Story

The prologue starts with a retellng of the Second Europan War from the first game. Coming to the present in January 1937, Mellvere, a person shows up looking for the player's character: Avan Hardins, who introduces himself. The person introduces himself as Hubert Brixham, an instructor from the Lanseal Military Academy. Avan recognizes the school as to where his brother, Leon Hardins attends. Hubert announces his presence to deliver Avan the grieving news that his brother is confirmed dead. Not believing any of what he has heard, Avan demands to know the truth while Hubert doesn't respond to his questions as the answers regard military classification.

They are interrupted however by incoming gunfire nearby, signalling that the GRA is attacking Mellvere. Avan gathers all the town's watchmen together for a counter-defense measure.

Aftermath

Hubert praises Avan for his leadership against the rebels, but still remains irresponsible regarding Leon's death. In response, Avan rips up the death certificate making his decision to enroll into the Lanseal Military Academy to discover the truth. Confirming the decision, Hubert hands Avan an enrollment application form for Lanseal, warning him of the strict standards that awaits him. Hubert then leaves, while Avan with the application in hand is determined to find his brother, no matter what it takes.

Following the end of the scene, the story continues after the prologue following the events after Cordelia's confession, As many citizens give support, some of the noble houses refuse to accept and form the GRA to purge Gallia of the entire Darcsen population, thus setting the story of Valkyria Chronicles 2.
