Past Events
Saki first appeared in Chapter 13, along with other people who wants to become soldier, she attended at the enrollment ceremony of the training school. When Schmelman Bach reading his storybook, along with Akui Genji and Suda Kyouhei, Saki laughed at him by saying they aren't kid so they don't need to listen a children story. Soon, Alexandrov Grigorovich took out his gun and "killed" them. After awhile, the three of them woke up and realized the blood on their faces was actually just a paint. Alexandrov reveals that the reason why they do this is so the newbies won't be scared at battlefield, which the trio apologies the instructors for their behavior earlier.

On the first day of school, every student received two stars and were told that: every day at 18:00 (6:00 PM) they should check the number of stars each students possessed. Any student with 10 stars is enlisted into the army and will receive extra payment/food rations, while those that have less than 10 stars would be expelled from the school. Every students of the Class A, with the exception of Sakai Rihito due to a special task, they all received their stars from their instructor Schmelman. During the class, Saki realized her stars was lost so she asks everyone if they know who stolen her stars, which soon revealed it was Douan Taketora that stolen her stars. Later on at 18:00 PM, along with other students, Saki regained her stars from Rihito who brought the stolen stars back from Taketora without him noticing.

A few weeks later, Schmelman informed Class A about a peeping incident, which there's a certain person who always peeping the woman's bath every single night. Later, when Rihito enters the supposedly "woman's bath", he realized that it's actually man's bath and captured by the girls. Saki explains that it's Pele Poporo's idea for switching both bath's names, as he already knew Rihito is the culprit from the beginning. Later, when Jail Murdoch went unconscious after leaved the woman's bath, Rihito tried to run away but he was captured by Alexandrov. Because of him captured the culprits, Alexandrov punishing all Class A students by running outside. During the punishment, along with most of the girls, Saki kicking Rihito and blaming him for their punishment.

A few weeks after the culprit was revealed to be Rihito and the class receives a punishment, the Class A is still doing their punishment due to Rihito keep peeping the woman's bath. Because of this, Alexandrov stated he will give them a "prize" for doing their punishment everyday, which soon revealed to be Forest Survival trip. During the trip, Rihito told the girls there's a river around the forest, the girls were happy and went to drinks it's water but Rihito made a trap to cause them fall into the river. The girls soon realized his true intention that he wants to see their underwear and covers their body, although they soon went back to the forest without covering their body, which Rihito found it odd. The girls explains they don't care since Rihito already seen them a lot of times, and that they must not afraid about it as gender doesn't matter in the battlefield. Soon, when Saki tried to tame off her bra, Rihito gives his uniform for her to cover her body and asking everyone if they really wanted to become soldiers. Saki and the others stated that they must kill their enemies in order to protect their friends and family, or else their family members all died instead. Then, Schmelman appeared and said that they can form the "Non-Killing Army" while they can still becomes a soldier. While the Class A was happy, Saki asks him if that's even possible and he answers with yes, as long as Class A really want to do so. With this, Class A decide to form the "Non-Killing Army" under Schmelman's suggestion.

After the Forest Survival trip has ended, Class A's training is finally started. Schmelman stated that he won't train them as hard as Alexandrov and revealed that the culprit who peeped on women's bath on the first day, is actually not Rihito but Schmelman himself as he wanted to know their talent, which angered Saki and she was about to punch him before he dodged her punch. Soon, he gives Class A weapons that suit them. After the explanation, Schmelman told Class A try to hit him in a training battle. Although nobody except Lyne Mei able to hit him, the training has begun. Tokikaze was told by Schmelman to draw his sword much father than a light.

Saki and other students keep doing their training for a few months, until Davi was killed by the terrorists. In the next day, Class A received news about Rihito will receives a surgery to gains superhuman strength. Saki is shocked at this news and worries about Rihito, because if the surgery failed he will die. After Schmelman's genes successful injected into Rihito's body, the Class A students was glad that the surgery went well. Soon, the training school received a surprise attack from United Nations Forces. The soldiers from United Nations Forces entered the school by force and tried to kill Saki and the other girls, but the girls was saved by Genji protect them by took several gunshots. After Genji's fall, the soldiers attempted to rape the girls but they were soon saved by Sakai Tokikaze and Jail. Alexandrov then told everyone to hiding inside the school. While hiding inside the school, the girls was scared and traumatized from the events earlier. Alexandrov told them not to worry and claims the reinforcement will arrive soon. However, the United Nations Force used nuclear bomb to destroys the garrison, so there won't be any reinforcement sent to help the school. This only gave the girls some hopelessness.

While the enemies still launching their attacks, Alexandrov told the remaining survivors to leave the school as soon as possible. However, as the enemies had taken over the courtyard, Tokikaze has no choice but to faces United Nations Forces while gives other students a chance to run away. Before they could do so, Saki was captured by the enemy sergeant. Because of this, Tokikaze and the others was all captured by the enemies as well. The sergeant realized that they're trainee soldiers and he found their fighting skills impressive. Due to this, the sergeant decided to become their "teacher" and teaches them what will happen when one of their friends killed in front of them. When the sergeant is about to kill Saki, Genji went to save her and begging him not to kill her, as he was in-love with her and wanted to become her knight to protect her. The sergeant "agreed" his request and attacked Genji instead, stated that he won't kill her until Genji died first.

Whrn Rihito arrived at the courtyard, he notice the half naked females kneeling by the soldiers. The girls tried to play it off telling him not to worry, and trying to laugh, but Saki started to break and was almost in tears. Rihito ran up and hugged Saki as she cried. Full of rage, he looked at the sergeant of the soldiers and asked, "What were you trying to do to my comrades?" The sergeant pointed his gun at Rihito, but being slow, Rihito knocked out all the soldiers. When everyone celebrates over Rihito's "victory", Genji told everyone that he's still alive and felt sadden at how Saki ignored him even after he risked his own life to save her. Saki then apologies Genji for ignoring him and says she will shake his hand as a reward for saving her, which makes Genji happy. As Class A having their conversation, the enemies stand up and drops their clothes, which revealed they have explosives covering their body but Rihito destroyed the controller. Then, the enemy sergeant stated that they had placed a nuclear bomb in somewhere in the school (Although later it's revealed to be a lie). After the enemy sergeant finished the war teaching for the Class A, he stated he will activate the nuclear bomb in 10 seconds. Seeing how hopeless the situation was, Tokikaze decided to kill the soldiers by himself, but due to his grandmother's promise, Rihito stopped him and he killed the soldiers instead. As Rihito run away, Jail and the others told Class A that it's time for them go back to their future and disappeared.

During the Abandonment War, Licht (Rihito's current name) was slowly losing his sanity. Because of this, Saki and the other girls trying to reach him via his perverted side. They walked up and showed him their underwear, where he got up and walked away. Sumiya Asumi cried and stated the old Licht has gone, but Saki tried to reason that the reason he didn't react was because it was the lingerie, that if they found the lingerie he really liked, he would return to the person he was.

Before they left, the Class A wrote a latter for unconscious Tokikaze that they will commit suicide so the children can fill their stomach, and that they need him to watch over the children once he finally awaken.
