Ichika, now!
Laura, I'm counting on you.
Leave it to me!
I'm over here, you know.
Ichika, once more!
Rinin!
Hurry up Ichika, we can't hold it any longer.
I won't let you escape this time round!

Because we are sure to meet in that sky
All my classmates are girls
This is...
This is... way tougher than I thought it would be.
I'd like to welcome everyone to this academy.
I'm your assistant homeroom teacher, Yamada Maya.
Today onwards, all of you are students of IS Academy.
This academy is a full boarding school.
All of you will always be together, regardless of whether it's the school term or the vacation.
Make sure you help one another and spend an enjoyable three years.
Well then, let's have everyone introduce themselves.
Erm... according to index number...
Houki.
Is this how you behave with a childhood friend whom you've not met for 6 years?
Everyone must hate me by now.
Orimura Ichika-kun!
Y-Yes!
Sorry about that, I might have been too loud.
Uhm, sorry for using a loud voice- But we started at A and we've come to O now.
Would you mind introducing yourself?
Could you?
No, ehm... You don't have to be so apologetic.
E-Erm, my name is Orimura Ichika, nice to meet everyone.
This is bad.
Bad! If I keep silent like this I'll be known as the gloomy guy.
That's all.
A-Ah was that bad?
It hurts...
Oh, Chifuyu-nee?
At school it's Orimura-sensei.
Sensei, is the meeting over?
Yeah, Yamada-kun.
Sorry for pushing you to greet the class.
What is Chifuyu-nee doing here?
I have no idea what she does, besides she comes home no more than once a month.
My sister by blood.
Everyone, I'm the homeroom teacher, Orimura Chifuyu.
Teaching you how to pilot the IS is my duty.
Chifuyu-sama! Is this really Chifuyu-sama?
I came to this academy from the northern part of Kyuushuu because I admire you!
I look forward to your tutelage.
I'm willing to die for you, Onee-sama.
It's really something how only the dumb gather up.
Are all of them always congregated in my class?
Onee-sama, please scold me more, discipline me!
And train me so I don't act up!
Chifuyu-nee is my homeroom teacher?
Speaking of which, don't you even know how to greet others properly?
No, Chifuyu-nee, I'm...
Call me Orimura-sensei.
Yes, Orimura-sensei.
Orimura-kun is Chifuyu-sama's younger brother?
Then, is that related to him being the only man that can operate an IS?
Silence!
I'll have everyone memorize the operation manual within half a year.
After that it'll be self-study.
Furthermore I'll make your body memorize the basic fighting maneuvers within half a month.
Is that clear?
Answer if you do.
Also answer if you don't.
Yes!
My sister, Orimura Chifuyu, was Japan's representative for the first ever IS pilot competition.
One day she suddenly retired and disappeared.
So she's a teacher here.
I'll make a fool out of myself if I worry over her.
All of you should know by now that IS stands for Infinite Stratos.
It's a Multi-form suit from Japan.
The company launched it ten years ago to enable humans to move in space.
But the plan has since been halted.
Due to the Alaska treaty it's prohibited for warfare.
It's currently used solely for sports.
This IS Academy is the only organization which offers IS pilot training.
Students from all parts of the world gather here.
To learn how to become a pilot.
All the youths from different parts of the world are working hard to improve on their skills.
Then, from today on for three years, let's study diligently!
Yes!
Please note, only females are able to pilot the IS.
The only male who is able to do that is me.
As for the reason, I don't really know.
It's that guy, he's the first male ever to be able to pilot the IS.
I heard he was able to mobilise the IS during the entrance exam.
It was on the news over the whole world!
So he really made it in.
Want to talk to him?
I'll go first.
Hey wait.
Wait! Are you trying to get an unfair handicap?
Someone please rescue me from this situation.
Can I have a moment with you?
What's the matter?
It's been six years, you should have something to say, right?
Oh right!
W-What is it?
You won the national Kendo tournament last year right?
Congratulations.
How do you know that?
How? I read the newspaper.
Why would you read the newspaper?
Oh and one more thing...
Long time no see.
It's been six years but I knew directly that it was you.
Eh?
Look, your hairstyle is still the same.
Y-You still remember that.
How could I forget?
You're my childhood friend.
The bell rang.
Who's that girl?
Someone Orimura-kun knows?
We should go back now.
I know.
Are there any questions yet?
What exactly are these "active" and "regional differentiation" things about?
Don't tell me I have to memorise these as well.
Orimura-kun, is there a problem?
Erm, it's...
If there are questions, please feel free to ask me.
I'm still a teacher, after all.
Teacher.
Yes, Orimura-kun?
I'm completely lost.
Completely?
How many are there who don't understand anything up till this point?
Orimura, did you read that reference book before enrollment?
Oh, are you referring to that thick book?
That's right.
Yes, it was written that it was compulsory right?
No, I accidentally misplaced it.
I'll make an extra copy for you later.
Memorize it within a week, is that clear?
One week for such a thick book...
I told you to do it.
Yes Ma'am.
Well then, we shall continue.
Please open your textbook to page 12.
May I for a bit?
Huh?
What's with that reply?
For me to speak to you of my own accord is already a huge honor.
Shouldn't you at least show some acceptable attitude?
My bad, but I don't even know you.
You don't know me?
I'm the Cecila Olcott.
I'm the representative of England who placed first in the entrance exam.
I have a question.
To answer the questions of the mob is one of the duties of us nobles.
Go ahead.
What's a representative contender student?
Ah?
Unbelievable.
Don't tell me all Japanese males are so lacking in knowledge.
This is general knowledge, you get me, general knowledge!
So what is a representative contender student?
It's an IS pilot representing a country who is selected from the most elite of candidates.
It's self-explanatory from the word itself.
After hearing you say that, it does seem to be the case.
That's right, an elite.
Normally to be in the same class as a chosen person as me would be called a miracle.
It is your honor.
Can't you comprehend the position you're in a little more?
I see, it means I'm one lucky guy.
You must be taking me for a fool.
Didn't you say that I should be honored?
Say, for someone who's totally clueless, you've done well getting into this academy.
I heard that you are the only male that can operate an IS but i guess my expectations were too high.
To expect something from me would be inconvenient.
Well anyway, I'm superior.
So I'll be kind even to people like you.
If there's anything you don't know...
If you should come to me crying enough for help, I won't decline teaching you.
After all I am an elite among elites and the only one that defeated an instructor during the entrance exam.
Oh? I also defeated the invigilator.
What?
You could say that.
I merely evaded when the invigilator closed in on me suddenly.
She then crashed into the wall, unable to move.
I-I heard I was the only person.
It could be amongst the females.
You! You also beat the invigilator?
Erm, calm down a little, okay?
H-How can I stay calm!
I'll continue with this later, do you understand!?
It's already like this on the first day.
The days to come won't be good.
Is this the place?
Is there anyone here?
You must be my roommate.
For the rest of the year, please take care of me.
Excuse me for appearing in this manner.
I just took a shower.
I'm Shinonono Houki.
I-I-Ichika.
Y-Yes.
Stop staring!
Sorry.
What are you doing here?
I also happen to be staying in this room.
What? Don't tell me we're roommates.
Sav-
Are you really trying to kill me!
If I didn't dodge I'd have been dead by now.
What happened?
Hey it's Orimura-kun.
So this is Orimura-kun's room...
I just got a valuable tip.
Houki?
Houki-san, please let me in quickly or something bad will happen.
I'll apologize.
I'm begging you, sorry, I'm really sorry.
Get back in.
Yeah...
I wanted the bed by the window.
Are you my roommate?
Yeah, seems to be the case.
What were you intending to achieve?
I'm asking you what were you planning to do?
Boys and girls stop sharing a room when they reach seven.
That is common sense.
What sort of common sense is that?
But it's indeed true,
A man of 15 years and a woman living together- no this is a problem.
Y-Y-You...
Me?
Did you plan this?
To share the same room with me alone.
Impossible.
That's really dangerous.
Idiot... you actually said it was impossible!
I see, so it's like that.
You have a scary expression, it's really frightening.
Wow, Shinonono-san is so bold!
No one is allowed to help, do you understand?
What, it ended like that?
The last scene gave me a real good feeling.
Ichika!
Y-Yes, what's the matter?
Since it has been decided that we're to share a room.
So, err how do I put it...
There should be some demarcation.
Firstly, shower usage times.
I'll use from 7 to 8.
You'll use from 8 to 9.
I wanted it earlier.
You want me to look like that coming back from club activity?
By club activity, you mean Kendo club?
I recall a shower area being there.
I can't be at peace if I don't bathe in my own room.
Well I also feel that using my own toilet is more comfortable than using the school's.
Speaking of which, there are no individual toilets right?
Right, we've only got two at corner of the stairs.
IS Academy only has females.
This is a terrific situation-
It's only been a while and you've developed perverted hobbies.
I was wrong about you.
Why do you speak like that?
Thinking of going to a girl's toilet..
If that isn't perverted then what is?
You shall receive your judgement here!
Like I'll stand there and wait for it.
What's this?
Give it back.
Houki.
W-What?
So you're finally wearing a bra.
Hey, when are you going to stop being angry?
I'm not angry.
You obviously don't look too happy.
I was born with it.
Hey hey, isn't he Chifuyu onee-sama's younger brother?
Houki, this is really delicious!
Both the siblings are IS pilots, so he should be pretty strong.
Hey Houki.
Don't address me by my name directly!
Shinonono-san...
Orimura-kun, may I sit beside you?
Oh sure, why not.
Alright.
If only I talked to him earlier.
Don't fret, there's still day 2.
It's alright, no need to rush.
Orimura-kun sure eats alot in the morning.
I guess you're really a guy.
But is it alright to eat so little for you girls?
We're... you see...
Yeah, so it's probably alright.
We always eat lots of snacks.
I'll go first.
Okay, see you later.
Shinonono-san and you are really close?
I heard you two are even roommates.
Sort of, since we're childhood friends.
Childhood friend?!
Yeah, we had known each other since first grade at the Kendo club.
We were in the same class all the way till fourth grade.
Regarding the events of the past, I can't remember that well.
How long are you going to take?
Consumption must be fast and efficient.
I'm the dorm master for the year.
Latecomers will get 10 laps around the track.
I see.
That's why she seldom comes home.
We're now going to elect a representative for an interclass tournament two weeks from now.
The class representative not only participates in the tournament,
she also has to attend student council meetings and committee meetings.
It can be considered a class president.
Nominating oneself or others are allowed.
Volunteers, any?
Yes, I recommend Orimura-kun.
I feel the same.
M-Me?
Are there any other volunteers?
If there isn't, it'll be an uncontested walkover.
Wait a second, I don't want to...
I will never accept this.
I cannot accept this form of nomination.
Letting a male become a class representative is utter disgrace to the class.
Are you suggesting that I, Cecila Olcott, live with the shame for the rest of the year?
Besides, for me to stay in a country with such regressing culture...
...it's already an unbearable misery.
England has nothing to be proud about.
Don't you know it has the title of 'worst cuisine in the world' for quite a few consecutive years?
There are countless other delicious cuisines as well.
Are you attempting to humiliate my country?
I challenge you!
Oh, I accept.
As opposed to arguing, it's much clearer.
You shall become my servant if you lose on purpose.
No, my slave.
How much do you need?
You sure are quick to ask for assistance.
No, I'm asking if you need a time limit handicap.
Orimura-kun, are you serious?
Boys being stronger than girls are a thing of the past, even before IS was born.
If guys are to battle girls, it wouldn't even last three days.
Shit, I forgot.
On the contrary, it is I who should be thinking whether to give you a time limit.
Japanese guys sure are funny.
Orimura-kun, it isn't too late to go back on your words.
A man never goes back on his words.
No need for that.
You're underestimating her.
Looks like negotiations are complete.
Well then the contest will be scheduled for next week.
To be held at Arena no. 03.
Both Orimura and Olcott, you shall do your own preparations.

Will Orimura-kun be alright?
If he loses, let's have the whole class console him.
Wait, Orimura-kun seems to have something up his sleeve.
Chifuyu-sama seems to have prepared something incredible.
Wow, I'm so looking forward to it.
