Hello everyone! Got a new story ready to go!

To be honest, when Infinite Stratos first came out I brushed past it thinking it was going to be typical Harem mush that everyone was going to forget about in three years. My god I had no idea how much I would love the series. I had decided to read the manga a few days ago on a simple whim and blew right through it, and then some spin off manga, and then the anime, and now I'm working on reading the light novels. It was a good week for me.

So, with my new found love for the series I thought "What could be better than writing a story with these characters" and BAM! I had pumped out three chapters.

I hope you all enjoy reading the story!

"Everyone's here, right? Then let's start the SHR" vice homeroom teacher, Maya Yamada, said with an earnest smile as she stood at the front of the class. On the black board behind her was written her name.

She had a petite figure and if it weren't for her introducing herself as a teacher Naruto would've have easily mistook her for student. Her green hair reached just past her chin that went nicely with her olive green eyes that lay just behind her glasses.

"Then everyone, let's get along with each over the next year~" Yamada said, only to be meet with an awkward silence as nobody reacted. Quickly moving on with a slight panic "Now, let's move onto self-introductions. Mm, we'll go by seating arrangements".

As for one student seated in the middle of the front row he couldn't seem to wipe away the sour look on his face as he half listened to the teacher.

This wasn't how it was suppose to go. He was suppose to have enrolled at some average high school, get descent grades, and then spent his free time training. So how did he end up in an all girl's boarding school? Well, he knew how, but still.

The IS Academy is, as its name suggested, an educational corporation meant to nurture IS operators. The Japanese government sees it as a principle duty to fund it and run it. However, the results of the research are revealed to the entire world due to the common agreement, and at the same time, Japan has no right to either remain silent or hide them. No matter what happens in this school, the Japanese government has to intervene fairly, and has the obligation of settling these matters under the premise that all the countries in the treaty have agreed upon. Also, the school has opened its doors to foreign students without any conditions, and the Japanese government is to provide protection—as accorded to the contents of the IS treaty regarding IS pilot training agencies.

'I can feel them staring at me' the blond thought to himself, behind him the many eyes of his classmates were locked onto him. Glancing over to the window he found the only familiar face here in the form of his childhood friend Houki Shinonono though despite his leading look the girl turned her head away irritably, pretending to look outside. For not seeing each other in six years he was certainty receiving a cold reception.

"... Naruto Orimura" Yamada's voice finally broke through the blond's thoughts.

Unprepared for the attention Naruto quickly replied with a stuttered "Y-Yes". Unsurprisingly a few snickers and giggles from behind him soon followed.

"W-well, I'm sorry for calling you out so loudly. Did I startle you? Sorry-sorry! But, the self-introductions... we started from A, and now we're at O for Orimura now. So, pl-please, could you introduce yourself? Co-could you?" vice homeroom teacher Yamada asked, bowed politely. However, the bowing caused her spectacles to slide forward.

"Ah, P-Please, there's no need to apologize" Naruto told the woman, his hands coming up as he gave her a sheepish grin. "It's just introductions, so please calm down Maya-sensei" the blond told her, however the use of her first name lit Yamada's face up like a tomato. "Eh! Sorry... Yamada-sensei..." Naruto apologized, an ever so faint blush on his own cheeks. It was just so easy for him to forget that in Japan a person doesn't usually use the first name of someone they just met, he had the same prolem when he first went to middle school.

"N-No! It's fi-fine Orimura" Yamada told the boy as her arms waved around in front of her. "I-I-If you want to call me M-Maya-sensei then... I guess I don't mind" the flustered woman told him as she regained control of her arms, bringing them to a stop over her chest. Even if it was just her student she'd never had a guy call her by her first name.

"He, right, Maya-sensei" Naruto said with an easier smile. Though, while being able to use the teacher's first name helped his nerves a bit it seems that it also garnered him unwanted attention as he felt the stares even more intensively then before. His introduction should be enough to take their minds off of it and so he coughed into his hand before standing up.

With his back to the rest of the class Naruto began, "My name is Naruto Orimura". Just as he could feel his classmates pleading for more information Naruto stepped out from his desk and turned to face everyone. "I hadn't planned on coming to IS academy but I promise to give it my all while I'm here!" the blond announced, ending with a wide grin and a thumb poking into his chest. At first he couldn't tell if he' messed up or not since everyone remained silent as they stared at him but just as he was about to mark it as such the classroom irrupted in excited cheers.

A bigger reaction than he anticipated but at least he didn't make a fool of himself. Before he could thoroughly enjoy this moment though a quick, hard wack to his head brought him back down from this momentary high. Kneeling down ever so slightly Naruto's hands shot up to his scalp to rub the impact zone as he muttered 'Ow' over and over.

As he tended to his injury a jolt of recognition spread through his mind. This way of hitting, he knew exactly who it belonged too. "Causing a commotion already I see" a suitably deep voice said as the blond turned around to see his assailant. Black tight fitting skirt, tall and slim, the body line of someone who doesn't look muscular even after lots of training, that long black hair, and those stern eyes.

"Chifuyu-nee! What th-Guah" Naruto was in the middle of asking his dear older sister when she added a second wack with the student itinerary she was carrying.

"Call me Orimura-sensei" Chifuyu told him.

"Chifu-" the blond was saying when a third hit cut him off accompanied by a harsh look from he woman. After rubbing his head again Naruto tried to give the most determined look he could given the situation as he spoke to her again, "I don't care how many times you hit me, I'm not going to call you Orimura-sensei". Normally it was simply just easier to go along with whatever his big sister said but he'd be damned if he had to start calling her by her last name. He refused to budge on this.

For a moment the pair just stared at one another as the class watched on, either too stunned or too scared to intervene. Even despite most of the students being excited beyond believe to be in THE Chifuyu Orimura's presence couldn't find it in themselves to speak in this situation.

Eventually Chifuyu let out a sigh as her eyes closed. She knew that look, it was the look he'd always give her when he meant what he said. "Sensei" the woman said. After a confused "Eh?" from the blond she clarified. "Call me Chifuyu-sensei" Chifuyu told him, if she had to smack him every time he refused to call her Orimura-sensei they'd never get class started.

With a big grin Naruto told her "Sure thing, Chifuyu-sensei!" before receiving another wack from the student itinerary.

"Now get back to your seat" Chifuyu told him to which the blond did despite his muttering something along the lines of a 'devil in human form'.

"Eh...? Then, it means that Orimura is Chifuyu-sama's younger brother...?"

"Maybe that has something to do with him being the only guy in the world that can use the IS?"

"Ah~ Great. I really wanted to switch him over".

Naruto heard a few of his classmates say as he sat down. To say that he and Chifuyu were siblings wasn't entirely true. They were related, just not to that extent. Naruto's father was Chifuyu's uncle and after the events that took place on the day of his birth he was but under the care of his aunt and ultimately Chifuyu after her parents abandoned them.

Amidst the revived excitement of the room Naruto could feel a new set of eyes on him. Turning his sight back to the window to see Houki staring at him. Just as he was wondering what was on her mind the bell ran.

"Alright! SHR is over. Everyone will memorize the core knowledge of the IS in half a month! After that, we'll begin the real IS training, so make sure to get down the basic maneuvers in half a month. Understand? If you understand, respond, even if you don't understand respond. Just respond to whatever I say" Chifuyu instructed the class.

'Geez, harsh from the very beginning aren't you' Naruto thought to himself after hearing her say that. For most people what she just demanded would be insane but that's just the type of person Chifuyu was. This person who Naruto called his big sister was the first generation IS pilot that represented Japan and was undefeated in an actual match. However, one day, she announced her retirement and disappeared.

The first theory class for IS had come and gone and now it was time for their first break. Even so, Naruto was finding it hard to relax. From all directions he could see girls watching him and whispering among themselves. Out in the corridor were even more girls from the other classes and even second and third year students had gathered outside the classroom.

He could understand their curiosity, as the only guy in the world to activate an IS he'd been all over the news even before he enrolled here. It was also safe to assume that most of the girls attending IS academy had very little to no personal experience with guys their ow age. This was in great part due to the only schools to supply supplementary lessons about the IS where all girls schools.

As for what exactly an IS is, well to begin with it stands for Infinite Stratos. Originally it was an armored suit designed for deep space travel but was ultimately scrapped for the IS of today. Compared to all other weapons of the modern age they were rendered just as effective as a child's toy when put up against an IS pilot. As a result this worlds military was taken completely by surprise when the IS was suddenly a reality.

Because the IS was invented by the Japanese, Japan had monopolized the IS technology. The other countries that had become more aware of the threat signed an IS Application Protocol—commonly called the 'Alaska Treaty', and had authorized the disclosure of the IS's technology and sharing of information, establishing a foundation of world research institutions, and prohibiting military usage, among other things.

That is why, the number of IS pilots in a country has a very close relationship with its military force. Only girls can be pilots, so all the involved countries created a prioritized female protection program. So when a guy shows up who's able to pilot an IS it's natural that others would be curious.

Well, nothing was going to change if he just sat there. Even with the doorway blocked by a wall of female students it shouldn't be a problem getting by them. Chances are they'll part to let him pass with they way everyone was keeping their distance despite there faces asking for him to talk to them.

As he was getting up from his desk the blond was slightly surprised when he saw a pair of legs walk up to him. Looking up revealed this person to be Houki, "...Excuse me for a moment".

"What is it Houki?" Naruto asked the girl as he stood up fully and while his girn died ever so slightly when she stayed silent it didn't fade away. It may have been six years but she still had her long hair tied up into a ponytail with a single white ribbon. Even that familiar scowl of hers was still there, according to her she was born with it. Back then they studied kendo at the dojo her family owned.

"Is it okay if we talk in the corridor?" Houki asks the blond, her arms folded under her sizable bust. With a quick nod Naruto stepped away from his desk. As Houki turned to exit the class she told him to move quickly.

Houki hurried to the corridor and the girls gathered there stepped away in the blink of an eye. Even out in the corridor they were surrounded by others, though they did keep some distance. On the other hand he did get the feeling that they were listening in on his and Houki's conversation.

"Last year, you won the world kendo championship, right? Congratulations" Naruto told the girl having recalled the event. After Houki heard him the corners of her lips curved downward as her cheeks turned red.

"Why do you know that?" the girl asked after a moment.

"I read it in the newspaper" Naruto immediately responded.

"Why, why did you see it in something like the newspaper?" Houki said.

"Is it weird to read the newspaper?" Naruto asked, after which silence fell between them. Not exactly what he was hoping for their reunion.

After a moment Naruto tried to get the conversation going again, "Even after all this time I recognized you immediately". After hearing that Houki was surprised, and Naruto could tell. Pointing up to his head "Your hair is the same as it was back then" Naruto told er and watched as her hands came up to play with her ponytail.

"At-at least you still remember" Houki tells him.

"Of course, how could I forget a childhood friend" Naruto said before noticing a fierce gleam in her eyes. For the life of him he couldn't tell if she was glaring at him or not. Though with the sound of the bell going of it would seem he wouldn't get the chance to ask if she was angry or not.

The students around them quickly dispersed, heading back to class.

"Let's return to the classroom too" Houki told the blond as she turned to do just that.

With a big smile Naruto was right behind her.
