Reforging History in the Age of Steel - Episode 3

At the academy's team selection, Mr. Culley, a technician, teams with Ms. Thomas, who studied in Estrad and won second place in weapons research, as the competition begins. Returning students pressure Culley to join them and belittle his experience, but he refuses and defends Thomas, insisting they can compete. Taunts escalate into a formal wager: if Culley's team's results aren't better in one month, he must stay on as the rival's assistant; if the rival loses, they claim Culley's record player. Teams are set and a one-month deadline now decides everything.
