In the heart of Gakusen Toshi, a bustling city that bears both the scars and triumphs of its history, a young girl named Hikari Kurogane awakens to the vibrant glow of dawn. Sunlight filters through the towering skyscrapers, casting a warm embrace upon her quiet apartment.
The gentle hum of technology resonates in the air as Hikari prepares for another day at school. Her gaze lingers on a faded photograph on her dresser—her parents, radiant smiles frozen in time. They were scientists, visionaries who had dedicated their lives to the advancement of Gakusen Toshi's society.
Amidst her morning routine, Hikari's fingers brush against a pendant hanging from a delicate chain. The pendant, an intricate blend of metal and crystal, is a relic from the Great War—a memento of her parents' legacy. They had once told her tales of the war's horrors, of the Exadia, and of the sacrifices made to protect the city.
As Hikari steps outside, the city's vibrancy contrasts with her own somber thoughts. Her destination is Exovius High School, where the memories of her parents linger like echoes in every corridor. The halls whisper stories of their brilliance, their courage, and their tragic fate.
During class, the history teacher recounts the tale of the Great War and the Exadia's destructive reign. Hikari's heart races as she listens, her parents' stories coming to life before her eyes. But the teacher's words are merely a prelude to the whispers of her own destiny—an echo that grows stronger with each passing day.
After school, Hikari walks the familiar streets, lost in thought. She finds herself standing outside her parents' abandoned workshop—a place she's avoided since their passing. A sense of melancholy lingers in the air, mingling with the scent of metal and the distant hum of machinery.
The workshop holds secrets waiting to be uncovered. Hikari steps inside, her eyes widening at the sight before her. The room is filled with relics from the war—forgotten documents, prototypes, and an array of artifacts. Among them lies an ornate pedestal, upon which rests a dormant Regolis weapon, its blade shimmering with latent power.
Drawn to the weapon, Hikari touches its hilt. A surge of energy courses through her veins, and an ethereal connection forms—an understanding between her and the Regolis weapon. As the room bathes in a soft, radiant light, Hikari's purpose crystallizes—she is meant to lead the Regolis Team, to wield their power and rewrite their city's destiny.
With newfound resolve, Hikari gazes at the Regolis weapon. The first chapter of her journey has begun—a journey that will reshape her world, challenge her perceptions, and lead her to confront the legacy of the past. As the city's skyline twinkles under the fading sun, Hikari takes her first step towards a revolution that transcends time and circumstance.
