Neru Mikamo/Synopsis

The story of Neru Mikamo from Blue Archive.
== Main Story ==
=== Clockwork Flower Pavane Arc ===
Her first major appearance was during the first chapter of the second volume, in which she was returning from a mission when she heard of Seminar, the student council, being attacked. The target was actually Seminar's contraband storage room, and the perpetrators actually consisted of a few clubs, mainly the Game Development Department (GDD for short) who was trying to obtain something called the "Optimus Mirror System", or "the Mirror", which was supposedly able to help them in their quest to make the best game for their club. During Neru's return, she was confronted by Yuzu Hanaoka, one of the GDD members, who was pretending to be a Seminar member. Yuzu told Neru about the current situation and requested her help. Despite Yuzu being an introverted person, she was able to gain the courage to confront Neru in order to prevent her from coming into contact with the other GDD members who were hiding nearby.
The GDD, with the help of two other clubs, was able to obtain the Mirror despite the defenses set up by Seminar and C&C. When Neru realized the truth of the situation, she was disappointed that her club, the strongest club in Millennium, were defeated by some game-loving nerds and that she was fooled by one of them, so she wanted to confront them again as a rematch, especially since her pride was affected.
A few days later, Neru and the rest of C&C decided to confront the GDD, who just won an award on the Millennium Prize, an event that showcases the most notable inventions and creations the clubs of Millennium had made, partially due to the help of the Mirror. The GDD was surrounded and a battle was inevitable. Three of the GDD members: Momoi Saiba, Midori Saiba, and Yuzu handled the other C&C members while Aris Tendou dealt with Neru. Although Aris was actually at a disadvantage due to her weapon being a giant railgun and the fact close-quarters combat was Neru's specialty, Aris was able to emerge victorious fairly, which Neru respected, leading to her allowing the GDD to take the win.
After the incident, Neru and the C&C became friends with the GDD, especially Neru who had been very close with Aris. Although it may seemed like Neru was just spending time with her friend Aris, the truth of the matter was that Neru had been forcing Aris to play games with her inside the arcade as she wanted to win at least once against Aris. Somehow, Aris had won 50 times in a row, and Neru wasn't happy, to the point where she would ignore her missions to look for and play against Aris, until Akase Murokane, another member of the C&C, came into the arcade to pull Neru away.
Not too long after, Maki Konuri of Veritas, a hacker club that was friends with the GDD, called the GDD to inform them of suspicious squid-like robots they found on the outskirts of Millennium. Eventually, the GDD, alongside Sensei of Schale, arrived to check out the seemingly dysfunctional robots. When they checked, the robots didn't seem like they were able to function, but when Aris approached one of the robots, the robots were activated and Aris changed personality, becoming evil.
When Aris wreaked havoc around the area, Neru arrived and stopped Aris, but she was unable to prevent Aris from landing a direct hit on Momoi with her railgun. As Momoi was recovering, Aris locked herself in her club room, worrying everyone. Sensei arrived and tried to reassure her, but someone came in and intervened. It was actually Rio Tsukatsuki, president of Seminar, and she knew of the reality behind Aris' existence. Aris was actually a weapon of armageddon named the "Princess of the Nameless Priests" and that she needed to be eliminated, but Aris, her friends, and Sensei couldn't believe it. So Rio brought out Neru to deal with them whil AMAS, Rio's army, surrounded the area. However, Neru couldn't handle following Rio's orders anymore and attacked her, especially since she's basically requested to kidnap a student. Rio knew that Neru would betray her, so she called out Toki Asuma, the secret fifth member of C&C and Rio's personal bodyguard, to deal with Neru, and Toki succeeded, allowing Rio to take Aris away as the GDD, Sensei, and Neru helplessly stood still.
The next day, Neru, the GDD, and Sensei, alongside various clubs' members who were Aris' friends, made a plan to infiltrate Rio's city named Eridu, a "Stronghold City" built to withstand the apocalypse, which she actually made from funds embezzled from Millennium. The C&C was tasked to attack from ground level, where they would meet Toki defending the area, whereas the GDD, alongside Veritas and another club named the Engineering Department, infiltrated from underground towards the central tower of Eridu. They were all able to push back Eridu's defenses although there were some tricks Rio had up her sleeve, until Rio pulled out her final card, Toki's Power Suit "Abi-Eshuh" which was able to dodge and eliminate all incoming bullets by using computational data.
Although the suit seemed nigh impenetrable, there was a flaw. Akane recalled that the suit was made for ground warfare, which gave them the idea to lead it to the air. Neru then picked up Sensei and headed to a building's rooftop, and Toki followed them promptly. When they all reached the rooftop, something exploded, leaving Neru and Toki having to fight while falling by the side of the building. While they were fighting mid-air, Yuzu noticed one of the bullets managed to hit the power suit, giving her an idea. Meanwhile, Neru landed with major injuries while Toki seemed unscathed.
Rio realized that Sensei was a variable she couldn't control, so she order Toki to take Sensei away, but the team managed to escape and hide temporarily. The situation grew even more dire, and they all began feeling hopeless, until Neru told them to not give up. Yuzu then brought up what she had in mind when she saw the bullet that landed on Toki's suit. Chihiro Kagami, who was communicating with them from afar, came up with the theory that the suit had a limit to how much computational data it could comprehend, such as when Toki was falling, since the suit had to use data to negate the fall damage, opening a very small window where the suit was vulnerable.
The team then made their last confrontation with Toki and Rio, where C&C led Toki into an elevator, where Chihiro would then set the elevator upwards at super high speeds, rendering the suit vulnerable, which Neru used the opportunity to finally defeat Toki and the suit.
After the incident was over, C&C held a discharge party for Neru. Toki apparently visited too as she heard that all C&C member would be there. Although Neru was still mad over the incident, she calmed herself down.
=== Where All Miracles Begin Arc ===
In the Final Volume, an apocalypse landed upon Kivotos, the city where the students live in, where 6 mysterious towers, named the False Sanctums, appeared all throughout the city, with each tower having a guardian. The C&C, alongside Eimi Izumimoto from Millennium, Tsurugi Kenzaki and Ichika from Trinity General School, and Cherino Renkawa from Red Winter Academy, dealt with the Iridescent Hod, one of the guardians.
