The first 200 lines.
Asticassia School of Technology
We will now begin the duel.
The format will be serial battle.
If any of the challengers should defeat the Holder,
that victor shall continue battling subsequent challengers
and the last pilot standing will be the new Holder.
This is an official duel, approved by the Dueling Committee.
The witness shall be me, the head of Peil House.
Elan Ceres at your service!
Yeah, yeah...
But why is Felsi Rollo representing Jeturk House?
She's cramping my style.
Shut up!
Then why are you here for Grassley House, Renee?
Isn't Ms. Sabina enough as your rep?!
Our house's roster isn't as thin as yours!
You two fangirls.
Ours is way larger!
Why don't you pipe down?
What?!
Secelia...
Please don't be rude to our observers.
Let's all play nice!
Mr. Elan has changed, hasn't he?
I'd say he's a different person.
Unlocking MS container.
KP028, Ebony Boas...
Azrawan, moving out!
Now passing Point N 138!
Entering tactical testing sector. Fasten your seatbelts.
Hey, Nika.
Nika!
S-Sorry!
Opening hatch!
Suletta, are you ready?
Yes!
LP041, Suletta Mercury...
Aerial, moving out!
Both parties, face off.
Victory is never decided by mobile suit performance, alone.
Nor by the skill of the pilot, alone.
The result itself is the only truth.
5th Tactical Testing Sector
Fix release.
Your bride will be mine, Mercurian wench!
Aerial!
No damage to Aerial!
Plenty of battery charge left!
You can keep fighting!
Roger. Continue to the next area.
It's a serial battle! Rest while you can!
Right!
Second battle.
16th Tactical Testing Sector
To hell with your new look!
Everyone!
Look at that.
Can't they put up a fight?
Third battle!
8th Tactical Testing Sector
Don't let her catch her breath!
I'll at least score one hit!
Damn it!
Why does only the Mercurian...
It can't be helped.
After all, she's Mistress Holder who crushed the three top branches.
Even so, this serial battle is our best chance to beat her.
10th Tactical Testing Sector
Take advantage of the Holder's dueling obligation, right, Rouji?
Watch it, you!
Haro...
As long as there are challengers,
the Holder must accept a duel once every two weeks.
While the Aerial was being rebuilt,
five duels were postponed by special exception.
One to go!
Enough is enough!
2nd Tactical Testing Sector
That should give the challengers an edge, but...
I made a promise.
Until the day of Ms. Miorine's birthday...
I won't lose!
The rebuilt Aerial now surpasses any other machine in the Benerit Group.
That mobile suit creeps me out.
No plans to challenge her again, Mr. Elan?
That's up to company policy.
I won, Ms. Miorine.
Episode 13
An Open Campus?
For three days, starting tomorrow, prospective students will visit our school.
They'll experience mock classes and lectures.
Current students will organize events, too.
It'll be like a festival.
Wow!
What a joke...
They're having fun in total ignorance.
It's not their fault.
They really don't know.
All the media are reporting what happened at Plant Quetta as an accident.
The whole thing's been hushed up.
If you talk about it, you'll be expelled at once.
We were attacked! We can't just let it go!
This isn't a fistfight.
But I can never forgive them!
It was terrorism!
Chuchu, keep your voice down.
But still...
How long will you two be moping around?
It's been two weeks!
Stuff it.
It was real combat...
wasn't it?
If we get... caught up in that again...
Don't worry.
Aerial and I are here with you.
Ms. Suletta?
Oh, I'd better go tend to the greenhouse.
Suletta seems in good spirits.
She went outside the plant to help Miorine, didn't she?
Most people would freak out.
Company business is suspended, too.
When's she coming back, huh?
Benerit Group Front
Our illustrious president...
Recovery from a spinal injury is a long-term struggle.
You'll need rest too, Mistress Miorine.
Thanks.
Just how long are you going to sleep, you lousy father?
The crime was committed by the Dawn of Fold.
They're an anti-Spacian group.
Is it true that Jeturk mobile suits were used to carry out the attack?
We have evidence.
The machine is called a Desultor.
There's no mistake.
If your products are being used for terrorism...
You must not be very careful with your customers.
We're working to identify the purchase route--
At the moment, we're discussing your culpability,
Acting CEO, Lauda Neill...
Shaddiq, continue.
Besides the Desultors,
there were two machines with unregistered Permet ID codes.
The GUND Format's parallel structure was detected from both of them.
In other words...
Gundams.
The heinous actions of these Earthians have left President Delling near death
and robbed us of our comrade Vim Jeturk.
They cannot be forgiven.
Discreetly but swiftly, we must find those responsible
and settle this with our own hands.
This is a battle for the dignity of the Benerit Group.
Now is the time to join together!
If the truth gets out, our company's credibility will be ruined.
You really don't know where those two Gundams came from?
I wouldn't lie to you, Father.
You're not to leave the campus until things calm down.
You must also refrain from taking part in duels or company business.
Shaddiq!
Was President Sarius angry?
I guess I've fallen behind in the succession race.
You must've calculated on that.
Well, what next?
We'll drag my father into it.
Into my plan, that is...
Is that why you summoned... those two?
They'll be questioning Ms. Miorine a little longer as a person of interest.
You won't be able to speak to her just yet.
I can't call you without permission either.
Do you think she's reading my emails?
Is the incident at the plant still bothering you?
How did you know?
I'm your mother.
At that moment...
I can't help wondering if there was a better way.
If you two hadn't gone to the rescue,
Ms. Miorine and the President could have been killed.
You did the right thing, Suletta.
Right...
If you say so, Mom, then it must be true.
Of course. I'm sure she'll understand eventually.
Thanks, Mom.
Have you found their source?
Nothing yet. I'll continue investigating.
Thank you, Godoy.
Ms. Nika?
Huh?
Oh, uh... s-sorry if I scared you.
Not at all. What is it?
I wanted to have a chat with Aerial.
Maybe get some life advice...
Too much has happened lately, right?
What about you, Ms. Nika? Are you okay?
Since we got back, you seem to be lost in thought.
Like just now.
It's fine. Nothing important.
Don't you... want my advice?
I-I might not be able to help.
But Ms. Nika, you're...
a precious friend to me.
You amaze me, Suletta.
