It will only work once.
I'm not going to take responsibility!
This weapon is the one Chifuyu-nee once used!
It is indeed an unmanned suit.
It uses an unregistered core.

Boy Meets Boy
So you're the only boy in the class?
You're living the dream, man.
Not at all.
You've obviously lying.
I can feel it just by reading your e-mails.
Did you get any invitations?
Don't be silly.
I'm glad Rin transferred into our school.
There weren't many I could talk to.
Oh. Rin, eh. Rin, huh?
Dan!
Lunch is ready.
Hurry up and come down—
I-Ichika-san?
Yo, Ran. Long time no see.
O-Oh.
Well...
So you were here?
I'm done with school for today.
I just dropped by on my way home.
I-I see.
Ran, you know...
You should knock or something.
You come across as a shameless wo—
Why didn't you tell me?
Oh.
D-Didn't I tell you?
I see. My bad.
Excuse me, Ichika-san...
Please relax and enjoy.
You got changed.
Are you going out somewhere?
Oh, not really.
This is, uh, you know.
Oh, is it a date?
Absolutely not!
Huh?
You must be like that at school as well.
Huh? What are you talking about?
Never mind. Poor Rin.
Time to move!
Sorry?
We finally have the room ready.
Shinonono-san, you'll move to another room.
P-Please wait a second! Do I need to move immediately?
What?
Well, yes, of course.
You're sharing a room with an adolescent of the opposite sex.
Don't you feel uncomfortable, Shinonono-san?
Well, I'm...
Don't worry about me.
I can wake up and brush my teeth every morning without your help, Houki.
Huh?
Sensei! I'll move out right now!
S-Sure.
What is she so angry about?
I'll just go to bed. No use mulling over it.
Coming!
What's wrong? Did you forget something?
I-I have something to say.
What is it? You sound formal.
At the all-class individual tournament next month...
i-if I win by any chance...
y-you'll have to date me!
Sorry?
Did you hear that?
Sure we did!
This is...
a big scoop!
So did you hear the rumor?
Which one? The IS incident last time?
That was just an experimental suit that went berserk, wasn't it?
That's not it.
If she wins this month's tournament, she'll go out with Orimura-kun!
Really?
Seriously?
I wonder what everyone is so excitedly talking about.
Well, I have no idea, either.
The rumor is spreading, distorting the facts.
Did you make stuff up again?
Eh? I'm pretty sure I didn't.
Morning!
What are you guys so excited about?
It's nothing!
Get seated. We're starting homeroom.
We have a transfer student today!
I'm Charles Dunois from France.
Everyone, nice to meet you!
A-Are you a boy?
Yes.
I heard someone here is in the same situation as me so I transferred here.
Huh?
It's a boy! Another one!
And in our class!
He's the pretty type that makes you want to protect him!
Stop making noise, Silence!
Today we'll conduct IS training together with Class 2.
Everyone should get changed and assemble at Ground 2.
And Orimura!
Yes.
Help out Dunois, since you're both boys.
Scram!
So you're Orimura-kun?
How do you do? I'm—
Oh, never mind that. We'll have to get going first...
..before the girls will begin to get changed.
We will have to get changed in the locker room in the arena.
We have to walk all the way there every time, so get used to it.
O-Okay.
Why are you jittering? Do you need to use the restroom?
I-I don't.
I found that the transfer student!
Orimura-kun's with him as well!
Wh-What's happening?
Found him! He's here.
Everyone, please assemble here.
Look! They're holding hands!
Orimura-kun's black hair is nice, but blonde is also fine.
Let's go!
Oh, they're running away!
Let's chase them!
Hold on! Let me take a photo!
What is all this fuss about?
That's because we two are the only guys who can pilot IS.
O-Oh, of course.
Anyway, run!
Looks like we lost them.
Sorry for suddenly putting you in trouble.
Don't mind it.
Actually I'm glad you're here.
It's tough being the school's only guy.
Is it?
Please take care of me from now on.
I'm Orimura Ichika. Call me Ichika.
Sure. Nice to meet you, Ichika.
Feel free to call me Charles.
Woah! We don't have any time!
Let's get changed right away!
Get changed now or we'll be late.
Our homeroom teacher is really strict when it comes to time.
S-Sure. I'll get changed.
But, um, look the other way. Okay?
Oh, well, it's not like I'll be staring at you getting changed...
Anyway, hurry up.
Wh-What's wrong?
You got changed super fast!
Did you use some kind of trick?
N-No.
Not really.
It's kind of awkward we have to wear this without any underwear.
Especially when it gets stuck.
G-Get stuck?
Yeah.
Oh?
Those must be pretty easy to wear.
It's an original product from the Dunois Company.
Dunois?
Isn't your last name also Dunois?
My dad's the president.
It's probably the largest French company in the IS business.
Heh... So you're a president's son.
No wonder.
What do you mean?
Well, you're like a high-class... I get this feeling you're well-bred.
Now I get why.
Huh?
We'll commence training today.
Yes, ma'am!
First we'll have exhibition matches.
Fan, Olcott!
Yes!
Yes, ma'am!
You should be able to get it going quickly since you both have personal suits.
Step up!
What a pain. Why do I have to...
It's rather discouraging to have to put on a pointless performance.
Guys, try to get motivated!
It's your chance to appeal to him.
This certainly calls for me, English cadet representative Cecilia Olcott!
It's a great opportunity to show them we're in a league of our own!
What did she just tell them?
How could I know?
Then who will be our opponent?
I won't mind if it is Rin-san.
That's my line! Prepare to be beaten at your own game!
Don't get ahead of yourselves, idiots.
You're facing off against...
Please get out of the way!
U-Um...
Orimura-kun!
How should I put it...
You shouldn't do this.
Oh, but Orimura-sensei could become my sister-in-law...
and that would be a fabulous—
What a pity. I missed.
Ichika!
Orimura-kun, are you all right?
Y-Yes. Thank you very much.
Yamada-sensei is an ex-cadet representative.
Those kinds of shots are nothing to her.
That was a long time ago.
And I was only a cadet.
Now, little girls, we're starting!
U-Um, two on one?
Now that's quite...
Rest assured.
You guys will lose in no time.
Then...
begin!
We won't hold back!
We weren't serious last time.
I-I'm going!
Dunois, give us a good description of Yamada-sensei's IS.
Y-Yes.
Yamada-sensei's IS is the Dunois brand 'Raphael Revive'.
Although it is the last of the second generation models,
its specs match those of the third generation suits.
Although it is the last mass produced IS currently deployed to enter the market,
it is the third best-selling model in the world,
and, depending on the equipment loaded,
it can become any of combat, shooting, defense types.
I can't believe I just...
You know...
You shouldn't let her see through your evasion route!
Rin-san, you're the one who should stop shooting mindlessly!
This should demonstrate to you the competency of the teachers here.
Treat us with respect from now on.
Next we will conduct training in small groups.
Those with personal suits will be the leaders.
Now, break into groups!
Orimura-kun, let's do our best!
Teach me if I don't know something!
I want to see how you pilot, Dunois-kun!
Can I, too?
Don't touch stuff carelessly.
You might get hurt!
Please line up and try mounting one by one.
Orimura-kun, teach me how to pilot an IS!
I wanted to be in his group...
It's one time I wish I wasn't an elite.
Lucky you!
Then let's try mounting, activating, and walking with an IS in roll call order.
First up is...
Here! Right here!
I'm the first in order, and I'm Aikawa Kiyoka!
I play handball!
My hobbies are watching sports games and jogging!
Nice to meet you!
Sorry?
No, that's unfair!
Me too!
My mind was set on you at first sight!
Please!
Uh... um...
Looks like he's going to have a tough time.
Yep, that's it. Very nice.
Now try to stop.
Okay, now shift with the next person.
Wow, I got really nervous.
Who's up next?
It's me.
However...
I can't get to the cockpit when it's like this.
Oh!
That's a common beginner's mistake.
Orimura-kun, please give her a lift.
Wh-What?
Orimura-kun, please summon Byakushiki.
Sure.
What will he do to me with that?
Of course he'll carry you...
to the cockpit.
C-carry... me?
There's no other choice.
Make sure you don't slip.
This is the legendary...
being held like a princess!
You know how to get it on, right?
Just try activating it and walking with it. Then you can switch.
Ichika!
Oh? What is it?
Well...
Do you have any plans for lunch today?
No, not really.
Oh, you don't?
Then let's have lunch together for today.
Yep! Let's do that!
Yeah, sure, why not.
Awesome!
What is this about?
The more the merrier, isn't it?
Not to mention Charles just transferred in and doesn't know his way around.
Well, nothing wrong with that, but...
Well...
Is it really okay for me to be here with you?
Don't mind it! We're both guys.
We'll be sharing room from now on, too!
Thanks. Ichika, you're so kind.
Why are you blushing?
I-I wasn't blushing!
Sweet and sour pork!
Yeah! I cooked some this morning.
You said you wanted some, right?
Ichika-san...
I somehow happened to wake up early this morning, so I prepared this.
You will see that we British also have quite delicious cuisine.
Oh, sure looks nice.
Then let me try this first.
How is it?
Feel free to have more.
N-No...
I'll have more later.
How about you, Houki?
I have this.
Wow!
That looks awesome!
You must've put a lot of effort into this.
I-I just made some while I was at it.
I just put in some extra effort.
I'm still glad.
Houki, thanks.
Then... I'm trying it!
This is delicious!
Didn't this take a while to cook?
I seasoned it with ginger and soy sauce, some garlic...
and I put some pepper in before all that.
Radish grater is perfect to spice it up.
This is really good!
Houki, aren't you going to have some?
I had to eat away all the failures.
Hmm?
N-No, I mean, I'm fine!
Well, you know.
I'm glad to see you like it.
Houki, you try it, too. Here!
Wh-What is this?
Here. Try it.
S-Sure.
Then let me.
This is really good.
Isn't it? These fries are good!
These aren't fries, though. Anyway, it's good.
Is this the “Here, aan~” thing that Japanese couples do?
You get along well!
They don't get along!
E-Exactly! Allow me to try again!
Then why don't we exchange one of our side dishes with one another?
It's fine as we share it fairly, right?
Oh, I don't mind.
Well, if Ichika says okay.
I would not normally approve of such act that would defy standard table manners,
but as they say, when in Rome, do as the Romans do!
Then let's begin right away.
Here, try some sweet and sour pork.
Ichika-san, have some sandwich, too!
It's so nice to hang out with another guy.
It's really different from black tea. It has a mysterious taste.
But I like it!
I heard you always do intensive IS training after school.
Is it true?
Yeah. I'm behind everyone else.
Can I join you?
I also have a personal suit, so it should help.
Oh, that'll be great!
All right. Leave it to me.
Well...
I have another great news for you today.
Another friend will be joining this class.
She is Laura Bodewig, who transferred in from Germany.
What's up with this?
We have a transfer student two days in a row.
Isn't this kind of strange?
E-Everyone, please quiet down!
We're not done with the introductions.
Introduce yourself, Laura.
Roger, drillmaster.
Drillmaster? That's when Chifuyu-nee was in Germany...
I'm Laura Bodewig.
U-Um, is that all?
That is all.
You...
I will never acknowledge that you are her younger brother!
Not in a million years!

We have another transfer student!
This time it's a cadet representative of Germany!
It seems she has an unusual relationship with Orimura-kun!
Why is she so hostile against Orimura-kun?
And how is she involved with Chifuyu-sama?
Questions lead to more questions!
What exactly...
happened in the past?
Wait! Looks like Dunois-kun also has a secret!
