Chapter 5: Battle 2: Versus the Bearer of Rain
Bubble 1: Well done on getting back. Bubble 2: That's the amazing sword, Tonbokiri, for you! Bubble 3: But will you be able to fight while protecting that girl?! Bubble 4: Heh!
Img006
Bubble 1: Ah! Bubble 2: W-wait! Bubble 3: Don’t run away! Bubble 4: What was with all that big talk before?! Bubble 5: Didn't you say, " You wanted a fight, so you'll get one!"?! Bubble 6: This is a strategic retreat! Bubble 7: What did you say?! Bubble 8: As if we'll let you go!
Img007
Bubble 1: Aaaahh, what WAS that?! My eyes hurt… Bubble 2: Tch!
Img008
Bubble 1: We lost them, somehow. Bubble 2: I apologize… Bubble 3: The reason you're having such a hard time against kids like them is due to my powerlessness… Bubble 4: A Sword's strength is based on the King's, and a King's strength is proportionate to the extent of territories that follow him or her. As I don't have any territory, you don't receive any powers. Bubble 5: I didn't care at all about taking over the country or whatever, so I didn't think I needed any domain, But if this is going to happen, then maybe I should have taken King Shino's domain back then…
Img009
Bubble 1: If you're looking for strength, you've got it. Bubble 2: When I break is when you fall, right? Bubble 3: …Yeah. Bubble 4: I will never let you die! Bubble 5: So I will never break! Bubble 6: That Is my power!
Img010
Text: That's right! Text: The role of a King is not just handing down the power of a domain to the Sword. Bubble 1: Tonbokiri. Text: Giving the Sword adequate instructions is an important part of being a King, too! Bubble 2: All right, we know their ability is a high maneuverability that makes it seem they're gliding across the water. Bubble 3: But I don't think they'll attack you, being cautious of a frontal counterattack. Bubble 4: Yeah. But them circling around me is a pain. Bubble 5: But if we lure them to a place where they can't make the best of their abilities… Bubble 6: You mean someplace narrow? Bubble 7: Like a classroom or a hallway? Bubble 8: No! If they move that freely, they would just move around you three-dimensionally. Bubble 9: The woods would restrict our attacks, too. Bubble 10: The ideal would be to have shorter height to work with, And create unstable obstacles where they couldn't get a good footholds…
Img011
Bubble 1: That's it! Bubble 2: All right, I've got this. Bubble 3: Wa-, hold on! Bubble 4: This is an order! You stay here! Bubble 5: What?!
Img012
Bubble 1: Swords do not give orders to Kings! Bubble 2: Swords and Kings were formally men and women. Bubble 3: Sorry. Bubble 4: But if we're together, I can't protect you. Text: Ahh… Bubble 5: Heeey, Orine-chan, are they really over here? Bubble 6: Mm…probably. Bubble 7: You understan? Until I get back, you stay right here.
Img013
Bubble 1: Ah! Bubble 2: There he is! Bubble 3: After him, Orine-chan! Bubble 4: Wait up! Text: That's true, Text: He was correct in his judgment… Text: If someone like me stood at his side, unable to give him any power, I would only be a hindrance… Text: Especially like today, I can't fight satisfactorily against opponents directly aiming for the King…
Img014
Text: If I go about this the wrong way, then he might end up like Aina… Text: What fight between kings? Text: I've only been protected thus far… Text: Just like now, I'm hiding myself in the shadows without doing a single thing… Text: That there could be a King like this is laughable…
Img015
Text: I can't Text: Do this! Text: Besides, I am a King! Text: As a King, I must carry out my duties! Bubble 1: There you are. Bubble 2: Ah! Bubble 3: What Bubble 4: Are you doing someplace like this?
Img016
Bubble 1: What's wrong, Tonbokiri? Not running away anymore? Bubble 2: Nah. Bubble 3: This is the end of the line. Bubble 4: Hmmm… So you chose to die in a graveyard. Bubble 5: How clever of you. You've saved us the trouble of carrying you here. Bubble 6: It would seem your King got away, Bubble 7: But allow us to hunt her down for you later. Bubble 8: You won't know if you can if you don't fight me.
Img017
Bubble 1: No King, no weapon, just a muscle-bound fool! Bubble 2: This is our win! Bubble 3: Wah! Bubble 4: Whoa, whoa… Bubble 5: Kya! Bubble 6: How 's that for you? Bubble 7: You can't use those feet you're oh so proud of. Bubble 8: Kuh! Bubble 9: Using a place like this to fight!
Img018
Bubble 1: Hold off on the battle! Bubble 2: Eh?! Bubble 3: Ah?! Bubble 4: Sh- Bubble 5: Shino-onee-sama!
Img019
Bubble 1: What the hell are you two doing? Bubble 2: I was going home to keep this from no happening, and yet here you two are, running about everywhere! Bubble 3: B-but, esteemed sister… Bubble 4: Silence! Bubble 5: I do not wish to hear any of your unsightly excuses. Bubble 6: Even more, you have sullied my good name. Bubble 7: Uuu… Bubble 8: Aauuh… Bubble 9: We're so sorry! We will perform hara-kiri in apology! (TN: Hara-kiri is the cutting of one's stomach to maintain honor.) Bubble 10: All right, do it! I will give you the kaishaku! (TN: Kaishaku is the beheading of a person who has performed hara-kiri.)
Img020
Bubble 1: Wait, King Shino. Bubble 2: What they did was reasonable. Bubble 3: No one wants to be controlled by a King inferior to themselves. Bubble 4: As such, Bubble 5: We will continue this battle until everything is settled.
Img021
Bubble 1: What?! Bubble 2: I understand. Bubble 3: Well, I was a bit hasty. Bubble 4: Onei, Orine! You're lucky the King in charge is so lenient! Bubble 5: Fight them to the best of your abilities! Bubble 6: Uhh, okay, I don't really get what's going on, but it seems we were acquitted of charges… Bubble 7: And now we're allowed to kill them? Bubble 8: Lucky! Bubble 9: Wh-whoa now, stay over there near Shino-san. Bubble 10: Tonbokiri, crouch down a bit. Bubble 11: Hm? Like this?
Img022
Bubble 1: Ow… Bubble 2: What the hell did you do that for?!
Img023
Bubble 1: You understand me? Bubble 2: Don't ever do that again! Bubble 3: I am the King! Bubble 4: I don't want To let my Sword fight alone, as only I hide away in some safe place! Bubble 5: If I did that, and was the only to come out alive, I could never forgive myself.
Img024
Bubble 1: You are my Sword! I gave you the famous name, Tonbokiri! Bubble 2: So, no matter who you are fighting, protect me and win! Bubble 3: Geez… Bubble 4: There you go, talking crazy…
Img025
Bubble 1: But! Bubble 2: You're right – I'm not a man if I can't do that! Bubble 3: Hahahaha! I'm sorry about earlier. Bubble 4: Like you said, you are my King. Bubble 5: All right then! Bubble 6: Huuuh, Are they done now? Bubble 7: Now, time to easily turn this around! Bubble 8: Yeah!
Img026
Bubble 1: So? You really can't hit a woman? Bubble 2: That's my policy. Bubble 3: Geez… Bubble 4: He's right…the one thing differentiating between the two is that the King is physically a normal woman. Bubble 5: Fine. I'll deal with the King. Bubble 6: You can tell the difference between the two of them? That was my biggest problem…
Img027
Bubble 1: It's simple. Bubble 2: Doesn’t matter who you attack, but if you do it properly, the Sword is bound to use her ability to defend. Bubble 3: Just like that?!
Img028
Bubble 1: This is the King! Bubble 2: Onei-chan! Bubble 3: You won't get past me. Bubble 4: I am your opponent!
Img029
Bubble 1: Move, you muscle-bound fool! Bubble 2: Whoa!
Img030
Text: What? Text: Water? Text: They're drops of water?! Bubble 1: FLYING WATER BULLETS! Bubble 2: Attacking with raindrops moving so fast that they're like bullets is a special technique of a Rain Bearer. Bubble 3: Seems she's improved a bit. Bubble 4: Shit! Shooting one bullet after another is amazingly effective! Bubble 5: If this keeps up… Bubble 6: Ahahaha! What's the matter, Tonbokiri?!
Img031
Bubble 1: You truly do have amazing strength, Bubble 2: But Bubble 3: You can't attack me from outside your range! Bubble 4: Tonbokiri! Bubble 5: You don't really have the time to pay him any attention, do you?! Bubble 6: Ahaha! I wish we could've done this from the start! Onei-chan, wait for me, okay? I'll take down this guy and meet you over there! Bubble 7: Sure! Bubble 8: Kuh!
Img032
Bubble 1: What now? Bubble 2: What should I do?! Bubble 3: If I could just get a weapon over to Tonbokiri… Bubble 4: Tonbokiri! Bubble 5: Draw that sword!
Img033
Bubble 1: What?! Bubble 2: That one over there! Next to the indigo-colored one! Bubble 3: This one?! Bubble 4: Like a Japanese sword can make up for your reach! Bubble 5: HN!
Img035
Bubble 1: Wha… Bubble 2: What is that… Bubble 3: Hmmm. Bubble 4: That's… Text: That sword exceeds four meters long and looks almost as if it were a spear. Text: It cuts a stopped dragonfly in two. Text: The name of that sword is Tonbokiri, a marvelous sword unrivaled in the entire world! Bubble 5: That sword has been buried in the dirt for a long time! I'm going to smash it to pieces! Bubble 6: A true sword Bubble 7: Will never break!
Img036
Bubble 1: It will never decay! Bubble 2: Will never rust! Bubble 3: Iyaaa… Bubble 4: That's against the rules…
Img038
Bubble 1: Orine-chan! Bubble 2: Ah…
Img039
Bubble 1: So, what are you going to do? Bubble 2: Want to continue? Bubble 3: Orine-chan… Bubble 4: We… Bubble 5: We give up.
Img040
Bubble 1: But, all things considered, Bubble 2: This is the beloved sword of the Tonbokiri of old, huh… Bubble 3: The more I look at it, the more amazing a sword it looks. Bubble 4: How could you, King Homura? If you had something like available, why didn't you give it to Tonbokiri earlier? Bubble 5: Don't look at me. I didn't think he'd be able to use it. Bubble 6: What?! Bubble 7: You wouldn't normally think a sword buried in the ground for so long could be used. Bubble 8: I also hadn't checked for myself to see if it really was the famed sword of years past. Bubble 9: Well, yeah, but, you could tell out this sword out of all the swords in the mountain, couldn't you? Bubble 10: …I could never mistake that sword.
Img041
Bubble 1: Next to where that sword was is the indigo mounted sword. Bubble 2: Aina lays sleeping below there. Bubble 3: By Aina, you mean… Bubble 4: Yes. Bubble 5: The one who was my Sword before you. Bubble 6: I knew of the rumor about you losing a sword almost immediately after you enrolled. Bubble 7: But what actually happened back then?
Img042
Bubble 1: Every new student participated in a battle after the entrance ceremony Bubble 2: Just like these two fools, there were a number of people who breached the agreement. Originally, no one was supposed to lose their lives. Bubble 3: That day… Bubble 4: We were on our way back home after taking commemorative photos in our new senior high uniforms… Bubble 5: And we were suddenly ambushed by a number of people… Bubble 6: What?! Bubble 7: What was that?! Bubble 8: But the breach was supposed to be a good thing!
Img043
Bubble 1: Did you report it to the committee?! Bubble 2: Yes, of course. Bubble 3: But they didn't give me the time of day. Your opponent was wrong, go make them apologize, they said. Bubble 4: What the…? Bubble 5: Who was your opponent…? Bubble 6: Imagawa Soushun. Bubble 7: More than of the eastern region, over 5,733,000 cubic feet, are all under his reign and that of his Swords.
Img044
Bubble 1: Hey, Onei-chan, is she talking about THAT Imagawa? Bubble 2: Yeah. Bubble 3: Is he that big a deal? Bubble 4: I see now. Of course the committee would overlook him. Bubble 5: I hate to say this, a weak land like the Kuga Keep may be annihilated through the breach of contract, But that guy would be the closest to being the ruler of the entire country. Bubble 6: You've more or less grasped an understanding of your situation. Bubble 7: So, the reason why you want to accomplish what you spoke of before is because… Bubble 8: Yes. Bubble 9: I could care less about ruling the entire country.
Img045
Bubble 1: My goal is Imagawa Soushun's head! Bubble 2: I will avenge Aina! Bubble 3: That is why Bubble 4: I want you to lend me strength.
Img046
Bubble 1: Hah! Bubble 2: Ridiculous! Bubble 3: I find it hard to believe that my master at present Bubble 4: Has utterly no desire to take over the country! Bubble 5: Count me in. Bubble 6: Bringing down Imagawa is the quickest way to reigning over the country, after all. Bubble 7: King Shino…
Img047
Bubble 1: I'm in this, too! Bubble 2: Tonbokiri! Bubble 3: I don't really get all of this, but even though this Imagawa guy is so strong, he's playing foul! Bubble 4: People like him really piss me off! Bubble 5: Thank you.
Img048
Bubble 1: If Shino-onee-sama is helping, we will too! Bubble 2: No! You two are not of age to battle yet! Bubble 3: Eeeeeeeeeeeh. Bubble 4: Seems like you haven't reflected on your actions from the last battle… Bubble 5: And she's a weirdo on top of everything else… Bubble 6: At any rate, I got a handle on your goal and feel pretty refreshed.
Img049
Bubble 1: Our enemy is Imagawa! Bubble 2: Aim for being the best in all the country! https://mangahelpers.com/t/teishou/releases/32563[English] [Translation] Ware wa Ken-oh!! 4 by Teishou2011-12-12T20:36:05+00:00Teishouadmin@mangahelpers.comWare wa Ken-Oh! Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Battle 2: Versus the Bearer of Rain
Text: I don't recall my parents' faces all that well. Box 1: Before I was old enough to understand what was going on, I was recognized as having the ability of a King And was summoned to the Kuga household for that very reason. Box 2: The Kuga household was a lesser daimyo in the eastern region, And aside of myself, close to twenty other King candidates were there, Box 3: But, I was the single person remaining from a competition between everyone. Box 4: And then, Bubble 1: From here forth, you can use me as your Sword.
Img146
Bubble 1: Up until my very death. Box 1: I entered into a contract with her. Text: I was so happy. Box 2: From that day forth, no matter what we did, we were always together. Box 3: If I was together with Aina, no matter how difficult the training, we always withstood it. Box 4: And then, without really knowing why, I dreamed of unifying the entire country.
Img147
Text: But then… Bubble 1: A- Bubble 2: Aina…? Bubble 3: No… Bubble 4: This can't be… Bubble 5: IYAAAAAHHH!
Img148
Bubble 1: A dream… Bubble 2: I still can't get over… Bubble 3: That horrible dream… Bubble 4: Are you okay? You were having pretty bad dream. Bubble 5: Oh, yeah, I'm fine.
Img149
Bubble 1: Wha… Bubble 2: Wha-wha-wha-wha… Bubble 3: You! What are you doing in my bed?! Bubble 4: UGYAAAH! Bubble 5: Wait a sec! You were half-asleep and crawled into my futon last night! Bubble 6: Huh? Bubble 7: Ah… Bubble 8: Aaaahh! Bubble 9: Geez…
Img150
Bubble 1: Ugh… Bubble 2: Haaah… Bubble 3: Quiet, you! I'm sorry about this morning! Bubble 4: I don't really care about it. Bubble 5: But what the hell is going on with this school? Bubble 6: You were admitted into the school and you know that we switched to the same class, But this thing about girls and boys sharing the same dorm room Bubble 7: Is not something I can do anything about! That's how everything was decided! Bubble 8: You're my Sword, and it's only natural that we always be together. Bubble 9: Always together, huh…?
Img151
Bubble 1: Speaking of which, I'd heard this school was loaded, but everywhere I look is really upscale. Bubble 2: I thought the dorm rooms would all be small and have bunk beds Bubble 3: That's what the junior high and regular student's dorms are like. Bubble 4: Though I am weak, since I'm now a King, I was given that dorm room. Bubble 5: Our meals are supposed to be different from a normal student's too. Bubble 6: Hmm. Quite the warm welcome. Bubble 7: Seeing as Kings and Swords are representatives from all over the country. Bubble 8: But also because Bubble 9: We don't know what battle we may die in.
Img152
Bubble 1: Mmm, what lovely weather. On top of that, today's been rather quiet. Bubble 2: Oh yeah, speaking of which, where is Shino-senpai? Bubble 3: King Shino is going back to her home country starting this weekend. Bubble 4: Back home? Bubble 5: Well, a country of Higo's level is suddenly following someone of a low rank like me. Bubble 6: It's causing all kinds of disputes internally. Bubble 7: Hey, look at that. Bubble 8: It's King Homura. Bubble 9: Unbelievable, rising up from Rank F just once and only by using that Sword's strength. Bubble 10: She appears to be very, very pleased she came upon such a fine Sword. Bubble 11: But how did she manage to get him? Bubble 12: Maybe she sold her body. Ahahah. Bubble 13: Kuh!
Img153
Bubble 1: Forget about them. Bubble 2: I wasn't really concerned over them. Bubble 3: It doesn't matter what they say. Bubble 4: This way. Bubble 5: Let's take a shortcut. Bubble 6: What is this place?
Img154
Bubble 1: It's the remains of the old shutdown school building and the grave sites from the previous battle. Bubble 2: Until everyone graduates, the fallen Kings and Swords will be retained here. Bubble 3: Grave sites?! Bubble 4: All of these are graves?! Bubble 5: I get what's going on now. Bubble 6: That's why no one comes through here even though it's quicker.
Img155
Bubble 1: That's true. No one takes a liking to disturbing the rest of the dead. Bubble 2: But I wonder about Shorty over there. Bubble 3: There are two things about Kuga Homura that really stand out… Bubble 4: Her Chinese hair bands and Tonbokiri. Bubble 5: Just kidding. Bubble 6: Did I scare you? Bubble 7: Akikusa! Bubble 8: Ahahaha. Don't get so mad. Bubble 9: Even if you do, nothing good's going to come out of it.
Img156
Bubble 1: Morning, Shorty, Hongou-kun. Bubble 2: Or, should I be calling you Tonbokiri now? Bubble 3: Call me what you want. Bubble 4: Okay. Bubble 5: Hmmm. Bubble 6: But, well, you know… Bubble 7: D-don't stare at me like that. Bubble 8: You got a really rough and tough name. Bubble 9: Tonbikiri is the name of a legendary sword in Shorty's family. Bubble 10: Sword? Bubble 11: An heirloom. Bubble 12: A person is a treasure, And as such, A Sword.
Img157
Bubble 1: Tonbokiri is a name so legendary that it hasn't been used for generations so as to not sully it. You're quite bold to use it. Bubble 2: What name to use is at the discretion of the King, King Ichirou. Bubble 3: I guess you're right. Bubble 4: Should a dragonfly rest its wings on the edge of the sword, the sword will split in completely in two. Bubble 5: The name of that marvelous sword is Tonbokiri. A sword absolutely unparalleled in the world! Bubble 6: It's said the Tonbokiri used last generation is now especially held sacred in these graves. Bubble 7: Well, for a King's Sword, a sword carries a strong connotation of courtesy, Bubble 8: But as far as that thing goes…
Img158
Bubble 1: It's got amazing destructive power! Bubble 2: Well, whatever works… Bubble 3: Oh man. Bubble 4: Class is starting. Let's get going. Bubble 5: Akikusa, You sure know a lot about stuff. Bubble 6: Suppose so. Bubble 7: My hobby is appreciating of various amazing swords, after all. Bubble 8: …So you're a King, too. Bubble 9: More or less. Bubble 10: There are times I've been called a devoted fool, though.
Img159
Bubble 1: So? Bubble 2: Is your Sword strong? Bubble 3: Man, you're really something else. Bubble 4: I have one point of advice for you. Bubble 5: Hm? Bubble 6: Be careful in the rain. Bubble 7: Seems like it's going to pour today. Bubble 8: Rain? Bubble 9: There's not a single cloud in the sky.
Img160
Bubble 1: It really did start raining. Bubble 2: Hm? Bubble 3: Children?
Img161
Bubble 1: What are they doing out in the rain? Bubble 2: WHOA! Bubble 3: Uwaah! Bubble 4: Kyaa! Bubble 5: What?!
Img163
Bubble 1: Are you the one who defeated King Shino of Higo? Bubble 2: That's me! Bubble 3: My name is Kuga Homura! Bubble 4: Are you Tonbokiri, Hongou Yoshiaki?! Bubble 5: Are you positively him?!
Img164
Bubble 1: Ummm… Bubble 2: Is this a battle between you Kings? Bubble 3: What power does a Rank F have? Bubble 4: So you must have been the one to take down our esteemed sister! Bubble 5: I am the former retainer of the Ikeuchi keep, Onei! Bubble 6: Likewise, I am her Sword, Orine!
Img165
Bubble 1: Here we come! Bubble 2: Uwah! Bubble 3: Kyaa! Bubble 4: Shit! Bubble 5: You're going to fight here?!
Img166
Bubble 1: Ah! Bubble 2: Follow me! Bubble 3: We're fighting outside! Bubble 4: You think we'll let you get away?! Bubble 5: Maaan, and I went through the trouble of warning him and everything, and he still went in to the rain. Bubble 6: King Ichirou.
Img167
Bubble 1: Pay close attention to that. Bubble 2: Whoa! Bubble 3: Hongou-kun's feet are getting stuck in the mud, and his power isn't communicating well with the ground. Bubble 4: Damn! Bubble 5: Those two Bubble 6: Orine-chan, hurry! Bubble 7: Okay!
Img168
Bubble 1: Are freely moving around across the water, as if they were glidng. Bubble 2: Those girls are the Rain Bearers. Bubble 3: They called upon this rain, too. Bubble 4: Well, it won't be much of a match to a Sword of Tonbokiri's level, Bubble 5: But it's not really the best of circumstances for him. Bubble 6: On top of that, his opponents are those little girls.
Img169
Bubble 1: You kids! If you're going to just run around…!
Img170
Bubble 1: You don’t have a weapon now. Bubble 2: Whatever will you do, Tonbokiri? Bubble 3: You wanted a fight, so you'll get one!
Img171
Bubble 1: Oh, good. If you were a Sword that was going to run just from this, Bubble 2: It would make our sister who you beat look rather pathetic Bubble 3: Let me tell you something. Bubble 4: Why are relatives of my upperclassman gunning for me? Bubble 5: It's obvious. That our esteemed sister is following a Rank F of all things is intolerable! Bubble 6: Even if she accepts her defeat, we never will! Bubble 7: So we will kill you and return our esteemed sister to he former glory!
Bubble 1: You fool! What are you doing?! Bubble 2: Enough with your crazy talk… Like I can hit a child!
Img174
Bubble 1: Unbelievable! Bubble 2: That pervert! Bubble 3: Ahaha, did you hear that? Bubble 4: Could he be a guy who won't hit a woman? Bubble 5: Relax, girls. I'll be sure to give the Sword over there a good scolding. Bubble 6: How ludicrous! Can you tell the difference between the two of us?!
Img176
Bubble 1: HOMURA! Bubble 2: Tch! Bubble 3: She made a wall of water and diverted the bullet's trajectory! Bubble 4: The Rank F. Bubble 5: Inexcusable, bringing a gun into a King's fight. Bubble 6: Change of plans.
Img177
Bubble 1: Start with killing her!
Img178
Bubble 1: Guh! Bubble 2: Tonbokiri! Bubble 3: Well done on getting back in time! That's the amazing sword, Tonbokiri, for you! Bubble 4: But you can you protect that woman while fighting us?! Bubble 5: Heh.

Chapter 3: Battle 1: Bearer of Flames 3
Img108
Bubble 1: A balance beam?
Img109
Bubble 1: You… Bubble 2: Honestly plan to fight with that thing? Bubble 3: Even though you have entered into a contract with her, the girl does not hold any territory. Bubble 4: I know you cannot use any powers yet. Bubble 5: You honestly have no chance of handling that nearly 100 kg beam. Bubble 6: Then let's put it to the test. Bubble 7: HM.
Img111
Bubble 1: If you have muscles built up enough, Bubble 2: Then nothing is impossible!
Img112
Bubble 1: Mistress. Bubble 2: Indeed. Talk is cheap. Bubble 3: Tsubakimaru! Bubble 4: Kill them with all of your strength! Bubble 5: As you wish!
Img113
Bubble 1: He's coming. Stand back a bit. Bubble 2: All right… Bubble 3: I pray for your success. Bubble 4: And believe in the power of my Sword. Bubble 5: Count on me.
Img114
Text: He's challenging Tsubakimaru's flames with the long reach of his weapon… Not a bad strategy. Text: Not one of the opponents I've done away with could even get close to Tsubakimaru.
Img115
Text: However, Text: The overall length of that beam is five meters. Text: Attacking Tsubakimaru from that distance Text: Won't be enough!
Img116
Bubble 1: SWORD OF COMBUSTION!
Img117
Bubble 1: Kuh
Img118
Bubble 1: He dodged it! Bubble 2: He planned to dodge and reduce the distance between them all at once?! Bubble 3: OOHHHH! Bubble 4: Take this!
Img119
Text: Crap! He already drew back his katana! Text: Don't tell me that big technique Text: Was a string of attacks?!
Img120
Bubble 1: And so it ends.
Img121
Bubble 1: Despite being a fine Sword, after taking that blast, Bubble 2: He's dead. Bubble 3: You see how disappointing that turned out? Bubble 4: Now then. Bubble 5: It's your turn. Bubble 6: Are you ready?
Img122
Bubble 1: Don't you think it a bit early to say that? Bubble 2: This battle is not yet over. Bubble 3: What? Bubble 4: Impossible!
Img123
Bubble 1: Amazing! Bubble 2: With that timing, he thrust the beam into the ground in an instant and avoided the blast?! Bubble 3: But at this distance, he could…?! Bubble 4: GO, TONBOKIRI!
Img125
Bubble 1: OHHHHH!
Img126
Bubble 1: GWAH! Bubble 2: Ugh…
Img127
Bubble 1: Tsubakimaru! Bubble 2: I…apologize, Mistress… Bubble 3: Stay with me! Bubble 4: King Shino. Bubble 5: Your Sword has broken. Bubble 6: This is our win.

Bubble 1: What are you talking about?! I can still fight! Bubble 2: I can fight! Bubble 3: Guh… Bubble 4: Whoa now, don't push yourself too hard. Your right arm and a few ribs are shot, you know. Bubble 5: Tsubakimaru, enough. Bubble 6: But! Bubble 7: You worked hard. You have served me well. Bubble 8: No, you can't… Mistress…
Img129
Bubble 1: King Homura, I accept Bubble 2: My defeat. Bubble 3: Kill me.
Img130
Bubble 1: Haaah… Bubble 2: Good grief. Bubble 3: Easily killing people, Bubble 4: And if you lose, you quickly die. Bubble 5: Doesn't anything about that strike you as wrong? Bubble 6: I'll fight battles, But sorry, killing people leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Bubble 6: Don't make me say it over and over again! That's the kind of place this school is! Bubble 7: In addition, this is a conversation between Kings. You are not to interfere. Bubble 8: WHA… What did you just say?! Bubble 9: Calm yourself, Tonbokiri. Bubble 10: As King Shino said, that's what this place is like.
Img131
Bubble 1: King Homura, I have but one last request. Out of consideration for my life, might you save Tsubakimaru's? Bubble 2: Mistress! Bubble 3: However this fight may have gone, do you not think you're asking for too much when you have murdered countless others to this day? Bubble 4: You're right. Bubble 5: I cannot dispute that. Bubble 6: However, Tsubakimaru is only a Sword. He simply executed my orders. Bubble 7: All responsibility goes to me, the King. Bubble 8: I have always listened to the last requests of those I kill. Bubble 9: I'm sorry, but I will not hear out your request. Bubble 10: …I see… Bubble 11: Then there is nothing more to be done…
Img132
Bubble 1: I have never planned to kill either of you in the first place. Bubble 2: King Homura… Bubble 3: What…did you just say? Bubble 4: I said I hadn't thought to kill you or Tsubakimaru.
Img133
Bubble 1: DON'T PLAY AROUND WITH ME! Bubble 2: My Sword is broken. Beaten, by you, a Rank F! Bubble 3: While I'm terrified at being killed whenever, wherever and by whomever, You going to make me live on in disgrace?! Bubble 4: Or what then?! Bubble 5: You and that muscle-bound fool were never prepared to kill me at all?! Bubble 6: I see… Bubble 7: That's what you meant…
Img134
Bubble 1: Well, if you can't do it…!
Img135
Bubble 1: Ah…
Img136
Bubble 1: You… Bubble 2: Why? Bubble 3: Ouch… Bubble 4: Stop this, King Shino. Bubble 5: I had not planned to take away your territory, either. Bubble 6: And as for you, yourself, Bubble 7: Until your Sword fully recovers, my Tonbokiri will protect you to the best of his ability. Bubble 8: You say you don't need my territory? Then what are you possibly getting out of this? Bubble 9: Could you be…?!
Img137
Bubble 1: King Shino, Bubble 2: Become my vassal. Bubble 3: There are many things I must do no matter what, Bubble 4: And to do so, I will need a large amount of power. Bubble 5: King Shino, I was wondering if you might lend me your strength.
Img138
Bubble 1: Hahahahahahaha! Bubble 2: You two are a real piece of work! Bubble 3: You said you don't need my territory, did you not? Bubble 4: And you're going to take me into your service, as lacking in domain as you are? Bubble 5: That’s nothing short of like a foot soldier taking into service a daimyo! Bubble 6: Yes, you're right. Bubble 7: But, Bubble 8: I have Tonbokiri by my side. Bubble 9: I came here to become the very best through my own strength! Bubble 10: I don't need any territory's weirdo powers! Bubble 11: …That sounds just like you.
Img139
Bubble 1: We may revolt against you once Tsubakimaru heals, you know. Bubble 2: I don't care. Bubble 3: When that time comes, Bubble 4: Yeah. Bubble 5: You'll wish you'd never crossed us.
Img140
Bubble 1: Well, aside of that, When you get better, let's have another battle, upperclassman. Bubble 2: King Homura. Bubble 3: I acknowledge you. Bubble 4: I, representative of Higo, Ukeuchi Shino, pledge service to you, King Homura.
Img141
Bubble 1: Hey, look at that. Bubble 2: It's King Homura. Bubble 3: Seems like she beat down King Shino and has her as a follower now. Bubble 4: Wow. She was only a Rank F up until yesterday, and now she's jumped up to daimyo class.
Img142
Bubble 1: Hey, over there! Bubble 2: Stop flirting with my Sword! Bubble 3: But my Tsubakimaru is in the hospital right now! Bubble 4: Even though I have domain, I don't have a Sword, so I'm easy prey. Bubble 5: Didn't you and this boy say you would protect me yesterday? Bubble 6: I…I did say that, yes…
Img143
Bubble 1: Besides, I've come to like this boy! Mmm, what lovely muscles! Bubble 2: Huh? Bubble 3: Wh- Wha-wha-wha-wha-what?! Bubble 4: What say you? How about becoming my Sword instead of being with that short and ugly girl over there? Bubble 5: You have Tsubakimaru already, don't you? Bubble 6: No matter. Nothing says that a King is limited to only one Sword. Bubble 7: Oh yeah? Bubble 8: I'll give you amazing service… Bubble 9: Ah well, hahahaha… Bubble 10: Ahahah, unbelievable. Bubble 11: That my Sword would be this lecherous and unprincipled… Bubble 12: H-hey now… You were still holding onto a gun…? Bubble 13: What's more, aren't you a bit bigger than before?
Img144
Bubble 1: It's not a problem. Bubble 2: You can stand this much. Bubble 3: Kyaaa! I can't believe she's actually shooting at us! Bubble 4: Hiiiiii! Bubble 5: Quiet, you womanizer! You pervert! https://mangahelpers.com/t/teishou/releases/32525[English] [Translation] Ware wa Ken-oh!! 2 by Teishou2011-12-11T00:34:49+00:00Teishouadmin@mangahelpers.comWare wa Ken-Oh! Chapter 2
Chapter 2: Battle 1: Bearer of Flames 2
Img067
Bubble 1: Do it, Tsubakimaru.
Img068
Bubble 1: You okay? Bubble 2: Aside from feeling like a little girl… Bubble 3: I'm talking about your condition here. You can save how you feel or whatever for later. Bubble 4: I'm fine, already! Just let go of me!
Img069
Bubble 1: Guh… Bubble 2: Eh?! Bubble 3: What's… Bubble 4: Ah… Text: Did he…take the blow for me…? Bubble 5: Like taking candy from a baby. So there was a King over here even. Bubble 6: This year's crop of students are rather low-leveled… How unbecoming. Bubble 7: Hmph. I figured this morning's explosion was your handiwork. Bubble 8: Ahh…! Bubble 9: This… Bubble 10: Can't be…
Img070
Text: What luck… Text: To run into King Shino here… Text: Their level… Text: Is way out of our league… Bubble 1: Mistress, the two are still breathing. Bubble 2: What shall we do with them? Bubble 3: To think they could withstand Tsubakimaru's flames… Bubble 4: Truly, being so sturdy is their one saving grace.
Img071
Bubble 1: Kill them. Bubble 2: They have no reason to continue living. Bubble 3: Understood. Bubble 4: W- Wait! Bubble 5: They weren't fit to keep fighting anymore. Bubble 6: There wasn't any need to kill them, was there? Bubble 7: Oh? You are surprisingly kind.
Img072
Bubble 1: However, this is what we do here. Bubble 2: People of unusual abilities are gathered here and aim to hold supremacy as representatives from all parts of the country. These are the turbulent times of rivalries between different Kings. Bubble 3: Everyone enters the school as either a King or a Sword. Bubble 4: You are meant to prepare yourself for it. Bubble 5: You do appear convinced yet. Bubble 6: All right then. Bubble 7: Please look at the state of the premises from where you are.
Img073
Bubble 1: HI Bubble 2: HIIII! Bubble 3: GUAAAH! Bubble 4: Within three days of the start of the school year, thirty percent of the new students either die, or are incapable of recovering and are sent to the hospital. Bubble 5: The remaining seventy percent surrender and bow down to other Kings. From the very start, powerful Kings have been joining in alliance with one another.
Img074
Bubble 1: Those two over there are supposed to be allied with Matsudaira's keep. Bubble 2: You'll go to war with Matsudaira for this. Bubble 3: I could care less. Bubble 4: Look how unsightly they are, after all. Bubble 5: Rather, the problem lays with you two. Bubble 6: I went through the trouble of advising you, and yet, here you are. Bubble 7: I'm completely befuddled. Bubble 8: Were you alone, I'd let this pass, But it's a completely different story with the Rank F, the so-called King here.
Img075
Bubble 1: This is a battlefield. Bubble 2: All ignorant, powerless And unbeautiful people will die. Bubble 3: WAIT!
Img076
Bubble 1: What do you mean by this, Rank F? Bubble 2: King Shino! This person does not know a single thing! Bubble 3: Yes, Bubble 4: That's true. Bubble 5: However, that boy has the makings of being a great Sword. Bubble 6: A rank you cannot possibly ever reach. Bubble 7: You were going to deceive into making a contract with you, weren't you? Bubble 8: That is the only way you could obtain a magnificent sword with your class. Bubble 9: No… Bubble 10: I wasn't…
Img077
Bubble 1: You have no pride as a King who may eventually unite this country together! Bubble 2: That is why you are a Rank F! Bubble 3: Guh… Text: I have no chance in a fight against them… Text: Doesn't seem like I can run away either… Text: The only thing I can do as a King right now is… Bubble 4: King Shino… At the very least, spare this person… Bubble 5: Enough. Bubble 6: Do you think you're able to negotiate terms with a higher rank? Bubble 7: I Beg of you.
Img078
Bubble 1: Fine.
Img079
Bubble 1: Kill yourself by jumping off the roof over there. Bubble 2: Take your life with complete sincerity.
Img080
Bubble 1: Whoa… Hey… Bubble 2: Ah…
Img081
Text: I'm sorry, Aina. Text: I suppose I really couldn't win… Text: But… Text: This is fine by me, Text: Aina.
Img082
Bubble 1: Wha?!
Img083
Bubble 1: Ah… Bubble 2: You fool! What are you doing?! Bubble 3: The fool here is you, you stupid woman! Bubble 4: Seriously… Bubble 5: Don’t leave the guy mixed up in all of this high and dry and just keep on with your conversation! Bubble 6: Like I said, you have no place in this. Bubble 7: Yeah I do. I was right there with you. Bubble 8: Well, Like usual, I have no clue of what's going on.
Img084
Bubble 1: But, I DO know you're a good person. Bubble 2: Fool… Bubble 3: I'd meant to honor my promise with King Shino… Bubble 4: You alone could have kept on living… Bubble 5: HMPH. What's the worth in a life like that?! Bubble 6: As a man, there's zero value in living by Bubble 7: Being saved by a little girl going as far as leaping off a building to her death!
Img085
Bubble 1: Calling me "little" was unnecessary! Completely uncalled for! Bubble 2: Oh well…sorry about that.
Img086
Bubble 1: You're going to die in vain. Bubble 2: Even you cannot escape the flames of Tsubaki. Bubble 3: Fine by me! Bubble 4: Tsubakimaru!
Img087
Bubble 1: Gyaaaa!
Img088
Bubble 1: Kuh!
Img089
Bubble 1: Guooh!
Img090
Bubble 1: He's quite the guy. Bubble 2: Through a sense of justice, he put his life on the line for her. Bubble 3: Put me down! I can run on my own! Bubble 4: He is a Sword far too good for King Homura. Bubble 5: This way is faster. Bubble 6: Are you letting them go? Bubble 7: No. Bubble 8: We're going after them. Bubble 9: Killing them here would have been far kinder.
Img091
Bubble 1-2: Hah Bubble 3: Sheesh, they don't know when to give up. Bubble 4: Hah Bubble 5: They catch up to us so quickly, no matter where we go. Bubble 6: King Shino's Tsubakimaru, apart from his flames, really does seem to have a directional sensing ability as people say… Bubble 7: In which case, there's not really a point in us hiding… Bubble 8: We shouldn't stay here! We'll be roasted from the outside in! Bubble 9: Heh.
Img092
Bubble 1: We came because there's something in here I want. Bubble 2: I don't know the fundamentals behind it, but the explosions are about four meters across in diameter. Bubble 3: The ignition and secondary spread of flames will be all on the outside… Bubble 4: Ah… Bubble 5: Uu… Bubble 6: Uuuu… Bubble 7: Don’t cry… Are you hurt somewhere?
Img093
Bubble 1: Why… Bubble 2: Why did you have to get hurt?! Bubble 3: Rooftops are pretty dangerous. Bubble 4: You should be careful. Bubble 5: What are you talking about… What a fool… Bubble 6: Ahahahaha! Bubble 7: Anyway, Bubble 8: What was with that back there? With that Tsubaki guy or whoever. Bubble 9: He made an explosion out of nowhere out of thin air. Bubble 10: That was the Bearer of Flames. Bubble 11: That's Higo-born King Shino's power. *TN: Higo is an old prefecture in Japan, now known as Kumamoto.
Img094
Bubble 1: Tsubakimaru is King Shino's Sword. Bubble 2: A Sword is one who embodies the power of a King. Bubble 3: The King uses the Sword and works to rule the entire country. Bubble 4: That is one rule of this school. Bubble 5: I get it now. Bubble 6: People fight together as units… Bubble 7: You said you were a King and that I'm a Sword, right? So, if I make a contract with you, does that mean I'll use some kind of magic or something, too? Bubble 8: I apologize… I can't do that… Bubble 9: A King's power is proportionate to the size of the territories they dominate.
Img095
Bubble 1: As I am now, I don't have any territory… Bubble 2: That's…why I'm a Rank F… Bubble 3: If you contract with me, you may just become a bit more energetic, I suppose. Bubble 4: For us to fight against someone of high rank like King Shino, we would need to first take down a number of weaker Kings and raise my rank… Bubble 5: I see. Bubble 6: If you really want to be the best, you'd better not keep company with her anymore. Bubble 7: So that's what Akikusa meant… Bubble 8: Wh-what?! Bubble 9: What are you doing all of a sudden?!
Img96
Bubble 1: Huh… Bubble 2: Together alone in a dim PE warehouse… Bubble 3: He couldn't be thinking of doing perverted things to me before he dies, could he…? Bubble 4: Oh, sorry. Bubble 5: Wasn’t that the way it went? Bubble 6: I get the feeling that's what you wanted me to do this morning… Bubble 7: Damn, they're here! Bubble 8: …I Don't have any money to pay you with…
Img097
Bubble 1: It was a chanced meeting. I'm pretty poor, myself. Bubble 2: I am short in height as well! And I am hardly beautiful! Bubble 3: Carrying all that stuff when you're short is pretty hard, huh? Bubble 4: I'll give you hand. Where are we off to? Bubble 5: Why Bubble 6: Are you helping me? Bubble 7: I told you before, Bubble 8: That's just the kind of person Hongou Yoshiaki is.
Img098
Bubble 1: I recognize you as my Sword. Bubble 2: The words of the vow. Text: A probability of one in 143,200. Bubble 3: Until the sky falls, Text: Is the likelihood of a man becoming a Sword! Text: One's scholastic ability, lineage, or origins do not matter, Text: In this world, only those who can be called a Sword matter any! Bubble 4: Until the earth cracks, Text: A Sword. Text: That is the symbol of a man, and what it means to be a man! Bubble 5: Until the sea swallows me, Bubble 6: I stick to an agreement.
Img099
Text: There was not a sword by the name of Muramasa, Text: There was a man named Muramasa! Text: There was not a sword by the name of Excalibur, Text: The man was named Excalibur! Bubble 1: The person that she establishes more justice than this. Bubble 2: I am your Sword, My user's name is King Homura.
Img102
Bubble 1: The vows have been accepted. Bubble 2: Be free from prejudice, faithful, and courageous. Bubble 3: When you break is when I fall. Bubble 4: I hereby name you as my Sword!
Img103
Text: Thy name is Tonbokiri. Bubble 1: Understood! Text: A name you will henceforth take to many battlefields, together with me as a fine Sword unrivaled by any other in all the land,
Img104
Bubble 1: Congratulations. Bubble 2: You seem to have somehow procured a Sword.
Img105
Bubble 1: I thank you for your concern. Bubble 2: Not at all, You are a King just as I am. Bubble 3: Even then, for all the battles I have had, Bubble 4: Killing someone who doesn't possess a Sword just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Bubble 5: And with this, I can kill you free of concern.
Img106
Bubble 1: Tsubakimaru! Bubble 2: Heh. Bubble 3: You've got yourself a fight! Bubble 4: Come! https://mangahelpers.com/t/teishou/releases/32524[English] [Translation] Ware wa Ken-oh!! 1 by Teishou2011-12-10T22:09:27+00:00Teishouadmin@mangahelpers.comWare wa Ken-Oh! Chapter 1

Bubble 1: It's the last time we'll see this place again, huh… Bubble 2: Hey, Wakamiya. Bubble 3: Hm? Bubble 4: You're not hitting up Kuro High, are you? Bubble 5: …Nah. Bubble 6: Getting a job? Bubble 7: Nah.
Img008
Bubble 1: Is there any other place dumbasses like us can go? Bubble 2: I'm done with being a dumbass. Bubble 3: And with smoking. Bubble 4: And with being a failure. Bubble 5: And with being Wakamiya.
Img009
Bubble 1: This is it. Bubble 2: …Yeah, So how do you plan to stop "being Wakamiya"? Bubble 3: Think I'll start using the name "Hongou". Bubble 4: Hahah. What the hell, man? Bubble 5: What's this? Bubble 6: Letter of recommendation for scholarship students. Apparently only one in every 143,200 people get one. Bubble 7: According to the officials, the school in Kyou decides who's the very best in the entire world. Bubble 8: I thought I'd give the place a shot. Bubble 9: I see… I thought we'd be chilling out together again… Bubble 10: Sorry about that. I want to try my hand at becoming number one.
Img010
Bubble 1: At being the very best. Bubble 2: Sounds just like you. Bubble 3: So today's the end for us, huh? Bubble 4: Yeah.
Img011
Bubble 1: I haven't gone up against you once since we were freshman. Bubble 2: Before you take the number one slot in Kyou, let's figure out who's number one in the city. Bubble 3: Sounds like a great farewell gift to me.
Img012
Bubble 1: LET'S GO! Text: And so we ascended up the steps through a fight that seemed like it would never end, Text: A fight that would decide everything!
Img013
Text: Battle 1: Versus the Bearer of Flames Bubble 1: Let's see… This is everything then. Text: 9 hours 37 minutes left. Bubble 2: Today is the senior high entrance ceremony. Bubble 3: All right then, Aina. Bubble 4: Let's head there together. Text: I have to find and make a contract with a "Sword" by then or…
Img014
Text: I'll probably be killed!
Img015
Box 1: Kyou Bubble 1: Take a look back there. Bubble 2: Ew, no thanks.
Img016
Bubble 1: Hey, it's that girl, You know the one… Bubble 2: Yeah, the Rank F. Bubble 3: Looks like she's moving her stuff from the junior high dorms up to the high school ones. Bubble 4: No servants to use, so she has to carry everything herself, huh? Bubble 5: There's still not really much point in bothering, though. Bubble 6: She's going to die soon anyway. Bubble 7: Sup, Bubble 8: Hooomura-chan? Bubble 9: Did you want something?
Img017
Bubble 1: Why you! Bubble 2: How dare a Rank F like you speak to us like that?! Bubble 3: Ugh… Bubble 4: Heheheh. Bubble 5: Heehee…
Img018
Bubble 1: Well, it makes no difference either way. Why don't we just pretend that never happened? Bubble 2: I am a tolerant man, after all. Bubble 3: Guh… Bubble 4: Isn't that right? Bubble 5: No one but me is going to help a Rank F like you. Bubble 6: …So what? Bubble 7: Am I supposed to become your slave or something?
Img019
Bubble 1: If you'd rather die, then be my guest. Bubble 2: I would think you'd be grateful. I'm saying you'll be my plaything. Text: You piece of shit! Bubble 3: Hm? What is this? Bubble 4: Give that back! Bubble 5: Ohh? It's your photo, huh? The one next to you looks pretty pathetic, you know. Bubble 6: Give it back, now! Bubble 7: Hahaha! Bubble 8: I'll give it back if you can reach it! Bubble 9: Hoh, really now?

Bubble 1: Huh? Bubble 2: HONGOU DROP KICK!

Bubble 6: We will remember this! This isn't finished! Bubble 7: Uh huh, if you're looking for a fight, bring it. Hit me up anytime. Bubble 8: Here you go. Bubble 9: This is yours, right?
Img022
Bubble 1: You okay?
Img023
Text: I've found him! Bubble 1: Anyhow…what a mess. Your stuff's all over the place. Text: He's the Sword! Bubble 2: What's wrong? Everything's going to get dirty if we don’t pick it up. Text: And an exceptionally superior one at that! Text: Except… Bubble 3: Who… Bubble 4: Are you? Bubble 5: Huh?
Img024
Bubble 1: I looked up all the students before coming to this school. Bubble 2: But of all the new students moving to the upper division along with me, And of course out of the entire school body, no one like you came up. Bubble 3: Just who are you? Bubble 4: Huh. Bubble 5: So people move up from junior high in an escalator fashion directly to high school? Bubble 6: Well, hey there. I went to a different junior high, but I'm a new entrant to this school, to. Bubble 7: You transferred in from another school?! Bubble 8: No way… It's not as if it's never happened before… Bubble 9: But it makes sense if that's the case… Bubble 10: Is transferring all that rare?
Img025
Bubble 1: Why are you injured? Bubble 2: Rooftops are pretty dangerous. Bubble 3: You should be careful. Bubble 4: I… Don't have any money to pay you with. Bubble 5: It was a chanced meeting. I'm pretty poor, myself. Bubble 6: …I am short in height as well…
Img026
Bubble 1: It's kinda hard carrying all this stuff, huh? Bubble 2: I'll give you a hand! Where are we off to? Bubble 3: Are you heading to the dorms, too? Bubble 4: Figures a girl would have a ton of stuff with her. I just have this one bag. Bubble 5: Why? Bubble 6: Why Bubble 7: Are you helping me? Bubble 8: I help people in trouble. Bubble 9: Hongou Yoshiaki is just that kind of person!
Img027
Bubble 1: All right then. Bubble 2: I'm not particularly pleased with your falling from high places and getting injured… Bubble 3: But I recognize you as my Sword.
Img028
Bubble 1: The vow. Bubble 2: Huh? Bubble 3: I'm talking about the contract! Say the words for the vow!
Img029
Bubble 1: Wha…?!
Img030
Bubble 1: Are you okay?! Bubble 2: I'm suffocating… Bubble 3: Whoa! Bubble 4: S-sorry! Bubble 5: …I'll accept that the event was out of your control. Now, to continue with the contract… Bubble 6: Wait! Bubble 7: Where are you going?!
Img031
Bubble 1: Was that explosion An accident?! Bubble 2: Or a fight?! Bubble 3: This place is just as great as the rumors said! Bubble 4: I'm checking it out! Bubble 5: Out of my way! Move! Bubble 6: What is this?! Bubble 7: What a fraud!
Img032
Bubble 1: This is it! Bubble 2: Where's the nearest staircase…no, entrance?! Bubble 3: Here we go…
Img033
Bubble 1: Doesn't appear to be a fire here… What the hell exploded then? Bubble 2: How unbelievable. Bubble 3: Some heathen is entering through the window of all places.
Img034
Bubble 1: It was the shortest route to get here. Besides, would a "heathen" be using a handkerchief? Bubble 2: I was referring to your manners. Bubble 3: Enough, Tsubakimaru. Bubble 4: Stand down. Bubble 5: Yes ma'am.
Img035
Bubble 1: Are you a new student? Bubble 2: Yeah. Bubble 3: Are you unaware of the agreement? It isn't yet time for new students to participate in battles. Bubble 4: Agreement? What are you talking about? Bubble 5: …You're an upperclassman, Aren't you? Bubble 5: Precisely. Bubble 6: My name is Ikeuchi Shino.
Img036
Bubble 1: I see, So you don't know anything really. Bubble 2: Very well, then. Bubble 3: While you lack beauty, It seems you will become a fine Sword. Bubble 4: Then I will let you go, just this once. Bubble 5: Oh, Bubble 6: And one last piece of advice from your upperclassman: Bubble 7: Wh- What?!
Img037
Bubble 1: If you want to survive here, Bubble 2: Even should an something explode and someone suddenly go missing, You will ignore it and keep going on like normal. Bubble 3: Have I made myself clear? Bubble 4: All right, then, Homeroom's starting. Bubble 5: Be on your way.
Img038
Bubble 1: Hm… Bubble 2: I still never figured out what the explosion was from… Bubble 3: Swords? Bubble 4: Words of the vow? Bubble 5: …Yeah, as if I get anything going on around here. Box 1: After School Bubble 6: A contract? You mean the contract for the Sword Rite? Bubble 7: Huh? You know about it? Bubble 8: Yeah, I already heard all about it from Shorty. Bubble 9: Shorty?
Img039
Bubble 1: The girl you met this morning. Bubble 2: Her name is Kuga Homura. Bubble 3: She's really short, right? So we call her Shorty. Bubble 4: But yeah, now it all makes sense. Bubble 5: What does? Bubble 6: Nah, it's just Bubble 7: I guess you wouldn't know, being a new transfer and all. Bubble 8: Ever since junior high, she's been known as quite the weirdo. Bubble 9: She's always left out of stuff with the other girls. Bubble 10: You got a problem with weird people? Bubble 11: Ahahah, don't get mad. This is just stuff I've heard from other people.
Img040
Bubble 1: I see. Bubble 2: Sorry then. Bubble 3: Hahahah, don't worry about it. I get it, you don't like that kind of stuff, huh? Bubble 4: Mister uh… Bubble 5: It's Hongou. Bubble 6: Hongou Yoshiaki. Bubble 7: That's quite the old-fashioned name. Bubble 8: I'm Akikusa Ichirou. Bubble 9: I'd say your name is as old-fashioned as mine. Bubble 10: Hahaha, I guess you're right.
Img041
Bubble 1: So? Bubble 2: What'd you tell her? Bubble 3: Nothing. Bubble 4: The explosion happened right then and there. Bubble 5: And I have no clue of what's going on anyway. Bubble 6: Oh yeah? Bubble 7: You're probably right… Bubble 8: I guess this was for the best. Bubble 9: But speaking of explosions… There's been a ton of them, so I'd watch out if I were you. Bubble 10: Yeah, about that! Bubble 11: Not a single bystander came to look, so I'll bet this happens all the time! This place seems more like a fighting ground than the rumors made it out to be!

Bubble 1: True, I suppose you could Bubble 2: Call this school that. Bubble 3: HONGOU YOSHIAKI! Bubble 4: Uhhhh… Bubble 5: Does being short really bother her that much?

Bubble 1: Not only are you a fraud, but you're rather decent with cleaning. Bubble 2: Oh, Hey, thanks. Bubble 3: Do you not understand sarcasm?! Bubble 4: Hahah. I'm sorry I wasn't able to carry your stuff this morning. Bubble 5: Don't you get it? Bubble 6: That's called being a fraud. Bubble 7: I said I'm sorry. Bubble 8: IN ANY CASE.
Img044
Bubble 1: You have betrayed me! Text: I have? Text: How improper. Bubble 2: You absolutely did not do as was requested! Bubble 3: You may regret your actions! Bubble 4: Had you taken my hand then, we could have continued forth with saying the hierarchical fundamentals!

Bubble 1: I mean it! Don't come after me! Bubble 2: Uhh… Bubble 3: Am I to take that to mean, "Follow me"? Bubble 4: She's better left alone. Bubble 5: She's a Swordless King, a Rank F. Bubble 6: This again… I'm hearing about nothing but stuff I don't understand today. Bubble 7: Well, you've been a normal up until now, so that's bound to be the case. Bubble 8: Anyway. Bubble 9: If you really want to be the best, you'd better not keep company with her anymore.

Bubble 1: I don't know what's going on at all Bubble 2: About this contract thing, Bubble 3: Or about the Sword stuff everyone keeps on about, Bubble 4: Or about that explosion, Bubble 5: But if I have somehow hurt you, Bubble 6: If I have somehow made you cry, Bubble 7: I want to do something about it. Bubble 8: You say you don't know anything, Bubble 9: But you're a scholarship student, aren't you? Bubble 10: Even so…with no rank, you're an ordinary student? Bubble 11: I don't know anything about that either.
Img051
Bubble 1: I heard you could fight to see who is the very best at this school. Does that have anything to do with this? Bubble 2: Unbelievable… Bubble 3: What goes on here isn't nearly as simple as you make it out to be. Bubble 4: It is a battle over the territory of this land. Bubble 5: One in fifty people die every year.
Img052
Bubble 1: It's true! Bubble 2: I'm not doubting you or anything. Keep going. Bubble 3: Well, I am a King. Bubble 4: I searched around for a Sword in order to use my power as one. Bubble 5: If you don't mind a wooden sword, I think you can buy one at a stand. Bubble 6: Don't you ridicule me! Bubble 7: I was kind of serious though… Bubble 8: Then don't be! Bubble 9: I don't get this at all. Bubble 10: You say there are regular students, so does that mean there are special ones, too? And what's a Rank F? Bubble 11: Well…
