--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------‐-

The next morning...

"Alright. Wake up we need to get moving soon, We don't want to linger in this station any longer that we should do." As the commander starts knocking on everyone's tents with one by one all of us starts exiting the tents with a yawn.

"Ugh... this early? Mmmnnn...." yawning zoe starts heading towards the nearest water source to wash her face.

Followed by the others.

"yeah I know but we need to get to the academy soon and i don't want to be late to a meeting with Sophia." Chuckles the commander as he starts fixing his own tent.

With zoe shivering with a chill on her back as she hears the commander mention Sophia "instructor Sophia.... Ok.... yeah. Understood..." As she took quickly starts fixing up her tent.

With everyone now woken up, and finishing washing themselfs up for the morning. The group starts packing up.

After a while, "alright everything is secured, let's move out. You girls know what to do-"

And the moment the commander finishes talking, a shell lands closely the shelter casing a decent explosion.

Startled, zoe jumps back then quickly picks up jumbo as she then starts to run towards where the shell came from.

"Huh!? We were attacked?! Jumbo, attack!"

"...Hold on a second." As the commander then quickly grabs Joe's arm who was about to rush ahead alone. "Determine where the enemy is first... that blunder you just made would be called self-exposure in the tactics course, that's 20 points deducted "

As a roar of a beast tank could be heard from not that far away from the group, as the commander scans the surroundings.

"It's doesn't seem to have anything to do with us. Most of the noise seems to be from the teams doing practice drills."

With zoya now by the commander chiming in, "but I still thing there might still be some beast tanks that escapes the fray, especially around such a big place there will definetly be some around."

Nodding the commander orders everyone to stay alert, as due to the cry just now a pack of beast tanks could hear the engine and clamoring of your supplies through the wind.

Sighing, "...seems like we're just like fish in the pond... that got blown up. Everyone prepare for combat, we are moving out! Anastasia, johan get in quick!"

As the commander quickly gets inside the vehicle and starts driving the moment johan and Anastasia got in, followed by the rest of the girls behind the jeep.

Raisa, noticing the beast tanks closing in quickly positions herself by the driver side of the jeep, "commander the beast tanks are catching up, combat is inevitable do we engage?"

Looking back at the rear view mirrors the commander could quickly spot the large dust cloud being kicked up by the beast tanks as they rush towards the group.

With the commander quickly looking at a map, then back to the road. He nods. "Engage, but we make it a moving skirmish! Go!"

Nodding raisa quickly "skates" away from the group as she then relays the orders to the other two escorting the jeep with her.

After a while, the commander stops the jeep and looking back at the chaos that happened.

Sighing the commander wipes his head with a towel, "Phew... alright let's get a move on."

But as the commander was about to step on the gas pedal, a silver haired twin tailed girl in a black latex suit, with similar stocking and an eyepatch on her right eye, quickly leaps over a small ridge and blocks the path of the jeep, "halt! Where are you from? I've never seen you before." As the girl narrows her eyes as she looks at the group.

With the commander sighing once more he races a hand as a gesture, "hold on. Is hard to explain. We're in a hurry to get to frunze academy." As the commander steps out of the jeep and takes out some documents from his pocket.

With the silver-haired girl taking the document and after examining it, "oh... its the official seal of thr S.V.S." As she then gives it back to the commander and salutes.

"I am Evelyin Leeb from Team Orion. We're in the middle of a field exercise. "

Nodding the commander tucks the document away, "I see. Go ahead then." But just as the commander was about to turn and leave, Evelyn grabs his arm.

"Sir, since its a field exercise, there'll be more beast tanks outside the academy, please let my team go with you.

Sighing as the commander tries to get her off, "Alright, alright you can go... now let go."

Not noticing her clingyness, Evelyn blushes slightly and mumbles "oh... sorry."

As the two separate the commander cluches the arm Evelyn was yanking on as he then rubs on it while muttering to himself, 'God, she's strong... she nearly dislocated my arm.'

As Evelyn then composes herself and radios her team to head to her position, and after a while one by one they all arrive as Evelyn starts introducing them to the commander.l and the group.

"This is Darya Govorova, our sniper, and thus is Rita MacArthur, our main attacker."

Nodding to the two girls that just arrived, its nice to meet you."

Rita being polite greets first, "Hello sir."

With Darya speaking after, "Your teammates also graduated from this academy, so they would be our upperclassmen correct?"

With zoe seeing a chance to inflate her ego speaks up, "That's right. I'm Zoe, at Frunze I wa-"

But before zoe could babble more the commander quickly interrupts her and speaks, "that's it for introductions. Keep going we must reach frunze academy before dark."

With Evelyn, Darya and Rita saluting and replying, "Yes sir!"

Making zoe pout, 'so rude of him to interrupt me again...' (# ̄З ̄)
