Ryusei of the SRX team is piloting a simplified mass produced version of his own R-1, the R-Blade, and Latouni of the special tactics instruction squad is piloting the Wild Falken, the new unit from the ATX plan. Meanwhile, Archibold's DC forces send Yuki's squad to recover the prototype. Two of the members of his squad are Arado and Seolla, young pilots trained at a special institute called "The School". Latooni, who once attended the school herself, encounters Seolla on the battlefield.
