Energy Blades 101 was the first class offered at G.E.A.R.S. University. In the class, there are 35 ranks. Every five ranks you go up yields to you a higher colored belt. The highest color belt available is the Black Belt, whereas the lowest ranking belt is the White Belt (beginner).
In order to go up ranks, you must spar with either a classmate or a training dummy, and occasionally a Moglin known as Master Twang. If victorious, you must then succeed a Blade Skill check. In order to do that, you are given a randomly generated number between 1 and 100. If you are wearing the uniform, you are granted a +4 bonus to the roll. In order to gain a rank, the resultant number must be greater than or equal to the number that the game gives you. This number goes up as you advance through the ranks.
Additionally, when you go up ranks, different weapons become available to you. Energy Blades 101 will help you get stronger with fighting non-mecha Enemies. All of this is taught by the great and powerful Master Tsuba

Trivia[]
In the classroom there are two scrolls with Chinese characters "沒徜", while these two characters are totally meaningless when coming with this combination. However, individually the characters do have their own meanings. The first character, 沒 (méi), means not and is used in the Mandarin word for have not. The second character, 徜 (cháng), means to walk to and fro or lingering. It is one of the two characters used in the actual Mandarin word for loiter. So 沒徜 while grammatically incorrect does approximate the meaning of no loitering.
