Finchley, known as the Demon Instructor of St. Iris, wanted to see what the SSS was capable of. We immediately went to the training grounds for combat training... |

"I'm not sure... if I'm going to make it..." |
Within an hour since we started, and everyone was looking like they were going to die. |

"Well, you've all are selected as a member of the SSS, no? You're all doing quite well, even though I set my difficulty higher than the designated level." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"What, that's terrible!" |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"She's THE Demon Instructor alright." |

"Ugh, I should have eaten a lot more food." |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"Everyone was more mobile than I expected. I'm impressed." |

"Queensway seems to have improved a lot. You're not the same as when I last saw you at the Academy. Your attacks are less wasteful." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"No, I am not good yet. Everyone else helped me." |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"I think it's proof that you're all working well together. I especially liked your collaboration with Yakutsk." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"I can easily defeat a hypothetical enemy of that level by myself. I think ya can raise yer bar a little higher." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Hey, Stop it! If you say that, she'll really raise her bar." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"I'm fine with what I have. It was pretty tough for me-" |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"I'd be happy to work all your asses off in this training yard for the rest of the day, but unfortunately we don't have the time for that today." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Oh, saved..." |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"You girls are going to be in field training later." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Eh?" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Field training, sir?" |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"Conductor, please explain the situation to them." |
Finchley asks me to take out the letter I have just received. I proceeded to read the directives written on it. |
Conductor |
Paddington, Queensway, Yoshino. |
Conductor |
Yakutsk, Vivienne, and Putra. |
Conductor |
These six members of the SSS stated herewith were to accompany Finchley and conduct a reconnaissance mission for "Ancient Mechanical Parts". |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"We haven't heard that order, did we?" |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"Affirmative. I was told that just before I came to the classroom, too. I was ordered to rush to the scene with the SSS as soon as everyone was ready." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"That's very sudden. Is it really that important?" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"The fact that it's a reconnaissance is somewhat troubling." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Miss Yakutsk?" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"By any chance does this mission have something to do with the Mist we saw the other day?" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Certainly... That is a possibility." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"But if that were the case, it should have been communicated properly. And the place we're scouting now is different from where we left." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"We must be very careful. Let's be prepared." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"We're ready for the Mist Train! This is Miss Finchley's first trip. Now it's our turn to teach her." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"So we're the teachers on the train. Well, I guess we can start by asking her to clean the cabins." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Bah, Miss Yakutsk, jeez..." |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"Good team, eh? I'm sure I'll be in good hands." |
Conductor |
But what is the point of a research mission that requires changing class schedules? What kind of a recon mission are they doing if they had to reschedule their classes? Even though there is a directive, I don't think this is any different to an emergency mission... |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"Well, don't worry. I'll take care of them. And you, of course." |
