With Ōarai triumphant in the 63rd National Sensha-dō tournament, and their means of triumph dwarfing anyone's expectations. The world of Sensha-dō is now thoroughly shaken,
With Ōarai now welcoming their new boy contenders with open arms, and leavi...
All were information on the American boy's team at Ōarai,
It was completely different than one would expect, usually Saunders would be the apple of any American transfer student's eye.
Of course, the boys were likely here for Sensha-dō, however, she still could not get the appeal for boys riding tanks.
For the longest time, it was girls who did anything and everything with tanks,
It was of major cultural importance, to have tanks that boys drove was nearly out of the question,
But, despite all of the odds, a boy's team, somehow managed to make themselves known in this culturally feminine realm.
She sighed,
She started using tanks all the way back when she was a mere elementary school student, she then grew through intermediate and high school at the top of her class, and then went to a Sensha-dō college and graduated there.
The boy teams, being from places like America, a country that doesnt have Sensha-dō or school ships or anything of that matter,
All of a sudden, have made up YEARS of experience and hard work in almost no time at all, only starting the sport around a few months ago.
And then, they turned around, and almost single-handedly defeated Kuromorimine. The prestigious highschool known virtually only for Sensha-dō and nothing else, using top of the line tanks, and is commanded by the heir to the Nishizumi style, Maho Nishizumi who was an expert in the art of Sensha-dō.
Even though tanks like the T29 that the boys used, were rare, one cannot simply stand up to a twenty vs one situation and win with such ease.
Chiyo contemplated heavily on the tactics the boys used, what was their strategy?
She played replays of some of their matches on a screen.
She replayed it over and over.
It was evident and known that Sensha-dō was a Japan-exclusive sport, practiced by no other country in the whole world, except for a few short spurts that failed miserably.
As she analyzed the replays, she began to think of another possibility.
Based on how they dressed....
Surely they would wear the same uniforms as Ōarai, but they did not,
Instead it was equipped with an olive drab jacket, and enough equipment and tools on him to stock a full workshop.
The holster had the butt of a pistol in it.
The markings on their tank seemed to look a non-sportlike fashion,
The dull olive drab, scratched paint, soot on the barrel of the gun.
Surely they must know that doesn't look pretty.
She usually think of it as the boy team transgressing the beauty of their tank, by making it look worn.
She thought a little deeper.
Something on the bookshelf caught her eye
She pulled out a dust covered tank book,
It was from a long time ago,
She opened it,
Inside were many pictures of tanks from old schools,
She drifted over to the page about Shermans, now, it mentioned the conflict known as "World War II"
She knew what World War II was, and how it ended.
But, even though these tanks were from World War II, she never paid any interest in it.
World War II to her was simply a long ago war, that almost no one cared about, except for a few perhaps.
But...
The boys did mention World War II at least once...
She decided to pursue deeper.....
She looked up World War II on her computer.
She pulled up a wiki page about it.
It showed a brief summary,
But nothing too in depth.
She then went back to the search bar.
She typed in "Tanks of World War II" into the search bar.
Nothing but pictures of Sensha-dō World War II era vehicles popped up, the pictures taken in the modern day.
Were any crewed by boys?
She looked for a bit
Hm, nothing....
Perhaps this was another wild goose chase.
But there was another nagging feeling in her head,
And then, an idea popped up.
The boys were AMERICAN.
If she could access what information they were likely using, then she could perhaps find their secret.
After a quick tour in the settings and the use of a VPN. she set her IP address to the United States.
She then looked up Tanks of World War II there.
What she got was COMPLETELY different

were those MEN driving a Tiger TANK??
There was absolutely NO tanks with Sensha-dō markings.
Next she typed in, "What is the Purpose of tanks"
A Tank is an Armored Fighting Vehicle intended as a OFFENSIVE WEAPON IN FRONTLINE COMBAT....
