(The next day)

The next day chifuyu took her class to the arena for training

Chifuyu:we'll now start practicing basic IS piloting Orimura,Oclott, Stratos give us a demonstration
Chifuyu said as she waits

Cecilia; very well ma'am
Cecilia said as she activates his IS

Max;yes sensei
Max said as he activated his IS

Ichika tried at first but failed but he activated it with some not so motivation....once he does the three of them fly into the air

Chifuyu; you're to slow byakushiki's output specs are much better
Chifuyu said

Ichika;but what can I do I have to imagine expanding a pyramid in front of me or something right? No I don't really get it
Ichika said as he flies

Cecilia;images only do so much for you it would be much more constructive to conceive an easier way for you
Cecilia said as she flies

Max;for me I just think I'm a rocket in space
Max said as he flies

Ichika;flying in the sky still feels awkward how does this thing fly at all
Ichika asked

Cecilia;well I could instruct you after classes if you want me to
Cecilia said

Ichika;what
Ichika said

Max;oh brother can't you talk later
Max said

Cecilia;shut up stratos anyways ichika we'll be alon-
Cecilia gets cut off by chifuyu

Chifuyu;Orimura,Oclott,Stratos demonstrate a nose dive to a complete stop
Chifuyu said as she watches from the ground

Max and Cecilia perform the nose dive well and sticker the landing as for ichika well

Houki;ichika!
Houki said as she heads towards the crater

Gudako;hey Max that was an awesome landing
Gudako said as goes next to Max as he deactivate his IS

Max looks towards Gudako to see her in a spandex like suit like him but it's colors were orange and black

Max blushes as he looks away
Max;y-yeah it was good
Max said

Gudako sees Max blush and she realizes that he was looking at her suit and blushes
Gudako;a-anyways do you think ichika will be okay?
Gudako said as they see the damage ichika made

Max;he should be fine
Max said as he watches houki and Cecilia stare each other down

(The next day because I could think of anything to put here😅)

The next day the whole class was talking about a new transfer student who became the representative of China

Student; only classes 1 and 4 have personal suits so it should be a piece of cake
One student said

?;that info's outdated class 2 got a class rep with a personal suit too it won't be that easy to win
A voice said

Ichika sees the person who said that
Ichika;rin?

Max look towards one of the doors to see some girl with twin tails
Max;what the hell?
Max said

Gudako;I bet 5$ she's another childhood friend
Gudako said
Gudako said

Max thinks for a few minutes before answering
Max;I'll take that bet 20 and I'll let you get one thing one from my stuff
Max said

Gudako;deal!
Gudako said

And after they were don't talking chifuyu came and knocked rin on the head and class started..... after a few hours of agonizing studying and learning about the IS Academy Max and Gudako went  to the cafeteria and sat next to rin and ichika

Gudako:yay I win
Gudako said as max gives her the money

Max;this is some bullshit
Max said as he eats his food

Ichika;so when did you become a cadet representative?
Ichika asked

Rin;I was the one surprised to see you and that other guy on the news
Rin said

Max;I have a name you know it's Max
Max said

Rin;oh sorry Max
Rin said as she apologizes

Ichika;I never knew I'd end up here either
Ichika said

Rin;I heard you activated an IS at the entrance exam how did that happen
Rin said

Ichika;it's not so easy to explain
Ichika said As he tells his story

As he does Max sees Gudako eating her food....as he does he kinda sees a resemblance of a hamster when Gudako eats

Max:huh cute
Max said

Gudako;what did you say?
Gudako asked as she looks towards him

Max;nothing
Max said as Cecilia and houki arrives to their table

Houki;ichika care to explain how you know her
Houki asked

Cecilia;indeed ichika-san could she be your g-g-girlfriend
Cecilia said

Rin;I-I-I'm not really
Rin said nervously

Ichika;she's right we're just childhood friends
Ichika said as rin looks at him

Ichika:oh something wrong?
Ichika asked

Max;Gudako I think this is our cue to leave
Max said as he gets up

Gudako;yep
Gudako said as she follows Max's lead and heads out of the cafeteria

(A few minutes later)

After classes were over ichika,houki and Cecilia went to the arena to train as Max and Gudako went there to watch ichika get beaten up

Houki;alright than ichika let's go
Houki said as she gets her sword ready

Ichika;s-sure
Ichika said as he prepares himself

Cecilia;hold it! I will be ichika's opponent
Cecilia said as she gets her IS

Houki;now ichika we're starting the practice
Houki said as she takes a stance

Gudako;hey Max why don't you help ichika
Gudako asked

Max;those two are helping him plus he should be fine
Max said

Gudako;come on it'll be fun
Gudako said

Max signs and heads to the arena floor
Max;alright alright
Max said as he walks

Cecilia I'll take you on ichika!
Cecilia said

Ichika;oh man
Ichika said

Max;hold it you two I'm taking him on first
Max said as he walks towards them in his IS

Ichika;thank go- wait why is there music
Ichika said as a shadow of Max stands behind him

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

After that you can hear ichika screams from miles away
