Part 1

It occurred on the Friday three days after the entrance cereotten somewhat accustomed to their lifestyle in the special forces

Just when they were about to change to an reverberating throughout the school

「Da heck’s that!?」

「Be quiet, all of you sit down in your seats」

Ooma reprimanded the restless D-Class students to calm them down

But the resounding avalanche-like footsteps of severals tens of students fro in the corridor made them unable to do so

「What the heck is that, Sensei!?」

「That’s why I said be quiet and sit in your seats, it’s just the alarm for the movement of the CE」

「Eh…」

Hearing those words, not only Eisuke, but almost all the students’ faces paled

「Isn’t that a serious ht——」

「I said BE QUIET (creak)」

「KOPERU！」

Ooain put Eisuke’s neck in a sleeper hold as he tried to dash out of the classroom in a hurry

Although he had juness to fight the enerapple was 20 percent weaker than usual

「Listen, the alarnal for the dispatch of the 2nd and 3rd year students All of you first years who haven’t even began your group coht here since you’ll only be a nuisance on the battlefield」

Surveying the students with sharp a look, Ooue about the fact presented to them

Sixty percent of the D-class were feeling relieved at the fact that there was no need for the in dissatisfaction at the fact that they couldn’t fight

Ooma smiled happily to the other ten percent who sat and listened to his reasoning attentively

「Even though I said they’re coht in front of this place They just came as far as the outskirts of the shallow valley, which is the defense line」

After saying that he closed his textbook and began preparing the projector and laptop

「Since it’s just the right time for it, let’s observe a raid to see how to cope with a CE attack」

The projector light shi+ning upon the blackboard fore shook in a strange fashi+on

「When the ACE troops are dispatched, they’ll wear headsets with a built-in communication device and cameraThis sortie video was taken soo」

Wearing large headphone-like equip the phantoar at the side of the school building with fluidvehicles ready for take-off inside

「Uh to sortie in our uniforms？」

Hinata raised her hand and asked a question after looking at the upperclassmen who entered the vehicle with the very saht now

「That’s right, there’s no difference between a ca Phanto else will protect you from a CE attack」

Contrary to what he says, as long as they’re wearing Phantoht even if they’re nude

「Even so, it’s better to wear uniforht?」

「There’s already a change of clothes prepared according to the number of people in the vehicle for that purposeAnd we’ll be changing our clothes on the way to the site」

All the troops then will sortie after changing their clothes, it’s natural since it’s faster that way But—

「We’ll change our clothes with boys in front of us ？」

「――!!?（GATA）」 [TL : SFX for falling chair, maybe]

「Calm yourself」

Souji silently tapped on Eisuke’s slightly risen shoulder from behind

「They only put on pants and change their jackets, so there’s no e’ll be able to see their underwear」

「Ah, that’s right」

「…Che」

It’s not just Eisuke, all the boys secretly clicked their tongues

「Are~~, was the punishh~？」

「…………」

But, after undergoing the punisho, they all had no choice but to shut their mouths

「Though this is a decision to be made in the far future, the class will be divided into three teauard, operating as a 『Squad』 and beco the mission」

To put it in military terms, a class of 40’s three Squads le year cole 『Troop』, and the combined Troops of the first, second, and third years become a 『Battallion』

Though, since this is the first year that there is a first, second and third year, the ACE troops have finally completed their battalion

「In thethe vehicles every squad is on the sa that’ll be scheduled from now on is performed with thealong with from now on, otherwise… 」

What awaits you is a hell—is what he said without saying anything, giving the his mouth

「Bratheer, we’re BFFs right!?」

「BFFs？」

Eisuke was clinging to Souji with teary eyes but, Souji was a buo froo

「Hi-Hinata-chan, I…」

「Yeah yeah, it’s okay, we’ll be in the saht」

Hinata co to her, and then the homeroom teacher clapped his hands to calm the class which become quite noisy

「Be quiet, the finalization of the squads is still one rasp how to move in a battle, even if just a little」

Saying so, the students looked back at the blackboard The troops were currentlytoward the Karuizaard inside armored vehicles, a journey which could only be described as tedious

「Are these all third year students? Their faces are more relaxed than I expected」

The six third year students sitting opposite one another were having a friendly chat between the the tension on their faces which would indicate that they’d be going into a battlefield after this

But, even that cheerfulness was a necessary disposition for a soldier

「If they were tense everyday they would only be crushed under their heavy stress Being able to switch like that is necessary even after they graduate」

「Even after graduation… that h」

「Don’t lose your focus」

Oo Eisuke’s forehead with Mjolnir-like power

「By the way, they’ll be arriving soon」

Once they had finished chatting about useless matters, the armored vehicle came to a stop and the upperclassman quickly disembarked from it

The caht the view of the famous Karuizawa suano prefecture

Part 2

The location was a toith h the countryside was deserted, the torapped in a calm and serene atmosphere

But, that was a story froo

Currently the surface of Miyota city surface is scorched

It was beco only traces of destruction by flames and lead bullets

「So cruel…」

It had already been broadcasted on television several times, and could be watched many times on the internet

Even so, the current scene they saw through the third year students’ point of vieas enough to er and fear

「I won’t tell you to get used to it, but now you need to observe the movements of your upperclassmen」

Ooe on the projector while soothing his angry students with some rarely heard tender words

The snapshots of Miyota city captured by satellites showed that on the west side, getting closer in the direction of Matsuano prefecture, existed the Pillar surrounded by glittering things

「ＣＥ……」

The enemy of humanity, with it’s mysterious crystal-like body, was thus called the Crystal Enemy[CE]

The moment it entered their field of vision, all of the upperclassmen moved simultaneously

『Shooting Corps, to the front』

Co javelins, ballistas, and legendary bows and arrows

And then, after the CE entered their firing distance, an order to fire came

『FIRE！』

The illusory arrows, bullets and spears tore through the air with certain-kill precision, and penetrated the shi+ning red orb located at the center of the CE positioned in the vanguard

「That red orb is their weak point, their『Core』 The CE can’t be stopped as long as that core isn’t destroyed」

In the endary weapons pierced the crystal body

But, there were just tooEven if their numbers were decreased by half, the troops had already used up their ammunition

「The Shooting-type Phantom Weapons consume the ability of the Phantom Material Armor thethe Phanto-type weapons should take extra caution」

[TL : the siy from IS]

「Yes」

Sitting next to Souji, Itsuki as a slingshot user nodded with a serious expression

『shi+ELD USERS, TO THE FRONT！』

The Firing squad retreated behind the shi+eld users who just came forward

「The Phantom Weapon[PW] of shi+eld type is far more durable than PMA, able to block several dozen CE attacks They’re always standing on the frontline to protect their allies, and as such it’s the ersAlways keep that in mind」

「R-Roger……」

Despite being a shi+eld user, the timid Kanna stood behind Hinata

The upperclass for the approaching CE

「Though I’ve told you before, the CE’s attack range is short and only reaches 30 metres So it’s easier to wait for the at them」

Even if they understood that, maybe it was due to their tension toward the slowly approaching enemies

To the allies ere unable to restrain the out the command commanded them to wait patiently

『NOT YET, DON’T BE IMPATIENT, LET THEM ADVANCE A BIT MORE』
