3rd POV

SoVR: I believe that you shall.

And so, another day passes, like how time would flow. 

Today, it seems. That Chifuyu has decided to finally let the students operate an IS. Naturally, the pilots in training, or as some would say, students, are required to wear the appropriate outfit befitting that of sports clothing.


Well, not really "operate", per se.

Chifuyu: For today's lesson, we're going to be operating the basic controls of an IS. Orimura, Alcott, Yap. You 3 are up first. 

Cecilia: Not a problem.

Yap: (Slightly nods) Understood.

Cecilia activates her Blue Tears first, followed by Yap with SoVR in it's melee stance. Both of these personal IS pilots easily activate/summon their ISes without much issue as they've grown accustomed to it.

Ichika however..

Well... He isn't used to it yet. Besides, the Byakushiki hasn't completely formed a "relationship" with Ichika, so to speak.

Thus, when he tried to summon it, nothing happened except time continuing to flow.

Chifuyu: Move it, Orimura! Any experienced IS pilot should take less than a second to deploy.

Finally, Ichika managed to get Byakushiki to engage by calling out it's name. Lo and behold, the next moment, Ichika was in his IS.

Yap: Worse comes to worst, just remember the name of your IS, Ichika.. 

Yap lets out a sigh too silent for anyone to hear, except for himself and SoVR.

Chifuyu: Good. Now fly!

Following Chifuyu orders, the 3 pilots take to the skies, in order of who activated their IS first. Namely Cecilia, Yap, followed by Ichika. The last which was still a little struggling.

By the time Ichika did take off, his flying was rather wild and uncontrollable.

Cecilia, who was already in the air, hovered for a while to wait for the males to catch up before continuing.

Yap: Ichika. Take control of Byakushiki. Imagine it not as a caught prey squirming beneath you, but an extension of you.

Ichika: E-easy for you to say! Whoah!

Without any more warning or words of advice, Yap zooms past through Ichika and Cecilia, catching the latter off guard.

Cecilia: [So that was how he won.. Just by this pure speed alone? But that shouldn't be right..]

Cecilia and Ichika eventually flew at the same speed, both chatting away a little.

Cecilia: If you'd like, I'd be happy to give you lessons every day after school.
