As they say, vacations never go according to plan, and when terrorists hijack their plane, they find themselves held as hostages in North Korea. A deadly terrorist organization has been tracking Kaname carefully, wanting to study her gift of "the Whispered," her telepathic skill, and they are willing to sacrifice everyone on the plane to capture her. Unfortunately for the terrorists, Sosuke Sagara, agent of the hyper-secret government commando agency, "Mithril," is undercover as one of the students. Mission: protect Kaname without her knowledge.

The popular and pretty Kaname Chidori is back, and just trying to be an ordinary high school student. But Sosuke Sagara, that hard-bodied special agent of Mithril, has gone undercover, posing as Kaname's classmate to protect her from the forces of evil. While being an ordinary student is fun for Kaname, so far it's been sheer torture for the commando-trained, gun-toting, all-around butt-kicking Sosuke. But wait! Is there romance in the air?! Is it finally dawning on Kaname that she's attracted to Sosuke? Experience the whirlwind of Kaname and Sosuke's tumultuous (and hilarious) high school life in Full Metal Panic Vol. 3!

By going undercover, sporting a Bonta-kun costume, he ends up saving the day, or at least Kaname. Aside from the high school dreamboat, Kaname still has her eye on Sosuke, and she is finally ready to come clean... but why is Tessa stepping out of Sosuke's shower?!
