Chip 002: Enter Infinite Stratos

Sighing, a student of IS Academy sat at his desk as he barely escaped the bombarding questions from nearly all of the girls that saw him. All they asked him was if they could get an inquiry about the IS that went haywire and how he fought it off with his Byakushiki Second Shift. Orimura Ichika was his name and he had to endure going to IS Academy for three years, which actually helped him meet his old childhood friends as well as other representative cadets. As time progressed, he listened to almost all of the same topics as the day before which were all related to the Silver Gospel and his Byakushiki.

"Everyone, please quiet down and take your seats!" a green haired teacher spoke as she stood behind the podium and a black haired teacher stood off to the left side of the podium, "There's a new student I'd like to introduce today. This is Leo Infinitus, let's all greet him warmly."

Another male stood before the class, his piercing blood red eyes observed the classroom and took in all of the information. There were two males in the class, including Leo while the rest of the class was full with girls. Of course, at the sight of another male got most of the girls to get excited except for four.

"Stop fawning over him," a stern voice spoke out as the statement was completely ignored before a hand was raised from a student, "What is it?"

"Question for Infinitus-kun, how come you're attending IS Academy now?" a girl with her hair sticking out like ears asked, "Wouldn't it have been better to have transferred in earlier?"

No response came from Leo as he stood in place and looked passive before he turned his head towards the girl. Of course, the blood red eyes seemed quite off for someone with black hair and most would think he was the violent type of person, but instead the air was calm.

"I had my own personal issues thanks to certain developments. It's been in the recent month that I've awoke and returned home, only to find that my family had left me in a comatose state, leaving for a different country. Thanks to one of my father's old associate, I was being taken care of until I got confirmation from the government saying that I was able to pilot an IS. I'm not entirely sure why, but the person that was taking care of me had me take the IS aptitude test under a guise," Leo spoke in a strong voice and looked at the girl that had asked him the question earlier, "Any other questions?"

There was no response as Leo was ready for the teacher to tell him where to sit until a question rang out from one of the girls.

"Are you really a guy?"

Silence entered the class as Leo stood in place with a straight face. Not a single emotion what so ever came from him when he heard that question and some whispers traveled through the class. Now Ichika was seated in the front of the class and from the looks on his face, he looked a bit irked for some reason, but there had been an incident where one of the transfer students that attend the IS Academy pretended to be a male. Now, he was thinking that what if there was another incident like that again with this other male named Leo Infinitus.

Leo opened his mouth a small bit, but kept his words to himself as the black haired teacher walked up to the podium.

"Alright that's enough question as it is," she spoke as her stern voice shut down all the whispers that floated in the class, "We're not going to question his gender. Orimura, I want you to take care of Infinitus for the time being. Now, I want all of you to get ready for a mock battle. Meet me down at ground 3 later."

All female students in the class answered in unison as Ichika walked up to Leo. Before there was a single word spoken, Leo saw Ichika's face and nodded his head as if they were conversing without words.

"Understood," he said as Ichika just ran out the door and Leo soon followed him out the door.

Out in the hall, Ichika stopped immediately as girls from Class 1 just ran out as well and looked at them with curious expressions. No, it was more of an expression of wanting to know a certain thing from someone that stood behind him.

"Ugh… we might be late for class if this is happening," Ichika spoke as he took a step back and felt someone's hand on his back. Taking a look back, Leo was standing behind him and there were girls behind them now as well.

"I can get us out of this, but can you land properly?" Leo asked as there was no response from Ichika, who seemed a bit confused by what he was asking, "I take that as a no… Well, I'll still get us out of it."

Ichika turned around to say something, but Leo took him by the arm and swung Ichika in a circle before tossing him over the girls. Of course, Leo ran forward and jumped over the crowd of girls as well. His left arm was kept out and took hold of Ichika's uniform, both landed safely. Well Ichika had help from Leo, who landed on both feet and looked as if he was used to doing something like that daily.

"Never do something like that ever again please…" Ichika spoke as he stood up and ran off down the hall

"Understood," Leo responded as he ran after Ichika and was soon gone from where he once stood. Though the girls that cornered them seemed to have been dumbfounded to see someone toss another person and jump over a crowd.

It didn't take long for the two to reach the waiting room for tournament contenders. Ichika was bent over and taking heaving breathes as he tried to get more air into his lungs while Leo seemed like he wasn't worn down a single bit from the running.

"Is… is this something you do only a daily basis Leo?" he asked as he stood up straight and looked at his fellow male student.

Leo did not answer right away as he walked up to a locker and opened it up before taking off his IS Academy jacket that had the left sleeve missing. Taking off his undershirt as well, Leo's upper body has proved to Ichika that the other was not a female in a guise, but a genuine male.

Ichika nodded his head with a look of relief on his face, thanking that there was an actual male alongside with him during the rest of his school years in IS Academy. Leo put on his IS pilot shirt and turned his head to Ichika, who stood where he was and looked like he wasn't going to get ready.

"Is it wise not to get ready Orimura?" Leo asked as he took off his pants and pulled on his IS pilot pants, "This is a mock battle, so I'd like to see what we're going to be doing."

"O-oh, right," Ichika replied as he went over to the locker he usually accessed whenever he trained on his free time, "I wouldn't want to make Chifuyu-nee mad."

Ichika started to undress his uniform as Leo put his back to the end of the locker as he waited. There was nothing said or nothing done as Leo kept his mouth shut as there was the shuffling of clothes and the sound of something shutting closed.

Finished dressing into his IS pilot suit, Ichika walked out of the isles of lockers and Leo pushed his back off the locker before walking besides him. The two left the changing room together and walked down to ground 3 without a word being spoken.

As the two arrived on the grounds, Ichika and Leo both stood amongst the group of girls that seemed to have their eyes on the two. Of course Ichika had been at the Academy for a longer period of time and he was used to it though Leo seemed calm and unbothered by the eyes that were on him until the teacher appeared.

"Alright, I want Infinitus to come forward," the teacher spoke as she stood in a jersey uniform. This teacher is named Orimura Chifuyu, the elder sister of Orimura Ichika and one of the teaching staff of IS Academy.

"Understood," Leo replied as he walked forward from the midst of the group and came to the front before turning to face the group.

One, when Leo started his first day, there was 33 girls in the class including both himself and Ichika, there was 35 students in the class; so that must mean the other class has the approximately the same number of students. Two, he had already an amazing memory even if he did not know any of the girls in class, just seeing everyone once was enough to memorize the faces that was in his class. Three, two faces in his class were missing and his ears had already heard someone speaking from above, which lead to him figuring out what they were going to do.

"Infinitus going against two others," Orimura-sensei spoke as she saw Leo flicking his right hand and seemed to be all ready for something to come down, "The two you will be facing are-"

"A silver haired girl with an eye patch over her right eye along with the blond with the purple eyes…" Leo answered as many of the girls seemed shocked to actually hear someone speak while Orimura-sensei was talking, "From the situation that you are going to be giving, it will be a partner based battle where one will cover the other's weakness as well as seeing how well the two can complement each other during battle."

Orimura-sensei looked at Leo with more strict eyes as she walked over and smacked the top of his head with a clipboard. Of course that did leave a smoking trail on his head, but he didn't seem to even care what happened as he clenched his hand.

"Don't interrupt me when I'm talking, but yes, you got the point of the team battle Infinitus. Also make sure you remember the names of your fellow classmates," Orimura-sensei spoke as she seemed to wave her hand and two IS adorned females appeared from the sky, "Infinitus, your opponents will be Bodewig and Dunois."

The silver haired girl was a bit shorter than the blond girl besides her and it was obvious about their differences as well, though the silver one seemed to be more uptight in the way she stood.

"My name is Laura Bodewig… I'm the representative of Germany," the silver haired one spoke as she looked sternly at Leo and looked like she was going to do something towards him.

"I'm Charlotte Dunois and I'm the representative from France. It's nice to meet you," the blond followed after her as she smiled at Leo, "Let's try our best in this mock battle."

"Likewise," he replied as his ears caught whispers from the group.

Isn't it a bit much to have a new student face off against two representatives?
Does he even have an IS to battle in?

In Leo's mind, there was a click as he now heard nothing from the group and only focused on the two before him as well as hearing what the Orimura-sensei was now saying.

"Infinitus, get your IS ready," she commanded as the response she got from him was a snap of his finger before he was suddenly wearing an IS that seemed to be covering his entire body like some armor.

Leo Infinitus, a new student to IS Academy and his personal IS was built by one of the largest company in Japan. It would be a shock if there was someone that did not know of this company and his personal IS was created to be just like a certain being in Japan. His IS was nothing more than a suit of armor that only covered his lower body, arms, and his shoulders as well as a headpiece that covered his eyes with a visor.

That can't be an IS… It just can't be…
Yeah… that's something a country wouldn't build…

"Much to your surprise, it is an IS even if it doesn't look anything like the ones that we have seen…" Orimura-sensei answered as if she heard the whispers from the group, "It has a registered IS core and a certain company was given the task to build this IS. Only to think that it would already be used like this. Now, no more whisperings in the group, I want you all to pay attention to this mock battle and how well Infinitus can hold against Bodewig and Dunois. Now… begin!"

Both Laura and Charlotte flew up into the air, then split up away from each other while Leo remained on the ground with his head inclined upward, observing his opponents as they waited for him to make a move. Drawing her Garm, Charlotte aimed at Leo, who still did not make an effort to move, but before she had the chance to pull the trigger, there was a loud crushing noise as the barrel of her weapon just crushed. Surprised, Charlotte looked at a hand that came from the side and saw Leo beside her with his hand crushing her weapon even more at the barrel.

"How the…" Ichika spoke as he saw what everyone else had seen as well. One moment Leo was on the ground before them and in an instant, he had somehow flew up toward where Charlotte was located.

"Watch closely to how he deals with the two of them," Orimura-sensei spoke out, trying to get everyone to pay more attention to the battle now.

Charlotte released her weapon and flew back in order to create some distance from Leo while Laura from behind and sent out a guided dagger towards him. The dagger did not reach its mark since there was a loud noise that sent the dagger back towards Laura. Now, Leo had something extending out of his shoulder blades which appeared to be a little node giving him a flying ability.

"Who saw what Infinitus did before the guided dagger was able to get a hold of him?" Orimura-sensei's voice questioned, waiting to see if anyone was able to see what had happened.

Ichika didn't say anything since he was able to vaguely see what Leo had done. Just before the guided dagger had gotten to Leo's arm, there was a fast activation of a shield barrier that stopped the dagger, sending it back towards Laura. Now, he was watching both Charlotte and Laura being sent towards the ground, but both recovered and split up near the ground as Leo landed.

Both of Leo's hands extended and a magnum appeared in his left hand while a giant broad sword appeared in his right. Now the broad sword caught the attention of all students since it looked very similar to the sword used by the "White Knight". Even Orimura-sensei seemed to have been caught a bit off guard, but regained her composure.

Leo started blasting his magnum at Charlotte which all seemed to miss, but instead of the bullets missing each one started damaging her shield. While his attention was at the target before him, Laura charged forward with her beam saber growing out of her right hand and drew closer at an alarming rate. The moment she got into striking range, the magnum stopped firing before the broad sword parried the saber.

"It seems like you're having difficulties fighting against two people," Laura spoke as if she was making fun of Leo, who kept his mouth shut as he slowly started to push her away, "That's too bad especially when there's someone else behind you."

A loud short burst was heard before Laura moved out of the way and Leo was hit on his back by three rounds. Nearly vaulting forward, he caught himself before taking up into the air and found Charlotte with her Vent out aimed at him.

Leo kept his sight on Charlotte before turning his head and seeing a rail gun aimed at him. Laura had her sights on him and he was in the air, which made it harder for round to hit. Watching for a moment, Leo didn't move as he had his sword disappear and switched his magnum from his left to his right.

"Oh, seems like he's planning to take this attack," Orimura-sensei commented as Ichika looked at his sister before turning back towards Leo's position.

"If he takes that attack, then there's a chance that he's going to get terribly hurt," Ichika stated as he returned his attention back to his sister and looked at her, "We have to stop it!"

"Don't worry about him. Look what do you see from the look on his face?" Orimura-sensei asked as she continued to look at Leo's position and saw a smile on his face as he brought something else out.

Inserting something into the side of his gun, Leo aimed it at Laura as her rail gun fired. Now a heavy blast was coming towards him, but there was no indication of movement from him. As the blast drew closer, Leo's magnum started to charge and a ball of energy started to gather up at the barrel.

Charge up complete.

Once again, something appeared in Leo's hand before he inserted it on the side of his gun. The compressed ball of energy changed color as he pulled the trigger of his magnum and blasted the energy towards the rail gun blast.

Both attacks collided, but it was a closer quarter for Leo as he remained where he was. Watching the rail gun blast slowly overpower his, he watched it with a smile on his face as his attack started to grow stronger for some reason that caused the rail gun blast to dissipate.

Upon seeing her blast dissipating, Laura moved out of the way as Leo's attack struck where she previously had been located at. When the magnum attack landed, it caused the ground to collapse into a crater form before the energy ball separated and blasted energy particles the same size of a magnum round into the crater.

Laura and Charlotte grouped together before taking into the air and surround Leo. Down at the ground, few of the students gathered around the area where the crater was. Ichika had joined at going over to the crater and observed the damage caused by Leo's magnum blast.

Up in the sky, Leo struck Laura out of the way with his arm as he used his sword to deflect Charlottes' barrage with her Vents. Keeping up with both was providing to be a strain on Leo as he started to slow down for a minute before being struck with a continuous barrage of bullets that quickly started to eat away at his Shield Energy.

Keeping a strong front, Leo continued to deflect as much bullets as possible only to see that his Shield Energy continued to fall before feeling an impact to his side. Laura had taken advantage within Leo's guard and struck him with a beam spear that sent him falling down to the ground.

Colliding, the ground where the crater was formed and a cloud of dust started to cover the inside of the crater. Now the entire class started to gather around the crater to see the result of the mock battle. Ichika had been over at the crater and he saw the outcome already.

"Leo… he did his best…" Ichika quietly muttered as the cloud of dust started to settle and revealed Leo on his back, staring straight up into the sky where both Charlotte and Laura remained before coming down.
