In this school fantasy story set in the distant future, creatures contaminated by pollution have overtaken the land, forcing humanity to live in isolated mobile cities called Regios. One such city named Zuellni is a self-contained school in which freshman Layfon Alseif has just enrolled. Layfon reluctantly joins the 17th Military Arts Platoon led by the third-year student Nina Antalk and embarks on a series of adventures.
CHROME SHELLED REGIOS Chapter 1
It's been a month since we parted ways and I've finally reached Zuellni. I got here just in time for the opening ceremony. There were five bus changes before I got here; living in a single city back then, I never realized how hard traveling could be. Getting to another city isn't easy, since all cities move according to their own desires. I never understood why the ancient alchemists made the cities self-aware. But now I see that it was done so they could avoid filth monsters and protect us. I understand that now.
During the trip, some filth monsters passed by my bus. Their cruel and dangerous appearance was horrifying. The thought of being attacked on a bus with no way to escape was enough to make all my hairs stand on end.
CHROME SHELLED REGIOS Chapter 2
How are you? I'm quite good here.
How's life at the new school? Have you made friends? I'm experiencing new things everyday. As long as there are new people around me, the levels of experiences are different and very surprising.
I hold a curious and refreshing view of my new life. Everything's so new and different that sometimes I think back to the past. Recently, I remembered what it was like when I first started my training.
Perhaps it's too early to call that the past, but I can't change the things that have already happened. Maybe it's better to call them the past.
I've begun a new life here. Things didn't go well at first, but I think they'll become better.
I've made new friends here. A senior senpai really looks after me.
How're you over there? I shouldn't have to worry because it's you. You must have made more friends than me, since you're better at interacting with people.
A weatherd shell reflected in a mirror. I like the shapes and textures formed from the weathering. The shell was found on the shore at Walton-on-the -Naze, Essex UK. One of a series of still life macro shots using shells.
Statue coated with shells in the Residenz museum. Like other items in the museum, this was reconstructed after the destruction of the museum during World War II.
Hours are spent looking for these on summer holidays. First with my parents, now with my children.
Some of the shells are happy, some sad and most look like finger prints.
"One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach. One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few."
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
And for completeness, a close-up of the most recognisable landmark in my home town, the Sydney Opera House. It's difficult getting a shot like this without tourists all over the place. I was lucky to get a gap big enough to take this.
The shells are so white, it's impossible to capture them gleaming in the sun without underexposing everything else.
