[Kumamoto Prefecture proper] - 1130 hours

(While walking with his crew and Maho to eat out as they were trying to find Miho and her crew which was still sightseeing in the town, they soon found them by the town square)

"Ah there they are Miho!"

"Onee-chan! Onii-chan!" Miho replied

"Hello Miho, how have you been?" Maho asked

"I'm fine Onee-chan, so you've heard about Onii-chan already?"

(Maho nodded as an answer to her sister)

"Yeah he and Okaa-sama talked earlier that's how i got the wind of it" she stated

"Well the important thing is were back together so how about we go for lunch i'm starving also my treat!"

"Yay Food! Thanks a lot Jiro-san" Hana said

"Thank you Jiro-dono!" says Yukari

"Really Kommandant your gonna treat us?" asked Hans excitedly

"Well this is the first time the Kommandant treated us for lunch" added Werner

"Well yes and no I've treated Wilhelmina countless times when were dating" he said with a chuckle

"That's not counted you know, cause its only between the two of us"  Wilhelmina stated

"Wow Jiro-san is so romantic, I wish if find someone like that!" Saori said

(The group then entered a restaurant they each selected their own food with Jiro and his crew opting to go for a more western style lunch with Jiro and his crew eating more than the other girls except Wilhelmina who kept a more refined meal)

*Buuurp "Excuse me" all he said

"Jeez Onii-chan" said Miho

"Onii-sama did Okaa-sama thought you some manners?"

"Wow Jiro-dono you and Hans-dono and Werner-dono eat more food than Isuzu-dono combined!" Yukari commented

"Well in Germany we were training nearly everyday so once lunch or dinner came this 3 sure eat a lot there was 1 time when the restaurant that our team rented to celebrate a victory on a tournament the boys nearly ran the Restaurant dry of food" Wilhelmina commented with a chuckle which the 2 boys (Werner & Hans) Glared at her with Jiro just smiling sheepishly

"Well our instructor in Germany said that we should eat a bit more than our previous usual cause of our training" he stated

"What kind of training you undergo Onii-sama?" Maho asked

"Yeah you never told us what was your life at Germany Onii-chan?" Miho added

"Well during the first few years there my life in Germany wasn't the best at start it was always cold and dark for me as I have no people with me and making friends was easier said than done since I'm still adjusting and of course the language barrier"  he said with a saddened expression on his face

"We see sorry for asking Onii-sama if your are touchy on the subject" Maho said

"Oh its fine Maho-chan then after those few years I met Werner here, we were in the same section and he has a unprecedented love for tanks back then even now we immediately found a  common ground between us when the opening of Tankers was announced me and Werner was the first to sign-up although the school already knows I'll eventually join their Sensha-do team after I've adjusted then we met Hans who was merely a clumsy driver who couldn't do things the right and pristine way"  he said laughing

"Kommandant don't tell them of my embarrassments!" Hans said while getting red and a bit flustered

"Yeah it took about 4 months for me and the Kommandant here to condition Hans to the driver he is now" Werner said

"Our training in Germany was similar how they train the Bundeswehr with physical exercises and grueling training just how they train real soldiers since the program in the university is a fast track for you to join the German Army but that's only a optional choice of course and then Wilhelmina came the moment she introduced herself to be my gunner that day was something"

"Yeah when I saw the Kommandant I didn't expect to fall for him, at first I was just his gunner at first being a gunner was hard but the Kommandant gave me an offer to be personally trained by him and overtime we developed feelings for each other until he invited me to our first date which was too amusing" Wilhelmina said

"What happened Wilhelmina-san? asked Hana

"Well the Kommandant here got detained by the campus guards cause we returned to the campus at midnight which was a hour from lights out since they were very strict and they have curfew hours I managed to run back to my dorm but Jiro here was caught so he has to spend the night at the detainment center and do extra duties and get flak from the head instructor"

(The Group gave a all round Laughter at Jiro's and Wilhelmina's story)

(Soon the group dispersed with Maho going home while Jiro and his crew Miho and her crew went to the helicopter pad of Kuromorimine where a private Helicopter was waiting for them to take them back to Ooarai as the group were now saying their farewells Miho approached her brother)

*Hug

"Bye Onii-chan see you again"

"Yeah you too Miho-chan be safe now and call me if you need anything ok here's my contact information see you again alright take care of yourself now"

"I will don't worry Onii-chan bye bye"

"Bye Miho-chan have a safe trip back to Ooarai"

(Soon the Chopper took off taking Miho and her crew back to Ooarai, With Miho and her friends gone Jiro and his crew went back to their dorms to rest with Wilhelmina and Jiro conversing with one another while drinking some tea)

"So you up Wilhelmina to meet my mother?"

"Are you sure Jiro cause she might not like it"

"Oh you worry too much she won't bite and I'll be there to defend you" he replied cheerfully

"So when do you want us to meet your mother?"

"Dinner on our first day of training with Kuromorimine"

"I see ok then I hope your mother doesn't chew your sorry ass just cause of me being your girl" she said 

"Don't worry I won't be!" he said with a smile

Timeskip - 1st day of training

[Kuromorimine Sensha-do grounds]

(On the grounds was the Kuromorimine team in the front row was Sheska, Koume Akaboshi, Emi Kojima aka Retaiko, Geshiko, Sangou, Mauko, Bauer behind them was their respective crew and teammates of Kuromorimine in front of them was Maho and Erika doing their usual team briefing they suddenly heard engine noises)

*Vroom *Vroom

(In the distance could be seen the Leopard-2A7 heading towards them with its gun on a salute elevation on the cupola sits Jiro, they soon arrived on the group of Kuromorimine)

"KYAAA!" some of the girls reacted

*Wow *Sugoi  *Its Jager-sensei! *Its the Western Wolf!  most of the girls reacted

"Hello girls how are you all?"

"All good Jager-sensei were ready!" Reported Maho

"Alright first of my name is Eric Jager and I'll be your instructor for the week, behind me is my crew you three please introduce yourselves"

"I am Hans Schmidt I'm Herr Jager's driver!"

"The name is Werner Schneider I'm the loader ask me anything if you have concerns about the position"

"I'm Wilhelmina Brandt the gunner ask me anything but for a better teacher I recommend the Kommandant since I'm still being trained by him"

"Behind us is our Tank a Leopard-2A7 formerly the Command tank of the previous school, it was given to me by the school as a sign of gratitude, now before we start your training any questions?"

(One of the Kuromorimine girls rose their hands)

"Yes? Who might you be Fraulein?" [Young Lady?]

"My name is Bauer I'm a tank commander, can you tell how you come up fluid strategies in heated moments or when under pressure from a opposing force?"

(Bauer is a pink haired girl that wears a medical eyepatch)

 "Ah good question Bauer-kun, to cope with heated or pressure moments the best way to get yourself out of it is to stay calm and remain concentrated and focused on what's happening be vigilant and keep a good situational awareness of your surroundings that's how I usually do it, Anything else?"

(Bauer just nodded and back off to her line and no one else has a question)

"None alright we're gonna start your training today by doing a exercise how about a mock battle between you all and me and my crew?"

"Uh Jager-sensei you do know that we all operate WW2 tanks and you have a Main Battle Tank?" asked Erika

"Don't worry Itsumi-kun I'll give you all a handicap you all will be one team while I'm alone and we won't be using or would rely to our Modern accessories like the laser range finder, everything will be done Manually"

"Jager-sensei are you sure about this you are gonna go up against the entire team of Kuromorimine?" asked Maho worryingly as for her brothers sake

"Don't worry Maho-san we'll be fine we fought in this kind of situation before what was it again Wilhelmina?"

"When we went up against Eastern Force University our sister university in the eastern part of Germany where they utterly crushed our team except when were the last tank left operational against 10 tanks right Kommandant?"

"Yes 10 tanks against us imagine that first girls we were using a Leopard-1A5 and them was a mix of T-72's and T-55's we used the defensive tactics we nicknamed Festung [Fortress] we did ambushes left and right and to confused them it was a fun match their  Vice commander that time was a close friend of mine, and now he's overall commander"

"Well have your way then and don't think we'll be going easy for you Jager-sensei just because your our instructor" said Maho with a grin

"I don't expect to we all need to do our best in this practice and besides you'll get a experience you've never tried before"

"Very well then we'll be heading to our starting positions now i believe the same goes for you" said Erika

"Yes we'll be going now may the best tanker wins!"

(Soon the group left each other with the Kuromorimine girls all taking off to their starting positions)

"Alright Hans here's the plan you'll drive us to point F5 by Green sector got it on your HUD and be sure to get us there quickly we'll set up a ambush there" he ordered

"Jawhol Kommandant!" he answered back

"Werner were gonna need your specialty once again!"

"Jawhol! I'll load the shells faster!" Werner replied

"Frau Wilhelmina you'll have the honors doing the spotting since we'll be mostly engaging them from range tell me anything that's happening to our surroundings and remember what I thought you about Vigilance and Situational Awareness!"

"Jawohl!" she answered

(Soon the tank was in the forest within bushes and blending in with its woodland camouflage they immediately spotted the Kuromorimine formation of a column at a range of 1100 meters with the Tiger-II on the lead then the Tiger-I and the eight Panthers)

"Panzer entdeckt! Kommandant!" [Tank Spotted!] shouted Wilhemina She shouted as she looks through the gunners sight and aligning the reticle.

"Range 1100 meters this is easy"

"Shell geladen komandant!

"Feuer!"

"He's good he's gotten good than last time, as expected of Onii-sama" Maho said in her thoughts

(By this time another Panther got knocked out and Jiro's tank has already disengage by deploying smoke and heading to another ambush position)

"All tanks form up on me arrow formation we'll be pursuing that Leopard" she ordered

"Jawohl!" the other girls responded

(Soon they were in a open field heading to the hill in front of them but unbeknownst to them Jiro has already entrenched their tank on the hill and have spotted the Kuromorimine tank formation at the range of 2200 meters and have prepared the elevation and proper lead to aim for each distance)

"Here they come Werner, load the APFSDS shell now!"

"Jawohl! Shell geladen!" Werner replied.

"Feuer!"

*Bang

*Blaam

(The shell then travels hitting a Panther at a range of 1,980 meters immobilizing it immediately)

"Shell Geladen!" shouted Werner.

"Feuer!"

*Bang

*Blaam

(This time the shell hits another Panther taking it out in a instant, with 6 tanks left Maho manages to close the distance of their force to the hill with the Leopard now being in their tanks effective ranges)

"All tanks focus fire on that Leopard!" She ordered

"Yes Commander!" the girls responded

"Open Fire!" she shouted

*Bang

*Bang 

*Bang

*Bang

*Bang

*Bang 

(Goes the mix of the 5 75mm guns and the lone 88mm gun of Kuromorimines force with the shells landing close to the Leopard as Kuromorimine advances up the hill while stopping and firing and moving again and doing it as they try to close the distance between them and the Leopard)

(With 4 tanks left Jiro then pondered a bit and thought of something to make things more exciting)

"Alright guys lets make this a bit more interesting Hans be ready you too Werner, Wilhelmina keep up with the spotting!"

"Jawohl!" they all responded

"Nishizumi Style: Taifun" [Typhoon] he suddenly said which confused his crew

"Kommandant?" asked Wilhelmina

"Kommandant were gonna go on the offensive are we?" added Werner

"Ahahaha! how did you know Werner?"

"Operation Taifun the offensive or known as the Battle for Moscow was the Operational German name for it don't get me wrong Kommandant you really are a German already" he said laughing 

"Well we are were make a push Verstanden!"

"Jawohl!" his crew responded

"Hans drive us between those three Panthers we'll spare the Tiger for last!"

"Jawohl!" Hans responded as he started to move the Leopard between the three Panthers

"Werner Speedy reload!"

"Jawohl!"

(Soon the Leopard was about 150 meters from the Panthers)

"Shell loaded!" said one of the Panther loaders

"Fire!" shouted the Panther commander

"Shell Geladen!" he shouted

"Feuer!"

(Goes the 120mm gun disabling the Panther immediately with 1 Panther and Maho's tank left)

"Koume you try to distract the Leopard I'll go in and try to knock him out" Maho ordered

"Yes Commander!" Koume responded

"Hans that Panther is gonna try to distract us get us besides it we'll use it as cover!"

"Jawohl!"

(Soon the Leopard was besides the Panther using it as cover from the Tiger-I)

"Shell Geladen!" shouted Werner

"Feuer!"

*Bang

*Claank

(Immediately as the Leopard fires its 120mm gun knocking out the Panther in one clean shot and immediately moving to the Tiger)

"Tiger-I left Kommandant whats your plan?" asked Wilhelmina

"Hans get us close were gonna put the finishing shot to it"

"Jawohl!" he responded

(Soon the tank was about 20 meters from each other with the Leopard gunning for the side of the Tiger)

"Shell Loaded!" shouted the Tiger-I loader

"Fire!" shouted Maho

*Bang

*Claank 

(The 88mm shell immediately hit the Leopards angled front bouncing off as that happened the Tiger was maneuvering trying to keep its strongest part of armor to the front but Maho knows that's pointless already due to the Leopard having a superior cannon with more Modern ammunition)

"Shell Geladen!"

"Feuer!" 

*Bang

*Blaam

(With the Tiger-I knocked everyone climbed out of their tanks and started on vehicle recovery while Jiro and his crew made way to Maho's knocked out Tiger-I)

"Well done Maho-san you gave me a good run for my money you nearly got me there"

"Yeah it can be said but due to your tank being more advance and superior than ours from the start of the mock battle I know we wouldn't against you Jager-sensei. she said

"Yes but you still can win, Practice harder and become better than me i know someday you'll surpass me Maho-san"

"That might be true Jager-sensei" she said as she extend her hand to do a handshake with her brother 

"Good Tanking there Maho-chan I know your better than me just need to work harder to best me" he whispered as they shook hands

"Oh by the way I'll visit the house later to have dinner and i'll be bringing someone" he said

"Oh is it your Girl?" Maho asked in a teasing smile

"M-Maho-chan shh not here please don't tease"  he cried

"Calm down Onii-sama I won't be spreading it"

"I'll introduce you later ok"

"Sure ok Onii-sama" she replied

[Kuromorimine Tank Garage]

"Good work everyone I know you might think that Mock battle is one sided and Unfair well you are wrong I didn't used any of the more Modern components of the Tank like the guided aiming system all I did was manual aim, and I know you can surpass me by training harder and becoming better at your skills so next time we meet you might beat me that is all for today Dismiss!"

"Thank you very much Jager-sensei!" they all shouted

(Soon Jiro and Wilhelmina was making their way to the Nishizumi Manor which Jiro hasn't seen for about 12 years of his life already and he was getting all the Nostalgia from it)

[Nishizumi Manor]

"So Jiro this is your family house I got to say its huge I've noticed your feeling nostalgic are you?" said Wilhelmina

"Yeah your right I guess I can't hide that fact I haven't seen this place for 12 years"

"As expected of you, looks like your sister and mother are expecting us out here"

(As she said that on the front porch of the house was Shiho with Maho waiting for them)

"Okaeri Onii-sama" Maho greeted as they were face to face together

"Okaeri Jiro" Shiho said as she hugged her son

"Tadaima Oka-san, Maho-chan" she replied

(Soon Shiho and Maho noticed Wilhelmina she then bowed as a show of respect to the Headmistress of the school and the Mother of her boyfriend)

"Its a pleasure to meet you madam Nishizumi" she said as she bowed

"Ah nice to meet you Wilhelmina-san I believe you are Jiro's girlfriend?"

"Eh?.. How did you know Oka-san? he asked

"Jiro I am your mother, I realize things before you even do and I know by experience, that when you bring a girl to your home to meet your parents usually indicates your in a relationship with her and also Maho told me about earlier" she said

"That's right Onii-sama you think you'll get away with Okaa-sama" Maho said with a grin

"Eh? Your no fun Maho-chan!" he cried

"Nice to meet you Wilhelmina-san I hope my son has taken good care of you?" she asked

"Yes he takes good care of me ma'am" she responded

"Good because if not I would have scolded him about how to treat your girl properly" she said as she sent a scary glare at Jiro which sent chills to his spine

"Please no Oka-san I just got home and that's your welcome home gift to me?"

"You think just because you left for Germany you get off easy think again Jiro and your still my son" she said with another Scary Glare

"Y-Yes Oka-san!"

"Well come inside now dinner is ready you both must be tired and hungry come in and join us and Wilhelmina-san"

"Yes ma'am" she answered

*Hug

"Welcome to the family"

"Thank you very much madam Nishizumi" she replied

(Soon they were eating dinner about an hour of a little bit of bonding later they retreated to their rooms with Wilhelmina rooming with Jiro since he has two beds on his room the other being a folding bed, Wilhelmina was out cold already while Jiro was still up by the Balcony he then receive a call from his old headmaster from Germany which confused him, but he answered the call anyway)

"Yes Headmaster can I help you?"

"Ah yes Herr Jager, But first how's Japan?" he asked

"Its eventful headmaster manage to reunite with my family already currently visiting Kuromorimine, but why did you call?"

"There's a bit of change happening Herr Jager I was on a meeting earlier with the Western Tankery Association and they've talked with Japan's Sensha-do Federation about the Notion for Male applicants and they've approved it" he announced 

(This caught Jiro off guard as he was not expecting this news) 

"Ok I'm listening anything else Headmaster?"

"Yes The Association and the Japanese Federation has come to terms of doing a joint tournament where schools from Europe and the United States and Canada will choose a Japanese school and send a contingent force or funding to support the said school/schools for the Joint Tournament"

"Ok what school did you chose to support Headmaster?"

"We've chosen Kuromorimine and since your there we've chosen you as captain for our team and your second in command is the current Kommandant of our team I'll send you a Email later concerning the list of schools being supported by our fellow European schools this has become a good game changer for Japan's Tankery Program" he said

"Indeed that's great news I'll be waiting later for the Email thank you very much Headmaster may I ask when is this?"

"A month from now they're just preparing the material and money and area for the tournament and the different game modes they'll be using in coordination of the WTA and the Japanese Sensha-do Federation I think giving you this news early on will be better cause your already situated there and I talked with the Federation regarding your visits, to suspend them until further notice so we could have you preparing for the month long tournament this is exciting isn't it Herr Jager"

"I can agree Headmaster thanks for telling have you notified the Headmistress of Kuromorimine already?"

"Not yet may you do the honors please she is your mother anyways I'll be calling again sometime later to notify you our team composition and I'll have the Email sent to you a little later talk to you again Herr Jager"

"Thank you headmaster talk to you again"

(Soon Jiro went to bed to rest the night as he was already exhausted and a bit excited to tell his mother of the news so he went to sleep)
