Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury

Admission process, check.

Uniform, check.

School regulations, check.

Cockpit regulations, check.

Don't worry, Aerial.

I did an application for you, too.

Arriving at Front Sector 73,

Asticassia School of Technology, in five minutes.

The ship will now enter a docking course.

That's the school?

Mom, I finally made it!

What? No way! You can't!

This is the bridge.

They'll die! What?

S.. Someone is...

Someone is outside! Rescue team, alert.

A person is in need of rescue.

Prepare for extravehicular activity. Roger!

Please confirm victim's status. It should be over here.

Are there any signs

of collision with debris?

If you move forward, you gain two.

What?

I'll save them!

Hey! What do you think you're doing?

Leave the rescue to us!

Do they intend to leave the ship?

Damn it...

Attention mobile suit pilot!

We're opening the exit hatch.

Stay put until then!

I.. I'm sorry.

If you spot someone in need of rescue, let us know.

We'll respond immediately.

Yes sir!

Almost out of oxygen. Beginning rescue!

Are...

Are you okay?

Hello? Can you..

Don't interfere!

Excuse me?

I'd almost made my escape!

Because of you, it's all for nothing!

You'll take responsibility for this.

Sure.

Ms. Suletta Mercury?

Y.. Yes!

You're here to observe the drills, right?

I'm Nika Nanaura, a second-year student in Mechanics.

If you have any questions, just ask.

Yes, M...

Thank y...

Thank y.. you verr... Are you nervous?

I.. I've never...

been to...

a school before.

It's your first time?

Say, is it true you're from Mercury?

Do people live there?

What's your major?

I'm in the Piloting department...

That makes you one of the elite! What did you transfer here for?

My mother...

told me to go.

Your mother?

So did she also tell you to wear that old-fashioned hair band?

Cut it out!

Yes, of course!

Seriously?

Miorine Rembran.

I've heard what happened.

Prepare immediately to join the class.

Yes sir.

I.. I'll take...

I'll take responsibility!

I.. I'll help you with your escape!

Just tell me what I should do! It's you!

You're the girl who got in my way!

Responsibility? What's that?

Idiot!

This isn't the place... Responsibility, huh?

Why not let her take it?

You want to run away, right?

To Earth. Class is in session!

No more chatter!

Earth?

A red Dilanza.

It must be Guel Jeturk.

Apologies for interrupting your drills.

This is an official duel,

approved by the Duelling Committee.

I, Shaddiq Zenelli, will be the witness.

I ask that no one interfere.

A duel?

Hey! That way is...

No way. Are they coming toward us?

Go, Guel!

Get him!

Ms. Suletta!

You fool! Do you want to get hit?

Run!

Did you see that, Miorine?

How Guel Jeturk fights his duels!

Both you and the company

will be mine before long.

Class is still in session, brother.

Leave here immediately.

The bastard down there laughed at me.

Calling me a man with a runaway bride.

Bride?

That jerk.

Hold it, Miorine!

The rules say that when you lose, you apologize like a groveling worm.

I want you to see how he does that.

I'm home.

E.. Excuse me!

You again?

I.. I just wanted to thank you

for saving me earlier.

M.. Ms. Miorine,

About your fiancé.. Stop. I never agreed to any of that.

You mean that guy

just decided on his own that you're engaged?

It was a duel. What?

At our school,

the students settle important matters through duels.

Money, authority, apologies...

Even marriage partners.

So, you're going to marry him?

Why?

My lousy father designed it that way.

Jeturk Heavy Machinery,

Peil Technologies,

Grassley Defence Systems...

These three are the Benerit Group's highest earners for this period.

However,

the Parneo Company has recorded a loss

for three consecutive periods.

Our group has no need for companies in the red.

I am hereby suspending their access to the group's finances.

Wait a minute, President Delling!

If that happens, we'll go bank.. Exactly.

You'll go bankrupt.

Their financial documents indicate there is potential for recovery.

They've had their chance.

The only thing I'm interested in is results.

I've assigned two agents to keep watch on Mistress Miorine.

Would you like to meet them?

For what?

You know better than to waste my time.

Stay out!

I.. I'm sorry!

What is your deal?

Excuse me, what is that?

What is what?

It's a tomato, naturally.

That's a tomato?

What exactly do you Mercurians eat?

We do have tomato flavouring, but...

Here.

Th.. Thank you!

Just bite into it.

It's good!

Not all tomatoes taste good.

That one's special.

My mother made it.

She made a tomato? That specific breed, of course!

Your mother...

It's the same for me.

My mother

sent me here to study, so that I could

make Mercury a more prosperous planet.

That's why...

I see.

So, your mother is still alive.

S.. S.. Sorry!

Hand me your student notebook.

Why?

You don't know the way back, right?

Once I've given you the school map app, scram and leave me alone.

Playing farmer again?

All this pretending you're on Earth...

what's it good for?
