Yukari's Equal (OC in Girls Und Panzer)

Practice and Trial by Fire

The leaders of the Ooarai Tankery team sat in the student council office.

"So, to start off this meeting, we will be discussing the placement of Rin!" Anzu clasped her hands together. Rin raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?" He asked. Miho giggled.

"Well with the show of command you gave me back in our match with St. Goriana, where I was completely locked up, we all felt that you'd be wasted in the radio spot of the Panzer 4," She explained.

"Huh?" Rins eyes widened. "But I was just fine there.." Rin trailed off. He supposed it's true that he would prefer a spot with more agency. "Well, who's gonna take my place?"

"Don't worry about that," Miho reassured. "Hana knows someone who would be more than willing to take the spot."

"U-huh.. where will I be going?" Rin asked, hoping above all it wouldn't be the freshman's team, that tank was cramped as is already.

"In your own tank, silly!" Anzu slapped Rins back.

"Wa-aa-aaah?!" Rin let out, dumbfounded. "We have another tank available?"

"Nope," Rommel shook her head.

"Huh?" Rin let out, confused. "Then what..?"

"Your own tank of course!" Anzu yelled in his ear. "You've got a whole private collection right?"

"Oh yeah!" Rin started catching on.

"Wait.." Sawa interrupted the proceedings. "Couldn't we use those tanks to increase our arsenal?"

"Nope! They aren't school property, besides I've only filled out the necessary paperwork to allow Rin to use one, and only one of his own personal tanks in our Tankery club!" Anzu replied, implying she was too lazy to fill out any more.

"What about a crew?" Rin asked.

"Well, we've got the Engineering Club looking to join in on Tankery more than they already are (that is, repairing everything), or the Public Morals Committee," Anzu listed the two options.

"With Public Morals Committee, you mean Midoriko Sono's group?" Rin asked carefully.

"Sodoko's group, yes," Anzu confirmed.

"Hmm.. I'd rather have the Engineering Club." Rin thought out loud. Somewhere, Sodoko sneezes.

"Okidoke! What about the name?" Anzu asked as Yuzu wrote down what Rin had chosen.

"Callsign? How about.. Leopard!" Rin proposed after a brief moment of thought.

"Oh! Why?" Rommel asked.

"Because my favourite tank is the Leopard 2!" Rin declared, grinning. Everyone kind of expected a greater reason, but they should've known that would've only ended gravely.

"I see. Then what tank are you gonna bring?" Yuzu asked, writing down more information on her clipboard.

"I'm gonna need some time to decide.." Rin put his hand to his chin, closing his eyes in deep thought.

"Alright, in the meantime, let's talk about the enemy for the next match," Yuzu moved on. "Our enemy for the next match will be Saunders High. From what we know, they are equipped with various sherman variants, such as the Easy Eights, standard M4A1s, and A6 variants, but we don't know what they'll actually use in the match-"

"I-if I may interrupt," Miho spoke up. "Yukari managed to find out what tanks they're going to use this match." Everyones eyes widened.

"Woah!" Went Sawa.
