The Special Steel Squad garrison is under the jurisdiction of the Allied Forces. Train Knights of the SSS, as well as candidates who aspire to become Train Knights, live together here. |
Even though they have been deployed in actual combat, the Train Knights still have a lot to learn. Thus, when they are not deployed for missions, they gather at the academy building to attend classes and lectures. |

"Good morning, Conductor. You did a splendid job in battle the other day." |
Conductor |
I keenly felt the need to raise the overall strength of the SSS, including myself. |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"We need to develop not only our combat skills, but also knowledge of Phantom Mist. In the Mist, we will never know when we might encounter any sort of enemy..." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"That's why they need to study at school on days when they don't have to be deployed! School life is part of their jobs!" |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"Part of their jobs, I guess...?" |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"So, there's this one gag at our Flamarine school that never fails to impress. It's called the Tangled Seaweed impersonation." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Oooh- tangled seaweed! Would love to see that! Do it! Hey Putra, do it!" |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"I can't help it then! Feast your eyes then, Yoshino." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Vivienne, lift my butt up a little." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Oh, you want me to lift your butt? I have no idea what in the world you're trying to do..." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Just do it! You'll see what I mean! Come on, come on!" |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Oh mon dieu, what a position you're in! That's scandalous, you're a girl!" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Oooh! Putra, sexy!" |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"Well... you all seem to be in good spirits this morning." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Hey all of you! Class is about to start, so please be a little quieter!" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
Leave them alone. Don't waste your energy in the morning." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"But if another instructor sees this, we'll be..." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Our instructor is Conductor, right? If anything goes wrong, Conductor will take responsibility." |
Conductor |
That is of course true, but that does not mean that the other instructors do not interfere at all with the members of the SSS. It would be better to remember that some instructors will strictly discipline on your classroom attitude and lifestyle... |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"I see, so Conductor is like a homeroom teacher." |
Conductor |
That may be the most appropriate description for me. However, don't worry, I will always be in the classroom during class. I am always with everyone, whether on the train or in the classroom. |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"The problem here is that each instructor is in charge of their subjects. There's rumors that the instructor in charge of our combat training for the SSS is from the St. Iris Knight Academy..." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"What's the problem with that? If its an instructor at that Academy, wouldn't you know who, Queensway?" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"If it's that person I suspect, I think we should take our seats immediately and start getting ready for class. I can only think of that one instructor who's in task of combat training..." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"The 'Demon Instructor', famous for being strict at the Knight Academy. Some students are so terrified of her that they run away. |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"The Demon Instructor..." |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"EVERYONE STAY WHERE YOU ARE!" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Eh?" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"I knew it..." |
Here comes the instructor in charge of today's lecture or training. Unfortunately for them, Queensway's prediction is spot on. |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"Don't take a step. Don't even move an inch. Stay as still as a statue until I say so." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Stay!? What do you mean, 'stay'? Look at my posture! Can I stay like this?" |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Not my problem. It's your own fault that you're in a weird pose, Putra." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Gimme a hand, Vivienne! This is not good! My joints are coming off!" |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Hey, don't look at me. you're making me laugh... pfft-" |
Putra is lying on the floor with her arms and legs intertwined. Yoshino's pretty excited looking at her. Vivienne is trying desperately to hold back her laughter as she locks eyes with Putra. It's the worst possible situation they can have in front of the "Demon Instructor". |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"Alright, I see three people who aren't in their seats. All but those three to relax." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Phew~ saved~" |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"Not you!" |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Yes, sir!" |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"You are, Putra. Explain to me why are you in this strange pose?" |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"I'm just..." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"I'm just trying to show my friends a trick!" |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"What kind of trick? Doing your best impression of tangled seaweed?" |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"How do you know? |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"Because you kind of looked like one." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Pfftfft... that's what it actually looks like..." |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"Oi Vivienne, what's so funny?" |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"N-, nothing! I'm not laughing!" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Ooh, a special class where we cannot laugh..." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Y-Yoshino, you're not h-helping wipft..." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"You'll do well in a comedy skit." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Hey, hey, don't be mad at Putra, okay? Yoshino insisted to see it. Yoshino's the one who is at fault, so will do a funny pose in her place instead. Would want you to forgive her. This is Yoshino's request." |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
No, I did not ask you to pose funny..." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
If so, please allow Putra to revert to normal. Putra is about to reach her limit." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Y, yeah, that's right! My joints, my joints... hurt!" |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"..." |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"...You may ease up for now." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Phew! I did it! Thanks Yoshino! I had a hard time getting my right toe unstuck from my left armpit!" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Right toe getting stuck on left armpit!? How on earth did you do that...?" |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"You don't have to wonder! How long are you all going to keep screwing around!" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"I am terribly sorry! Instructor Finchley!" |
Vivienne & Putra |
"Instructor Finchley?" |
Conductor |
Yes, her name is Miss Finchley. She is the famous "Demon Instructor" of the St. Iris Knight Academy. |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"Hello Conductor, it's been awhile. I apologize for not being able to attend the commemorative ceremony. I've been busy with field work lately." |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"But you could have given a little more thought to the timing, couldn't you? I'm very grateful that you've entrusted me with teaching a class like this from day one, but I would have liked to know a little more of the situation before I started teaching." |
Conductor |
We have a lot of ideas. I know it's not easy, but I'm sure Miss Finchley will do well. |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"Shush, you're really a smooth talker, aren't you? Instructing fellow members of the SSS is different from handling ordinary students." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"A fellow member of the SSS? Does that mean you're a Train Knight too?" |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"Certainly. Once I go through the regular inauguration of the SSS, I too will be a Train Knight aboard the Mist Train." |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"Allow me to introduce myself once again. I'm Finchley, and I've been assigned as an instructor at this academy starting today. I am in charge of all matters related to combat. I will be teaching a wide range of topics related to the fight against the Phantom Mist." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Another experienced instructor. This should be interesting." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Experienced in what? Love?" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Love? What? Of course it's field experience." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Instructor Finchley has had many front-line assignments. She is very popular among the Knight Academy students because her teachings are based on actual combat experience." |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"Hello, Queensway, it's been a long time. Good to see you here, too." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Yes, sir! Nice to meet you too!" |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"Conductor, may I begin my class immediately?" |
Conductor |
Of course. The bell already rang. It's your show, Finchley. |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"Thank you." |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"That's how it is. I'd like to begin our first class right away." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"I'm looking forward to it. What are ya going to teach us for today?" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"I've already prepped my textbook!" |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"Oh, you can put your textbooks away, we won't be using them today." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Eeeh, but I've done a lot of prep work!" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Donmai, Queensway." |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
I want to see how good you all are. We're going to move to the training area and have you girls do a mock battle. We had planned to have a classroom lecture, but we changed the schedule at a moment's notice." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Hmmhmm, let's give it a try. I'll show ya what the great Yakutsk can do. |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"I'm glad you're up for it. That's what the SSS is all about." |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"By the way, Conductor, about what's going to happen next... got a minute?" |
Finchley pulled out a letter and showed it to me. |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"I was given one just a few minutes ago myself. I apologize for the short notice, but I need your help." |
Finchley brought me a letter of command. Why in the world would she bring it to me... at this time? With a sense of discomfort I accepted the directive as the SSS captain. |
