Thanks to Matsuri's Psychicer friend Ian, Asaga is fully recovered. Everybody gathers together to learn how to use the reinforcement PSI "Rise"...but their teacher is...??

-I'm the strongest Rise user in all of Kantou*, Hyoudou Kagetora! (t/n - or, all of eastern japan)
-Ya'd best be thankful that the greatest man alive came to train yous all!
white: The Rise instructor arrives!!
CALL.27 - "Rise"
Iwashiro Toshiaki

-No matter how you cut it
-He's a mobster! (t/n - or yakuza)

-HEY! Whaddya thinkin'? I'm some kinda ruthless criminal?!
-Didn't yous mothers teach yous not to judge by appearances?!

-Get it straight! I, Kagetora, have never hurt ladies or childrens!
-I love cats!
-My favorite desert is dems Mont Blanc cakes!! (t/n - usually something that girls are into, i think)
-What, is he an idiot?

02
-Heh...I my life to sis over there...
-Back den, I was full of myself, didn't know my bounds...
-Oh no, here comes his life story...

-It was one cold, rainy night...
-Some rival ga--erg, I mean, some old granny on her way back from the store ran into me...I was half-dead lyin' in the back alley...

-I was lucky the bulle--I mean, dat the tires just missed my vital organs...but the blood wouldn't stop...
bubble: huff huff
-I thought...I was a goner...
bubble: This story doesn't sound right!!

-Yo buddy! You'll catch a cold laying there all soaked like that!
-Hey Ian! C'mere, I've got something to show ya!
bubble right: ngh...
left: ngah...

-gah...
-Gyahahahaha! He just won't stop moaning!

-Ever since den, I swore to live for sis' sake!
-See! Isn't he such a nice guy?
-But not the brightest...
-R-really...seems like a complete mobster to me... (t/n - or, yakuza)

03
-Hey everybody! Make sure not to talk about Psyren in front of him...or you'll die~
no bubble: huh
next to amamiya is "shh"

-Yosh!! Time to start training!
-If you wanna learn Rise, then there's only one thing to do!

-Just try to land a single hit on Kagetora's face!
-HAH!?
-Once you're able, you'll have already cleared the basics of Rise

-Kuku...No need to worry!
-I'll only use half my power on you alls!

-This is crazy, Matsuri-sensei!! How about at least explaining to us the trick to using it or something!?
-Yeah! Show us like you did when we were learning Burst!!
-You guys already know the trick

04
-The basics behind any PSI is to make a mental picture first
-And you can't learn Rise until you've figured out what it takes for you to make a stronger mental picture of yourself

-Right
-And dat's only learned by experience!

05
-Behind us?!

06
-What?
-I thought yous could do better den dat!

07
-YeOWOWOW!!
-What the heck do you think you're doing?!

-That's some crazy speed...
-Hah...we have to use our imagination? Get real!

-Listen to me, punk

-Haven'tcha realized dat your wounds have been healin' faster?
-Ever felt like you's at the top of your game?

-Da fact is...you've already been usin' Rise without realizin' it!
-It's not about whether yous got it or not...it's about you makin' yourself aware of dat fact!

-I'm sure that after bein' punched over and over
-you'll start to see somethin' in your mind...

08
-Fine! Bring it on!
-We'll give it a shot

-Right on! Show me what yous got!

-I think I'm better off watching for now
-I don't know the first thing about PSI!!
-Why are they making me fight too!? Why?!

-What?! You've actually been inside the Siren tower?!
-Yes...
-But only once

-That silver-haired man you mentioned, commanding over the Tavoo...
-Truth is, I also met him too...

09
-It was around the time I was called to Okayama...

-I tried sneaking into the tower for the first time...
-Some people inside found me and I was surrounded

-I'm positive that the silver-haired guy was one of them!
-Did you really think you'd leave here alive, woman?
-Just where did a rat like you come from?

10
-Hurry up and kill her, dholaki (ドルキ) (t/n - FINALLY FOUND IT ZOMG. Do you appreciate the work I do on these names...?? sigh. it's a classical North Indian, Pakistani/Nepalese hand drum. Wiki for more)

-We can't tolerate even the slightest sign of resistance

-We, the Wise, are the rulers of this world
-If you refuse to answer my questions, I won't hold back

11
-Hey! You guys stay out of this!
-She'll die, you know

-This rat is quite agile...

-huh?

12
-haa
-haa

-I ran for my life to the Gate
-That warning about not going near the tower unless you're strong on the back of our cards wasn't for nothing

-Sensei!! How could you!! Why did you keep such an important thing from me!?
-Didn't we promise?! Didn't we say we'd change the future together?!

-Then, this means you lied when you said approaching the tower will turn you to ash...
-I'm sorry, Sakurako
-How could you...

13
-I knew if I told you that you were sure to go inside on your own
-I wanted to keep you from doing something reckless...
-It was because I can't be there to help you--

-But you aren't alone any more, Sakurako

-No matter what kind of reckless stunt you may pull in the future
-You have friends willing to give their lives for you

-Cough!

-They're getting hammered...

-What's wrong? Yous guys are slowin' down!!

14
-It's not over yet!!

-Heh, they're all black and blue

-I can't believe how hard he hits! I lose my balance in just one hit from him!
-I'd have to move faster than him to have any hope of getting a hit in!

-I'll take him head on!
-All I need is to be able to take his punch
-And at that moment I can get a hit in!

-Hou...

15
-I can do it...!!

-It's about time!

-They're finally getting a concrete image

-Ageha-kun. If it hurts too much, I'm ready to hug you anytime
-QUIT TALKING THAT WAY!!

-Kirisaki-kun. I guess we'll use a different method for your train--
-Huh?

16
-Gimme a break!!
-Sure I'm interested in this PSI power thing but that was crazy!!

-box: imagination
right: But if I...
left: could use superpowers too..

-wait a sec...

-Maybe there is...
-There is a way...to make money without even trying! (t/n - uh oh...)

17
-GAH

-ngh...

-Maybe this was too much for them after all?

-So that's all you got, huh?!

18
-Sh...
-shit...

-YOSHINA!!

-GOTTA...DODGE...

19
-hahaha!

sfx bubble upper: garara (metal rods clanging)

-What did I...!?

-See? You can do it if you try

white text: An accident?! Or did Ageha actually use Rise just now?!
