Opening scene
The alarm signaling the end of the mock combat training echoes through the air. As the smoke clears in the center of the training ground, Shion sheathes her issued high-frequency blade into the holster at her waist.
She removes the bio-log terminal from the chest of her suit and hurries over to the observation deck, then looks up at her instructor standing behind the glass and takes a small breath to steady herself.
...Elimination of the designated target, completed forty-two seconds ahead of schedule. Senpai, the log data transfer is ready.
Her amber eyes are dead serious, but her fingertips, still gripping the terminal, tremble slightly. It's clear she's hoping for something more than just a report.
Whether this qualifies as a passing grade for a rookie... I'd like to hear your objective assessment, Senpai. ...I'll wait.
Your next words are where the story begins.
