## Description
100 years after the world was nearly destroyed during World War III...
Cutting-edge technology saved the planet from a nuclear winter, allowing its population to reach the tens of billions once more.
This eventually gave rise to a new ultimate military technology, the Gauntlet.
People who wore these on their left arms were called Gauntlet Knights, and without carrying any additional equipment, they could use this unrivaled power to fly like fighter planes, fight like aircraft carriers and battleships, and repel all sorts of attacks like tanks.
Children all over the world were fascinated by this new kind of hero.
However, because Gauntlets could only be used by those who had particular talents and underwent special training from a very young age, not even 150,000 people from across the world could control them, even if you counted preschoolers. And the number of people who actually earned the title of Gauntlet Knight was even smaller.
In other words, it was becoming an era where all existing military forces would be obsolete, and where the military might of the world would be measured by the small number of boys and girls who could use Gauntlets...

After competing against each other in the International Battle Standard Festival, a group of Gauntlet Knights from all over the world became fast friends, swearing to support the walls of peace from both sides and prevent another World War from ever occurring. However, World War IV was steadily approaching, like a line of falling dominos...
The young are supposed to be the main characters in their own eras.

But in reality, they're nothing but game pieces lined up on the board of those who are crafty and more experienced.
Must these boys and girls be forced to kill each other as pieces?
Who are the pieces, and who are the players? And who does the players' bidding?
What victory conditions does each person have? Is it peace? War? Annihilation?
Is the foretold tragedy a scheme or a delusion, the future or reality?
No.
There is no need to resist this tragedy.
The job of a game piece is to dance about within the tragedy's grasp.
What are the rules of the game, you ask? How hard is it? That's for us to decide, so it's none of your concern.
All you people need to do is take pieces and get taken yourselves, entertaining us with the range of your emotions.
Are you listening? You don't want to misunderstand your position.

You aren't my opponent. You're merely a piece that exists for my amusement.
In this next game, I won't give you the privilege of being a player!

## Characters
### Mitake Miyao (御岳 都雄)
From AOU Japan.

A member of the 0017th Aerial Augmented Infantry Squad "Warcat" of the AOU Combined Military Central HQ.

The current world record holder for highest P3 level measurements. His overwhelming score far surpassed second place.

Current Gauntlet engineering is unable to make use of most of his P3 potential, so he's currently in a state where his talent has outstripped technology.

Because of his unique level of ability, the AOU Next Generation Genetic Research Center and the AOU Joint Parliament have budgeted $100,000,000 towards his genetic analysis.

### Chloe Ironside (クロエ・アイアンサイド)
From AOU Canada.

A member of the 100th Aerial Augmented Infantry Experimental Squad "Grave Mole", of the AOU Combined Military Geroy Level 4 Heavy Military Research Center.

She was chosen for the Selective Training Course, but her grades were slow to improve, and she lost confidence in herself. Her grades tended to be particularly bad when working with groups, and an excessively low level of self-empowerment was diagnosed as the cause.

Currently, she takes part in counseling and mental power correction research at the Geroy Level 4 Heavy Military Research Center.

Partly because of her results there, she's now known as one of the most capable Gauntlet Knights in North America.

### Gunhild Gustafsson (ギュンヒルド・グスタフソン)
From AOU Sweden.

A member of the 0017th Aerial Augmented Infantry Squad "Warcat" of the AOU Combined Military Central HQ

During her 3-year-old childhood health examination, she had average P3 levels, so she was removed from the Selective Training Course. However, thanks to Acquired PP Training she took later on, her levels rose dramatically.

Though she was selected as a candidate at the extremely late age of 12, the growth of her mental power didn't stop there, and she became Northern Europe's top ace thanks to effort, rather than talent.

The AOU Combined Military's Aerial Augmented Infantry Command Center granted her the position of Counselor's Special Assistant, with the right to speak at the Research Development Council for PP Training Methods.

### Jayden (ジェイデン)
From AOU America

A member of the 0017th Aerial Augmented Infantry Squad "Warcat" of the AOU Combined Military Central HQ

Despite being an NPP, he made it into the top three in the AOU America Combined P3 Examination, which was completely dominated by CPPs.

In subsequent examinations, it was discovered that the chemicals produced in his brain and their receptors exhibited abnormal behavior. The AOU America Advanced Research Facility for National Defense determined that this was an extremely rare mental power, one that was neither superior nor inferior to CPPs, and they designated him as a special research subject.

However, following an incident where he drew indecent pictures with colored smoke over Florida while practicing for a flying exhibition, he has been permanently banned from flying over America itself.

From AOU Russia.

She is currently serving time as a Class 1 Criminal (her crime is not public knowledge), but has been allowed to leave in exchange for volunteering as a research subject at the Geroy Level 4 Heavy Military Research Center.

That research center and the Russian government have not publicly released details concerning her mental capacity, so her talent and potential are unknown.

The range of her P3 level varies widely and is unstable. However, though it's unofficial and only happened once, she has supposedly surpassed the highest P3 level measurements of Miyao, the world record holder, by a considerable margin.

### Lilja Viljakainen (リリャ・ヴィリヤカイネン)
From AOU Finland.

A member of the 100th Aerial Augmented Infantry Experimental Squad "Grave Mole", of the AOU Combined Military Geroy Level 4 Heavy Military Research Center.

She is currently serving time as a Class 1 Criminal (her crime is not public knowledge), but has been allowed to leave in exchange for volunteering as a research subject at the Geroy Level 4 Heavy Military Research Center.

Her grades at the Suomenlinna Aerial Augmented Infantry School before her arrest were incredible, and her records at that school still haven't been broken.

Large changes have been noticed in her personality and character since her imprisonment, and some sort of experiment at the research center is rumored to be the cause.

### Abdou (アブドゥ)
From ACR Senegal

A member of the June 1st King's Tour Memorial Squad of the ACR Royal Aerial Knight Corps

Because of a streak of bad luck, he was kicked out of the elite course despite having considerable Aerial Augmented Infantry talent.

Ishak recognized his talent and recommended him for the Aerial Knights. Rethabile took a liking to him, which brings us to the present day.

His P3 level measurements are very unstable, but many people call him a diamond in the rough, who stands out more and more the longer he trains.

### Andry (アンドリー)
From COU Madagascar

A member of the 301st Aerial Augmented Infantry squad "Suparna" of the COU Combined Military Central General Corps, First Branch

Supposedly, the reason he wasn't discovered by the national exams was because he likes to slack off, and he wasn't at school on the day of the exam.

Even though enrollment into the Aerial Augmented Infantry course usually starts at preschool, he began at age 13, becoming the latest-blooming ace on the planet, as well as the person who reached this position in the shortest period of time.

### Aysha (アイシャ)
From COU Indonesia

A member of the Imperial Guard Aerial Augmented Infantry Squad "Baibao" of the COU Combined Military HQ

As a trainee, she was praised for being a hard worker and a model student, but her innate talent was judged to be below average. Later, she volunteered to be sent to the Kunlun Military Research City as a test subject.

As a result of their research, they discovered that she was immensely talented at observing airspaces using 8MS, and she made a comeback as an Aerial Augmented Infantry soldier focusing on specialized techniques for observation and detection.

Furthermore, she later achieved good marks on compatibility tests with Lingji, and was promoted quickly through the ranks to land in Baibao Squad. She would then become the ideal supporter to bolster that squad's efforts.

Though none of his aptitudes are ace-class, the history of how he won through with hard work and fighting spirit is simply amazing.

With his flawless performance both in martial arts and studying, as well as the courtly manners he developed, he's often thought of as the Aerial Knight directly serving the Royal Family who best exemplifies that role.

When she formed a rotte with Valentina, it was thought that her power would finally be revealed, but she's only gotten so-so scores so far. She remains an unknown quantity.

### Momotake (百武)
From COU Japan

A member of the Imperial Guard Aerial Augmented Infantry Squad "Baibao" of the COU Combined Military HQ

He was assigned to Baibao Squad, where -- for the sake of providing support to the COU's Queen of Aerial Augmented Infantry, Lingji -- teamwork and communication were more highly valued than high P3 levels.

Simply going by his numerical measurements, it would be hard to call him the best candidate, but it was determined that he was the wingman most capable of maximizing Lingji's potential.

Even so, he is now the Naha Aerial Augmented Infantry School's biggest hero since its establishment, and they recently held an unveiling ceremony for a bronze statue of him.

Despite her horrible grades when she first entered the ACR Egypt Aerial Knight Corps, she eventually became the unshakable top scorer.

The mental concentration techniques she says were passed down to her from her ancestors are now compulsory for Aerial Knight Corps across the ACR.

He's a person of the old era, who dreamed of becoming a warrior of peace, entered the military, and honed his skills with sweat both on his body and in his heart. So, he had a hard time accepting that the main characters in the next era of warfare would be brats with top-secret machines on their left arms, who only needed natural-born instincts and not a whole lot of hard work.

He has enough knowledge of the Aerial Augmented Infantry to serve as an instructor. However, there's no denying that his inability to use a Gauntlet gives him an inferiority complex when training young students.

### Rethabile Eenentwintig Africacommonwealthrealm (リーテバイル・イエネントウェンタ・アフリカーコモンウェルスレルム)
From ACR South Africa

A member of the June 1st King's Tour Memorial Squad of the ACR Royal Aerial Knight Corps

A princess from the ACR Royal Family and the 21st in line to the throne. All of the Royal Family's princes and princesses are supposedly talented Gauntlet Knights with extremely high P3 levels, but she's the only one who has been seen flying in the public eye.

Since she displays genius-class P3 levels, has been given the best of educations since infancy, and has the aptitude of an Aerial Augmented Infantry prodigy, many call her the strongest ace in the southern hemisphere.

### Rukhshana (ルクシャーナ)
From COU Saudi Arabia

A member of the 301st Aerial Augmented Infantry squad "Suparna" of the COU Combined Military Central General Corps, First Branch

In her home country, only men attended Aerial Augmented Infantry schools, but her P3 levels were so high that the king commanded that she be given a special exception.

Her personality isn't suited for being in the Aerial Augmented Infantry, but she earns top grades in all forms of training. Her simulator grades are the best in the COU-controlled section of the Middle East.

Her non-confrontational personality and tendency to focus on defense are thought to be signs that she best embodies the soldier who protects peace, so she is very highly regarded.

She's a former idol originally from a caravan, which traveled to elementary schools all over the ABN, recruiting volunteers for Monasteries of Peace.

Her P3 levels are not public knowledge, but in videos taken by the caravan, she achieved world-class marks, though they came with the warning that this was just a preliminary measurement.

There was an event where 20 idols were allowed to join the caravan for a trial period, but except for her, none of them showed up in later videos.

### Sujatha (スジャータ)
From COU India

A member of the 301st Aerial Augmented Infantry squad "Suparna" of the COU Combined Military Central General Corps, First Branch

During her newborn mental evaluation, she was recognized as a National Special Growth Target, and she also graduated from an Aerial Augmented Infantry officer's school with grades well ahead of the pack.

However, it was recently discovered that she had a flaw, whereby her P3 levels would become unstable while under particular kinds of stress.

Now, in order to help her overcome this flaw, a research team has begun offering her support.

She's incredibly strait-laced and is always putting herself under high-stress conditions, so her support team is always recommending that she rest or find a hobby.

### Valentina (ヴァレンティナ)
From LATO Brazil

A member of the Healthy Military Balance Oversight Committee of the International Peace Mediation Association Military

Her P3 levels and Aerial Augmented Infantry aptitude are high, and it's estimated that she's able to wield considerable power using her personally customized Gauntlet, which is a signature of LATO. However, her true ability is unknown.

Nonetheless, according to the profile of her made public by the authorities, she has dominated in South America's endurance combat flying division.

Anyone can display explosive power for an instant, but the endurance division requires not only physical and mental strength, but also an understanding of Energy-Maneuverability Theory. This suggests that she's not only a genius, but has also undergone elite education and training.
