3rd P.O.V
In the bridge of the RF Shtorm, there are 4 girls reading and stamping the documents as they work hard, these girls are the student councils of the school, the president of the school was eyeing the new student's file, specifically Summer's file, she has a sadistic smile on her face.
Arisha: Guess what, ladies?
the other three members of the student council looked at the president in confusion
Hayakawa: something interested you, I can feel it
Hayakawa Kiku, the secretary of the student council and a very strict one at that many students don't want to feel the seriousness of Kiku or else they piss themselves but she can't always be serious she sometimes open up her feelings when she is feeling down, she has the obsessive-compulsive disorder or OCD, after all, the reason? we have to ask Arisha for that.
Arisha: you got that right girl
Willow: it's another student, isn't it...?
Willow Nelson, a vice-president of the student council, and a Sensha-do ace many people had heard of her when she became an undefeated Sensha-do participant she even defeated Alice Shimada from the All-star university and she is yet to face the Nishizumi
Sienna: I wonder if she is in a tankery as well
Sienna Maxwell, a British girl who is a Monarch from the U.K, Sienna is one of the lookouts from the school, many students in the school saw her as an angel or so they thought, Sienna, is a massive weeb who loves the yuri genre and has tons of whatever genre doujins she likes.
Arisha: she is...... well not anymore look, read it for yourself
Arisha said and as she slide the file to Willow then she read it loud enough to hear the rest of the members
Willow: Summer Wilcher huh...
Sienna: I wonder if she's beautiful~
Willow rolled her eyes and continue reading the student's file
Willow: Summer Wilcher a childhood friend of Earl Grey
this caught the attention of all the members of the student council excluding Arisha
Hayakawa: Did I heard that right?
Sienna: fufufu~ so we have St. Gloriana's former commander's friend~ things might be interesting this year.
Willow: interesting, Summer is considered to be a rookie gunner it said here. Her tank is the tank destroyer the Challenger with the 32 pounder gun
Sienna: such a powerful weapon~ I wonder if they can penetrate Kuromorimine's E 75 and Tiger 2s
Sienna said as she sighs in disappointment afterward remembering what Willow said earlier
Sienna: too bad she doesn't have the skill to do it.
Willow: like you can do it
Willow said sarcastically and Sienna scoff and mumbles under her breath then Willow continues to speak
Willow: She quit Tankery after the defeat of her school in the U.K. That's about it and then it said here.... she never participated in Tankery for 4 years already. What's interesting about this girl's file, Arisha?
Arisha giggled and laid back in her seat and put both of her feet above the desk smiling like she was remembered something funny
Arisha: let's say.... we have big Nishizumi energy here
This confused Willow and the others as well "I swear I don't understand her sometimes" Willow thought, not sure if she object or not besides they already have many Sensha-Do participants who have more experience why add more?
Arisha: anyways! I have decided! Hayakawa.
Hayakawa: yes?
Arisha: Tell all the Tankery participants that we have a meeting later
Hayakawa: Understood
Arisha: and.... let the new girl come as well, I want to learn more about her
Hayakawa nods before she disappeared from the room, Willow sigh and Sienna was also gone, now the only person in the student council was the Ace/vice-president and the president of the student council, Willow took a seat and ask the president once more
Willow: why are you doing this?
Arisha: hm? doing what?
Willow: about just now
Arisha: I have to be honest with you Willow... I don't know what I'm doing but I hope that we will win against them again if we lose... I don't know what will happen to this school and us
Willow: *sigh* I trust you this time
Arisha smiled
Arisha: thanks
Meanwhile with Salem and Summer
Salem: and finally the cafeteria. I hope you remember all of this or we will begin from the start
Summer: Ahah n-no need *mind* this school is huge as hell! how am I supposed to remember all of this!?
Summer has been toured by Salem, and Summer was amazed at how big and clean the school is, the entrance of the school is like an entrance of an expensive hotel except it has lockers and is a little bit smaller, the halls of the school are crowded and busier they even have the Royal Garden 'Now that I think about it' Summer thought
Summer: Salem?
Salem: hm?
Summer: when we tour the school you mentioned the Royal Garden, what is that for? for British people?
Salem: mhm correct but only the most wealthy family can enter there unless Victoria invited you then there shouldn't be a problem
Summer: Victoria?
Salem: wait you don't know her? you're from England, right?
Summer: Well I am from England but I haven't heard of her, why?
Salem: nothing, just surprise you didn't know her
Summer: welp I guess I live under a rock then haha..... haaa....
Salem: don't be stupid, it is actually great news you didn't know her how wealthy and popular she is in England even here in Russia, you have a big chance to meet her
Salem pats Summer's back to ensure her but then Hayakawa appear in the corner of the hall until she finally gets close to the two
Hayakawa: Salem
Salem: Hm? Hayakawa, what seems to be the problem?
Hayakawa: the president announces we have a meeting today it's better for the both of you to attend.
Summer: eh? me? why am I involved?
Salem: that's uncanny.... the president usually doesn't make a surprise meeting, and why is Summer involved in this? she doesn't do Sensha-Do unless it's a different meeting involving Summer.
Hayakawa: it is. Now let's go
The three starts walking at the endless halls of the school while Summer was scanning everywhere like a new student, well... she is. The walk was silent and has an awkward atmosphere and Summer wants to break that awkward atmosphere by talking to Salem but when she looks at her Salem has a serious expression planted on her face so she decides to keep quiet.
They got outside and Summer was about to question why are they outside of the school until Hayakawa answered her as if she was reading Summer's mind but she just shrugs off the thought. The three of them hop in the car, Salem drove the car again until they reach the, how can I describe this, like a mini pentagon
Salem: we're here
Summer: Woah, I didn't know this school is that rich
Hayakawa: that's Arisha for you
Summer: Arisha?
Salem: the President of the student council, and also the School's founder's daughter, and I bet ya she is crazy rich, richer than Saunder's high. Now *pats Summers back*
Summer: oof
Salem: We don't want the transferee to be late in her first meeting now do we?
Summer: I-I'm not sure about this! besides, I-I don't know if this meeting is about me
Salem: hmph, fair enough, now Hayakawa lead the way
Hayakawa: Follow me
The duo follow Hayakawa to a plain door but inside the door was a massive round table just like a NATO table meeting 'woah feels like a NATO meeting' Summer thought, feeling uneasy when all of the eyes were staring at her then suddenly
Angelika: YO SIS!
Angelika her half-sister yelled at her with a bunch of people looking at her making her embarrassed
Summer: Angelika you... urgh!
She silently curses herself silently, Angelika is the type of sister who always makes fun of Summer but she loves her as a sister at the bottom of her heart and takes care of her when she is feeling sick, Summer is a bit of a carefree person which makes her concerned when she is alone but not anymore since Summer is in front of Angelika's eyes
Salem takes a seat beside Cinder and the other German Sensha-Do participants which is a lot of them, there is a British participant also but their clothing is a little bit fancy more like they live on a Royal family
Victoria Gray and Aliyah Holly both are from different Royal Families in the U.K. Victoria Gray is known for her fame and beauty she has some taste in video games, War Thunder to be precise, Aliyah Holly despite being smaller and shorter in size she seems to gain a lot of attention whenever people saw her clothes but if she didn't wear them she looks like a lost child roaming around the city, and no she is not young she is 20 years old if you guys question it just to be safe.
Hayakawa signaled Summer to follow her once she stopped she then says
Hayakawa: sit here beside Ms. Dabrowski
Summer: right
Summer sits beside the Polish girl who was a neutral expression on her face, not wanting to disturb her Summer decides to wait if anything happens. Someone taps her shoulder just to see the same polish girl but this time she has chips on her hand
Dabrowski: want some?
Summer: I-uhh... thanks
Summer shyly get a piece of chip from the bag and eat it afterward
Dabrowski: you can get some more, don't be shy, and by the way, call me Lyudmila
Summer: Summer
both of them shake their hands then eat the huge bag of chips together while waiting for everyone to arrive, I guess that's the reason why Lyudmila wants to share some chips with her, right? it's huge for a bag of chips more like a sack of chips.
All of the students are already here except besides Lyudmila, the seat was empty, and was curious who sits there
Summer: who sits beside you?
Lyudmila: oh her? well, don't worry she will be here like right.... now
Lyudmila perfectly timing that as the door swing open slightly, and it reveals a girl similar to Lyudmila, she has the same uniform as Lyudmila but with different hair color and is younger than Lyudmila. She then walks towards the seat beside Lyudmila hurriedly.
Lyudmila: what took you so long? you're almost late for the meeting.
???: sorry I was caught by something
she then sits immediately beside her, the second Polish girl take notice of Summer
???: hey who is she? *points at Summer*
Summer: hi...
Lyudmila: Summer this is Zuzana and Zuzana this is Summer
Lyudmila introduce both of them
Zuzana: Hello Summer as you already know I am Zuzana Andrysiak a former Tankathlon player, it's a pleasure to meet you
Summer: it's nice to meet you too
after their introduction, the president decides to finally speak
Arisha: now all of you are confused as to why you are all here
Victoria: is this about the battle we will participate in, in the next couple of weeks?
Arisha: quite right but you are quite wrong also, this is about the new student who transferred here just now her name is Summer Wilcher, Summer please introduce yourself
Summer felt fear and anxiety throughout her whole body, introduction is the worst experience you could ever do if you are a transferee student especially when tons of people are looking at her right now
Summer: *ahem* uhh I-uhh... So Hello I-uhh- my name is Summer Wilcher as you all know I am a transferee here uhh.. I still don't know the reason why am I involved in this meeting but I assume you always do this to other transferee students... I hope...
Willow: we only do this to the transferee with tankery experience, you, Summer Wilcher, do you have any idea who's Earl Grey is?
Victoria: wait you mean the former commander of St.Gloriana?
and so many muffled voice was heard
Summer: in truth yes I do know her
once again muffled voices were heard throughout the meeting room
Summer: in fact, we were childhood friends back in the day in the U.K we had great memories together not until she disappeared suddenly
Victoria: unfortunate well she is like that after all, *sips tea* anyways my name is Vicotria Gray
Summer: are you perhaps related to her?
Victoria: what? no, I am not although we have the pronunciation of last names we are not related to her, her last name is Grey with the letter E and my last name is Gray with a letter A, got that?
Summer: right, sorry
Victoria: no worries, anyways have you heard about me?
Summer: for having huge fame? no, I and Salem talk about you for a few minutes an hour ago, she was surprised I didn't know you but I think that's a good thing, I guess???
Victoria: yes! finally! she's a keeper- oof!
someone hit her in the gut making her quiet
Aliyah: control yourself, Raz
Victoria: Right, sorry
Angelika: my turn! my question is how are you doing sis!
Summer: *sigh* I'm doing great...
Angelika: that's good to hear!
Hayakawa: Ms. Sergei control yourself
Angelika: sorry I was just happy to see my sister!
Arisha: *chuckles* we all know that feeling now any more questions?
???: I have a question
A fancy-looking girl just like Victoria was revealed she has a cane... a sword cane rather she is immediately recognized as a Swedish person for how she dressed
she looks like a brat but she isn't, some people assume her as a spoiled brat but then again she acts as a serious person and she was never spoiled in the first place
Arisha: Ms. Björklund you may
Wilma: thank you, Ms. President. My name is Wilma Björklund born and raised in Sweden, now I have a question for you Ms.Wilcher, are you the commander of the challenger during the tournament...
she asks her a serious question, Summer was taken back at that statement
Summer: wh-what? how did you..... wait.... you're that girl in the Leo!
Arisha: it seems you to know each other
Salem: what a plot twist this is!
Summer: I never knew her in the first place I was in the Challenger doing what I was told to until she came on out of view!
Wilma: hm... you missed me in a plain spot that 32 pounder gun of yours could've been a game-changer
Summer: it wasn't my fault, I was never such a good gunner in the first place!
Arisha: what if... I make you as a commander of the whole team
after she said that the whole people in the room gasp, Victoria spit takes her tea to Aliyah, Salem chocked on her food, and Willow was well Willow the most shocked was Summer
Willow: Arisha have you gone mad!?
Arisha: no I am serious about this
Lyudmila: No offense Ms.President but are you really sure about this we barely beat them.
Arisha: yes I am, now we have a battle in the next couple of weeks, I am no longer the commander of the team. You must treat Summer as a commander of the whole squad, now Summer please choose your vice-commander
Summer: b-but...
Arisha: you can do this Summer if it didn't end well I'll come back as a captain
Summer nods not sure how to respond, she looks at her half-sister but her sister is supporting her by giving a thumbs-up with a big smile on her face, this feels Summer a little bit calmer
Summer: right I'll choose... Salem
Salem: eh?
