"Elevens" a new name the world has called Japanese ever since 8 years ago, when Brittania feclared war with Japan. Which is now called "Area 11" Elevens were considered almost as Filth and slaves, most don't even consider them as humans in their level
But some Brittanias did show kindness towards them
For example: Claude, the current commander of one of the 20 forces in Europe. His force is called "wZero" in his force, most were elevens- Despite Claude being a European, he looked and valued elevens the same
Which is probably why even Akito who never softened up to anyone- devoted himself as Claude's right hand man. He found comfort in Claude's kind and gentle ideals and plans
Now, after coming back from a war with terrorists. Unit wZero suffered a heavy loss due to Claude being absent when they attacked. A fool temporarily handled wZero and didn't listen to Claude's orders. And so, it turned into a total blood field. Left and right, humans were dying. Not "Britannia" not "Elevens" simply humans. The only time where race didn't define them was in death. They all bleed the same red
And that's how only one eleven came back from the war...The second lieutenant: Akito Hyuga
Akito was currently in front of the head commander's office, where Claude is currently inside after arriving earlier. Unfortunately Claude didn't arrive on time for the war, but they still won- because of Akito that is. Despite being covered in dirt and bruises, Akito stayed still with a perfect posture. Waiting for HIS commander to come out to report
Other soldiers were giving glances at Akito, looking at him like he was some kind of crumb at the middle of a perfectly cleaned table. However- Akito didn't give an ounce of care. He was exhausted, both mentally and physically. He didn't have any time to dwell over gazes that he was more than used to
