A special helmet designed for the Soviet air force. It is made of Wurt hide, a species able to endure the bitter cold, and a secret refined metal. Owing to the special materials and craftsmanship involved, it is incredibly expensive. The bear ear design on top inevitably increases air drag, but it doesn't seem to bother her at all.

A sword that excels in both slashing and thrusting, existing for the most rational of swordsmanship. Combining straight lines, curves, and points, it vanquishes all irregularities. "Cutting is the basic means to solving geometric problems." So said the inventor of this sword technique.

Official attire for the judges of London's aerial events. While the sunglasses may not offer the same level of protection as specialized goggles, their anti-glare properties are unmatched. "And more importantly, they're the coolest thing on the court!" remarked the interviewee's pirate friend.

A quadrate canteen made of stainless steel. It comes with a strap which makes it easier to carry around. It was still filled with spirits when we received it. Is it just her, or every Russian does this?

A waist accessory with a star shape, linked with circles and triangles. It is a symbol of the graduate swordsman. The geometric lines represent endless exploration in the art of combat. It has been said that this trinket can command a small army.

Originally designed for long-range hearing tests, this arcanum device now serves as a starting gun for referees. The interviewee noted that its rhythmic whirring is loud enough to scare off any critters lurking in the stadium.

The key to Su-01ве.

An important tool used to activate the brooms. There isn't much to say about its ordinary design.

A crown made of gold and silver, each leaf intricately carved to show her victories and glory. However, the thorns and weight also constantly remind the wearer of the sacrifices made to achieve this glory.

This leather waist pouch, made for referees, stores various arcanum items and features a side compartment containing a glass bottle filled with strong liquor. Despite its high-quality craftsmanship, the interviewee seems to regard it as a single-use item, if past usage habits are anything to go by.

After WWII, the eagle and the bear bared their fangs at the throne.

The Iron Curtain speech signaled the beginning of the lengthy Cold War. The government picked out the children with arcanum talent from all over the world and sent them to Zeno Armaments Engineering and Technology Academy where they would be trained to become a hidden yet powerful force.

Under the strict adminstration of Zeno, they have grown into obedient, persistent, efficient and silent soldiers.

But they were still young children after all, and children always make trouble.

They came from different countries and had different faiths, ideas and habits, which led to conflicts. The most noticeable troublemaker among them was, without a doubt, the pilot girl from Russia.

That was the 13th time she defeated her challengers. The exhaust of her broom raised a cloud of dust as her opponent cried.

"Told you ... it won't work. We shouldn't have messed with her. Why won't you listen to me?!"

"He's right. Don't overestimate yourselves." She made a face towards the child who fell to the ground, "The director wants to see me. Take your time, losers! Boo-hoo, mommy ..."

"Air squadron 333 to HQ, we have entered the Barents Sea zone. Initiating mission Echo Exploration."

"Take care. You know where you are. Don't be spotted by the bear."

"It's 1039 and we're spotted. An unidentified aircraft is nearby. It's smaller and faster than a fighter ... I can't see it."

"Just calm down and shake it off. Those patrol drones can't harm you. Attacking them won't do you any ..."

"Gosh, that's nuts! It has reached us! That's not a fighter, it's a witch! You won't believe this, it's a witch, uh no, a pilot on a metal aircraft ... Gosh! Those rumors about the arcanists are true! How can she fly so fast?! Is she outta her mind?! We're all gonna die!"

"Calm down! Calm, down!"

"How the hell am I supposed to calm down?! She's coming for us! She got me▃▃▂▂ZZZT!!▃▃▂▂Damn it, I swear she has cut the engine or something else open. We are going down! We are going down!"

Lilya: So ... are you the "strange thing" they mentioned?

Pandora Wilson: I'm your interviewer. Your superior should have told you about me and that I'd be interviewing you today at 16:30.

Lilya: Huh... Hmm? Oh, I remember now. Someone did mention it to me but I forgot. Hurry up and ask. I have something important to do later, can't waste any time.

Pandora Wilson: Let's start with your afternoon routine. I'm very curious about the private life of a "free-spirited" pilot like yourself.

Lilya: I'll have lunch, some snacks, some alcohol, and then fly low and circle around the town.

Pandora Wilson: That's it? That's what you mean by something important?

Lilya: Of course. Miss, the time I spend flying is much more important than you and your little chat. The most interesting part of your magazine is the cover, if you ask me.

Lilya: Look at this crying puppy. It's much funnier to read than the military newspaper!

Pandora Wilson: Now I am quite sure you have misunderstood the title UTTU just like numerous other ignorant folks did.
