Enoshima Maritime Girls' School

Enoshima Maritime Girls' School (江ノ島臨海女学校) is a Garden in Kamakura, Japan.

It is a support Garden founded after fortifying the entirety of Enoshima as a stronghold against the Huge. Unlike other Gardens, this Garden does not use the standard 9-member Neunwelt Tactic formation and does not engage in combat against Gigant-type Huge. Instead, its primary mission is to defend against stray Huge attempting to land from Sagami Bay^[1].

History

Originally, the responsibility of defending Sagami Bay fell to Yurigaoka Girls' Academy and Zushi International Girls' High School. However, since Gigant-type Huge sometimes appeared among the strays, powerful Legions had to regularly conduct reconnaissance and extermination missions. Yurigaoka and Zushi International alternated in patrolling the coastline.

However, as the frequency of Huge attacks increased, it became clear that reconnaissance alone was no longer sufficient. Implementing a Light Wall System, similar to that of Odaiba Girls' School, was considered. But due to the vast length of the coastline, both the construction costs and time required were deemed impractical.

Thus, the decision was made to establish a Support Garden specifically tasked with the daily defense of Sagami Bay. As a result, Enoshima Maritime Girls' School was founded. Unlike other Gardens, this academy does not have a fixed national defense zone and focuses exclusively on eliminating stray Huge in eastern Sagami Bay^[1].

Relationship with Yurigaoka

Although Enoshima Maritime Girls' School is primarily a support Garden, it still maintains its status as a Garden. The campus, while not equipped with full-scale defenses, does have a Wide-Area Defense System, which weakens the power of Huge approaching from Sagami Bay, ensuring the safety of the region. The presence of this Garden has helped suppress the invasion of stray Huge from the sea.

Furthermore, Yurigaoka Girls' Academy has traditionally referred to the southern Sagami Bay as "Yurigaoka's Sea" and has rigorously defended it. Following the destruction of Zushi International Girls' High School, Legions such as Brynhildr Line, Vingólf, and Schwertleite now take turns patrolling the coastline to maintain absolute vigilance. The cooperation between Enoshima Maritime Girls' School and Yurigaoka Girls' Academy remains strong, ensuring this region stays relatively safe.

Additionally, Caves that spawn Gigant-type Huge rarely appear in this area. On the rare occasions when a Gigant-type emerges, powerful Legions from Yurigaoka Girls' Academy are dispatched to swiftly eliminate them. During such operations, Enoshima Maritime Girls' School handles the weaker Huge, clearing out Large-types and below enemies that could interfere with the execution of theNeunwelt Tactic^[1]..

Combat Style

The "Talaria" unit, developed by the Vulcanus Company, is a hybrid between MAGUS technology and Cavalier equipment. It functions much like high-speed jet boots that allow for swift movement across the ocean surface.

Enoshima Maritime Girls' School specializes in combat utilizing Talaria and marine Fünfwelt Tactics to achieve consistent battlefield success. By neutralizing Huge before they make landfall, they effectively protec the coastline.

Their iconic jet boots, Talaria, undergo continuous upgrades, with much of the school's Arsenal Department dedicated to research and development in this area. Nowhere else in the world are Talaria units utilized as extensively as in this Garden, making it the global leader in this specialized technology^[1].

School Culture

As a Support Garden working alongside Yurigaoka Girls' Academy, the school mainly engages in combat against small-type and mid-type Huge. As a result, daily life at the Garden is relatively peaceful and idyllic. The school is known for its calm and friendly atmosphere, comparable to that of Kamba Girls' High School for the Fine Arts.

Additionally, students receive training in coastal safety and lifesaving techniques, making swimming a mandatory skill for all Lilies. Most students wear swimsuits underneath their uniforms as part of their standard attire.

Since Enoshima Maritime Girls' School has a unified campus for elementary, middle, and high school students, there is little separation between grade levels. High school and middle school students often form squads together in combat, fostering strong bonds. This unique school structure has led to a remarkably high rate of Schutzengel-like relationships among students^[1].

Trivia

In line with the Greek/Roman naming theme used by Vulcanus, the Talaria are named after the winged sandals of Mercury.
Enoshima Maritime Girls' School is located in Fujisawa, the same city as Azone International's corporate headquarters.
