Ep 11. Get Ready

Infinite Stratos season 1 is an anime series set in a world where powerful mecha suits known as Infinite Stratos are the only weapons used in war. These suits are designed to be piloted exclusively by girls, but a boy named Ichika Orimura suddenly finds the power to control one. He is therefore enrolled in an all-girls Infinite Stratos training academy as a test case to see if he can become the first male pilot.

In episode 11, titled Get Ready, the end-of-term exams are fast approaching and the students of the academy are busy preparing for them. Ichika gets an unexpected visit from his sister Chifuyu, who is a famous Infinite Stratos pilot and instructor at the academy. She reveals that Ichika's performance will be closely scrutinized by the government officials who are monitoring his progress in order to decide the fate of the male Infinite Stratos program.

Meanwhile, Ichika's classmates are also under a lot of pressure to perform well in the exams, since they are all eager to prove themselves as pilots. Houki tries to brush off her worries by training even harder, but her frustration only grows when she sees Ichika spending time with the other girls. Rin, Charlotte, and Laura all have their own reasons for wanting to do well, and they are each determined to come out on top.

As the day of the exams arrives, the students are put through a series of grueling challenges that test their piloting skills and combat abilities. Ichika is surprised to see that he has been paired up with Charlotte for one of the tests, and the two of them struggle to work together as they face off against Houki and Rin. Despite their best efforts, they end up failing the test, and Ichika's chances of being acknowledged as a worthy pilot are greatly diminished.

As the students prepare for the final exam, tensions run high and tempers flare. Houki challenges Ichika to a duel, determined to prove that she is the better pilot. Meanwhile, Laura plots to sabotage Charlotte's chances by altering the settings on her Infinite Stratos suit. Rin, who has been keeping a close eye on Ichika, begins to suspect that something strange is going on between him and the other girls.

In the end, the students must face a final challenge that will determine who among them is truly worthy of being called an Infinite Stratos pilot. As they battle it out in the skies, their friendships and alliances are put to the test, and Ichika finds himself torn between his duty to the academy and his loyalty to his fellow pilots. Will he be able to prove himself as a worthy pilot and earn the respect of his peers? Or will he fail, and risk having his dreams crushed forever?
