Chapter 48 - 48: Team Name

...

Sensing another scuffle about to erupt, franke quickly tries to separate the two, "g-guys! Please stop! Let's be civil!"

With franke, now trying to separate sawa and greta, from behind Anastasia Valeria whispers to her.

"Vote... poll... tell experience..."

As Valeria then quickly covers her face up while looking shy and aloof.

'Ah. I guess she wants me to take the lead then, fine. It's not like I wasn't secretly hoping something like this to happen anyways.'

Stepping forward towards the three.

"How about we do a Vote? Both me and my brother have experience fighting beast tanks already, and he was even tutored by one a commander of a team, so i vote him."

Hearing Anastasia speak up, the three in a scuffle halt their movements and turn to look at both of me.

"Hah? Do you two really have experience fighting beast tanks? You two look like you both just got your gears!"

With sawa first to speak up before being followed by greta.

"Yeah yeah! Don't lie sis, just because he's yer brother dosent mean you gotta support him."

Franke still trying to mediate follows up.

"Greta... I don't think thats what she was.... implying? Um... what unit? Does that commander that taught you from?"

'Oh. Shoot yeah. They never did tell me what unit they were... well that complicates things. We'll go big or go home I guess."

Shaking my head and stepping forward as johan, "that commander didn't really tell me what unit he was, but we were rescued by him and he even helped us get to and into this academy. He knows professor sophia quite a bit and she too helped us get into here."

With me telling a bit of our background, the girls starts looking at each other trying to discern if what I am saying is true or not.

With sawa thinking for a bit then continuing, "well... clearly because you are a guy. And somehow being able to wear that attire. So I guess it kinda makes sense. But either way! I will be the leader!"

Greta sighing as she then pokes sawa again, "oh really? Didn't you tell us that you have no experience being one?"

Humphing, sawa glares at greta, "it can't be THAT hard, and besides clearly im the better suited being the leader since you all are just blue and purple grade users!"

"Oh why you!"

With greta lunging forward before being held back by franke, "miss greta! Please! The proctor is right there!"

". . ."

Behind me I hear Valeria mutter something faintly, "Anastasia's gear is gold rating too..."

'Oh great... this team is as chaotic as the commander's... fun.'

Stepping forward as johan, "i say we do a vote, and as for why my sister wants me to be the commander i think I know why."

With greta smugly away from franke still holding back greta and turning to look at me, "oh? And why is that? Don't tell me it's because this a bro-con? Hah!"

'Yep, she's a sassy one alright.'

I continue, "its because your role, being a light tank. You would be in the front lines and mainly flanking around and causing distractions. Normally leaders and commanders stay at the back as overwatch issuring orders and commands."

"With you running around in the front lines, you most likely won't get the bigger picture or even get flustered trying to fight an enemy while trying to issue commands. Im not saying you can't do that but im saying that me, or greta being rear units will have a full scope of the battlefield and wil have an easier time relaying orders."

With franke, now letting go of greta the two look at each other, "you know... that actually makes sense."

Greta crossing her arms as she examines johan up and down, "huh, that actually dosen't sound too bad. From bro's explanation, it sounds like he's actually seen a battle before."

With sawa being silent, I continue, "so how about it? And besides we could always just change leaders if you guys don't find me good enough to be the leader."

Valeria, walking up next to Anastasia, nodding slightly, "i... agree with him as.... the leader..."

Franke, greta and sawa looking at Valeria then back to johan. Greta speaks up first, "alright let's give it a shot, let the bro be the leader for now. Better than sawa atleast."

Feeling targeted sawa exhales, "hah!?, im perfectly fine being thr leader!... but.. yeah ok he did make sense so. Fine. He'll be the leader for now."

Franke looking around at the group, takes out a piece of paper and pen from out of nowhere and starts writing our names down with johan being the leader written on it before looking up and tilting her head, "so... um... what's the team name going to be?"

Greta turning to look at johan with a smug grin, "well, leader? What will it be? It better not be as tacky as Blondie's golden whatever name."

As the two bicker, I fall into a deep thought trying to think of a name for our... frankly very chaotic and mismatched team.

With greta asking, "well? Any ideas?"

Shaking my head, I turn to them, "what about you guys?"

"It's definetly gotta be golden coin!" Sawa cutting infront of greta, with greta pushing back, "no! That's too tacky! What about Night raid? Ehh? Ehh? Sounds cool right?"

Shaking her head and clicking her tounge, sawa disagrees, "night raid? That's too edgy! And besides night raids are an actual thing! I don't want tobbe called night raids when we are eventually raiding beast tank camps in the night!"

With the two, bickering once more I turn to franke, "how about you franke? Any ideas?"

"Oh ah... um... how about Mechanisierte Mädchen?" Tilting her head somwwhat confusedly.

Shaking my head with a laugh, "dosen't that just mean mechanized girls in German? That's a bit too literal isn't it? Also im not a girl haha."

Realizing her mistake she reddens a bit, "oh... ah.. sorry.. I forgot..."

Then suddenly behind me a soft spoken voice somewhat mutters a name...
