Title : Is the expulsion crisis the turn around of the tables for him!?
White box : Responsibly used his trigger even so he didn’t have the right to use it. Osamu was in almost expelled from Border but, with the assistance of Jin, S-Class Group Member of the Tamakoma’s Branch, the crisis was avoided, and in the end his rank went up to B-Class.
Title : Osamu’s tenacity, all for Chika’s sake.

P03
Training starts!!
The highly popular comics volume ① is having an additional printing!! Hurry on to the bookstore!!
What is this place used for......?
To think such a a large room was located below the Base......
Tamakoma’s Branch - Training Room N.001.
This is a space that was created to use our trigger in.
Though, for people like Reiji-san and the other who are part of the sniper group, they’ll need more space so this place isn’t enough.
A space to use our trigger in......!?

P04
Trigger aren’t only mere weapons,
They are the 「technology」 supporting the foundations of the Neighbor Culture.
... Well, it’s something Rindou Branch Chief told me before.
Okay......
...... Now then, for now
Show me how long you can hold.
Came at me with your full strength.
...... Yes!
*KIIIII*

P05
Tamakoma’s Branch - Training Room N.003.
*KA-BANG*

P06
*FSSHHHH——...*
Great,
You’ve manage to hit the target.
Yes!
It seems you an hold your own using a Border trigger made for sniping.
If you can aim well, then you can hit your mark.
Firstly, you’ll train using still targets, you’ll have to make sure to always hit them.
Yes!
I’m sorry but,
From now until evening, I’ll be on Self-Defense mission.
If you can continue shooting at the same rhythm you used now,
In around 2 to 3 hours, your trion will probably not be enough to produce any more bullets.

P07
When that happens, it’ll mean today’s training session is over.
Understood!
*BOW*
She’s obedient and she’s got motivation so it should be fine but......
I honestly don’t think she’s cut out for battle......
Tamakoma’s Branch - Training Room N.002.
Let me tell you frankly, I mainly rely on my intuition so,
I’m bad at training strangers.

P08
Choose whichever trigger you want,
They’re all going to get destroyed anyway.
After that I’ll let you take time to think on why you lost.
Oh,
I can’t make a distinction between them.
Is it alright for me to come up with a plan while I fight?
It’s fine~~.
Also, because room 001 and 002 are in virtual battle mode,
It’s OK even if you fight seriously.
Tamakoma’s Branch - Operator Desk.

P09
Virtual Battle Mode……
What’s that, Shiori-chan?
Virtual Battle Mode,
With the linking of the computer and the trigger,
It falsely replicates the movements of the trigger.
It doesn’t mean you’ll really be consummating trion though,
As such it’ll enable you to train by fighting continuously.
Hmph, hmph.
So it’s a training mode where your trion doesn’t decrease, huh?
It’s really practical~~.
In other words,
It means that no matter how much you worry, it’ll end with your loss,
Midget.
Don’t call me midget,
My name is Kuga Yuuma.
Treat me well, Konami.
Wha……

P10
What happened to my due respect!
I’m your senior, aren’t I!?
Oh,
About that.
If you win against me, I’ll consider it,
Konami.
*KIIIN*
Oh~~ well said~~.
Do you really think you can win against me using a trigger from Border……?
Guess I should mention it, did you know I’ve been in Border even before Jin was?
……Fine,
Let me wager too.

P11
If you manage to win against me,
Then I’ll call you by your name.
*KIIIN*
*FWUMP*
*SIP———*
Mikumo,
You’re weak.
Are you really a B-Class?
Wheeze—
Pant—
Good work~~.

P12
Hey, Osamu-kun, here is some water.
Th…… Thank you very much.
*GOU——N*
*WOBBLE WOBBLE*
Konami-senpai.
Impossible…………
I……
*GOU——N*

P13
*SIZZLE SIZZLE*
……I won.
Did you lose Konami-senpai!?
I-I didn’t lose!!
We fought for 10 rounds, and I only managed to win the very last one.
In total in was 9 to 1 for her.
That’s right I won 9 to 1!!
That’s means I’m superior to you!!
*SMILE*
For now that is.
Kuga lost 9 to 1……!?
He might not have gotten accustomed to the trigger of Border yet but……
Does that actually mean she’s really that strong……!?

P14
Still, I was able to catch a hold of your manner of fighting.
Next time, I might even be able to seize more victories.
You better not get cocky, Yuuma,
Because that was very first but also your very last win!
Hey, let’s go at it again, once more!!
Alright.
*GOU——N*
Oh,
They’re full of motivation.
What about you?
Up to it for one more round?
I’ll do it!

P15
What,
Are they still going at it?
Reiji-san, good work~~.
Where is Amatori?
Did she come back already?
Chika-chan?
Come to think of it, I think she still hasn’t gotten out.
*GOU——N*
Hey, Amatori……!!

P16-17
Ah……
Kizaki-san,
By any chance, is it already time to close this place?
Has she been continuously shooting all this time since morning……!?
She……
Just how much trion does she exactly have……!?
*LIGHT*
Gate opening, gate opening.

P18-19
*CRACKLE CRACKLE CRACKLE*
*WHOOOOOOOOSH*
Expedition boat docking.
All group members in the vicinity be careful of the arrival.
*ZU-ZUN*
I really got tired of waiting
For the return of the Top Teams.
The most powerful in Border Headquarters sharpen their fangs——.
World Trigger …Chapter 23 / End.
Next issue, Yuuma and his teammates continue their training and the Headquarters starts moving!?
