Ange starts her first day as a soldier due to being a Norma. Jill assigns Ange to the 1st Squadron headed by Captain Zola, a hedonistic sultry woman, and introduces Ange to the squadron which others despised her and few liked her. Ange is then supervised by Salia, a quiet lieutenant and Zola's second in command. Ange is forced to wear a deceased pilot's suit but an annoyed Salia strips her naked and Ange reluctantly agrees to wear the suit. Then Ange is trained to a ParaMail simulator where at first she's confused in handling the controls but she later gains control when she recalls her aerial lacrosse matches which is quite similar to the controls of ParaMail. After days of training, Zola admits that Ange is doing well in her routine and Salia gives Ange supplies and a room to sleep on. At the canteen, Ange is joined by Zola's girls and still reminds her that her royalty perks are now gone and accept that she is a Norma. Ange left the table and Coco followed her, confessing to Ange that she likes her and wants to go to Misurugi Empire with her. On her room, she dumps Coco's pudding and writes a letter requesting for her release. Jill reads Ange's request but quickly declines and an unsatisfied Zola drags Ange to the interrogation room and starts fondling her. Ange fights back and Zola's artificial eye pops out. During their altercation, the command is alerted that a singularity portal is about to open and the 1st Squadron is dispatched. In their dispatch, Ange takes advantage of defecting the squadron, Salia chases her and Coco joins Ange in going back to Misurugi Empire. However, the portal opens and shoots a beam through Coco, killing her. Ange is now in shock from what she sees from the DRAGONs' attack.
