Yuuma: Well......
All available training modes have been cleared.
Left: Piece of cake!!

P02
Yuuma: The full marks for a training mode is 20 points.
From previous and today's training, I get an extra 100 points,
which means 2900 more points to go.
Yuuma: In other words, to get to 4000 points......
Tokieda: Contract training is twice per week,
if you keep on getting full marks, you can achieve 4000 points within 19 weeks.
Yuuma: How many days does that equal to?
Tokieda: 133 days.
Yuuma: Well... Hmm... Still a long way to go.
In that case......

P03
Chapter 38 : [Kuga Yuuma ⑥]
Yuuma: I'll have to fight for points in the 「Rank Battle」.
Insert Text: Rank Battle has finally begun!!
Tokieda: This is the hall for C-class Rank Battles.
I'll teach you the basics for Rank Battles,
grab a seat meanwhile.
Author: Daisuke Ashihara

P04
Tokieda: C-class Rank Battles take place in a 1 vs. 1 imaginary battlefield.
It's pretty simple.
This screen shows the weapons and the points right?
These are the members that are currently in the Rank Battle.
Simply choose an opponent and select it, then you can battle straightaway.
However, you could also be selected by an opponent.
When you don't feel like battling, just leave the room.
Yuuma: What can I do to get as many points as quickly as possible?
Tokieda: When you defeat an opponent with higher points, you get more points.
Even if you won against an opponent with points lower than yours, you do not get as much points,
however if you lose you'll lose a lot of points.
Yuuma: Ooh, I see.

P05
Yuuma: Thank you very much for doing the explanation specially for me, Kitora's senpai.
Tokieda: I'm Tokieda.
Yuuma: Thank you, Tokieda-senpai.
Newbie 1: The strong ones will not take unnecessary risks.
They'll follow battle strategies to win just for the sake to win.
Challenging opponents with higher points are stupid mistakes made by those outsiders with wishful thinking.
Even though it's little, it still won't change the fact that points can be obtained by defeating weaker opponents.
「Going after the ones you can defeat」,
this is the basic plan for the 「Winners」.
It is a natural conclusion.
Newbie 2: Woah,
here comes a new victim.

P06
Newbie 1: Okay......
Let me teach them the cruelty of this world.
Newbie 3: Hey,
don't go overboard with the bullying, you'll hurt the newbie's heart.
It is a must to have mercy for the weak ones.
Newbie 1: The weak will always be the prey of the strong......
Eliminating those without a future is a salvation to them,
don't you think?
Unknown 2: Let's book that victim for the next round.
Announcer: Battle stage 「City Area A」.
C-class Rank Battle,
begin!

P07
Yuuma: Oh!
No.1 from the newbie trio!
Newbie 1: ......!!?
It's you......!!
Yuuma: If so, then...
please treat me kindly.

P08
SFX: BAM
SFX: BAM
SFX: BOOM

P09
Yuuma: Whoa~
This is much faster than mode training!
Replica: Indeed,
however as your points get higher it will be harder to obtain points.
Yuuma: Should I battle the Newbie trio for another full round?
Replica: You'll break their heart if you squeeze too much points out of them.
Newbie trio: Ehhhhhhh----!!
Kido: So...
That is Kuga's son?

P10
Rindou: That's right,
Yuuma Kuga.
He's got some nice skills.
Kido: ...... Kazama.
How is he from your point of view?
Kazama: ...... As he is only a C-class it is hard to tell,
but it is obvious that he is used to battle from his movements.
If he uses a battle trigger I'm afraid he would be in the prodigy class,
with a strength above 8000 points.

P11
Shinoda: 8000......!!
If so,
it would be bad to place him amongst the normal C-class members.
He should start from around 3000 points,
progressing to B-class as soon as possible.
Kitora herself started from 3600 points, didn't she?
Rindou: That's what I plan to do, but I feel that I might be blamed by Mr. Kido......
Kido: Why is he not using the black trigger?
It is the fastest route to be promoted to S-class.

P12
Rindou: Here we go again~~
If he uses the black trigger,
it is obvious that you'll seize the trigger by force.
You'll say 「Even though his enlistment in Border is approved, he is not approved to use his black trigger 」,
somewhere along those lines.
Kido: ......
...... Few days ago,
the newcomer who made a hole in the wall of the sniper training room is from Tamakoma, by the name of
「Chika Amatori」.
Rindou: About that kid... Her trion ability is a bit too powerful.
But she'll become a battle powerhouse, so let her off the hook this time.
Kido: The neighbour with a black trigger... A trion monster......
What is the purpose of them gathering together?

P13
Rindou: Well, they are not scheming anything.
Do you think that Jin and I are planning something behind your back, Mr. Kido?
Forming a group...
Aiming for A-class...
Those are matters that they personally decided.
Chika's brother and friend were abducted by Neighbours.
She hopes to rescue them with the aim to be chosen as part of the expedition force.
Yuuma and another team member, Osamu.
They are there just to help her out.
Kazama: ...... I see.
For a purpose like that...
Kido: Trying to use a Neighbour to rescue those who have been abducted by Neighbours......
What a stupid idea......

P14
Kido: There are countless countries on the other side,
it would be very difficult to determine which country has abducted them.
Even more, it is not known whether the victims are alive or not......
It is very regrettable, but rescuing them would be a very unrealistic thing to do.
Shinoda: So should they just do nothing?
This is a matter where possibilities shouldn't be considered!
Kido: I am talking about the fact that the real world is much more cruel compared to the world imagined by those kids.
Rindou: Well, they'll be more motivated when they have an aim.
Whether they are rescuing,
or taking revenge.
Isn't that true,
Souya?
Kazama: ...... That is true in Miwa's case.
...... However I do not have any purpose such as taking revenge for my brother or something like that.

P15
Rindou: Oh?
Didn't you changed slightly after the expedition?
Kazama: I am still the same.
Just that I follow orders from Border to exterminate Neighbours.
Ever since the battle from last month,
Miwa seems to be troubled over something......
Rindou: What is that about?
Kazama: It's something that Arashiyama told him.
Eh...... What is that again...
Jin: I am really really sorry for being late.
Talented elite reporting in!
Shinoda: Good, everybody's here,
so let's enter the subject.

P16
Shinoda: The topic of this meeting is...
Regarding the prediction of the matter which will happen shortly...
A large scale Neighbour invasion.
Yuuma: Hmm---......

P17
(??? thinking): The white-haired guy from Tamakoma......!
(??? thinking): The one who finished the battle training within a second......!
Yuuma: According to Osamu...
This metal-like object appears to be money as well.
However,
compared to the metal one, the paper one has a higher value......
It's only paper......
Replica: Hmm.
From what I can tell...
Basically, when the numbers are bigger the size gets bigger.
Well, if metal were used,
it will cause the money to be heavier and inconvinient to bring around.
Could that be the reason that paper, which is lighter, is used instead?
Yuuma: Ohh......
I can roughly accept that.

P18
Yuuma: After buying stuff, the money increases...
This is a mystery...
Replica: It's called 「change」,
it gets smaller.
Yuuma: Ah!
Owh......?

P19
Miwa: Confused over our goods, eh......
Neighbour......!
Yuuma: You are......
The one with the 「Weight-increasing bullet」!
Left: What's in Miwa's mind!?
Bottom: Next issue, on the verge!? Facing Yuuma, Miwa will...!!
