A C-130 transport type plane flew right above their head. As the craft passes their eyesight, it dropped something, something big.

As the object descent closer and closer to the ground, the group can make out the tanks caterpillar tracks and the cannon barrel. In just seconds, the tank landed right on top of a G500 Mercedes, flatten it on impact.

The vehichles then speed towards the students and made a 90 degrees brake. The hatch then pops open, and a beautiful young woman emerges from it. She wore a JGSDF standard office uniform, accompanied with a beret and a JGSDF emblem on it.

The woman then said to the students "Hiya Everyone! I'm Ami Chouno, Executive Officer and Tank Instructor of the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force"

Saori seems disappointed as she sighs "Ugh… I thought it was going to be a guy"

As Ami jumps off her tank, she said "Well, As you guys already know, there are lots to learn about Sensha-do, but I will do my best to teach you all… SO, let's start with a training game shall we?"

Ami then said "Now, for the basic, Ba- is for movement, Da- is for Operating, Boom- is for firing, and that's all, got it?"

All the other girls was dumbstruck as they don't seems to understand a thing, while Akiyama on the other hand seems rather excited as she said "Woah… she's really informational"

Ami then put both hands on her waists and said "Always remember, Sensha-do starts with respect and END with respect… Now, everyone, bow"

The students quickly does as she said.

Ami then said "Ok, everyone take some times to designate each members's position… a Driver, a Commander, a Radio Operator in case of team matches, a gunner and a loader, inform me when you're done ok?"

Everyone seems to have finished assigning each other. Don's crew was already decided so the guys just make themselves comfortable with Grady picking his nose and flick the booger at Norman, Garcia was eating a octopus ball while Bible was talking to Don about something.

Miho, Akiyama, Saori, Hana and Rezei was looking at each other awkwardly with Rezei said as she poke her head out of the hatch on the left side in the front of the tank "Guys… It's…. really hard to breath in here…"

Hana then look at Miho with a look that say "Miho, you can be our commander"

Miho seems to understand that look as she shook her head slightly as a way of saying "No way Jose"

The girls then look at each other for a whole 5 minutes as if they were having a telepathic conversation before then all shook their head in unison and said to Chouno "Ok miss Chouno, we're ready"

Ami nodded as she shouted "ALRIGHT EVEYONE! MOUNT and FLOOR IT!"

…

Once inside the tank, Miho closed the hatch as she look at Hana who was confusing looking at the two steering sticks and other mechanism as she said "Okkk… what does this do?"

Miho then said to her "First you gotta start the ignition then youEEEEEEK"

Before Miho can finish her sentence, Hana steps on the gas pedal and the tank speed off, with Akiyama shouting "AW YISSSSSSS!".

Meanwhile, as the M3 Lee that belong to the Freshmen team rolls through the shallow water, a voice can be heard from inside the cockpit "Woahhh, my ass is shaking… me likey"

Then another voice can be heard "Ok, according to the internet you can turn left by using… That"

At the same time, The Type 89 Otsu that belong to the Volleyball club team just rammed into a tree, crushing it on impact. As the tank roll over the downed tree, a voice can be heard "TREE!"

Then another voice can be heard "Thank you for your perceptive vision… none of us see that tree being crushed…"

Yet again, at the same, the Ausf.e 38(T) that belong to the Student Coucil was rolling at top speed through another shallow body of water. Yuzu's voice can be heard "President, it's pretty smooth"

Then Anzu's voice can be heard "Yea, it's like sitting on a water cushion…Oh, Hey Momo, I think that Grady guy likes ya…"

Meanwhile, The customized M4 Sherman that belong to Wardaddy's team was rolling toward its starting point aswell,the guys seems to have put a radio inside the cockpit as the song "Have you ever seen the rain" performed by the band CCR can be heard.

In addition, Don, Norman, Garcia,Grady and Boyd's voice can be heard singing along to it; the guys are no singers but they manages to stays with the tune. Then, as the song went on, Don's voice can be heard "Hey Gordo, you're gonna share those balls?... They sure looks delicious…"

…

5 minutes later…

As Saori looks at the map, she said to Miho "Okkk… we're at our team's starting point… sooo, when should we attack?"

Miho then said "I think we should wait and move cautiously, once we fired a shell, chances are the opponents will spots our positions…just keep a lookout"

Saori then said "Then I say we'll hunt down the coucil president's team first"

Hana frowned as she was watching the road "Oh C'mon Saori, you're still hung up on the fact that she lied to you about the instructor being a 'hot as Brad Pitt' hunk?"

Saori's eyes fired up literally as she said "Yes, and as the commander, I say we hunt them down"

The moment she finishes her statement, an explosion shook the tank, startling the girls.

While Hana and Saori was holding their head, Akiyama and Miho pop their hatches and have a peek. They saw a shell crater just one feet away from their vehicle. And about 12 meters away from them was the Type 89, and its cannon was still smoking from the shot.

Miho then shouted "Type 89, 2 o' clock! Get back inside" before she and Akiyama got back into the tank and close the hatches.

Saori then said to Hana "Isuzu, floor it!We're retreating"

As she said so, the Type 89 fires another shell, this one was a near miss.

The Pzkpfw IV then speed forward, running away from the Type 89 which have also began pursuit.

However, before the girls have times to calm down, another tank emerges from behind the large bushes. It was the StuG III, and its cannon have already aimed at the Pzkpfw IV.

Miho then said to Saori "Deploy the chaff smoke! It'll buy us some times"

Saori nodded and does as Miho says.

As the two tanks were pursuing and firing at the Pzkpfw IV, it's back exaust port began spewing out a thick cloud of smoke that covered a large area, lowering the two tanks's visual at the same time.

The Pzkpfw IV then reached a wooden bridge not far from the smoke screen it just put up. Miho look at the bridge for a moment before she said "We gotta cross that bridge girls… that's the only way...wait here"

Miho then pop open the hatch,climbs out of the tank and run toward the bridge.

As she does, the other two tanks are still firing blindly at them inside the smoke screen. While the shells all misses, the explosions and shards are real and they're dangerously close to Miho's running route, yet the girl bravely dashes toward the bridge.

Once Miho was on the bridge, she crouches down to check the structure as she mumbling "Ok… 20 metric tons… plus…" quietly.

Unknown to Miho, a shell from the one of the two tanks bounces off of the Pzkpfw IV's side surface. The shock made Hana passes out, partly also from the pressure she was under.

Akiyama was holding Hana as she said to Saori "This is not good… miss Isuzu fainted… without her, we can't move…"

Rezei still look as calm as the moment she climb into the tank, the girl then look through the small window to see Miho who have got back on her feet and was signaling the tank to move forward.

Rezei then jumps on Hana's lap and man the driving sticks and the pedals before she said "Lay her down… I'll drive"

Saori shouted panickingly "Are you nuts?"

Rezei calmly replied "Just shut it and watch the smoke screen for me" as she took the driving guide book and just glances through each and every pages before she drop it on the ground and hit the gas.

Miho have just made it back in just in time, once she see Hana laying on Saori's lap, girl asked "Wah… is she ok? What happened?"

Saori said "She was stressed out, let her rest"

Miho and said "Wait..so who's driving?"

Rezei just bluntly replied "Me" as she speed toward the bridge.

Once the Pzkpfw IV was at the middle of the bridge, Saori pop the hatch and peek out. To her horror, the smoke screen that was protecting them have completely disappeared, fully exposing their location once more.

Furthermore, they're still on the bridge and until they reach the other side, evading the StuG III and the Type 89's shells is nearly impossible.

Saori panickingly shouted "Oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit, the Smoke Screen's gone"

Rezei calmly replied "I know I know…" as she steps on the gas once more, increasing the tank's speed.

Once the Pzkpfw IV reached the other side, Miho shouted "Rezei! HALT"

Rezei didn't waste a moment stepping on the brake, putting the tank on a full stop.

At the same time, Hana finally woke up as she asked "Did…did we win?"

Miho suddenly smiles as she said "No… but we won't lose that easily either…"

She then turns to Akiyama and said "Rotate the turret 90 degree"

Akiyama nodded and does so.

Miho then said "Aim at the StuG III, raises the center dot about 2 cm above the hull then fire"

Akiyama then does so and steps on the trigger.

The cockpit shook as the shell ignites and exit the barrel, pierce through the air and hit the StuG III right in its front hull.

Akiyama still observing from her window, as the smoke cleared, she saw a white flag pop out of the StuG III's turret, indicating that it was eliminated for being hit.

Needless to say, Akiyama smiled at what she just did while Hana said "You know… it's… actually feels pretty good… especially the vibration when we fired that shell… I think I'm gonna like this…"

Miho then said "We're not done yet girls, Akiyama, next target Type 89… raise center dot 1 cm above the turret then fire"

Akiyama does so and fires a shell at the Type 89 right before it got on the bridge.

As the smoke cleared, the girls can see a white flag pops out from the Type 89's turret.

Before anyone can say anything, Miho saw the M3 Lee and the 38(T) emerges from behind bushes.

"2 more from behind Yukari" Saori says panicking slightly.

Miho then said to Yukari "Yukari, you know what to do"

Yukari just steps on the trigger.

The moment the shell flew out, shaking the cockpit, Miho immediately opens the chamber and loads another shell.

Yukari then took a deep breath before she held it in and adjust the centre dot once more. And once again, she didn't waste anytime flooring the trigger, sending another shell out at its target.

As both cloud of smokes cleared, everyone can see clearly two white flags pops out from the two tanks turrets.

Ami was observing from an air control tower that provide full view of the training ground. The instructor slowly lower her binoculars with her eyes shines bright as she said "Truly impressive, Miho is as good as I remember her."

Then Ami's voice can heard through the team's radio "The final result, 3 teams eliminated, leaving Team- A The final winner! Good Job everyone!"
