    It might. I just can't remember exactly what episode it was from. He was being a pervert, wasn't he?
    Koujirou and Setsuna were rather surprised when they entered the sim, to find that only Sandra was there. She waved them over.
    "Have you seen Shuri or Anna? I thought that they were with you."
    Koujirou began to answer-
    -"DODGE!"-
    -and was promptly tossed away.
    "Hiya maggots!" Shuri called out with unusual enthusiasm. "Welcome to our boot camp, where I get to kick your sorry asses around and get praised for it."
    "So long as you don't go too far." Anna was suddenly standing next to them.
    Sandra looked at the oddly, almost freakishly chipper Ace. Then at Anna, who was bent over Koujirou. "Right, have fun gotta run-"
    Shuri gave her a look. "Yeah, you aren't going anywhere-" She paused, casually tossing aside a charging Koujirou. "-when even coke-boy is willing to try."
    "But-"
    "You could come cuddle with me, instead."
    ...
    ...
    ...
    The other four valkyrie pilots turned, as one, to stare at Anna.
    "Her hair looks soft and fluffy."
    ...
    "Right. Where were we, Shuri?"
    The three non ridiculously powerful valks (not counting bullshit protagonist powers) reassured themselves that, with Anna there, they probably wouldn't get hurt too badly. Then Shuri aimed what seemed to be every weapon ever at them.
    "Dodge!"
    -----------------------------------------------------
    Shuri grinned, pleased at the (simulated. mostly) destruction she was causing. "I came here for business, but never knew it could be so fun!"
    "Just be careful," Anna added, "when it comes to seeing them hurt, I'd rather eat more buns." She emphasized this by using her bullshit valk skills to take out what would have been one attack too far. Without touching the several thousand in between it and her.
    "Bah." Shuri exclaimed, apparently relate to a very rich duck. "Hey you lot, listen up!"

    Her erstwhile targets cautiously peeked out from their individual craters.
    "You're the saddest bunch I ever met, but you can bet that before we're through, I'll make Aces out of you!"
    "Hey, that's actually pretty heartwarming and-"
    "Dodge!"
    "Ack!"

    Anna watched for a time, then opened communications. "Koujirou, Setsuna, listen up. You're losing control too easily. Look at Sandra. She's as tranquil as a forest-"
    She did seem pretty composed (also, pretty, but shipping later).
    "-but on fire within."
    Sandra abruptly returned fire with vigor, forcing Shuri to let up on the others. Anna made a note of this (dammit, why does everything I write turn into shipping and crack?).
    "She has found her center. Do so for yourselves and you might just-"
    "Dodge, I say! You're a spineless, pale, pathetic lot, an idiot, a brat, and a shrew-damn, I still need to make Aces out of you!" Shuri promptly manifested yet more weapons.

    "I'm never gonna catch my breath!" Sandra muttered, somehow speaking without the use of said breath.
    "Say goodbye to those who knew me." Setsuna was grim.
    "Boy, was I a fool in school for cutting gym!" Our hero, ladies and gentlemen!
    "Is it possible for them to be scared to death?" Anna ran a google search(yes, google still exists. It's google) "huh."
    "Hope she doesn't see right through this!" Koujirou said briefly before Shuri knocked him out of the sky.
    "Now I really wish that this was a less realistic siiiim! Ow!"

    Unbeknownst to the pilots, the Valkyries themselves were singing.
    "Be an Ace!
    You must be swift as Anna running away from bread!
    Be an Ace!
    With all the force of a thousand type twos!
    Be an Ace!
    With all the strength of a wave force megaweapon!
    Mysterious as the far side of a breach!"

    Shuri descended on the three very much exhausted cadets.
    "Time is racing towards us, until graduation arrives, now do your best to-survive! Dodge!"
    Kojirou was once again summarily tossed aside.
    "You're unsuited for the rage of war"
    Setsuna unleashed a volley, which Shuri all but walked by.
    "You lack follow through!"
    Sandra panted, all but unable to move.
    "How will I make an Ace out of you?"

    "Be an Ace! You must be swift as Anna running away from bread!"
    Sandra grinned-
    "Be an Ace! With all the force of a thousand type twos!"
    -and promptly fired off all her missiles at once.
    "With all the strength of a wave force megaweapon!"
    Shuri barely dodged-right into Setsuna's own volley.
    "Mysterious as the far side of a breach!"
    Which was Kojirou's cue to charge, blade held high.

    "Be an Ace!
    You must be swift as Anna running away from bread!
    Be an Ace!
    With all the force of a thousand type twos!

    The smoke cleared. Anna cocked her head.
    "Huh."

    • "Are you alright Yukari? Want to finish for the day?"​

    No one but a Valkyrie understood how hard it was to become an ace. It could even be said that they didn't understand hard work. People would look at first year students working themselves to the bone and wonder how they could keep that up for the length of the course; a final year student would wonder if they ever took it that easily.


    You had misread your charge; she was not some recruit with talent that needed a chaperone. Reading what little you had been granted access to on the flight had made it clear why the academy was so eager to put their best foot forward. What was less clear was why this hadn't been done years ago.

    "No, let's do it again"​

    The key to becoming an ace rather than a mere elite was sync hours, the more that had been clocked the longer a pilot could keep the frame extended and the more their Valkyrie had affected them, crucially it would improve how they dealt with less sleep better. It was an exponential curve that steadily separated people who had once nearly been equals.


    An orphaned first generation Valkyrie? One who would not have the meagre academy years to train and develop but had likely been doing it for years already. Could there be anyone in the room let alone the flight better suited for your request?

    "Can I then ask you to- to take care of these two, or at least, stay with them long enough to teach them to take care of themselves?"

    "Sure, why did you change your equipment anyway?"​

    It had been estimated once that it took ten thousand hours of practice to become world class at something. Achieving this over the course of the academy meant around 9 hours a day of practice was required every day. The problem with that figure however is that it is in comparison to others. Therefore if many people manage it, it's no longer enough to stand out. Now those were the elites and the aces had to have put fourteen or sixteen hours a day into training.


    Setsunas covering fire was blanketing the area, but all you could focus on was your last attack. The lightning bolt arced away from its target. The first time Raitei had ever failed with that much charge. "Last night was practically a Missile Defence or Zero Suppression scenari,"
    'A pacifist type zero' was all that you could think. How high above elites where aces? And how high above them was Anna?

    "Got to keep up with the squad I'm overseeing"​

    The logical extreme of this where the rumours that flitted around occasionally that Aces would pull massive amounts of food and drink into their frames so they could patrol for weeks or even months without needing to stop. You where dubious of these, it's hard to believe an ace would ever willingly trade precious complexity or weapons mass for the ability to get in more fights over a longer time. It was important for a Valkyrie to bring their A game to every fight, after all, the first fight they didn't might be the time a type 18 ambushes them.

    "The first years?" "Oh, you've got that flight" "…" laughter

    If only they knew.​
    Had this idea since the first Shuri omake, could never make it good, realised that if I don't get something down I never will, please tell me how to make it good.
    Too many different ideas and nothing really tying them together I think.

    • A Yukari omake, huh? Well, since nothing really happened in terms of events, I'm going to guess that you were trying to flesh out more of Yukari's character?

    The biggest problem I see is that you spent like half the omake talking about how much hard work it would take to become a strong Valkyrie. And if that was your end goal, then that's fine...but it doesn't have a lot of entertainment value, you know? I mean, I took the idea to an excessive degree with my Setsuna snip where she went insane trying to become stronger; and you don't have to do that. But if you want to focus your omake on Yukari instead of just an excerpt on hard work, you need to dive into how Yukari feels. How she thinks. And if you don't know, then you take what you do know and make inferences.

    But I guess the most important bit is - what were you trying to do with the omake? What did you want to get out of it?

    This is a series where the Big Sis character... isn't necessarily the most battle-savvy person in the cast.
    As they say about genius, "10% inspiration, 90% perspiration".
    Well done, Dark as Silver.

    I can easily see Yukari putting in the extra hours to catch up with the best of the Elites, all that hard work would eventually pay off. Then again, it's not that Anna didn't have hard work on her side.

    Oh no. She worked quite hard, alone, in the middle of the Alaskan mountains, using only mundane (later on, salvaged) weaponry. A genius of hard work, some might call it.

    It still wasn't enough to save her town, sadly.
