics as well. We have our eyes on you, don't forget that." He gives the last brief to Eirian after Eirian starts to stand up from his seat.
"Jawohl. I'll take my leave now, if you excuse me." Eirian bids his farewell to Rommel before he turns around and walks out of the room, leaving the Führer of JIGA alone in his office, in return Rommel starts to lean back in his chair before turning it around.
Seeing the rows and rows of warehouses with dark silhouette vehicles parked in front of it below him through the office's massive glass panes, Rommel mutters to himself something which causes him to smile ear-to-ear.
"With the pieces ready and place, things will get interesting from now on."
