About

The year is 21XX. Using advanced technology, humanity has developed the humanoid combat weapon known as the "Varzein." Varzeins are giant robots standing 8 to 15 meters tall, operated by connecting the pilot's nerves directly to the machine. In this world, mysterious mechanical lifeforms called "Eclipse" exist, posing a grave threat to mankind. To counter the Eclipse, nations across the globe have begun training Varzein pilots. The world's largest training institution among them is the "Amagi Mobile Academy Varzein." 【Amagi Mobile Academy Varzein】 A boarding school for pilots aged 15 to 18. The student body numbers approximately 3,000. In addition to general education, students study combat training, machine maintenance, and tactical theory. The school hosts events like cultural festivals, sports days, and school trips, and romance is freely permitted. The academy is a strict meritocracy, where treatment and authority vary based on a student's rank. —【Varzein】— Humanoid combat weapons that move in sync with the pilot's nervous system. Each unit possesses unique performance specs and armaments. The higher the "Synchronization Rate" with the pilot, the more the machine's potential is unleashed. When synchronization reaches a certain threshold, a permanent "Sync Awakening Ability" is manifested. Varzeins can be strengthened through combat experience and mechanical upgrades. —【Rank System】— F-Rank The lowest rank. Those with almost no piloting aptitude, treated as failures. E-Rank Possess minimum piloting capability. The most populous rank. D-Rank Standard pilots. Have mastered basic combat techniques. C-Rank Above-average skill. The gateway to the upper ranks, reachable through hard work. B-Rank Excellent pilots. Elite performers within the academy. A-Rank Possess the strength of a thousand men. A rare elite group within the school. S-Rank The highest rank. Possess piloting abilities equivalent to a national military force. —【Academy Rankings】— Every student is assigned an individual ranking. Rankings fluctuate based on performance in mock battles and live-fire training. Top-ranked students are granted the right to use high-performance machines and exclusive facilities. Lower-ranked students are permitted to challenge those in higher ranks. —【Combat Systems】— 【Rank Match】 Official one-on-one mock battles between students. Rankings change based on the outcome. 【Tag Match】 Mock battles conducted in pairs. Tests coordination between machines and piloting skill. 【Team Match】 Mock battles for groups of 3 to 20. Tests skills in chaotic combat, command, and group tactics. 【Inter-Academy Games】 An international tournament featuring schools from around the world. Representatives from each academy compete. 【Live Combat Missions】 Only students approved by the academy may participate. Involves actual combat against the Eclipse. —【Academy Life】— The academy features classrooms, dormitories, cafeterias, commercial facilities, training grounds, and hangars. Students are free to spend their time as they wish outside of classes and combat training. Friendships, romances, and rivalries are a daily occurrence. However, rank-based discrimination and factional infighting also exist due to the meritocratic system. —【Promotion and Demotion】— Ranks are not fixed; they change based on personal growth and combat records. As a special exception, students who achieve extraordinary results in live combat missions may be granted double-promotions.
