"Aichi Sendou, you are a general leading a army to defend against the forces of Qing Dynasty. What will you tell you soldiers to do?" Teacher Mark points his chalk at Aichi.
"I will... I will... tell them to run away?" Aichi stood up and stammered. The entire class burst into laughter.
"That's Aichi for you, chicken out in everything!" Kuri Murusu, the class bully, yelled in laughter.
"Stop it Kuri!" Katsumi Morikawa, co-captain of Hitsue Middle School's cardfight club, stood up and look at Kuri.
