The ceasefire between the Galactic Federation and the Valk Alliance is collapsing. Adrian Voss, the Voss family’s disgraced eldest son, secretly guards the northern border as the EX-rank Zero Knight. After his mother Layla is silenced with a neural toxin, he hides behind a zero-sync playboy mask to investigate. In the vanguard trials, he first forfeits, then defeats Valk champions and exposes Helena and Silas’s forged evidence, bribery and poisoning. He wins chief-pilot authority and forms a joint command with Viola to face the Valk fleet.
