Chapter 8 "Electigra, the Lightning Beast"
Pg. 1
A Happy Holiday to ya! Is it the fishing that caught your eye? Or was it the sexy me!?

Pg. 2
** Facing the beasts upon landing!! They’re in even greater danger!! **

Electigra - GRRR...
GRAAAARH

Gatou - E...Electigra!?
Aren't they the vicious beasts that'll even attack dragons...?

UGWAH!!

Pg. 3
Lu-...Luca! Do something...

Luca - This is my first time, as well. I wonder what I should do...
Gatou - Hey! Don't just take off on your own!

Shino - In this situation, the one who makes the quickest getaway…

Wins!

Everyone go in the woods.
Gatou – Go...Gotcha.

*sniff* *sniff*

Pg. 4
Electigra - GROOAH

Gatou - Shit! They found us, already!!

Dammit, they're catching up.
I'll use my metal board...

Pg. 5
WHAAT!!? It won't float!!
Shino - We're not in the city, that board's useless here!
Gatou – Oh yeah! It won't float without the magnetic field.

NGNYA!

Luca – Then, I'll...

Make some use of it!!

Shino - Ah...
You can't...

Pg. 6
Luca - MEGYABABABA

Shino - You...

*step*

Shino – The Electigra is a beast that can discharge high amounts of electricity to paralyze its prey!
It's a natural enemy to the spreading of metals that people even call it the Man-eater Lightning Beast!
Luca – Tell me that sooner...

Pg. 7
Gatou - We...We're surrounded!!
Shino - Don't panic! We'll find a way out, somehow!

Somehow...
*rustle*
Huh?

Bejeena - Well then, Zuou...
Let us see, of the 3776 examinees this year...
How many will be able to safely land, escape the forest of lightning beasts...
Reach Mt.Volcano...

Pg. 8
And finally pass onto the second examination site?
I do hope it won't be zero again...

Gatou - You...You sure we can find a way outta this!?
Luca - Tha...That's thing's huge!!

Shino - The leader of the pack!!?
I never knew there was one this big...

Pg. 9
Electigra - GWROOO...

Luca - What's with that destructive power...?
Gatou - There's no way to win if we can't stop its movement.

Shino - [Stop its movement!?]
[That’s right...!]

Use this, Luca-kun.

Pg. 10
Luca - [A chunk of Phylomium!!]

Shino – Can you make a cage some distance away from us!? We're going to lock that beast inside!
Luca - Oh! Clever thinking!
Shino - Make it quick, stupid!

Quick...

KYAA!

Luca - Shino!

Shino - Ugh...I'm fine! Do it now, Luca-kun!

Pg. 11
Luca - Damn you!

I'll lock you all up!!

Gatou - Luca, it's about to discharge. Watch out!

Pg. 12
Luca - Ugh.

Gatou - Dammit...it doesn't work...!?

Pg. 13
Luca - The board's moving on its own!?

Wai...UWAAH!

Gatou - [Isn’t this...]

[The electric current's flowing through Luca's unfinished cage...]

[Making a strong magnetic field around it...]

Pg. 14
[It’s a solenoid!!]

[The magnetic force should be stronger inside the solenoid.]
Luca!

Slam the board on that thing's head!
That's...

Pg. 15
The only way to beat it, Luca!!
*CLANG*

Luca - You dare try and shock us with such weird electricity.
Like hell we'll...

Become...

Pg. 16
Your prey!

Gatou - That shape...
It's a giant bullet...!!

[When it reaches the opening of the solenoid, it'll]

[Speed up!!]

Pg. 17
Electigra - GYKEEH

Pg. 18
Luca - We won!

Shino - Yippee!
Gatou – Look at how awesome we are!!
Shouldn't be too hard for us to clear the whole exam, now!

Luca - Isn't that obvious? I'm gonna be a Minea, after all.
Gatou - You won't make it without Shino's and my help though, stupid.

Shino - Yep, you got that right, Gatou-kun.
Gatou - [Shino-san, your clothes are about to tear apart!!]

Pg. 19
Trenka - Ahaha, you're a lively bunch, there.
Aren't you happy over beating just one lightning beast?

Well, I guess this should calm the forest for a while.

Alright.

I've never taken the exam before, but I do hope there's more, since honestly, this is quite a let down for me.
Gatou - Ju...Just who are you, exactly...?
** A fearless smile! Their rival has shown himself!? **

Trenka - Me? I'm Trenka...a solo examinee with no assistant.
Nice to meet you...
