## Plot

While eating lunch at the canteen, Lyne Mei and the others discussing who would teach them with Lyne wants Firenda to become their instructor, as she looked nice and seemed like a kind person. Both Jail Murdoch and Sakai Tokikaze believes that Alan would be their instructors, which they begin to argue each other as they shared the same thought. Alan comes in and said that they had become friends real fast, which they both disagreed. Pele Poporo went ahead to ask Alan that if the school have a place allow them to check something. At first, Alan was confused due to the way Pele asked the question, he soon realized that Pele want to use computer for searching some information. Alan then said that they're allowed to use the computer room but they had to make sure they don't cost too much electrical. While Alan leaves, Hina Farrow and Lyne was confused at it as computer doesn't exists in Althea.

Jail and the others entered the computer room with him trying to figure out how to use computer by smashing the keyboard, Pele look at the tutorial book around to learn how to use it. Pele visit a website named "Wikipedia", searching the information about where they are now and what happened before the Abandonment War. Pele then found out a Wikipedia page about the "Nuclear War", which they are confused. Alan, who standing outside the computer room, stated that Nuclear War was a war that happened several years ago in attempt to steal the remaining resources from the Earth and because of this war, several countries got destroyed and abandoned in the process. One day, a "god" was fallen from the sky to Japan, which would later known as the "Althing", the same name that were used to refers the black hands and laws in present time. The United Nations, after they discovered Althing, they used the Ballots to stopped the war temporarily and the Abandonment War won't start until the next year. After the explanation, Alan told them that the class is about to start so they should return to their classroom and leave.

After Alan left, Jail and the others begins to question about the origin of Althing. Pele speculating that if Althing really wasn't created by Althea but a certain entity fallen from the sky as Alan said, there's a possible that the counts and how people always send into the Abyss when their count reaches zero was, in fact, set by the humanity with the uses of the Althing. If what Pele says was true, it only raises even more questions, as why would Althea even create those rules in the first place and how did Althing ended up staying on Althea in the present time. Before they could discuss more about it, the class is about to begin to they had to leave the computer room. While they went back to the classroom, Pele looked at the recorder placed inside the computer room which Alan wondered if they noticed him secretly spying them. Hearing their conversation, Alan found it strange that they know nothing about the computer and the modern stuffs and wonder where were they from. The strangest thing he found was the name "Althea" being mentioned. Before he could think more, Schmelman goes to see him for a "small" request.

Later when the class started, both Jail and Tokikaze wasn't happy due to both of them being in the same class and sat next to each other. While Hina is happy that they all studies in the same class, Pele ask her if she is fine because staying at the school means she would be trained as a solider, which she just realized about it and scared. Lyne, on the other hand, says she likes the school as she can wear long skirt just so people won't mock her for wearing mini-skirt anymore. However, when Alan entered the classroom, he told Lyne to shorten her skirt so that she won't act too arrogant. Alan introduces himself and reveals he was originally the one who would teach the class, but due to a request the job was changed to Schmelman instead. He then tells Schmelman that he will watch over him and asks him not to cause any messes, this caused the students panicked as they believes Schmelman may cause something's bad to them.

As the class started, Schmelman states he originally wanted to read some storybooks to the students, but he must explain the rules of the school first beforehand. He explains that each students will receive two stars, in order to stay they must own at least one star and if they don't have any star will be expelled from the school. If a student obtained ten stars, they will be graduated from the school and joined the military immediately. The instructors would check at the student's stars every day at 18:00. Hina then ask Schmelman how to obtain more stars, he explains that the students who gained good scores at exams and activities will get a star. If they want a more effective way to get star, they would had to fight against another student in an agreement. Hearing the explanation, Jail and the others realized that the rules was extremely similar to the Startheft Bout, believed at this is most likely the prototype version of it. For unknown reasons, Schmelman did not gives Rihito any stars and told him that he would have to steal them from the other students within a day.
