Artist Acro 69

I just wonder how long this has to go....Since I've missed like two bajillion chapters, I can only assume that Crown's the last baddie to go, so...it's looking like Acro doesn't have much of a future...For shame Japan, for cancelling and not making an anime (Or is one in the works?) for this...and for shame fans for not scanning.

Kid: Looks like Acro skipped today's training too.

Kid2: Don't worry, the teacher will drag him back as usual.

(Sfx- Gyatsuu clanng)

Kid: Speak of the devil....

(Sfx- Zun zun dun dun)

(Sfx- Gogogogogo rmmmmble)

Acro: My Dad's so stupid!!

Stupid!!

(Sfx- Byuun Byuun fwiish fwissh)

Kid: Keep it down.

{Back then, the world I knew....}

Acro: Don't go touching my stuff!!

Vil: Oops, my bad.

(Sfx- Sasaaa sssh)

Acro: Vil or whatever.

This is my secret base okay? So make like a tree and leaf!

(Sfx- Shi shi shoo shoo!)

Vil: Sorry Sorry!

I was just over joyed!

003

Vil: So you like...

Carving do you?

Acro: And what do YOU know?

(Sfx- Dosunnn droop)

Vil: Oh? In a bad mood?

Acro: Whenever I do this, my Dad always gets mad at me.

He keeps saying that I've got to become a solider....

Vil: Come outside.

I've got something awesome to show you.

(Handwritten- Besides, it's so sunny!)

(Sfx- Para para clatter clatter)

Vil: On!

{That moment....}

004


{My world...}

{Bloomed with vibrant color.}

Acro: Hey Vil! Look!

(Sfx- Bakiiin sisssh)

(Sfx- Moniii rubbb)

Acro: Everything's blooming like everywhere! It's so awesome!!

Vil: So cultivation is interesting to you huh?

005

Acro: I want to learn how to do something like this!!

Let me be your student!

Vil: No way.

Acro: Well, how about teaching me one skill I can boast about?

Vil: That too is a No.

Acro: Why?

If I could use those powers,

Dad would have to acknowledge me....!!

Vil: Acro-kun...

How about I tell you one thing hmm?

006

Vil: What's most important to an artist....

Is more than pride or skill,

It's the ability to be honest to himself and others.

People's hearts are unstable.

This is why we create.


That's why we have to take the energies of others into account when we use our art.

Acro: 'Kay, sounds good!

Now, can I be your student?

Vil: That's...a problem.

(Handwritten- You really don't get it...)

Vil: There's no way you can understand now.

I cant take someone who's only thinking of themselves as a serious student.

Acro: FINE!!

(Sfx- Pyaaa fwissh)

Vil: Acro-kun!

007

Acro: Why won't he teach me?!

If he won't help, I'll never get noticed!!

(Sfx- Don bump)

Dad: Acro! You've been ditching your training again haven't you?!

(Sfx- Gogogogo rmmmmble)

Dad: Just where on EARTH have you been?!

{Maybe I can show dad....he might understand....}

(Sfx- Bakiiiin fwiish)

Acro: L—Look!

Isn't this great?

(Sfx- Momnaa rubbb)

Dad: Where did you pick this up?!

(Sfx- Gakiiiin graaaab)


(Sfx- Giiii grnnnd)

Acro: ?!

Ow!!

Let---

Let go....

(Sfx- Giri giri grnd grnd)

008

(Sfx- Bakiiiiinnn fwaaaash)

Dad: Ngah!!

(Sfx- Nuriii drooop*)

Acro: D--

Dad----

Dad: Acro...

Leave this place...

LEAVE THIS CAPITAL IMMEDIATELY!!

AND NEVER LOOK BACK!!

009

Acro: I...

Did something terrible to dad...

And now he's thrown me away....

Vil's right, no one would need a student like me....

I..

I'm all alone....

(Sfx- Za za ssh sssh)

(Sfx- Zaku dssh)

Vil: Looking for,

Your child?

(Sfx- Zuuu)

010

Dad: I'm looking for you.

I figured an Artist had to be behind this.

(Sfx- Gigigi grnnd)

Dad: You came in contact with Acro....

And now he possesses that fearsome power....

All thanks to you.

(Sfx- Zamaaa oooohmmm)

(Sfx- Sasaaa ssssh)

(Sfx- Kosooo sneeek)

Dad: You had to have known that around here, Artists are public enemy number one.

Yet you still show your face.

Acro: Public enemies?

011

Dad: Artists are feared and hated you fool!

If they don't have a death wish,

They have to leave this capital immediately!

{Leave this capital immediately!!}

Dad: I knew he was showing interest in Art,

But there's no life in pursuing carving and creation...

So I tried my best to shield him from future solitude and frustration!

Acro: For...me?

Dad: It's all your fault!!!

(Sfx- Aaaaaah roooar)

012

(Sfx- Doshiiiii blooorsh)

013

(Sfx- Gofuuu gloorp)

(Sfx- Kashaaa clatter)

(Sfx- Zashiaaaa ddsssh)

Vil: I've accepted...

Your anger...

To make up for everything,

Allow me to take responsibility for Acro...

Dad: Why would you go this far for him?

014

Vil: Because....

He's my student.

Please...

You have to understand his feelings about this...

(Sfx- Gehoo cough)

Vil: He'd...

Never use that power of his to hurt anyone..

Ever again..

Because he's...


A gentle boy.

015

(Sfx- Guuu griip)

Acro: Everyone's always thinking of me...

While I've only been thinking of myself!!

I'm sorry Dad!!

I won't use that power any more!!

I won't skip out on training either!!

I'll become the greatest solider ever...!!

So please, let Vil go!!

Dad: No.

016

Dad: He's your teacher isn't he?

Rather than becoming a Soldier...

You should listen to him.

(Sfx- Zubooo pluuuck)

Dad: I'll call a doctor.

If you're lucky, he'll save you.

(Sfx- Zaa zaa ssssh sssh)

(Sfx- Pooon pat)

Vil: Isn't this great Acro-kun?

Acro: Sniff...

Vil: You created something that you Dad acknowledged....

Acro: Yeah...


(Sfx- Muku fwp)

Vil: Hello Acro-kun.

Acro: I met Vil again in my dreams...

(Sfx- Goshi rub)

Vil: Gotta hand it to you, I've never met a guy who took a nap at the edge of the afterlife...

Acro: O—Oh yeah, I'm dead aren't I?

Funny, I feel a bit lighter now...

(Sfx- n-)

Vil: Acro-kun.

There's no longer any time.

Let me explain the details of the matter quickly...

Acro: Huh?

Vil: The reason why I killed you.

018

Vil: Everything,

Has been a ploy by Crown who is tired of running from you.

He hasn't been defeated quite yet...

So we celebrated too early.

The fact of the matter is...

You've grown during the last two years....

But....

It's still not...

As much as I would have hoped.

All of you together have quite a bit of energy between you...

But by himself he's got more...

I thought I could face him and run away from the truth but I couldn't.

To believe...

To believe that you all can do it....!!

019

Vil: Crown is strong.

He is nothing but an embodiment of hatred.

He wants nothing more than destruction, whether it be the people or the world itself...!!

I....

I thought I could stop him...

But that hatred is....

It's too strong for even me to handel.

That's why...

This time I'll put it all on the line...

I'll put all of my faith into all of you.....

Please stop Crown....!!!

020

Acro: Just leave it to me!!

Vil: My 'Skill' 'Live Movie',

Is currently rewinding.

Acro: Huh?

Vil: Using that, I can return your body to a previous state....

In short,

I can make it so you never died.

I can't go manipulating memories, but you'll understand the situation once you've returned to life.

Acro: So you can control time Vil...?!

(Handwritten- That's so sweet!)

Vil: That's not quite it...I'm only returning things to normal.

My power can't do much more than that.

021

Vil: By the way Acro-kun,

Did you know this?

It's a little embarrassing to admit, but Subaru and I haven't had a fight as Father and Son before this incident...

(Sfx- Bakii smack)

(Handwritten- His power is nothing to laugh at either...)

Vil: I wonder if this is one step forward?

Acro: What's up with you all of a sudden?

You can just go talk to him yourself right?

Vil: I guess so...

But,

I think I'll....

Just leave everything to you Acro-kun.

Acro: Vil?

022

(Sfx- Dokaatsu twhok)

(Sfx- Zuzaaa sssssh)

Nene: Subaru! Deco!!

(Sfx- Zukiii wbb)

(Sfx- Geho geho cough cough)

(Sfx- Hah hah)

Subaru: Crap!

He still needs about 30 seconds...!!

Crown's still looking right at them too....

It's almost as if I don't exsist...!!

Isn't there anything....

I can do against a guy like him?!

(Sfx- Gyuu Griiip)

023

Crown: This is it....

(MINARETT)

(Sfx- Baaannn dsssssh)

Nene: Look out Subaru!!

(WORD SOUL!!!)

(Sfx- Gyuukkaaa dweeeeeee)

(Sfx- Kyuuuiiitsu DOOFF)

Subaru: Dammit...!!

024

(Sfx- Boshiiii CLANK)

025

(Sfx= Chkatsuuuu claaaaaakcccc)

Acro: Sorry,

Been waitin' long?


(Sfx- Bariii fwassh)

Subaru: A---...
