Standing up, and heading towards professor Yvano i then turn to face the room before looking at myselfs. Then back to the professor.
"Go on introduce yourselfs."
Nodding, I step forward with johan, "Hello, my name is.... johan, just johan I don't have a lasting name as we grew up... In an orphanage. And as for age... we don't really know but we assume that I am atleast 18."
"My class is Self Propelled gun, main role being artillery and rocket bombardment. And my gear is the BM-8 Katyusha rocket artillery platform."
After Johan's introduction I spot and faintly hear a few girls gossiping and whispering to each other before yvan urges Anastasia next.
"Mhm, good good. Next?"
With Anastasia stepping forward next, "Hello. I am Anastasia, same as my... brother we don't really know our proper ages but you can assume that I am probably around 18 or 20 years old."
"TYPE 5 Chi-Ri II medium tank."
"Alright good ahead and take your seats."
As professor Yvano then gets everyone's attention.
"Alright now I know alot of you are confused or wondering why Mr johan is here and has has a gear of his own. From what I have been told. He is one of the few people with the aptitude to be a metal maiden. Funny as it sounds for him. We don't refuse volunteering people that wants to help fight against the beast tanks. So thats that. Treat them well. For now I will continue with the last lesson. Since thank fully we haven't gotten that deep into tactics yet."
...
After the class...
"Alright that wraps up today's lesson. For now im not assigning any tasks to do. Your next class is gunnery correct? Be sure to keep practicing your aims." With Yvano then leaving the room.
The room becomes rowdy, with chatter, as a few girls then approach both of me being barraged by multiple questions.
"Hey hey! Are you really a metal maiden too?"
"Um h-hi, may I inspect your gear?"
"Yoosu!, so you two are siblings yeah? Does that mean you two are in the same room? Hmm?~"
"Sup, nice to meet ya two. Names karyia we'll be classmates from now on."
"Hmm are you two already in a team? If not can you join mines?"
"Anastasia right? I love your hair, oh! And do you have experience with shooting stuff with your gear?"
"Johan was it?, are you sure you are around 18 years old?"
"Another mass-produced gear user? Beh! Look look mines clearly better being purple grade! Heheh~"
Trying to answer the girl's barrage of questions, one of the questions piqued my interest.
Turning towards one of the girls that asked the question.
"Um... team? What do you mean? Like a squad?"
A silver haired girl, whose gear seems to be a Panzer 4 D variant nods, along with some other girls.
"Oh? You two must be really new then. But yeah, in preparation for trainings, and basically everything being taught here. Everyone forms teams to eventually fight with when we do live drills and when we all eventually fight the beast tanks."
With another girl chiming in, whose gear was a T-34-76 early.
"Yeah yeah, while it's not really official. Professor Yvano mentioned that being in a team early on makes fighting with other people easier so alot of us have already made and joined others."
With another girl chiming in, "honestly you two are lucky! The next class we have. The gunnery training class, is where out first teams will be officially be made!"
Nodding, "ah, that was nice to know. Thank you."
"Oh nah, it was nothing. Just looking out. Though im still more curious about you! Like how are you... well haha a metal maiden!"
As a round of, questions and answers, though some questions being wildly absurd. It has allowed me to make a few friends and understand most of these girls better. And like I originally thought. A majority of the girls are, either volunteers themselfs or ones that was drafted and recruited by the military.
Most of them coming from a pretty plain background, most being nothing of worth. A few standouts were here and there but from what incan remember. Most of these girls weren't in the game as obtainable or buildable characters.
After a few more minutes of talking to the girls as both johan and Anastasia the door to the room opens as another girl walks towards the teacher's desk, prompting the few girls crowding around me to quickly get seated as others who were chatting and messing with each other too quickly quiet down.
With the professor then scanning the room then nodding, "I see that two new recruits joined this class?"
As she then spots johan, "ah? A... boy? Wait..ah I do remember being briefed that two special students were arriving. I guess those two are you. Fine. S'long as you two can shoot and not die the moment you go fight the beast tanks I don't care who or what I train."
As she then starts walking out of the room, "alright, to the firing range, chop chop girls! I'll reintroduce myself there."
...
After following the professor and other students to the nearby firing range, and lining up row by row infront of the professor.
"Alright, most of you already know me but for the sake of the newcomers. I am iosifin skavina. I don't care what you call me as long as you stay respectful to your superior officer anything is fine."
As she then grabs a clipboard then scans the class, "alright. Im just going to assume that this list is complete. So once I call your names walk forward and stand infront of me in a line. Got it?"
Class: "yes ma'am!"
"Aleight good, these will be your teams till you all graduate, and other than the occasional team mixup events and activities this team list will be final. So for today once I announce the teams you all better get to know each other better as after a bit we are going to have a shoot off!"
