Menfisu's name is weird.

Not reserving for anyone until...

-First chapter is out.
-Schedule for releases has been established.
-Schedule is fairly consistent.

No asking when the next one will be out, ask me for permission before using, no non-English scantlations before an English one is done, and I give preference to those who will check the script for accuracy before scantlating.

{Life energy unlock!!}
{Sengoku Muramasa!!}
Chapter 28: True nature.
KOKUSHI MUSOU!!
TAJIMA KAZUKI
Moloch: Dammit! If I take that move head on, my arm’s gonna be ripped from it’s socket!!
Nghh!!
Uuooo
OOOOOOOORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!
(Side text- Ro puts the pressure on his arch enemy!!)

002
(Side text- What is his partner Menfisu thinking…?)
Menfisu: They’re not surfacing…
…Did they become monster fish fodder?
Ro: Pwaaah!!
Moloch: Gaaha!
Ro: I’m not dead yet Menfisu!!
Menfisu: Sorry about that!

003
Menfisu: Moreover you’d best climb up here fast…
You won’t be able to climb back up if you fall down the waterfall ahead!!
Ro: Shaddup…
The water’s flowing too fast and I can’t swim over!!
Moloch: Where ya goin Ro Uei?!
This is a perfect place for your grave!!
Ro: Moloch!! You bastard!! Are you trying to drag me into your suicide attempt?!

004
Moloch: Heh…If I don’t kill you here…
Then I’m as good as dead myself..!!
Ro: What the hell are you---
Dammit, the poison has spread all over my body…I can’t use my stoma again…!!
{I’m going to be the number one martial artist in the peerless temple!!}
{I can’t…}

005
{Die in a place like this!!}
Ro: Guwaaaaaah!!
Puwhaaah gaaah…ugahhh!!
Moloch: Bastard…!!

006
Menfisu: Hey…
What’s with that shoddy look of yours…?
How long are you going to keep fighting like a wuss?
I’ve been waiting the whole time for you here….
Ro: Shut up.
It’s because of the poison that my stoma’s out of commission.
Menfisu: So that’s all your full power comes to?
I had real expectations for you…

007
Menfisu: But you’re just a disappointment.
Ro: Hey ass….
Moloch: GRAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!
Ro: D—dude..!!
You still want to go at it?!
Menfisu: My oh my.
(Sfx- Kachi *clack*)
Menfisu: I didn’t think I’d have to use one of these…
Here! Go on and take it!!
Ro: The antidote!!

008
Ro: Geh!!
You dumbass!!
Where the hell were you throwing that?!
Menfisu: So sorry. But with this the poison will be cured and your strength will return right?

009
Moloch: Heheheh I can feel my strength returning…Heheh…HAHAHA!!
(Sfx- Babaaahhh *THOOOM*)
Ro: Wha?! He’s been fully revived!!

010
Ro: Uwaaaaaaaaaah!!!
Damn…
It!!
Th—
That was close..!!

011
Moloch: Heheh…and with this it’s game over Ro.
Man…I never woulda thought it would be this easy to fool you…
Ro: What does that mean…?

012
Moloch: Mm, I dunno. How about I let your partner explain?
Ro: Menfisu…?
Menfisu: Heh..
Do you really think you can kill a man with your level of skill? You kept crying about how you wanted revenge against Ro…
So I not only let you do this by yourself but practically delivered him on a platter. Yet this is the result…how pathetic.
Moloch: Yes. My deepest apologies.
Ro: You two are accomplices?!

013
Menfisu: That’s right. We were born into a house of assassins and have the bond of a master and his servant since our upbringing.
My only partner has been Moloch from the very beginning.
This time I got close to you so that Moloch could hide his true intentions.
Ro: You…fooled me?
{Then those words…}
{Were all lies?}
{The game’s true objective is…To peel off the skin of the ‘monster’ on all of you….}
Ro: So this is the meaning of what Kujaku was saying…?

014
{This is his true nature…?!!}
Menfisu: Heh…
This really is no good..
I always do this before a kill…
I end up smiling….it’s really bad form.
Ro: Hmph…so What now? Is the honors student gonna snatch my antidote?

015
Menfisu: Antidote? Oh yeah that. I’ve got my own methods of dealing with that…don’t you worry.
Moreover I believe you should be more worried about yourself in this situation right? You do understand what’s going to happen next?
(Sfx- Gahh *fwap*)
Menfisu: How about we cut the chit-chat here.
Don’t worry, you served well as a foothold for me to cross into greater heights.
So long Ro-kun…
Thanks for being so easy to fool~

016
Menfisu: Ahaahahahahah!!!
{Man I’m such an idiot.}
{Not a damn thing has changed since that day.}
{Even though they knew the kind of world that we live in…}
{Poor Ro…he took in a dying man off the streets and saved him, and he turns around and murders his whole family.}
{In times like this, having sympathy for others is the foolish talk of simpletons.}
{Hey he can hear you.}
{That doesn’t matter. He’s still just a child…I reckon he doesn’t even understand what I’m saying.}
{I’m sorry…if only I were stronger…}
{If I had only realized the truth sooner and hadn’t trusted that man, everyone wouldn’t have been killed…I’m sorry…I’m so sorry…}

017
Ro: I’ll seek strength alone and never trust anyone ever again!!
{I made a vow that day, and yet…}
{I went and got fooled again, huh?}
{I just can’t be saved..!!}
Ro: Dammitall…

018
Kid: Oh! You’re awake Ro!
How are you feeling?
Ro: …Why am I here? Didn’t I die?
Kid: Nah…
I won’t let anyone kill you Ro.
(Side text- Ro was once again betrayed and fell into the abyss…where he meets his single ray of hope, Kid!! Next issue the counter attack starts?)

I never realized that the fate of Ro's sibling was actually nebulous until now. Now I'm back to hoping my bad touch doesn't prematurely end this series, (despite all signs pointing to how it will...)

TAJIMA KAZUKI
Chapter 27: Rematch.
Menfisu: There are defeated parties all over the place here…!
How brutal. The ‘friends’ they once believed in are now their ‘enemies’.
For now I believe we should proceed with caution. The parties remaining will be the stronger members of the class.
Ro: Yeah…
(Side text- How will two of the top class make their moves?)
KOKUSHI MUSOU!!

002
(Side text- The trial’s climax! Who will the strongest duo go after?)
Menfisu: By the way, why are you running at such a distance?
Ro: See, the thing is it’s a lot harder for you to stab me in the back if you’re in front of me.
Menfisu: That’s harsh man!!
(Sfx- Tan *tok*)
Menfisu: Remember how I said that I’d be your ‘partner’? That means you can trust me a little more than that right?
….You’ve acted this way since you entered the peerless temple right?

003
Menfisu: Never getting too close to anyone…being cold on purpose..
Ro: Somethin’ wrong with that?
Maybe you don’t get it because you’re so popular but it’s reaaal easy for others to betray you.
I’m not stupid enough to…
Blindly believe in others.
{Four years ago, my parents were killed and my only little sister was kidnapped.}
{The one who did it was a senior apprentice of mine.}
{My mom and pop loved him, and everyone around trusted him.}
{Yet he killed every single one of them without a moment’s hesitation.}

004
Ro: I came here in order to gain the power needed to kill that guy…!!
Menfisu: Ro-kun!!
Menfisu: Are you okay?
You’re making one heck of a scary face there.
Um…maybe I’m not saying this right but..
I’m your partner right?
So you don’t have to shoulder everything alone.
Did you know that ‘partner’ is a companion who is connected together in a palanquin. Or so they say.
So you should let me bear some of your burden as well yeah?

005
Ro: I don’t need your help dummy.
Whatta weirdo. He wants to join up with me…why?
{He’s sorta like another idiot I know.}
Ro: ….wait why the hell am I thinking of that moron?
(Handwritten- They’re not the same at all!!)
(Sfx- Hetchooo!!)
Kid: Ugh. Am I coming down with a cold? This sucks.
I can smell one of the antidotes nearby.
Even though I’ve only caught a whiff once, I’d never forget anything that smelly in my life!!

006
Kid: It’s under this rock!!
Hnnnnnngh!!!
Ah!!
There’s an antidote!!
(Handwritten- And it reeks!!)
Kid: But why’s it in a place like this?
???: There are those here who keep their antidote from being stolen by hiding it!!

007
Kid: Gihyou!!
Gihyou: Awwwright! Nice to see you’re still kickin it brother! I’m overjoyed here!
How ya feelin’ ya jerk?
(Sfx- Wahahah)
Kid: It’s only one, but I just stole me an antidote!!
(Sfx- Bishiihh *slap*)
Taitan: Better take it before the owner comes back!!
Kid: Hey! Who are you?!
(Sxf- Zuruuh *slip*)
Taitain: I’m Taitan! I enrolled here before Gihyou did!!
Kid: Dude, Gihyou! You have a partner? Though she seems a little dumb.
Taitan: Aww quit praising me! I’m blushing!
Gihyou: She’s dumb, but not a bad person. We just happened to meet and stuff, and she’s following me around.
Kid: So you guys are just hanging loose like me huh?
Gihyou: I’d recommend you reel it in and hang tight bro. There are things you’ll wanna watch out for.

008
Gihyou: In particular there’s one guy you need to watch out for, and his name is Moloch.
He’s a pro assassin!!
Kid: Assassin?
Gihyou: Pretty much anyone can enroll in the peerless temple.
You even get the rare assassins who join so that when they graduate they get a big boost in their rep and the clients come rolling in.
Kid: Yeah, but if he’s so scary won’t he end up not having a partner?
Gihyou: I know right…?
(Sfx- Piku *poit*)

009
Menfisu: I hear a scream coming from that direction…what do you wanna do?
Ro: It could be a trap….but the possibility that we’ll find an antidote there is high as well.
Let’s go!!
Menfisu: Okay!
That’s terrible…his face has been pounded in.
Ro: Don’t touch him.
His wounds are unnatural. It’s like someone tortured him…
I’m assuming that we may be in the middle of some sorta trap…
???: Heheheh….Congrats.

010

011
Ro: So it’s you bastard…
Moloch!!
Moloch: Heheh…the time left for this game is half up…and I haven’t been able to steal the antidote I needed…
So I figured I’d give some guy the third degree and his screams would flush out some prey…
And now I’ve caught me a whopper…
I was hoping we’d meet again…
Ro: Know what’s funny Moloch? I was thinking the same thing. See I’ve had all kinds of trouble looking for prey of my own.

012
Ro: Menfisu, I’ve got this.
You just stay out of it.
Or is it that you think you can stop me?
Menfisu: I’ll decline.
After all the antidote is essential now!
Ro: I’ll end this in a flash!

013
Moloch: It goes without saying that this’ll be fun!!
{So he’s able to weave past all of my attacks even at this range?}
Moloch: Hmph!!
Ro: I told you before but the same things won’t work against me. I’ve already seen right through your fist.

014
Moloch: Heheh…is that so? Then how about this?
{Is this…his stoma?!}
Moloch: Grand Bang!!
Ro: He used his Sunkei on the ground!!
Moloch: I’ll squish you flat!!

015
Moloch: HEheheh…Aww don’t tell me you died.
Hmph..!! Still alive huh?
Ro: Heh.
Moloch: He’s laughing?!
Ro: Aww Moloch, you wound me y’know? If you had a move like that you should have shown it to me sooner.
I’ve wanted to fight guys like you since I entered the peerless temple…

016
{Life energy unlock. Sengoku Muramasa}
(TN- Thousand countries Muramasa. Muramasa is probably based on Sengo Muramasa who was a famous swords smith during the Muromachi period. The sword Muramasa itself is thought to be cursed.)
Moloch: This guy….is he actually running in midair?!

017
Moloch: Gugh…!! The cutting power is no joke!!
Is this Ro’s stoma art…?!
Ugh!!

018
Menfisu: Ro-kun! He’s fallen into the river!!
He can’t use that earlier move if he’s in the water!!
Moloch: Hey hold up!!
Don’t be hasty!!
Ro: This is the end Moloch!!
(Side text- Ro and Moloch’s fates intertwine in an intense rematch!!)

Bad touch aside, this trial is taking entirely too long. I just read this week's chapter, and there still seems to be a long way to go....though to be fair I like the potential a lot of these new characters have too. Hmm...

(Side text- What is this power that the unconscious Kid possesses?!)
KOKUSHI MUSOU!!
TAJIMA KAZUKI
Anko: That little runt…
He actually broke Rengoku’s nyoibou…?!
No way…
(Side text- Volume one of the manga is now out in stores!!)
Rengoku: My nyoibou infused with my ‘stoma’broke…?!
But for that to happen a stronger ‘ki’ would need to collide with it…!!
That’s impossible…!!
(Sfx- Furaaah *wifft*)
Chapter 26: Nevus’s power.

002
Rengoku: That brat’s stoma is more powerful than mine….?!
Anko: There’s a light coming from his hands?!
What is it?!
Rengoku: This is impossible!! There’s no way a newbie could possibly have a stronger stoma than mine…!!
I’ve been refining my stoma for months and years….!!
Yet a runt like him…!!
DON’T PUSH YOUR LUCK NEWBIE!!!

003
Anko: The broken nyoibou’s fragments are rotating…?!
Rengoku: I will take the name ‘peerless’ from this place.
Which means…
I CAN’T BE DEFEATED HERE!!

004
Anko: He unconsciously responded to Rengoku’s killing intent?!
Rengoku: OORRRRRRRRRAGH!!!

005

006
(Sfx- Gakuhh *thud*)
Mugi: He really managed to knock Rengoku out…!!
{…Was it just my imagination or when Kid-kun’s fist glowed…}
{Was there a character shining there too…?}
{…I feel like I’ve seen it before…}
(Sfx- Furaaah *wibble*)
Mugi: Kid-kun!!

007
Mugi: A—are you awake?
How are you feeling Kid-kun?
Kid: Where am I?
Mugi: A river in Aster forest. We moved from where we were before because we didn’t have a good view.
But are you okay? Do you know who I am?

008
Kid: EEGH?!
OWWWW!!
What’s with this bug?!
Ugh, my ass is killing me…
Anko: Is he really the guy who beat Rengoku?
(Handwritten- He’s so lame…)
Anko: You know you were out for two hours right?
Kid: Oh right! I was fighting against that bandana dude…
Huh?! What happened to them?!
Anko: They’re tied up with the trial and unable to move at the moment.
(Handwritten- Mmmph! Mmmmph!!)
Kid: Eh? You gals beat them up?
Mugi: You really don’t remember?

009
Kid: What?
Anko: You’re the one who beat them up. I gotta say it’s not really cool for you to be so strong and not say anything about it…you could have saved us sooner---
Mugi: A—Anko-chan!!
Kid: Oh right. What about the antidote?
Mugi: Antidote?
Oh…well Rengoku stole two of them already…
(Handwritten- Rengoku-kun left them two antidotes lighter and stuff…)
Mugi: So there’s not really a way we can divide it between three people…so we were discussing what to do.
Kid: Oh well then you guys take ‘em.
After all it was you two girls who took ‘em in the first place.
Mugi: B—but..!!
Kid: Besides!!

010
Kid: If I wanna team up with Ro, I gotta be able to steal antidotes myself!!
That’s why I’m going to have to refuse your antidote and insist you use it!
Mugi: Kid-kun..
Kid: I just feel like I gotta be able to do that much or I’ll never be able to face RO.
It’s all a part of my advancement plan!
Anko: We get it.
Mugi: Thanks Kid-kun.
(Sfx- Niihh *grin*)
Kid: Well, it’s about time I shipped out.
(Sfx- Suhh *shfft*)
Mugi: That’s right, we’re entering halftime now…

011
Mugi: Thank you so much Kid-kun! T—thanks to you I finally realized what’s really important!!
Kid: Mugi, you were really damn cool before!!
When this trial is behind us you’ll teach me how to do that too yeah?
Anko: And there he goes.
He’s a weird one, as far as boys go.
Mugi: …Mhm.

012
{Shuffle game Start point.}
Priest: Hnnnnghh!!
What was that just now?!
It was an incredible presence…even the barrier shook for a moment!
Priest 2: Who was that just now?
Kujaku: It was Kid.
The Nevus’s power ran amok it seems…
(Handwritten- You guys are too noisy…)
Priest: I—is that really okay!?
Kujaku: It’s fine. Things have calmed down now.
Priest: I knew it…having him enter a trial so quickly was a bad idea.
If only more had raised their voices in opposition of him being released…
From the beginning he shouldn’t have been inducted as a trainee with the other students..!!

013
Kujaku: And you dare still call yourself a member of the peerless temple?
What good will come of treating a kitten and wild tiger the same way?
Then you’re saying you want to capture him? You’ll be killed…or is it that you don’t want your lives anymore?
The director had him enrolled here so that he could be taught the correct way to use his power.
(Text- Entry contract.)
Kujaku: And it’s not strange for us to teach the children who are enrolled here by pitting their strengths against one another.
And this is the best method of allowing that boy to grow.
Those with fangs need to be taught the proper way of using them..
Or they run the risk of harming themselves and those around them.

014
???: Awwright! Got an antidote!!
This game is in the bag!!
Girl: But maaan Gihyou!! You sure knew this guy’s weakness din’ya?
{Gihyou’s former partner Taitan. Amount of antidotes: 2.}
Gihyou: Hahahah! My intelligence network is peerless man! You know that Taitan!!
{Gihyou. Amount of antidotes: 2.}
Gihyou: Information is sometimes stronger than ‘force’!!
I know all of the secret information here at the temple! If you listen I can even tell you the three sizes for all of the first years…
For rea….
AAAAL?!

015
Taitan: Wahahaah!!
You’re lame! And you only get lamer when you try to act like a cool poser!!
{Taitan. Favorite thing: Pranks.}
Gihyou: Oww…Man I forgot how much you love punking others…
(Handwritten- Sorriez)
Taitan: Sorriez, Sorriez. That hole was specifically made for you to fall through.
Gihyou: YOU DON’T NEED TO MAKE ‘EM!!
???: GYAAAH!!
Gihyou: A scream!!
Taitan: It’s pretty close too.
Wanna go check it out?
(Handwritten- Why did I know you were gonna say that?)
Gihyou: Stop it. We’ve already got our antidotes hear? There’s no need to trouble ourselves, ya feel me?
Taitan: Aww it ain’t gonna hurt nothing! We might even scoop some extra antidotes, ya feel me?
If they’re a weakling, then it’s all good if we beat em up and stuff man! Ya feel me?
Gihyou: You’re using ‘Ya feel me’ the wrong way. Ya feel me?

016
Dude: Uugggh!! P—please spare me…!!
I told you I don’t have any antidotes….
{Moloch Amount of antidotes: 1.}
Moloch: Heheh…you’ve got a nice pair of lungs on you eh?
Taitan: It’s Moloch. What’s he doin?
Gihyou: Whatta asshole. He’s giving some poor sap the third degree outta boredom…
‘Ccording to my info, before he came here to the peerless temple, he worked for some underworld syndicates as their go to wetwork guy.
(Handwritten- I can’t believe that guy’s human.)

017
{This game’s point is to ‘Create teams’. But he’s not even trying to hide his ferocious nature.}
{Pretty sure that not a single person will wanna team up with him at this rate.}
Gihyou: What’s that mummy-man thinking?
???: Twelve hours left for the shuffle game huh…

018
Meinfisu: And we haven’t found a single target yet.
{Ro/Meinfisu Amount of Antidotes: 1}
Ro: It’s cause the amount of people has started to decrease. Only capable guys are left now.
I wonder how strong the ones left over are? Either way this is starting to get fun…
Meinfisu: …You’re right about that…this’ll be a blast…
{Meanwhile Kid is…}
Kid: Hey ROOOOO!!
Where the heck is that dumbass?!
(Side text- The severe trial is reaching it’s end…!! What will be Kid and Ro’s fate…?!)

2014-03-10T23:55:51+00:00

Bad touch, bad touch. What'cha gonna do? What'cha gonna do when BDR translates you~

(Side text- The awakened Mugi’s attack!!)
Elize: I—impossible…
That a failure like Mugi could use a stoma that powerful…
KOKUSHI MUSOU!!
Mugi: To think that I had power like this…!!
I can’t believe it…
Chapter 25: Two antidotes.
Mugi: Anko-chan!!
Anko: With this, you’ve graduated from being just a crybaby Mugi.
Mugi: Anko-chan…
I—I can’t get too happy…
Or I might just start crying…
TAJIMA KAZUKI

002
Kid: Seriously!!
I’m so moved that tears and other things are coming out of every hole on me!
(Side text- To protect her friend Anko, Mugi awakens a powerful stoma!! This friendship moves kid to tears!!)
Mugi: Ki—kid-kun!!
Anko: And why are you crying the hardest…?
Kid: Dude, Friendship and stuff just hits me right here y’know…!!
I’ve always been all alone so I aspire to have a friendship like this!!
Mugi: M—more importantly we should hurry and move..
I’m sure that someone heard all of that noise and will probably come—
Here…

003
Kid: Mugi!!!
Anko: What’s the matter Mugi?!
Mugi: S—sorry…
I guess I’m a little tired…
(Sfx- Hah)
(Sfx- Hah)
Anko: You used up too much of your power…especially considering you’ve got that poison coursing through your body…you over did it…
Mugi: I’ll be fine….I’ll recover if I just rest a little…
For now we need to hurry up and get out of here…!
Kid: Watch out!!

004
Kid: Ughh!
Ow!!
Mugi: Kid-kun!!
Dude: How dare you all…
You hurt my friends….
You’d better be prepared to pay….!!
Kid: Geh!! This guy…!!
Rengoku!! He’s still got that much strength left?!

005
Rengoku: I finally though it had found a team of four that could sweep away the competition and stand on top!
And now all of my plans are scrap thanks to you!! This is friggin annoying as hell!!
Elize: Rengoku’s lost it…
Rengoku: Dammit…the poison’s really taking effect…

006
Kid: You’re up against me, scumbag!!
Rengoku: Kid!! You can still move?!
Dammit…!!
This guy should have been affected by the poison too…!!
Anko: Whoa! He’s putting the pressure on Rengoku!! He’s actually pretty strong!!
Rengoku: Damn…What do I do?
Against an opponent like him who’s ridiculously strong, it’s no good if I go wasting my strength..!!
Wait...I do still have something up my sleeve….!!

007
Kid: Heeeya!!
Ah?!
Hoira: Rengoku?
(Sfx- Zeh zeh *hah hah*)
Anko: He’s heading back to Hoira and the others?
What’s he planning?
Rengoku: Sorry Hoira. It was fun hanging out with you while it lasted.

008
Rengoku: But it all ends today.
…It really tears me up…
Hoira: My antidote?!
Rengoku: If I take my antidote and yours at the same time then the poison’s effects will dissipate.
I have to be stronger than anyone else here…
And use that strength to protect my homeland and my parents.

009
Rengoku: For that end I’ll even abandon you my friend!!
This is what martial arts are to me!!
Kid: He took his buddy’s medicine…?!
Rengoku: Ah….
I can feel my power returning!!
Now that the poison is no longer a problem and my strength is back..
I can use my nyouibou’s stoma with no problem….!!!
The nyoibou I have was a weapon created using a certain hermit’s ‘ki’!!
When the user fuses his ki with it for the first time it’s form becomes perfect!!

010
{Perfect form…}
{Nyoi rengoku bou!!}
(TN- Priest’s purgatory staff.)
Kid: Eh?!
The staff transformed?!
Anko: He can use a stoma too?!
No way?!

011
Rengoku: ORAAAH!!
ORAAAH!!
Anko: A two pronged move?!
His stoma not only granted him the speed to do rapid attacks, but increased the power of his blows too!!
{This sucks….we don’t have a single chance of winning this..!!}
{At this rate we’re all…}

012
Kid: I ain’t losing to the likes of you!
Not to a guy who doesn’t think anything of his friend’s lives!!
I’ll absolutely never lose to you!!
If I destroy this staff then…!!!
Rengoku: What the hell…
Was that?

013
(TN- There’s nothing on this page but Kid getting his ass whooped, but the public raw doesn’t include it. Again, not sure what you scantlators at home will do.)

014
Mugi: Kid-kun!!
Rengoku: Humph…you honestly thought you could break my Nyoibou somehow?
Retard.
My nyoibou has strong ki infused in it…
Just being stupidly strong and hitting it isn’t enough to break it.
Hey. Wake up.

015
Rengoku: Oh?
Unconscious are we?
Mugi: D—don’t you dare touch Kid-kun anymore…!!
I’ll be your opponent. You were targeting me from the start right…?!
Rengoku: Hah. Don’t make me laugh. You used your ‘ki’ up and can barely breathe.
It’s only a matter of time for you.
Once I’m done with the little runt I’ll come and pay you a visit!!
So just be quiet and wait your turn!!

016
Rengoku: H—he can still move?!
He—he’s actually holding me back?!
R—ridiculous!! I’m no longer poisoned and at 100 percent!! Yet he’s still holding me back..?!

017
Rengoku: He’s…
Out like a light!!
Yet…he’s still got such a huge amount of ki…
What the hell is going on here? Why is he pushing me back?!

Rengoku: WHAT THE HELL IS HE?!

[English] [Translation] Kokushi Musou!! 24 by Bomber D Rufi

2014-02-12T03:58:40+00:00

I don't gush much (especially when I'm THIS tired...but I beat that record of more than four translations in one night! ....that no one cares about.) But Mugi and by extension, Tajima's art has gone from awkward to beautiful. Or at least much more refined. I really hope my bad touch doesn't activate on this series, but like most Shounen power ups, the bad touch always seems to appear in a desperate situation...

TAJIMA KAZUKI
(Black circle- Comics…)
(Red circle- First volume is out in stores everywhere!!)
(Side text- Climax of the Shuffle game!!)
(Side text- Center color and 23 pages!!)
Chapter 24: Awakening.
KOKUSHI MUSOU!!
(Bottom text- In the demonic darkness of doubt and distrust, The beasts collide as they seek the light named partnership. Now a single one of the beasts undergoes an awakening…!!)

002
(Side text- Fierce fighting!)
{The Second half of the Shuffle game. The place of assembly is the Aster graveyard. The name of the game is doubting your partner and searching for another.}
{The rules are deceptively simple…just create a team within 24 hours.}
{However before the trial started, the students were injected with a poison that saps their physical strength.}
{And in 24 hours their bodies will be completely unable to move or react.}
{Within the rings on their arms that administered the poison lies their one hope…}
{An antidote that will only work if two doses are taken simultaneously.}
{In order to get two however, they will need to steal a second from someone else during the exam.}
{This creates a situation where no one other than oneself can be fully trusted…and clearing the game’s objective ---creating a partnership becomes difficult.}
{It is a trial which is truly contradictory.}

003
Kid: I smelt the medicines so I came running here.
{Kid: Current antidote count// 0.}
{Mugi: Current antidote count// 1.}
Mugi: Th—the smell?
Elize: Isn’t that the runt from the other time?

004
Rengoku: Hahah….the prey just keeps on rollin’ in doesn’t it?
Hey shortpants. If you don’t wanna die hand over your antidote.
Kid: H—hey man! Hold on! I don’t have any of the antidote! Some other guys already snatched it from me earlier!!
All: Wut?
Kid: So I picked up the scent of the medicine and came looking!
Mugi: He smelt it? Then again…if Kid-kun is here maybe we can do this…
Rengoku: Don’t lie.
If you don’t hand it over you’ll end up like that girl there.

005
Rengoku: Well?
What’s it gonna be?
Mugi: Kid-kun…please run…
I’m going to give them my antidote…and I want you to take Anko-chan and run away.
Kid: What are you talking about? If you do that then you’re gonna be in danger right?
Mugi: I’ll be fine! I’ll find a way to get out of this and retire from the game! It’ll happen sooner or later anyway!
Kid: I refuse!

006
Kid: Let me tell you what’s going to happen here.
I’m going to save you both, and whup the bad guy’s asses. Not a bad scenario, eh?
Anko: T—that’s impossible.
You won’t be able to take on four people by yourself.
Hoira: Looks like the runt wants to go.
Rengoku: He’s a fool.
After all in a real fight no one backs down from showing their stuff!!
Kid: What tha---his staff stretched?!
NGAH!!!
Mugi: Kid-kun!!
Rengoku: Runt, you are so much a newbie that it hurts.
Didn’t Kujaku teach you any self-defense moves?
Kid: Uuugh!?! I did do my homework dammit!!
Ow!!!

007
Elize: Hahahah. Quit trying to act like big stuff. You can’t beat us.
Anko can’t move anymore..
And while Mugi is here she’s just a cowardly little crybaby.
Do you seriously think you stand a chance?
Kid: Sure do.
Do you guys think you stand a chance against ME?
???: Watch your mouth, newbie!!
Kid: Uwaaaaaaaah!!

008
Mugi: Kid-kun!!
(Sfx- Zzaaahh *ssffft*)
Rengoku: Whoa.
Elize: That little brat!
Anko: He really thinks he can win…
Rengoku: Is your head full of fluff?
You and I have a completely different ‘character’…

009
Rengoku: GET WHAT I MEAN?!
Trash!
Mugi: Kid-kun…why..?
You have to know that you’ll lose this fight…
So why do you keep standing up?
Why are you opposing them?
Dad(?): Mugi still cant use her wind stoma…?
Teacher: Sorry sir…but despite even the strictest training she…

010
Dad: Stand up Mugi!! Who told you to rest?
We are a noble family who utilizes a stoma of the wind, and have for generations!!
And as you are now, you aren’t good enough to be their heir!
For the sake of our family name…
You must do nothing other than continue being victorious….
Mugi: Father…you taught me that losers have no value in this world…and scared me from going down that path…
I’m afraid of losing…
And because I am afraid I don’t fight.

011
{Because I am afraid of failure or losing, I don’t fight, and because I don’t fight I am a failure as a martial artist.}
Hoira: Using my stoma to strengthen my cells means I can crush you with one blow!!
Kid: Mugi!!
Hoira: THIS IS WHERE YOUR LUCK ENDS BOTTOM FEEDING WENCH!!
(Sfx- Suhhh *Sffft*)

012
Mugi: Kid-kun!
{This guy again?!}
Kid: NUGAHHH!!
Mugi…
Why aren’t you fighting?!

013
Rengoku: Hahah, cut her some slack wouldja? She’s just afraid of losing…
And frankly she’s making the right decision.
A life of a martial artist only has meaning if they fight AND win.
Once you lose you’re useless, and your life meaningless!
Kid: YOU’RE WRONG!!

014
Chomi: Wha?
Mugi: Ki—Kid-kun?
{They say ‘The road of martial arts is one that shoulders heavy burdens and is smeared with mud’…}
{It’s because I owe so much….That my fist leaves a resounding impression!!}
Kid: Master Kujaku taught me…
A martial artist’s fight is to ‘protect’!!
Whether his opponent is strong or weak, or whether he can win or not doesn’t matter!
As long as there is something to protect you can summon the courage to fight!!
That is the way a martial artist lives!!

015
{Something to protect….!!}
Kid: But hey, I’m already well aware of the fact that I will own you guys!!
Anko: G—geez. That guy just doesn’t know when to shut up..
Mugi: Anko-chan…
Anko: Mugi…you should get out of here on your own..
I can at least hold ‘em back like this.
Mugi: If you fight with your body the way it is, you’ll just die!!
Anko: That’s cool. As long as I protected you Mugi, death’s no big thing.
I’m serious.

016
Mugi: Anko-chan…
(Sfx- Gyuuhh *sniffle*)
Mugi: You’re always protecting me…
Even before I ended up coming here..
Uuuuuuuu
Sniffle….
Anko: Awww Mugi…
You’re cryin’ by yourself again?
Mugi: Anko-chan!
Anko: Did your pops get mad at you again?
Mugi: Yeah..
He says I’m useless because I can’t use the stoma of wind…
Anko: Hmmm?

017
Mugi: If I weren’t born into this home…this family…that would have been better.
Being the daughter of a famed house is hard…I just want normal happiness…
Anko: Don’t worry about it Mugi…you’ll be okay. It might be hard now but…
Someday the headwind will become a tailwind.
Okay?
{Yes…that’s right…}
{Anko-chan…you are always there to encourage me.}

018
{You are always at my side…}
{I’m sorry…to always make you worry about me…}
{But…it’ll be okay now….I’ll be okay.}
Mugi: Because this time I’ll protect you Anko-chan!!
Elize: Kyaah! Wh—what’s with this wind?!
Mugi: Wh---what is this?
I can see the breath of the wind….is this a stoma?!
The wind…it’s alive!!!

019
???: I don’t get what’s going on here but we’ve gotta stop it and fast!!
Elize: Chomi!! Have you finished more of that paralyzing powder?!
Chomi: I can’t mix anything with this wind blowing me back!!
Hoira: Hehehe…wind of this level is a breeze.
HAAAAH!!
Kid: He’s sending that tree our way!!

020
Kid: Hey Mugi!! That’s dangerous!! Stay back!
Mugi: Kachou fuuryuu ken!!
(TN- Each kanji separately means ‘Flowers and birds elegant fist’. If you read it as just the first three kanji, it’s ‘the traditional themes of natural beauty.’ ….either way it sounds cooler left untranslated.)

021
Mugi: It’ll be okay Kid-kun.
I can fight too.

022
All: UWAAAAH!!!
Elize: N—no way…Mugi can use a stoma?!
Hoira: Dammit! Chomi’s powder paralyzed meeeeee!!
Mugi: I had no idea…
That this is what it feels like to fight…!!
(Side text- To protect her friends she awakened a hidden power!! Next issue a counter attack begins?!)

Nnnngh, must beat translation-in-one-night-record that no one cares about...hrrraggggghhhh

Chapter 23: Mugi’s Trauma.
Mugi: Anko-chan?! What are you doing here?
Anko: I figured that you’d be crying somewhere. Boy are you good at proving me right~
KOKUSHI MUSOU!!
Anko: WAAAH!! IT FEELS LIKE YEARS SINCE WE LAST MET EACH OTHER!!
MUGIIIII!! I WANTED TO SEE YOU AGAAAAAIN!!!
Mugi: THAT HUUURTS!!
(Handwritten- I mighta over done it.)
Anko: But thank God. I thought that someone might have already done you in or something..
(Side text- In the demonic trial of distrust, a former duo meets again!!)
Anko: Moreover I thought that spikey headed runt was seducing you again….
(Handwritten- ‘Seduce?’)
TAJIMA KAZUKI

002
Anko: But there’s no need to worry. C’mon and team up with me, okay?
I’ll protect you Mugi.
Mugi: Anko-chan…! Really?
(Side text- In the midst of a game designed to create new teams, the scared girl Mugi is targeted by her former partner….)
Anko: With me around you’ll be absolutely fine! I’ll give anyone who bullies you a smackdown! Y’know, like the good old days!
{The good old days.}
Anko: Though during the first trial, my jealously towards that twerp made it hard to get close to you..
{The first trial.}
Mugi: Is that so….
But Anko-chan, that’s a waste don’t you think?
Anko-chan, you’re so great at martial arts unlike me….

003
Mugi: I’m pretty much a failure in every aspect...I have bad grades, I’m clumsy….
If I were to team up with you I’d just get in your way.
You shouldn’t worry about me and team up with someone else…you have that right you know?
Anko: MUGI!!!
I’ve decided that I want to team up with you!! Why are you trying to push me away?!
After all, we’ve been together since we enrolled here haven’t we?!
Moreover I owe you big Mugi!!
That’s why I’ve decided to use my life for your sake!!
Mugi: And I’m saying there’s no worth in protecting me.
I’ve been saying that and hearing it ever since I was a kid.

004
{My home is a famed home belonging to one of the three noble families in the martial arts world…}
{And when I was born in order to keep from shaming this name I was enrolled in classes for gifted children.}
{From dawn till dusk I had the foundations of martial arts drilled into me,}
{My ragged body would collapse into bed from the training each and every day.}
{My father would always say this to me….}
{The blood running through your veins does not allow for failure.}

005
Dad: Mugi!! You still haven’t mastered using wind?! Our family has a proud tradition of many years that you have to uphold!!
Yet you continue to shame and sully that bloodline!?
You should know full well how losing or failure is looked upon in our clan!!
Losers are garbage!!
GARBAGE!!
If you fail….you too are garbage!!!
If you can’t win…
If you can’t win then…!!!

006
Mugi: I can’t win…
And the thought of ‘failure’ scares me so much…!
Anko: Mugi…?
(Sfx- Kachaaah *clack*)
Mugi: That’s why….
I’ll give this antidote to you Anko-chan.

007
Rengoku: Phewww..
We should be far enough away that Meinfisu and Ro won’t find us.
Yeaaah, aiming for the strongest in the class is a bad idea. Let’s not do that.
Hoira: Yeah bro. All four us against them, and we still got our asses handed to us.
Chomi: Let’s look for someone who doesn’t look like they’re doing so hot and take their antidote!
Elize: Now there’s some decent prey…
Chomi: Wh—where?
Elize: Found youuu…

008
Mugi: Anko-chan, please don’t cry anymore…
I’ll be fine. Sure Master said that, but I’m pretty sure this poison won’t kill me…
Anko: NO!!
I said I’m not gonna leave you Mugi!!
And if you aren’t going to team up with me then I quit this game!
Mugi: D—don’t say things like that!!
You’ve made it this far after all…!!
Anko: Then say you want to live Mugi!!
Mugi: Anko-chan…
???: If you want to die so badly, how about I give you a hand?

009
Anko: Watch out Mugi!!!
Who’s there?!

010
Chomi: Found the bottom dweller~
Elize: She even brought her pound puppy with her. That’s a noble’s kid, she sure knows how to get things done.
Mugi: Elize-chan!! Chomi-chan!!
Anko: Hmph…
Well well. Who’s trashy?
You coming to bully Mugi again? Floozy.
Rengoku: Hey Elize, you sure you don’t want me to help?
Elize: Don’t worry about it. She’s my toy after all…
(Sfx- Perohh *slurp*)

011
Elize: If you aren’t gonna start this, then I will!!
Anko: Stay back Mugi.
Mugi: You can’t Anko-chan!! You have to get away on your own!
Anko: Sorry but I’m the sorta chick who protects her benefactor yanno?
So guess that means I’m just going to do what I want~
(Sfx- Kuii *Sfft*)
Elize: That stance….

012
Anko: Kuroneko ken!!!
(TN- Black cat fist.)
Elize: Kyaaaah!!
She split that huge tree into pieces?!
Rengoku: She’s something all right..
I almost forgot but isn’t she one of the strongest in the class too?

013
{Anko…no one knows where she came from, much less what dojo she studied in. She has a fist that no one has ever seen before…one that flows freely and without warning….{
Rengoku(?): Why would a girl like that want to associate with Mugi the bottom dweller of the class?!
Heey Elizeeeeee, looks like you’re in a pickle! Want help?
Elize: I DON’T!!
No matter how strong someone is, they have a weakness.
And I see yours as clear as day Anko….

014
Elize: And that’s you Mugi!!
Anko: Mugi!!
Hey!! Why are you spacing out!?

015
Anko: Nnghh!!
Elize: And how long do you think you can run carrying dead weight like that?
Mugi: Anko-chan!! Anko-chan!! Stop this!! Please!
I’ll be a decoy so you can run away!!
Rengoku: So that’s friendship? Gets me right here. I think I feel the mist coming to my eyes.
Hoira: Gyahahaha. It sickens me.
Anko: You’ve misjudged me Mugi…
I’m your friend. Do I look like the sort to run off with my tail between my legs and leave you---

016
Anko: Behind…
Mugi: Anko-chan!!
Elize: So the pound puppy for the elite brat can only hold up this long?
Well, wait. I guess stray cat? Well whatevs.
Die Bitch!

017
{I’m so scared….}
{B—but if Anko-chan can get away by herself then…}
Elize: You’ve been able to somehow scrape by with your pathetic life Mugi-chan..
But now it’s all too late. Your guard can’t move anymore.
No need to worry though!!
I’ll be sending you and your pet to the same place!!

018
Kid: Hey Mugi.
In a jam?
(Side text- When she’s in a jam, of course Kid appears!! Next issue the counter attack starts!!)

Eh, Gintama was short and I was like 'Wait! I graduated and got my master's already! I actually have time for more translations now!'

Chapter 22: Powerful ones.
Someone: Fouuund you Ro….
Now be a good boy and drop your antidote.
(Side text- Volume 1 of the manga is now on sale!!)
KOKUSHI MUSOU!!
Ro: Man oh man. 4 on 1 huh? I’m gonna have to break some bones here.
But gimmie a break. I don’t wanna go that far.
(Side text- The beasts gather and aim for the strong! How will Ro attack in response…!?)
TAJIMA KAZUKI

002
Ro: Did you guys not get the memo about the rules? We’re supposed to be making two man teams during this game.
So when did the rules change to include four man teams?
Huh?
Rengoku.
Rengoku: Hahahaah. No need to sweat it Ro. The rules didn’t change or nothin’. This temple’s iron clad rule of two person teams is iron clad.
{1st year A Class Rengoku}
Ro: That’s a relief.
I’m no good at collaborating with others.
Unlike you guys who need to come in bundles…
Otherwise you’re just useless cowards.
(Sfx- Pikuhh *poit*)

003
Dude: Best get off your high horse Ro!!
Even if I’m on my own that’s more than enough to take you down.
{1st year A class Hoira}
Hoira: Rengoku asked me to work with him though, so there’s no helping it.
Chick: Oh? Look who’s talking big now. Especially since you’re just a muscle brained idiot?
Hoira: What’d you say?!
Rengoku: Hey! No infighting!
If you guys wanna go at it wait till after the game is over.
In any case Ro-kun…
A bigshot powerhouse like you is always one step above the rest of us.

004
Rengoku: So why not do us a favor and disappear!?
Ro: Damn…
I don’t have time for this. Hurry up and get it over with!
Rengoku: As if!!
Nyoibou extend!!!

005
Ro: It extended?!
It’s a part of the mysterious series…!?
Rengoku: HAhahaha!! How’s it taste Ro?! Before I came to the peerless temple, I used my bou arts to defend my home village!!
And now I’ll use this to climb up the ranks of the peerless temple, stand at the top and return home a hero!!
You’re in my way Ro!!!

006
Rengoku: He saw through it?!
Can his eyes already follow these movements?!
Ngh…
I can’t pull it out!
Ro: Sorry champ but you’re a long way from being a hero if this is all you’ve got.
The world’s not quite as tiny as you think!

007
(Sfx- Nyaari *grriin*)
Ro: Chains…!?
{1st year A class Elize}
Elize: Did you forget that this is a four on one match?
Hoira: Hey buddy! Keep your eyes on the prize! I’m over here!!

008
Hoira: Gouriki ken!!
(TN- Herculean fist.)
Elize: Awesome! That was straight on!!
Rengoku: No…not yet…
Hoira: Huh?
This guy…he revolved so he ended up on top of my punch…
And avoided taking any damage!!

009
Ro: One down!
Three to go….

010
Hoira: That tickled.
For a rookie that everyone’s got their eyes on you sure don’t amount to much huh…?
Ro: No way…!!
He’s already up and at ‘em again..?!
Dammitall, I guess one more’ll do it….
What?
My leg…
Ngh!!

011
Rengoku: A close one.
Girl: Kyahahah! Run, run as fast as you can!!
{I can’t move my body well…}
(Sfx- Buru buru *shiver shiver*)
Ro: What the hell did you guys do?
What’s this powder?
Chick: It’s paralyzing powder.
{1st year A class: Chomi}
Chomi: I Grind the grass here and mix it.
It’s power is nothing to sneeze at, no? With this the effectiveness of your punches drops by half.

012
???: Which means you don’t have a single chance out of a million to win now!
What’s left now is to pound your ass into grass!!
Ro: Dammitall!!
I see…this dream team is going to be a nightmare for me…!
???: What are you doing there?

013
Meinfisu: I thought I heard a ruckus so I came to check it out. Seems like everyone is having a blast huh?
Everyone: Wha—
Me..
Menfisu!!

014
???: Why are you here?!
Menfisu: Hm? Well I was taking a walk when I heard a strange noise and decided to check it out…
Chomi: W—what’ll we do Rengoku? The top two in the class are here now!!
Rengoku: Nnnn…
Menfisu: Taking a look around here….I see that there’s a 4 on 1 confrontation going on here…that’s not too fair is it?
Rengoku: So? What of it?
It’s not like Master Kujaku said we had to steal the antidote fair and square right?
Which means this game was and still is officially unfair.
Menfisu…hows about you join up with us? He can’t move around all that much…
Menfisu: Sorry but I don’t help out those with ill intent.

015
Menfisu: On that note, I think I’ll join this team.
How about it?
Rengoku: D—
Damn!!
Elize: Wh—wait a minute Rengoku!!
Everyone book it!!

016
Menfisu: Here you go! Chew on this and it’ll get rid of the numbness!
Ro: Don’t want it. Moreover, don’t follow me.
Menfisu: Even if you say that…
They said it already…it looks like we’re already partners.
(Handwritten- Mmmm! So good!)
Menfisu: Or are you saying that there are others who want to team up with you?
Ro: I only want to mesh with the strong.
This game is about ascertaining that right? Then I’ll chose for myself!
Menfisu: Oooh.

017
Menfisu: I get it. Then I’ll have to use my full strength to get you to acknowledge me, yeah?
So until then is it okay that I tag along with you?
Glare all you want, but it doesn’t scare me.
Mugi: It’s been 9 hours since the game began…and the day is drawing to a close.
I wonder how everyone is doing? Is anyone hurt?
….I suppose they’ll be fine. They’re all really strong after all.

018
{It’s because of their strengths that everyone’s lived long enough to get this far.}
{I’m not like them. I’ve just coasted by….being lucky and having others protect me.}
{I don’t have the talent and bravery everyone else has…}
???: I found you!!
Anko: You’re really hanging out here alone and crying?
I just don’t know what to do with you girl….
(Side text- Before the trembling Mugi her former partner Anko appears! What is her objective..?)

And as promised 21! I sort of think there might be a page missing in the public raws. Luckily I have my handy dandy Sunday subscription to save the day! Dunno what you guys are gonna do though.

KOKUSHI MUSOU
(Side text- With a graveyard as the stage, the death match continues!!!)
Crow: GEGEGEHGEH
(Side text- Volume one of the manga is out in stores!!)
Chapter 21: Those who lurk in the forest of death!
Kujaku: It’s been an hour since the trial began…
Monk: Ma’am To be honest this forest creeps me right out.
It’s almost as if time doesn’t pass normally in this place.
Kujaku: Don’t let your hands slip up on that barrier, got it?
Monk: F—forgive me.
(Sfx- Guhhh *sffft*)

002
Kujaku: And it’s obvious why that is. This forest is the final resting ground for the creatures the chief has defeated.
And their bodies though decrepit and decaying have a fearsome amount of evil will emanating from them.
(Sfx- Giku *poit*)
(Side text- The antidote that does no good singly has been stolen!! What will happen to Kid…?)
Kujaku: And now my students are fighting in that evil aura.
This ‘ki’ has the power to strip away the skin from people’s truly wicked hearts.
Monk: Ngh…!!
Is this really going to be okay, Master Kujaku!?! That child is in the first year A class too!
If he should make a mistake and die then…!!
Othermonk: H—hey!

003
Monk: That child is the peerless temple’s…
No…the world’s treasure!!
Kujaku: Treasure you say?
That’s why I have to do this. In these troubled times, that boy might be this world’s messiah or the demon lord himself….
What ends up being the case fully depends on what we do with him right now.
We can’t afford any mistakes with him…
As he has the power to destroy this entire planet….!!

004
Kid: Come back thieveeees!!!
Give me back my antidote!!!
Dude: Gyahahahah! Sorry for yanking your chain back there!!
Otherdude: But we send our sincere thanks for the antidote!!
Kid: You guys suck!! Didn’t you say that we were gonna have a fair and square match?!
Dude: You seriously believed that!? Someone brought you up well buddy!

005
Dude: Weren’t you listening to Master Kujaku’s explanation?!
Fighting in this game is done using tricks!!
So a loser like you should..
Be quiet…
And back off with his tail between his legs!!
Kid: Cough cough!!
Dammit! I can’t see anything!!
Cough…!!

006
Kid: Aww geez…!!
Where’d they go?
What do I do?
It’s gonna be a pain to find those guys in a forest this huge…
That’s it!!

006
Dude: Heheh…that went well.
Otherdude: Yeah. I didn’t even think we’d score this early on. This is awesome.
Dude: It’s all thanks to your plan.
Otherdude: Man what are you even saying? It was thanks to your guidance this went well!
(Sfx- Smile.)
Dude: Anyway lets get that antidote out and kiss this poison goodbye!!
Otherdude: Yeah!!
Well…
One of us needs to take both of these pills for the antidote to take effect….so which of us will it be?

007
Dude: It’s my turn first right?
It’s like you said man, my guidance is what lead to this victory.
Otherdude: But it was me who thought of the plan in the first place….
So I should take the antidote first!
Dude: Quit spouting stupid stuff. Do you think you would have been able to get the antidote on your own with your flimsy little plan? Huuuuh?
Otherdude: Back at you fool. Quit acting like you did everything alone.

008
Dude: Huuh?! What the hell are you doing?!
Trying to save yourself is dirty man!
Otherdude: Shut the hell up! You’ll be fine for a little longer right? The poison’s already basically spread around my whole body!!
Dude: It’s the same for you dammit! What lies are you spouting from your perfectly fine lips you damn fashionista?!
Otherdude: Who the hell are you calling a fashionista huh?! Yeah I look good when compared to you, but that’s cause you’re an idiot who doesn’t know anything!
Dude: What’d you say?!
Wanna go?
Otherdude: Sounds great.
Dude: If you want to apologize better do it now.
Otherdude: Back at’cha.

009
Kid: FOUND YOU THIEVES!!!
Otherdude: Wha?! You’re the kid from earlier!
(Sfx- Sutaaah *tap*)
Otherdude: This is stupid! We totally left you in our dust!!
Why and how did you catch up with us here?!

010
Kid: I could chase you guys anywhere!
As for finding you, I just followed my nose!!
Dude: What?
Otherdude: I smell that strong?
Kid: No, it’s that antidote that stinks to high heaven!
As long as you’ve got those in your arm rings I can follow you anywhere!
Dude: Can you smell anything?
Otherdude: No. Was that guy raised by wolves?
Kid: Give me back that antidote! It’s mine!

011
Dude: Hell no small fry!
That antidote belongs to me now!
Otherdude: You mean it belongs to me, right?
Kid: Uwaaaaaah!!

012
Kid: Huh?!
Dude: Seeiyah!!
Kid: Hup!
Uwaaah!
Dude: Damn. Thought I’d crack his head open, but he’s one slippery little freak.
Kid: Dang! They’re actually pretty strong!! Their teamwork is something else!
I’m gonna have to aim for their vitals if I wanna do any damage!
Dude: Of course. We’ve been a team since we enrolled here.
Otherdude: There’s no way you can defeat us.
Both: And now the finisher!!!

013
Othedude: Hey! Stay out of my way! He’s my prey!!
Dude: No…he’s mine!!
Kid: What’s with them?
Otherdude: AAAH!! FORGET THIS!!
Dude: Knock it off dammit! You’ve been getting in my way since earlier you overgrown turd!!
Otherdude: That’s obviously you dammit! You always only think of yourself!!

014
Otherdude: I’m not gonna take it easy on you anymore.
(Handwritten- Howaaah!!)
Dude: Wanna go then?!
Kid: Um excuse me.
(Handwritten- Just a sec…)
Dude: I’ll kill you!!
Otherdude: I’d like to see you try!!
Kid: Do you not…
Hear what I’m saying?

015
Kid: QUIT IGNORING ME!!
Dudes: C—crap!!
This isn’t the time to be fighting!!

016
(Sfx- Uwaaaaaaaaaaaah!!)
Kid: Ooh! Look at ‘em fall into the water!!
I’m not sure if they were friends or not.
They ARE weird at any rate.
Hmm…..?
Did I forget something?
GAAAAAH!! THE ANTIDOTE!!!
I FORGOT TO STEAL IT!!!

017
Someone: Fouuund you Ro…
Now be a good boy and drop your antidote.
Ro: Oh man.
4 on 1 is it? Guess I’m gonna have to shatter some bones.

Chapter 24 is awesome. So awesome that it stirred the heart of a madman within me and pushes me to do two chapters tonight in an effort to get to it. (Why not all the way to 24? I am still lazy. Mou! >3<)

(Side text- Volume one of the manga is now on sale!!)
KOKUSHI MUSOU!!
Dude: Aaaaaaaaghhhhhh
It’s poison! Poison is seeping through me…!!
Someone: Wh—what?! What are you talking about?! Poison!?
(Sfx- Chkuhh *tippp*)
Kid: Ow!
(Sfx- Dota dota *drip drip*)
(Side text- Risking their lives to decide on allies!!)
Kid: These arm rings are injecting poison into our bodies!!
Gihyou: Take the arm rings off everyone!!
???: Don’t.
Chapter 20: Prey.
TAJIMA KAZUKI

002
Kujaku: Those arm rings are to stay on you until the end of this game.
Without a special ‘ki’ they won’t come off….which means no one other than I can remove them.
Ro: What’s the meaning of this Kujaku..!
What the hell are you trying to do?
(Side text- Can Kid come out of this trial safely and then team up with Ro?!)
Kujaku: It’s just like I said.
In 24 hours…
Those ugly marks will spread over your entire body and you’ll die.
There’s only one way to save yourselves….and that’s the poison antidote in the arm rings…
(Sfx- Kachihhh *click*)

003
Kid: It reeks! What’s with this capsule’s smell..?!
(Sfx- Aaaan)
Kid: But if I take this I’ll be saved…!!
Gihyou!
Gihyou: Wait up Kid…
The master’s explanation seems kinda halfassed don’tcha think?
Kujaku: That was close…
If you slip up it’s really over.

004
Kujaku: You see this antidote possesses a special quality…it only takes effect if two pills are taken at the same time.
Kid: Two? What are you talking about?
There’s only one capsule of medicine in each of the arm rings!
Kujaku: Ugh. You guys sure are slow.
There are plenty of antidotes around right?
Since every one of you here has the antidote….
It’s simple enough to steal one right?
Gihyou: Th—then you mean…

005
Dude: So you want us to break apart our friendships…
And then within that pool of people make teams…?!
Kujaku: Yup…
Absolutely right.
Dude: D---
DON’T SCREW WITH US!!
How the hell are we gonna differentiate between friend and foe like that huh!? The hell kind of team building exercise is this?!

006
Kujaku: Not knowing who’s a friend and who’s an enemy…
Don’t you all think there’s a meaning behind that too?
Dude: Huh?
Kujaku: Can you really say that you can trust your own friends…?
That if something happened that they wouldn’t just betray you?
Dude: Well…that’s..
Kujaku: Let me give it to you straight. The relationships you’ve built up thus far..
Are really just for outward appearances.
True trust is something born when one’s life is on the line.
The thing you all believed was ‘friendship’ will…
Lead to doubt and betrayal which will then lead you to wander in the abyss.

007
Kujaku: It is up to you to probe the darkest layers of that abyss and find the light that is partnership before 24 hours are up…
My foolish students.

008
Kid: Heheh. This sounds sorta fun, yeah?
Can I just be straight up about something?
I’m not about to die cause of some poison.
So just you watch, master.
Kujaku: Heh…
Are you ready?
Meinfisu: Ro-kun, I’d like you to really consider our earlier conversation.
Kujaku: Then..

009
Kujaku: Let the second game begin!!
{Time till poison takes effect: 23:59}

010
Kujaku: Good. They’ve hidden themselves well.
I know it without them saying a word…this game’s method is pretty harsh.
And what are you doing?
Monk: Eh?
Kujaku: Construct the barrier around this grave area immediately!
Monk: Y—yes ma’am!

011
Mugi: I have no idea what to do….other than hope no one finds me here…
Everyone’s out to steal the antidote for sure…
And they’re bound to start off by targeting weaklings like me!
I’m glad I got separated from Anko-chan…
If I were with her, there’s no doubt I’d be a nuisance….
???: Uwaaaaaaaaah!!!
Mugi: A scream?!
And it’s pretty close…
Dude: W—wait a sec Moloch!! We’re classmates right?!
Moloch: Gimme your antidote before I use my fists to take it.

012
Dude: Wait man!!
Even if you take the medicine from me it’s not enough to clear the game’s conditions!!
Y—yeah! How about this…we team up!
That way we’re untouchable! We can even steal the other guy’s antidotes!
C’mon man! Lets do---
Ugaaah?!
Moloch: Shut the hell up. Your yammering hurts my ears, ya two faced shitbag.
What I wanna hear out of your noise hole is whether you’re going to ‘give’ me that antidote or ‘not give it to me’. Which is it?

013
Moloch: Best choose your words carefully.
If you say some feeble shit about partnership again then I might be liable to rip that snake tongue right out of your putrid mouth.
Dude: Hiiii!!
W—wait!!
I—I hid my antidote!!
If you kill me you’ll never find it!!
Mugi: That’s pretty smart..!!
If the medicine is hidden, people can’t randomly attack others!!
Moloch: Oh?
I get it then. That’s how it is. Hiding your antidote’s not a bad idea.

014
Moloch: But I’m the wrong opponent for that sorta thing…
Since I hate being bored.
I’ll just look for other prey after I’ve killed you.
Ro: A scream….so someone’s fighting?
In a situation like this it’s not gonna be easy to find a partner that one can put their complete trust in, much less team up with.
Trust huh…
Hmph…
This game is gonna be tough for me.

015
Kid: Crap!!
I lost sight of ‘im!!
That friggin’ Ro!! Where did he go?! Hah hah…
I can’t find Mugi or Gihyou either…did a monster just pop out over there?!
Dang. I was thinking I could find Ro and we’d just team up until time is up…
Wait! No, I gotta find the antidote like yesterday.
Guy: Hey you!!
Are you alone?!

016
Dude: I’m alone too so it’s all good!
Wanna have a match over the antidotes?
Kid: …What do you mean?
Dude: I’m talking about a fair and even match over who gets the antidotes.
Cause for real we’ve really got to handle this problem in a hurry.
But I’m not trying to play you!! If you want I’ll even strip down to prove it!
Kid: I don’t really doubt you though?
See, my pops said that it’s better to trust people rather than doubt ‘em! So yeah, lets fight!
Dude: Eh?

017
Dude: Okay…well lets do this. Put your antidote here.
Kid: Okay!
(Sfx- Suuhh *sfft*)
Kid: All right let’s move back a little from the antidote. I mean we’d be in an assload of trouble if we lost it right?
Dude: Oh? Yeah you’re right.
You’re pretty smart arentcha?
Kid: It’s just common sense.
Dude: No, no. You’re pretty awesome.
Just as I thought.
….You’re an complete idiot.
Did you really think I was gonna do it?

018
Dude: ‘That I’d team up with you’?...
Otherdude: Got the antidote!!
You moron! You really believed that?!

And now the current arc in the manga commenses. I'm getting those Anagle mole inspired 'What will the series do after this' vibes....though I guess unlike that title there are things it could do. Maybe.

Chapter 19: The Curtain rises on the final trial.
(Side text- Before the trial, Ro is deep within his training!!)
KOKUSHI MUSOU
Ro: Silently…silently….
I calm the waves within my soul…
TAJIMA KAZUKI

(Sfx- Pichaah *driiip*)
(Side text- Man of solitude Ro Uei….what is his reason for fighting…?)

003
???: Big brother! Big brother!!
If you slack off and skip training here again Dad’ll get angry.
Ro: Whatever. I’m fine. I don’t want to be a martial artist like Dad anyway.
Sis: It’s not that you don’t want to, it’s that you can’t isn’t it?
Big brother, you’re the weakest one in the village.
Ro: Shut up!! I just hate violence!!
Sis: Geez! This isn’t the kinda world where you can say that sort of stuff and be able to live!
Well…I guess you can’t help it!
I’ll always protect you big brother!!

004
Ro: Father!! Mother!!
No!! Please don’t die!!
???: Painful isn’t it?
Struggling against your own powerlessness Ro…
Sis: Run away Big brother…
He’s no mere fighter…
Ro: Stop it…don’t you dare lay a finger on my little sister…
I’ll kill you…I’ll definitely kill you!!
STOOOOOOOOOOP!!!

005
Ro: Puwah!!
Hah
Hah
Ngh…
Kid: Hmm. So training your stoma over water is really effective huh?
Calming your heart and soul is fundamental for effective use of the stoma…
Iiiiinteresting.
Ro: How may I help you?

006
Ro: Kid…
Kid: Nihihi.
Today’s the day for the game. I couldn’t get a wink of sleep…
And who do I see slipping out of the dorms in the morning? It’s you Ro!!
Ro: …I heard that you weren’t gonna be participating in the second trial.
Kid: NO NEED TO WORRY! Master gave me permission to participate!!
Ro: That’s greaat.
Damn…!!!
And? Did you come all the way out here just to tell me that?
Or are you just bored too?
Kid: Nah it’s not like that. I just wanted to say something to you before this game began.
Ro: What is it?

007
Kid: Ro…I absolutely positively…
Want to become your partner!!
Ro: That again? Did you not hear what I said before?
Kid: I’m different than I was before.
My resolve is completely different.
Ro: I don’t know what you talked with Samo about but…
My answer hasn’t changed.
‘I only team up with those who are strong’.
Kid: And that’s cool!!

008
Ro: Oh? Well good luck.
Kid: Heheh…
I know you’re probably thinking that it’s impossible for me to meet your standards Ro…
But I know all too well….you have no friends Ro!
I’ve spied with my little ‘eye’ that you’ve got a nasty reputation with some, while others are completely frightened of you!! Basically your surroundings are full of hostility!!
Which means basically…no one other than me even wants to team up with you, Ro!!
Ushishishishsihsi!!
(Sign- Assembly place for second trial)
???: Hey…this is where we’re supposed to meet for the second game?

009
{Shuffle Game// Second part assembly place//Aster cemetery.}
Gihyou: Are we being punished for something?
Dude: Noway!! There are ghosts here aren’t they?!
Anko: What’s with you? Aren’t you supposed to be a man? Laaaame.
???: I see you’ve all gathered here ladies and gentlemen of 1st year class A!
Dude: You’re late Master Kujaku!
Gihyou: Hm?

010
Kujaku: And now…
The second part of the Shuffle game begins.
Kid: Whoa…
Look at her eyes! She’s a serious as a heart attack!!
Kujaku: Before we start the game…I’d like to ask if you remember ‘The true objective of this game’?
This game’s objective is not to team people up or decrease the number of entrants.

011
Kujaku: The game’s true objective is…
Kid: The true objective?
Kujaku: In short…
To peel off the skin of the ‘monster’ on all of you.
And beyond that to find you partners that you can truly believe in.
Kid: S—Skin of the monster?
Kujaku: Humans ordinarily cover themselves with this skin.
In order to hide that uglier side of themselves from others they hide in a skin of lies..
But then don’t you think that true faith would be impossible to foster in within these falsities?
Kid: I—I get it…

012
Kujaku: Now…those participating in the game have to first put on these arm rings.
Line up in order and come here.
But what should we do partner?
This method of partnering up is what might bring us closer to getting the scroll of secrets..
If only there was a way to find out which of us is strongest at martial arts….
Aaggh!?
Whaaa?

013
Moloch: Who the fuck is standing in my way?
I’ll kill ‘em.
Dude: I really don’t want to team up with Moloch though..
In the first place, is there anyone who wants to take that risk
Who else is pretty awesome here…?
Sengyoku: Dum dum dee doo~ God made a mistake when allotting each their talents~
Who’s the man who inherited it all? That is a secret~ Sengyoku-kun~ (Lyrics and composition by Sengyoku.)
Dude: Yeah…how about not.
Sengyoku is strong and stuff, but he’s an idiot.

014
Dude: Man…those two are the only strong ones in our class huh?
Yup…it’s not just us who won’t team up with them, but everyone who considers them hot stuff.
Kujaku: Next…
Ro Uei!
Dude: Speaking of rumors…
Ro Uei…ever since he joined, he’s been too strong to place in a group. He’s this semester’s hottest item!

015
Meinfisu: Looks like things are getting started huh Ro-kun?
I can sense a strong ‘energy’ emanating from everyone…they’re all ready and raring to go huh?

Dude: Menfisu…he’s got a chance for the top seat too.
Yup! He’s strong, and he’s got a pretty good personality too! He’s an honor student!
Ro: What do you want?
Menfisu: Nothing big Ro-kun!

016
Menfisu: Wanna team up?
Whaaaaaat?!
Two powerhouses like them teaming up?!
Kid: T—that’s impossible!! At this rate Ro’s gonna get snatched away from me!!

017
Kujaku: Now that you’re all wearing your arm rings, let me explain this game.
It’s very simple so I’ll only say it once!
The conditions for completion are teaming up with one another.
That’s it!!
Guy: Eh?! That’s it?
That isn’t even a game!!
Anko: This is a walk in the park!
(Sfx- Chikihhh *poke*)
Dude: Ow!
What’s this?
The arm ring poked me….

018
(Sfx- Dokuhh dokuhh *Throob throb*)
Dude: …?! What is this?! A needle?!
Something is flowing into my body…!!!
Kujaku: It’s poison.
And within 24 hours all of you will die~
Oh, and let me add just a little new condition…for those who want to remain alive after 24 hours and complete the game…
There’s only one way to keep your lives…and that is to find the special needle and get it for yourselves!

Gihyou: Y—you idiot!!
Kid: Ngh…
Gihyou: What’ll happen to us if Master Kujaku finds us?!
Chieri: Heheh…that’s one hotheaded brat up there….what’s he goin’ on about….pride?

003
Chieri: Bullshit!!
You ain’t gonna get anywhere if you use something as flimsy as that as your foothold!!
I ain’t playin’ games kiddo. Life is something where you gotta steal before you get stolen from. Whether it’s money, a reputation, lives or power…if you want ‘em..
You gotta take ‘em with your full strength!!
Lets do this guys!! First lets set fire to that place there and snatch up all of the gold!!
(Sfx- Kiriri *reeeeh*)
Guys: Yessir!!

004
Both: UWAAAAAAH!!!
Kujaku: …Ngh..!!
I won’t allow it!!

005
Kujaku: Hah!!!
Dude: Whaaat?!
The arrow’s flames are going out before they even GET there!!
What the hell is she?!

006
Kujaku: None of you all are hurt right…?
Gihyou: Y—yess’m!!
We’re all absolutely fine!!

007
Kujaku: I see..
That’s good.
(Sfx- Hah Hah)
Chieri: Heh…
Hahahaahahahah!!!
Heh…splendid…you really are something.
So the rumors that you guys will even become meat shields to protect your students are true huh?

008
Chieri: So if it’s for your brats you’re willing to do anything…
I heard that you guys are a bunch of demons…
But it turns out demons have emotions too huh?
Kujaku: …Dunno…
I couldn’t tell you if this here is the thing known as emotion.
But truly what is it that a master can give her student?
Something like ‘being rough’ or ‘protecting their life’? Shouldn’t they be able to do that much?
Kid: Master!!
(Sfx- Tan *tp*)
Guys: She’s coming right for us?!
Fire!! Fire!! She’s gonna kill us if she makes it over here!!

009
Dudes: Hiii!!
Chieri: Don’t you get it?
It’s cause you stupidly hold on to things like emotions..
That you’re gonna die right here..
Right now!!
Kujaku: Wrong.
They say ‘The road of martial arts is one that shoulders heavy burdens and is smeared with mud’…

010
Kujaku: It’s because I owe so much….
That my fist leaves a resounding impression!!
Guys: B—boss!!
That’s impossible!!
Kujaku: Whew…
I’m pooped…

011
Students: YEAAAAAAAH!!
Did you see that awesomeness just now?!
She took Chieri down in one hit!!
Kujaku myouou banzai!!
Banzaiii!!
Gihyou: Kid!! Hey Kid!!
Kid: What’s up Gihyou?
Gihyou: What my ass!! We’ve gotta book it right now!!
I was able to manipulate my voice so it fooled the master…
But we’ve gotta get back before they discover we’re here!!
C’mon! Lets go!
Kid: Y—yeah!!

012
{First year area.}
Gihyou: Weew…somehow we managed to get out of there.
Anko: If we don’t get back to the dormitories they’ll suspect something is up.
The girls dorms are this way so later!
Mugi: See you tomorrow Kid-kun!
Gihyou: Awwright.
Well lets head back and put those homework answers to good use!!
With this answer book, it’ll be a cinch!
Kid: Gihyou….
Yanno, I don’t think I’ll need that after all.
Gihyou: Wha?!

013
Gihyou: What are you blabbering about?!
You remember how much trouble we had to go through to get these right?!
Kid: Yeah, I know.
But I think I understand it a little better now….that whole thing about what is most important to a martial artist.
Gihyou: I see. Well that’s cool.
You understand now?
Kid: Yup! Thanks!
Gihyou: Well…if you ever find yourself in a real jam just speak up, hear?
I’m always ready to help out a pal, brah!
Oh! If you wanna do homework you should go use the library! It’s real quiet there and there are plenty of books for you to use!
(Sfx- Pon)
Gihyou: Here’s the key and a map!
Kid: Thanks a lot!!!

{Late that night.}
(Sign- Library.)
Kid: Nnngh…Nngh…I don’t get it.
Dammit…this studying thing sucks.
I dunno when it’ll ever end though…
Man! I should have gotten Gihyou to help!!
No! I can’t!!
Kid: I decided I’d do this on my own!
I’m a guy who can do what needs to be done when the time comes!
I know I can!!

015
(Handwritten- Hmmm Hmmm.)
(Handwritten- Ah! Wait I sort of understand this!!)
(Handwritten- Hmmm… Hmmm)
Kujaku: Ahh…oww. My injuries hurt so much that I didn’t get any sleep…
I wonder if the health room is open yet…
Hm?
There’s a light in the library…?
Did someone forget to put a candle out?

016
Kujaku: Kid?
This is all the homework I gave him….was he doing it here the whole night?

017
Kujaku: They’re all pretty much wrong though…
(Handwirtten- Though the answers sections are all full.)
Kid: Mnnnn…

You and I both did our best huh?
At least you figured out the answer to the final answer huh?

Finally all caught up with this thing. It's my hope now that I'm pretty much done with my graduate degree that I'll be able to do this, Anagle Mole and Gintama weekly with other manga such as Nejimaki intermittently on the side. I haven't really ever done more than two series weekly though so its to be seen whether I can pull it off or not. People have said this feels like HXH, but I think with this chapter it feels more like A combination of that, One piece, and Kenichi. Whether it'll be better than the sum of it's parts is unknown I guess...but Shogakukan is pimping the hell out of it.

(Side text- We will protect the mecca of martial arts; the peerless temple! We are the Myouou!!}

Someone: Pirates!!
The pirates have come!!
All students should take refuge in the dormitories!!
Immediately!!
Kid: Wh—what are we gonna do? This is sorta really bad isn’t it?!
Does this sorta thing happen often?
Anko: In order to make a name for themselves, I’ve heard some guys will target the peerless temple…
But I’ve never seen a fleet this huge come here before!!
Mugi: W—we should run! If we go to the first year dormitories we should be safe!!
Gihyou: It’ll be fine I tell ya! After all the peerless temple has the instructors looking out for it!!

003
Kid: But those guys look really tough.
That’s what my gut is telling me.
Gihyou: Kid, understand this much.
Yeah those guys are really bad news.
{Their boss is Cheiri, known as the Guillotine man. His arm strength is apparently enough to twist the head off an elephant.}
{His kill count is well into the thousands, and he’s a villain that is on the world’s most wanted list.}
Gihyou: Look over there.
Even his own men are shaking in fear of him.

004
???: Hold it right there!! Stop!!
Guards: Wh—what have you pirates come here for?!
This is a mecca for martial artists! This is neither a place that welcomes or has any need for you!
Cheiri: Aw. No need to be so cold there gents.
As priests of the peerless temple, you should be more kind and gentle to guests right?
Guards: What are your demands? Water? Rations?!
Chieri: Kakakah! Nah, I’ve got so much of that stuff I can’t even keep count of it!
(Sfx- Wahahah.)
Chieri: We’re pirates you know?

005
Chieri: So if there’s something that we want, we use brute strength to take it!!
Lets start off by taking those meaningless lives of yours…!!
Guard: Hii!!
Chieri: Kill ‘em.
Glasses: Prepare the cannon!!
Fire!!
Dude: Guh!!

006
Priest: Now hold it right there Pirates…If there’s something you want from us..
How about we chat about it first?

He cut the cannonball?!

Gundari: Excuse me for being a pretty boy.
(Sfx- Muh)

008
Students: It’s a Myouou!! They’ve come!!
Thank goodness! We’re going to be safe then!!
Kid: Wh—what?! Everyone’s hyped now that he showed up!
Pirate: B—Boss! It’s impossible!! That guy is a monster!!
Cheiri: Kakakaa So those are the rumored Peerless temple Myouou I’ve heard so much about? Fascinating.
???: Geez…
That idiot had to go and make a big show of it…
Pirates: Who’s there?!

009
{3rd year A class instructor// Fudou Myouou}
Fudou: Geez. Who does he think the old man is going to take this out on?
Oh?
Pirates: Wha?!
Hey!! What the hell are you doing…?!
UGYAAAH?!!?

010
{1st year E class instructor// Kongouyasha Myouou.}
Kongouyasha: Fudou. Get to work.
Fudou: No way. I hate doing anything that requires work.
Kongouyasha: Then quit being a Myouou.
Cheiri: Hey…lets sink the ship with them on it.
Glasses: What are you saying Cheiri?! We’ve still got crewmembers riding that ship!!
Cheiri: Did you not hear my order…?

011
Cheiri: When I say do something, you do it.
Because there are plenty of guys around here who can replace you.
Glasses: Y—yessir!!
Prepare the cannon!!
(Sfx- Gachaah *clack*)
(Sfx- Gachaah *clack*)
Glasses: Close in on that ship!!
Kid: They’re gonna shoot their crewmates?!
Gihyou: What kind of guys are they that they’d think nothing of blasting their buddies?
Pirates: It’s the bosses’ order! Fire!!

012
Pirates: GYAAAAAAAAH!!?
Fudou: About time.
Pirate: B—boss!! One of the ships has been attacked!!
Cheiri: I can see that.
Geez…one after the other…
{3rd year C class instructor// Daiitoku Myouou}
Daiitoku: Heheheh…
With the power of my stoma this is child’s play.

013
Pirates: D—dammitall!! Fire! Kill them all!!
Hiii!! Whaaa!!
Dnghh!!
Cheiri: Just what the hell are you people?

014
Kujaku: We are the guardians of this mecca…
{1st year A class instructor// Kujaku Myouou}
Dudes: AWWRIIIGHT!!
Kid: Huh? Is that Master Kujaku?!
Gihyou: Of course man!
Our instructors are also the strongest fighters in the peerless temple! Each one of them is a myouou who guards this place!!

015
Kid: She’s so bossy and mean! I can’t believe it.
(Handwritten- Heheeheee You’re just a newb! So no training for you! But here’s plenty of homework.)
Gihyou: Well…Master Kujaku is for one reason or another extremely strict to you and just you.
Cheiri: Hahahah. Fascinating.
If I take your heads then my name will be known even to the heavens.
Kujaku: Cheiri the guillotine…isn’t your name already on the world’s most wanted list?
Isn’t it about time you find a snug fit in some policeman’s cuffs?
Cheiri: Kakah…What and miss the opportunity to keep wrecking shit up? No way. Though to be honest plucking a woman’s head off her body isn’t my thing, but…
Killing everyone and anyone who bears their fangs at me is!!

016
Cheiri: Ngh…
A distraction?!
(Sfx- Zahhh *sfft*)
Kid: She got behind him!!
Kujaku: Yousouken!!
(TN- Falcon talon fist)

017
Cheiri: Fool.
(Sfx- Ton *tap*)
Kujaku: Anki?!
(TN- The kanji combination is ‘Dark vessel’ which I’m not sure has any significance right now. It seems like it’ll be important later (maybe?) so I’ll just leave it like this. I guess scantlators can use ‘Dark vessel’ if they want.)

018
Cheiri: Die!!!
(Side text- A single strike to Kujaku!! What will her fate be…?!)
Kid: MASTER KUJAKU!!!

Please no more extra pages and long info dumps. You can have one but not the other Tajima-sensei. Choose one and submit it to me by Monday.

Students: Hah!!!
Hah!!!
(Side text- Tough training at the mecca of martial arts!!)
KOKUSHI MUSOU
Kujaku: Put your bodies into it!!!
Hey you there! No slacking off!!
Students: Hah!
Hah!
(Sfx- Fuhh *wffft*)

003
Students: Hah.
Hah.
Hah.
Hah.
Hah!
Hah!!
Kujaku: It’s actually worse than I expected…
Which is exactly what I expected…
Kid, I have a special menu prepared for you.
Kid: Special menu?!
Could it be super special move lessons?!
I’ve been waiting for this!!!

004
Kujaku: You can spend some time in that corner with the homework I gave you earlier.
(On podium- Study.)
Kujaku: Now then leaving that aside, lets finish our training.
Kid: WAIT A SECOND!!
WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE WITH HOMEWORK?!
Kujaku: What are you talking about?
You’re a total newbie to martial arts right? So it’s only natural you’d need to start off with the foundations of common knowledge!
Oh and I should add that until you finish your homework you can’t participate in the game, nor will you be allowed to learn any martial arts.
Kid: Nnnnngh.

005
Kid: Why am I doing this then?!
If the game is in three days then I need to get stronger and on the double!!
Teach me martial arts!!
Kujaku: If someone steps on those fragments they could get hurt.
Be sure to clean those up.
Kid: Master!!
Kujaku: Pick it up.

006
Kujaku: I had some expectations for you…
And maybe I shouldn’t say this but I’m really disappointed.
Kid…
Do you understand what the most important thing is to a martial artist?
Kid: What’s that?
Kujaku: That’s your homework too. Until you understand that much don’t bother coming to practice.
Kid: But…I have no idea what that is.

007
Kid: Dammit, she’s just messin with me because I’m a newbie. Masters shouldn’t be able to do that sorta thing.
There’ can’t be a right answer to that.
‘What’s most important to a martial artist’?! What’s with that?
I totally don’t get it!
And with all of this homework she gave me already, I could be at this for days and still never be done!!
Ahh dammit!! Unlucky me being stuck with a demon for a master!
Gihyou: Hahahah! Sucks to be you doesn’t it bro!?
Kid: Ah!

008
Kid: Gihyou!
Gihyou: Hey Kid! Sorry I’m late, but I’m here to pick you up!
Kid: Pick me up?
Gihyou: Dude did you forget already?!
I said I’d help you with your homework right?
Remember? In the cafeteria?
Kid: Oh yeah!
Answer sheet?
Gihyou: Yup! If you had the answer sheet, you could just copy off of it! Then that mountain of homework is a thing of the past!!
How about it? Sounds sweet huh?!
Kid: I’ll say! This food is real sweet!
Gihyou: LISTEN TO ME WILL YA?!

009
Anko: More like, how are you going to get the answer sheet?
I haven’t seen anything like that anywhere in the temple…
Mugi: This whole thing sounds suspicious Kid-kun.
Gihyou: Hey! Are you guys doubting me?!
There’s a route to it that only I know about!!
I swear to you that I’m not lying!!
Anko: Well if you ask me Gihyou, it sounds like you’re always up to something suspicious.
Gihyou: How about you stop saying things that’ll create misunderstandings.
Mugi: You shouldn’t do this Kid-kun.
Just work hard on your homework. I’ll be glad to help.
Kid: I’m with you bro!!
Gihyou: Now that’s what I’m talking about! Okay after lessons end for today, lets gather under the main gate!
Mugi: Kid-kun!
Anko: Aww let him be Mugi. From the bottom of my heart I could care less what happens to him.

010
{Below the main gate.}
Gihyou: Awwright Kid, we’re here.
Kid: Hey…why’d we come here anyway?
There’s a scary pig dude guarding this gate, and there’s a barrier too.
So is there any point to coming here?
Gihyou: The point? Well obviously to sneak through.
Kid: Where?
Gihyou: Through that gate.
Kid: HUUUUUH?! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!
???: What indeed.

011
Mugi: Kid-kun!!
Kid: Mugi! And…Anko.
Mugi: I really think you shouldn’t do this Kid-kun. If you’re found here the gate keeper will kill you.
Gihyou: Who’s said anything about going in from the front?
Mugi: Eh? You’re not?
(Sfx- Gosohh *shffit*)
(Sfx- Gakooon *clack*)

012
Kid: Whooooa! Awesome!!
It’s an underground path!!!
Mugi: No way..!!
I can’t believe it!! There’s a path down here?
Gihyou: Like it?!
Kid: Awesome!!! Sweeeet!!
Dude, does this path go all the way outside?!
Gihyou: Yeah. No.
This road will take us outside, but only to the first year’s area.
Kid: First year’s area?
Gihyou: This temple has different areas depending on what year you’re in.
(On chart- 3rd year area//2nd year area//1st year area.)
Gihyou: We’re first years so our area is the most closed in of them all.
(Outside- Sea.)

013
Anko: What the hell are you thinking? If the masters find out you’ll be doing pushups for six hours straight!
Gihyou: Then you guys can wait there.
I’m gonna help my bro in any way I can.
Huh? You’re coming too Mugi?
Mugi: I—I just can’t leave Kid-kun on his own!
Gihyou: And you’re coming too Anko?
Anko: If Mugi’s going, there’s no way I’m not going too.
Kid: Dang. I thought I’d be lucky enough to be able to leave completely.
Gihyou: Leave? You mean outside of the peerless temple?

014
Kid: Yeah man! I wanna get out of here…
And meet my father as soon as possible!
Anko: Oh? So you want to get out of the temple?
You’re one reckless guy you know that?
Lets say you were able to get out of here…
With your current level of strength you’d just die immediately.
Kid: T—That’s not true!!
I’ve got a tough body and stuff…
Anko: And you’re also more of a scardy cat than I thought.
Gihyou: I wouldn’t go hoping to head outside without training some more bro.
There are even named martial artists dying out there.
There are vicious beasts no one’s ever seen before…bandits that’ll decapitate you without a second thought, and sicknesses that’ll have you whorfing up blood for all of eternity. The outside is hell on earth.
Although studying here in the peerless temple is strict, but it’s the safest place to be.

015
(Sfx- Gokuhhh *gulp*)
Anko: Well there are plenty of bad guys hoping something or someone will fall out of the temple.
If you end up failing or falling out of here then there’s no coming back.
(Sfx- Gyuuhh *grab*)
Anko: D—don’t worry about it Mugi!! I’ll protect you!
Gihyou: Anyway, this path was originally created by those aforementioned bad guys.
And while we’re on the subject here we are!
(Sfx- Kapahh *poof*)
Gihyou: Phew!!
Don’ t be scared…
This is the paradise in paradise…

016
Gihyou: Lap of luxury!!
(TN- It says Comfort seat, but I thought Lap of luxury sounded better and kept the same meaning.)
Gihyou: This is where people gather in the peerless temple when they need stuff, cause you can get pretty much anything….be it weapons or books.
And it’s the one place on the island where you can get your entertainment on in the pleasure quarter. Even if you have fun all night long you still wouldn’t have experienced everything!

017
Kid: I knew that coming out here was the right thing to do…
Gihyou: Hm?
Kid: Nothing man!
Thanks Gihyou!!
Gihyou: Hehehe. Stop that.
Well anyway, it’s good you’ve got your groove back.
No matter what, you’ve gotta stay positive!
That’s my policy brah!!
(Sfx- Gehoh *cough*)
Kid: Despite looks you’re actually a pretty good guy!
Gihyou: And what does THAT mean?
(Sfx- Dosuh *thok*)
(Sfx- Ahahaha)

018
Gihyou: Awwright! Lets go and have some fun!!
For men, taking a break is essential!!
Kid: Hell yeah! I like the way you think bro!!
Anko: Hey! Weren’t you going to buy the answer sheet?!
Geez. Why did they even come here?!
Mugi: …Th—That’s right.
Anko: W—well…I guess relaxation is important for girls too.
Yeah.
Anyway! Lets go have some fun too!!
(Sfx- Guiii *grab*)
Mugi: Wah!
Thanks Anko-chan.
Anko: For what?
Mugi: Ron.
(Handwritten- THIS AGAIN?!)
Gihyou: Beautiful!!!
Some dude: Bravo!!
???: Whew! We had a blast!!
(Sign- Tea house.)
???: And we even managed to buy the answer sheet, so mission complete.

019
Gihyou: Now all you need to do is finish your homework…
But no need to worry…Imma help you on that too bro…
Anko: It’s pretty obvious that you boys don’t have the energy to stand up, much less do homework.
Kid: Wait! I think I get it now!! The most important thing to a martial artist!!
Mugi: What’s that?
Kid: Master Kujaku told me….she said it was a part of my homework.
Gihyou: Oh? Is this about the stoma thing?

020
Kid: What’s that noise?
Gihyou: H—hey…that bell is…
People: Pirates!!
Pirates have come!!
Pirate: Boss! We’ve reached our destination!
Boss: All right. Prepare battle stations, and advance. Don’t let a single one go.
Pirate: Yessir!
Been a while since I’ve seen some blood.
Although it’d be cool if they just saw the boss and took off runnin’.

021
???: Heheheh…I already know…
I can feel the presence of strong martial artists here.
I’ll get me a head of one of those peerless brats even if it means tearing it off myself.
{Cheiri Pirate Crew head Cheiri Galib.}
???: Hey! IT’s the Cheiri!! Cheiri and his pirate crew!!
Head hunter Cheiri is here!!
Hey quit pushing!!
Kid: T—This seems like bad news Gihyou!!
Gihyou: D—don’t worry Kid, we’ll be okay…!

022
Gihyou: The masters are all here to protect this paradise’s peace from guys like them.
???: There are …6….7 pirate ships.
So Cheiri has gotten bigger guns has he?
Shall we get started?
This is part of the job too after all.
(Bottom text- Ouside enemies assault the peerless temple! What reception will the masters show them…?!)
TO BE CONTINUED IN ISSUE 52.

[English] [Translation] Kokushi Musou!! 15 by Bomber D Rufi

2013-12-01T03:03:31+00:00

The battle continues....Though it seems like we're getting new characters. That's a sign of longevity right?

Chapter 15: A newbie’s wall…?!
???: Is that all for your emergency report…?
Well…how are things looking?
KOKUSHI MUSOU!!
TAJIMA KAZUKI
???: You have the results of the first half of the Shuffle game battle do you not?
{Peerless temple director//Daruma}
Daruma: Kujaku.
(Side text- The first half of the game has ended!! But what of the second half…?!)
Kujaku: I humbly report…
Currently there are 22 left after the first half including the aforementioned child.
Daruma: Hmm…and what is the current status of 1st year class A?
Kujaku: They’re resting.

002
Everyone: Eh?!
The second game will be in three days?!
(Side text- The ones left are the strong!!)
Kujaku: The second game isn’t something to make light of.
It is necessary for me to coach you in various ways to prepare for it.
I’m looking forward to it…
This time around I wonder how many people will be left?
{Reminiscence over---}
Kujaku: Is what I informed them of, and quite kindly to boot.
Priest: Wisdom King Kujaku…do you have any sort of sympathy?
Your students did lose half of their classmates…no doubt they’re grieving.

003
Priest: Well…if they’re that pathetic…
Our job now is to raise them into superior individuals of honor.
Priest: Yup, Kujaku did right by them.
Cause ya know, I hate kids.
Honestly it sickens me to share the same air with those things.
Priest: You just don’t want to do anything!!
Your clothing is half on!!
That’s terrible!!
Daruma: That’s enough you two.
Kujaku is right in her assessment…this is an era of great war.
So we mustn’t forget our duty.

004
{Now the world is in a time of great war…where the strong eat and the weak are meat.}
{Those without power lose everything…be it money, their homes or ultimately their lives.}
{This is exactly why now more than ever the strength that comes from martial arts is sought out.}
{In order to protect the weak, true martial artists are raised in in great numbers.}
{This is this temple’s purpose!!}
Daruma: Kujaku you’ve seen him yourself…
Do you believe that Kid can be taught martial arts?
Kujaku: I’m not quite so sure of that.

005
Priest: Why is she so vague when speaking to the director…?
Fundamentally he’s got real issues thinking of anyone other than himself.
Ever since he’s managed to be freed the only thing he thinks of and acts towards is his own goal of leaving.
Moreover, he’s got an ego that’s inconceivably large.
Priest: You’ve essentially had nothing good to say about him at all. Are you suggesting teaching him martial arts would be dangerous?
Kujaku: Though…he is just a child, and he only recently managed to get out of the room.
I believe as he experiences the outside world he is changing little by little.
Please allow me to watch over him. I do think he has the capacity to become a martial artist.

006
{If my expectations should come to naught…}
{I will take responsibility for him.}
Mugi: Kid-kun, your injuries are still fresh..
I think you should come in now…
Kid-kun…?
{He seems down….but that’s understandable.}
{After all he finally made a friend and then they fall to their death right in front of him…}
Kid: Ggggg

007
Kid: GRAAAAAAAAH!!!
Mugi: Gaah!!
Kid: I’m just itchin to get moving!!
I can’t just sit around!! I have to get stronger….
Besides…
I’ve got to for Samo’s sake.

008
{So you did change a little bit Kid-kun…}
Mugi: Yeah!
Kid: Awwright! Tomorrow I’m gonna start training for my super special move!!
Dude: SHUT THE HELL UP NEWBIE!!
Kid: Wake up ya losers! It’s time to learn a super special move!!!
Special move!! Special move!!
Dude: SHUT UP!!
Guy: I’m sleepy…
What’s that dude’s damage anyway?
Kujaku: ‘Mornin my dear moronic students.
Students: Ah. Good morning Master Kujaku.
{Awwright! I can do this! In the next three days I’m going to learn a special move!!}
Kujaku: First thing’s first…
(Little bubble in bubble- Ku.)

009
Kujaku: Class lecture time.
Kid: ….Huh?
Are those magic spells?!
W—what’s going on here Mugi!?
What about our training?!
Mugi: We don’t just train in the ways of martial arts but studying fine arts too.
A true martial artist has to discipline their mind as well.
Kid: You’re kidding?!
Kujaku: Now Kid, answer the question. What is a ‘stoma’?
Well?
Your answer…I need it today.

010
???: Here.
Kujaku: Hm?
Sengyoku, do you have an answer?
Kid: Geh…
(Handwritten- That guy…?)
Sengyoku: This is a foolish question master.
I suppose it is up to me to enlighten the slaves.
Especially a certain stupid chimpanzee.
(Sfx- Puh *snicker*)
Mugi: Don’t let it get to you Kid-kun!!!
Kujaku: That’s nice. Well then, what is the general concept of a ‘Stoma’?
Sengyoku: Hm.
It is related to ‘ki’ which is an unseen life energy that living beings posess.
When applied to martial arts, it can multiply the base power of a person and allow them to use specific abilities.

011
Sengyoku: For example….
The overwhelming elegance flowing from me!!
Kujaku: Wrong.
Kid: HE’S WRONG?!
You did all that just to stand out and piss me off?!
Sengyoku: Obviously. I dislike you.
Dude: Both of you are idiots!
Hey! Don’t drag things off topic you idiots!!

012
Kujaku: I don’t even have a little bit of time to deal with idiots.
Menfisu@
Menfisu: Yes.
Kujaku: Can you answer the question?
Lets see…’Ki’ is life that flows through the blood, and it can be utilized if the body and mind are balanced. This in turn can stimulate a certain type of immunization.
People who can use this power are known as Stoma masters or hermits.
Kujaku: Correct!
Girl: That’s awesome Menfisu-kun! Did you prepare for this lesson beforehand?
There are parts I don’t understand. Could you teach me?
Menfisu: No problem!
Dude: Ah, no can do! Menfisu is going to hold a studyhall with us!
Girls: Huh?! Quit taking him to yourself, stupid boys!!
(Handwritten- Yeah!)

013
Menfisu: Though if you want to know more about the stoma arts, Ro-kun knows a lot more than me.
Dude: Ro?! Are you kidding? The dude is terrifying.
(Sfx- Guuuh *snnnore*)
Dude: Besides even now he’s sleeping.
He’s not at all interested in lessons at this level is he?
Kujaku: You all could stand to learn a little from these two…they review before class.
???: Guh…
Kujaku: Es.peci.ally~

014
Kujaku: YOU KIDD!!
You’re an absolute newbie when it comes to martial arts, so there’s plenty for you to learn!!
First you’ll need to know the different types of kenpou, and their history!
There’s a difference between t he Naikaken and Gaikaken!! And you have to know the relation between the stoma and martial arts!!! (Among other things)
(TN- Naikaken is ‘Fist of nothing’ and Gaikaken is ‘Fist of the outside.’ I’m not really sure what relevance they have so I’ll leave them like this for now.)
Kujaku: All of this is your homework!!
Kid: W—wait a minute master! I can’t study….!!
Kujaku: Huuuh? Do you want to participate in the second game or not?
There’s absolutely no way we can let a guy who has no foundation in martial arts participate in a thoroughly halfassed way in the next game.
So you’ve got the next three days to study like you’re gonna die.

015
???: Here’s one for you! What was the name of the general who suddenly appeared during the second great war?
Kid: ….Dunno.
???: Then what was the reason that the second war was fought? Keep your answer to 100 words or less.
Kid: I have no idea!

016
Mugi: You’ve gotten all of them wrong….
Kid: AAGUUUUGH!!!
IT’S ALL IN ONE EAR AND OUT THE OTHER!!!
Guy: Hey dude…he’s just NOW studying the basics? How’d he even get in here?
It’s thanks to us that we’re all being held back from our lessons.
Kid: Nnnngh…
Girl: Mugi…
Chaaaaan~!!!
Mugi: Wh—who…

017
Girl: I found you!!
What have you been doooing~? Lets eat breakfast together!
Mugi: A—Anko-chan?!
Kid: Who are you?
Anko: Hm?
Oh. You’re that idiot from before.
What’s going on here Mugi? Are you having an affair behind my back with this moron?
{Anko//Mugi’s (former) partner. Loves cute things. (Mugi.)}
Kid: Who’s a moron?
Anko: That’d be you. Moron. Who’s heard of a martial arts newbie at a time like this? You’re gonna get slaughtered before long.
Mugi: S—sorry! Anko-chan doesn’t mean anything bad by it!
Anko: Eh? But I do?
???: Yo yo! What’s up bro! You look sorta down!
Don’t let Anko get to you man!

018
Gihyou: She pretty much badmouths all dudes.
{Gihyou: Most easily pleased person in class A, also most annoying.}
Gihyou: So it’s her loss man!!
Kid: Who are you?
Gihyou: Whaaat?! You seriously don’t remember me?! C’mon! It’s thanks to you that I managed to pass the first game! I gotta seriously thank you for that!
Kid: Ahh dammit! I have so much homework that I’m drowning in it!! Leave me alone!!
Gihyou: Seriously? This is it?
Anko: Master Kujaku is a demon. She’s strict to everyone.
Gihyou: Yeaah, I know about that. Well it’s all good. I’ll help you out.
If it’s for my savior, I’ll teach you a few tricks of the trade.

2013-11-30T22:04:53+00:00

And the effort to catch up begins in earnest again. This time with the memory of my fallen comrade engraved in my heart, I make a dash towards the end.

Chapter 14: Inheritor.
Menfisu: That’s enough you two.
I don’t like overly gory fights.
(Side text- At the shuffle game’s climax, the strongest clash!!)
(Side text- Series climax with an extended 22 pages!!)
KOUKUSHI MUSOU!!
Moloch: What’s the deal Menfisu.
Menfisu: Just poking my nose in.
Ro: He managed to stop our fists….
TAJIMA KAZUKI.

002
Dude: Hey Menfisu!!
Don’t stop them!!
It makes things easier for us if those two monsters knock each other out!!
Yeah!!
Menfisu: Then would you like to take me on?
See, I’m all about pacifism.
I do really dislike strife.
So how about you stop fighting?
Though if you really insist on continuing this deathmatch,
Then I’ll use whatever means to stop you without causing any more bloodshed.

003
Menfisu: So what will you do?
Moloch: Hmph.
Looks like your life gets extended a little Ro uei.
There will be other times to kill you.
(Sfx- Bahh *fwaap*)
Moloch: Heheheheh…
(Sfx- Tan *tap*)
Moloch: So have fun…while it lasts.
???: L—looks like Moloch is backing off…
Dude: Menfisu isn’t some nobody, that’s for sure.
(Sfx- Gyuun *throb*)
Dude: Just watchin’ em scared me enough for my balls to drop.

004
Menfisu: Looks like things worked out after all huh?
(Sfx- Fuhh *phew*)
Ro: Hmph. You stuck your noe where it doesn’t belong…s
So don’t expect me to thank you.
Menfisu: Heheh. I don’t mind really.
Though it is rare to see you get worked up over….anything really.
Ro: I wasn’t really.
(Sfx- Gyuuhh *grind*)
Ro: Just killing some time.
Kujaku: Hey there you all….!
This isn’t the sorta game where you all can loiter around.
Menfisu: Master Kujaku!
(Sfx- Hyoi *wifft*)

005
Kujaku: This game wasn’t designed for you to take your time getting to know each other.
Time to enter the lightning round.
Guys: T—the ground is rumbling again!
People: Eh?!
What th---the threads are snapping!!
We’ve gotta keep moving from rope to rope or we’ll fall!!
(Sfx- Bogohhh Boghooh *dosssh dsssh*)

006
All: Uwaaaaaaaah!!
The rocks are falling!!
Climb!! Climb faster!!
Dammit!! This is completely screwed up!!
Menfisu: Ro-kun! We’ve got to hurry!
Ro: Y—yeah.
(Sfx- Chirahh *glare*)
Ro: Looks like this is as far as I can help you.
(Sfx- Tan *tap*)

007
Kid: Really?!
Then you used to be partnered with Ro huh?
Samo: Yeah, but I was really just dragging him down the whole time.
Kid: I’m positive it wasn’t like that Samo! You’re really strong! I’ve seen it for myself!
Samo: Well, that was more your strategy Kid-kun.
Kid: But if you weren’t there Samo, my plan woulda failed for sure.
(Handwritten- Yup)
Samo: I—its not like that…
Kid: I know Samo! Once we get to the goal…
How about you be my partner?

008
Samo: M—
Me? You want me as your---
(Sfx- Dokunnn *throb*)
Samo: B..But..
If you team up with me, you’re sure to fall behind…
Kid: Hey man, quit saying that! You need more self confidence!
You’re gonna team up with me and we’re gonna stomp Ro flat!!
He’s gonna regret not teaming up with you Samo!
He might be MVP of this game but he’s gonna regret messing with us!
And after that we’ll progress through the tests like they’re nothing!
We’re gonna make the whole class eat our dust!!
Samo: He—he’s far too greedy!!
Kid: And then surely…

009
Kid: We’ll get the scroll of secrets from the elder…
And get out of here together!!
{Scroll of secrets….!!}
Samo: Ugh…
Kid: What’s up Samo?!

010
Samo: I overdid it in that fight against Saikei….
Kid: Hey Samo!!
{But…}
Samo: It’s nothing!!
Lets’ go!! If we don’t get out of here quickly we’ll fail the game!!
Kid: Y—yeah!!
{It’s not a big deal at all!! Even without the use of my left leg…}
{This is a piece of cake!!}
Samo: …The ground is rumbling…?

011
People: GYAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Kid: What is this?!
What’s going on up there?!
Samo: The threads are beginning to snap at their roots…!!
We have to hurry up and get out of here or there won’t be anything to climb!!
Kid: Wh…
Whaaat?!!

012
Kid: We’ve gotta hurry then!!
Lets get out of here!!
(Sfx- Guraaah *clatter*)
Samo: Kid-kun!! Look out!!
Kid: ….Eh?!
Samo: Guhh…
(Sfx- Tann *tap*)

013
Samo: Koutou rouken!!
Samo: ggggh!!
Kid: Samo!!!

014
Kid: Hah…hah…
That was too close…
S—Samo…hurry and grab the thread…
W—we’re gonna fall…!!
Samo: I’m sorry Kid-kun…
I can’t move my arm or leg…
Kid: Samo…!!
Your hand…
Samo: They’re broken now it seems…
I don’t have the strength to grab the thread anymore…

015
Kid: Wh—what are you saying?!
Don’t give up on me!!
We’re supposed to be a team!!!
(Sfx- Hah hah)
Samo: I thank you for inviting me to team up with you…I’m overjoyed that you’d acknowledge me.
But I can’t team up with you.
My dream was to become Ro’s true partner.
In order to make that dream come true I worked really hard.
{From today on your partner will be Ro uei.}

016
{You’ve got some guts after all.}
{Someone as crappy at this as you are has no hope of getting the scroll of secrets.}
{You have to loosen your waist more idiot. Quit stiffening up!!}
{You have to read more books to get the basics.}
{If you want to get the scroll of secrets you’ve got to read this much at least.}
Samo: Even Ro-kun, if you watch him closely enough has his gentle side.
(Sfx- Gaahh *thk*)
(Sfx- Gaaah *thk*)
Samo: It was he who acknowledged me first.
That’s why I always wanted to be Ro-kun’s friend..!!

017
{But what Ro-kun wants isn’t ‘friendship’…}
{As someone who’s been watching him…I know this best.}
Samo: Kid-kun! I have a favor to ask you….!!
You have to become Ro-kun’s ‘partner’!
Kid: Wh…what are you saying Samo?!
The stuff your’re talking about doesn’t make sense!!
Samo: My body has reached it’s limit…
So I want to entrust you with my dream.

018
Samo: Please…do it for me…
Kid-kun.
Kid: SAMOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

019
???: Roll call!!

3
4…
And it appears 21 people have cleared the first game!!
That’s all of you!!
Before we can enter the next game there needs to be insurance that there are an even amount of people! So one of you has to fail….and that would be the last one here!!
That’s you Gihyou!!
Gihyou: What?! Me?! Are you serious?
Geez. I guess it wasn’t a good idea to take a nap before the finish line huh?
(Handwritten- Man oh man.)
(Handwritten- Hey!)
Kujaku: Are you sure your head is working like it should?
Moloch: Hmph. This is pointless.
Dude: Gihyou is in the upper class but he’s still a moron.
Girl: Wahahah.
Sengyoku: More importantly I would like a shower.
I’ve been covered in sweat and smell like a commoner.
(Handwritten- It’s hot.)

020
Guy: That was close Mugi-chan. You were second to last.
Mugi: I—I’m sure glast Gihyou-kun was here…
Ro: So they fell huh?
Kujaku: So Kid failed huh? But I can’t exactly say anything to stick up for him….
Now, as for the 20 of you who managed to pass the first game…
I’d like to commend you for your success…
???: Wait!!!
People: …! Who’s that?!
No way…
(Sfx- Gahh *thuk*)

021
(Sfx- Zehh *hah)
(Sfx- Zeeh *hah*)
Kid: I’m right here.
Mugi: Kid-kun!!
Gihyou: Oooh!! It’s you newbie!! You saved my ass!!
Mugi: Kid-kun!! Thank goodness, I thought you were done for…!!
(Sfx- Hah hah)
Mugi: Kid-kun…where’s Samo-kun…?

022
Kid: Samo..
Fell.
(Sfx- Guhhh *grind*)
{But…}
Kid: His will is right here!!
And I will make his dream come true…!!

The fight to catch up with this will continue in issue tomorow (Maybe out tonight, but don't hold your breath...all one of you reading this.)

{A certain katana wielding pair; Saikei and Keirei thought up a combination attack known as the ‘Soumatou’.}
{They harmonized both mentally and physically their katana throwing techiniques and developed a trap for anyone in between them…an attack that comes from all blind spots.}
{The prey in the center of the two is swept upon in a circular motion that steals their ability to escape from all directions,}
{likening them to a trapped fly in a spider’s nest, unable to move.}
KOKUSHI MUSOU!!
{A formation..}
{Which is the worst to escape from.}
(Side text- Can they counter attack!?)
Samo: We can’t break apart this technique unless we defeat one of them.
But this formation has absolutely no blind spots…!!
It’s no good…I think we may have actually found the worst case combo…
There’s nothing we can do!
TAJIMA KAZUKI

002
Kid: Listen up Samo.
We’re going on the counter attack!
(Side text- Deep in a bad situation, what could Kid possibly be thinking of!? What is his strategy?)
Samo: Eh?!
Counter attack?! You have some kind of plan?
But it’s impossible! We’re completely surrounded…!!
Kid: Shut up and listen!!
Samo: Oooow!!
Chapter 13: Completely prepared for the worst.

003
Samo: Eh?!
Wh—what are you saying? If we do that then you’ll….
Kid: There’s no other way dude!!
Just prepare your resolve.
You’re a man aintcha?
Saikei: HEheheh? And what’s this? What are you ladies talking about?
Feel like surrenderin’?

004
Saikei: Well forget about it! Our beloved invention the ‘Soumatou’ will never be broken!!
It’s the ultimate and most evil move in complete weakling subjugation!!
Only guys with smarts like ours could comprehend how ‘awesome’ this move is.
And when they realize how ‘awesome’ this move is, then it’s easy to see how bad they wanna give up!! It’s written all over their faces!
Samo, I’m seein’ it in you!!
Kid: Heh, is that move really worth braggin’ about?
Then ‘I’ll’ just bust that move you’re so proud of into pieces!!
Saikei: Hohooo Kid!!
I can see ‘I’m never gonna give up’ written all over your face!

005
Saikei: And that frggin pisses me off!!
Kid: Ugh!!
Saikei: I’ve seen guys like you with shit for brains before!! In fact that was me at one time!!
It’s only when you’ve been here for a little while that you realize what despair really means! That you are completely powerless! I’ll personally make sure that when I’m done you’re crying for forgiveness!
You don’t know how many pissants I’ve broken down before you! All of them so bad that they never recover!!
It’ll happen to you too before long!!
Hyahahaahahah!!

006
Samo: Kid-kun!!!
Kid: Heh..
Pfft…
Heheheheh…
Ahahahahahah!
This is a scream!!
Listen. The biggest pissants here are you two.
You guys are idiots.

007
Saikei: Huuuh?
Samo: Wh—what are you saying?
Their throwing sword technique has real power behind it…
Kid: Samo, look at ‘em. They’re both scared shitless to fight guys stronger than them.
Its cause if they fight guys stronger than them they’ll realize how weak they are and it scares them. That’s why they stopped trying to get the scroll of secrets.
But then giving up alone sucks so you went out to make a buddy.
You feel safe when you’ve made a friend who’s given up on his dream too, and it’s that safety you want!!
Saikei: Sh—shut up.

008
Kid: You’re just a guy who can’t accept that he’s not prepared for the worst!!
You’re still 100 years too early to pick a fight with me!!
Samo: Guhh….!!
Lets do this Kid-kun!!
Samo: I—I’m prepared for it!!
(Sfx- Nii *Griiin*)
Keirei: Saikei what the hell are you doing?! Let’s hurry up and kill ‘em!!
Saikei: Yeah!!

009
Kid: Uraaaaaaaaaaahh!!
{He didn’t dodge it?!}
Saikei: Has your fear caused you to go crazy?!
Kid: Saikei…
I said ‘I’d’ break your move didn’t I?
(Sfx- gaku gata *wshudder*)
Kid: I was lying.
(Sfx- Fuhhh *swisssh*)

010
Saikei: Above?!
{Samo Han?!?}
Samo: ORAAAAAAAAAAHH!!

011
Samo: Koutou rouken!!
(Sfx- Nikohh *grin*)

012
Keirei: S—Saikei was taken out…?
{That spikey headed kid…he provoked us just to use himself that way?}
{And all so we wouldn’t notice Samo above us…}
{He used himself as a decoy? As camouflage?)
Kid: And…now your beloved formation has been broken~
Keirei: Do—don’t screw with me!! I can take you out myself!!

013
Kid: Dude, you are NOTHING to me by yourself.
HNGH!!!
(Sfx- Dosaah *thud*)
Kid: We win!!
Samo: Though we did take quite a beating…

014
Kid: Ahahahaah!!
Don’t sweat the small stuff!
{Listen up Samo! I’m gonna stir them up, and then you use that to get into the air and attack.}
{Be sure to pound his miserable face good.}
{Kid-kun gave himself a dirty role in this plan just to ensure everything worked out…}
Samo: Thanks.
Kid: For what?
Samo: That’s not important. But you know what is?
Getting up and out of here!!
Kid: Yeah!!

015
Dude: Finally the exit…
That was a long haul…
(Door- Exit)
Dude: Wh—what’s that?
Ro: Hmph…
(Sfx- Puhh *spit*)
Ro: I had heard you’d use cheap moves to win.
Moloch: Heheheh…
I guess I’ve gotta amp up the power a little more huh?
Dude: Hey…is someone fighting up there?
Girl: Seems like it…
Menfisu: It’s Ro-kun and Moloch-kun.
Girl: Menfisu.

016
Moloch: Oraoraoraaah!!
What’smatter Ro?! Where’d all your energy from before go?!
Ro: Dammit…!
I took too much damage from the Sunkei…!!
???: Heey!!
What on earth are you two doing?!
Each and every one of you continuously starts up a ruckus…
Allow me to join you!!
Moloch: Sengyouku.
Ro: Ugh. Looks like some annoying ones have showed up.

017
Moloch: Then we should finish this now.
We’ll make it real clear who’s on top and going up top.
Ro: I was thinking the same thing.
I don’t want to embarrass you too much in front of them.
Moloch: Don’t worry about it!
The one who’s going to fall back down there in shame is you!!
Dude: Ooooh! Look at them! They’re really going for it!!
So awesome!! They’re in the upper-class with the best grades!!
???: Man oh man.
Dude: Whoa!?

018
Menfisu: That’s enough you two.
I don’t like overly gory fights.
(Side text- The one who stopped the fight of supremacy between the two is Menfisu and his quiet fists! Next issue the results of the shuffle game are…?!)

It's all in the execution. Whether it be fighting moves or manga, execution is key.

TAJIMA KAZUKI
Chapter 12: Zero range attack!!
(Side text- As master Kujaku waits for the students at the goal post the talk behind her is what exactly…?)
(Handwritten- Yodolayyy Yodolaaayyy Yodolayyyy)
KOKUSHI MUSUSOU!!

002
(Side text- The game’s course is…)
(Bottom side text- Something the teacher doesn’t know…only God knows…)
Kujaku: Ah…geez!
They’re all so slow!
What are those moronic students of mine doing?
I needed to use the bathroom and I’ve been holding it before the game started!
If I wet myself then I’m going to fail all of them!
(Sfx- Cheh)
Kujaku: Putting that aside they are being kinda slow.
Especially Ro and the others. I thought they would have finished by now…
Now lessee what’s going on down there….I wonder what’s the hold up?

003
Moloch: Heheheh. I’m friggin overjoyed…
That the guy with the highest grades in the class Ro-kun himself wants to take me on.
Ro: Listen to you.
Try all you might but you can only thinly veil that your objective was to crush me all along.
Moloch: This game has been disappointing so far but you know what I heard?
That little accidents have been known to happen and people have been known to get dead.
So we should be careful yanno?

004
Ro: Gonna play innocent until the end huh? Well whatever.
Now hurry up and bring it.
Moloch: Heheheh….
Yeah…I’ll be sure to make your end come quick.
{That stance…}
{Eishunken!!}
(TN- Spring composition fist.)

005
(Sfx- Pishuhh *wffff*)
Moloch: Lets do this Ro uei!!
{He’s fast!!}
Ro: Damn. Close quarters fighting isn’t good.
Eishuken has a short reach but it can close in the distance between fighters quickly!!
Kujaku: Eishuken is an art that excels in close quarters fighting!!
If he manages to find an entry and get close even once….

006
{Then he can launch an offense that’s like a torrential downpour!!}
Moloch: HEEEEEEEEEEEYAH!!
Ro: Kuh..
Uwah!

007
{Hey….}
{What’s with this strength?}
Moloch: Heheh…
You like the taste of my fists?
{He’s one hell of a guy….Although that fist is known for consecutive attacks, it’s trades power for speed…}
{But Moloch’s Eishunken is different…}
{Especially when compared to the original…}
Moloch: Hahahahah! S’matter?!

008
Moloch: Got your hands full just dodging this?!
I wonder how long you can keep it up?!
{He’s doing a good job avoiding it now, but if he takes one hit from his attack it’s over and out!!}
Moloch: Now you’ve got no place to run.

009
Moloch: It’s all over!!
Here! I’ll give you a requiem to go out on!!

010
{No wait…this is impossible!}
{Although he’s only able to divert them a little he is actually stopping my fists?!}
Ro: Your punches are fast and pretty powerful…
But systematically dished out punches…
Have a rhythm that is easy for me to take advantage of!

011
Ro: Frankly, your punches are pretty boring.
(Sfx- Fwaaaaaaah *yaaaawn*)
Ro: Did I just yawn?
My bad.
Moloch: Don’t screw with me!!!
(Sfx- Fuhhh *fwisssh*)

012
{Jaken!!}
(TN- Snake fist.)
(Sfx- Buhhh *blorp*)
Moloch: Guuh..

013
{He was able to completely slip into his defenses…}
Moloch: Guhh..
Guahh…
Ro: I win. Moloch.
Now if you’ll excuse me, it’s about time I got going.
It’s about time the others started climbing up here.
Moloch: Wait.
You held back just now didn’t you…
In a fight between martial artists that is the most pathetic thing you can do…
It’s the ultimate insult to your opponent!!
Ro: Che.
Fine. I’ll give you what you want..
Here’s the requiem that you were begging for!!!

014
Moloch: Fool….
(Sfx- Pitarii *tap*)
Kujaku: He got him good…the Eishuken’s specialty is close range attacks..
And within those moves is ‘Sunkei’ which is his favorite.
(TN- Sunkei seems to mean ‘Ten strong’ but I dunno if it has any deeper relevance.)
{‘Sunkei’ is an ability which is used when the enemy has been drawn close to the user. By focusing their energy into one concentrated point it becomes a move with an explosive force similar to…}
{A missile fired from…}
{Zero range.}

015
Ro: Gahah….
Moloch: Heh…
Now I’ll finish this….and don’t worry I won’t be nearly as pathetic as you!!

016
Kid: Dammit…
Samo: What are we supposed to do in a situation like this?
Saikei: Heheheh…
We’re gonna drown you boys in yer own blood!

017
Saikei: So go on, bow down and start cryin! That’s what I wanna see!
Kid: Who’s gonna cry to you?
I’d rather die than apologize to ‘scum’ like you guys!!
Saikei: Ya cheeky little brat!!
Then I’ll just take onnna your toes!!
Samo: Kid-kun!!
This is bad…we’re losing too much blood! At this rate we’re done fore!
Kid: What are you whining for! If you want some blood then I’ll let you drink mine!

018
Samo: They don’t have any blind spots so we can’t escape their team formation. As long as their range remains unbroken they can continue to attack us using the same pattern.
If we don’t do something about their rhythm then we don’t have a chance of winning!
But they don’t have a blind spot…
And we don’t have a space for attack!
Kid: Oh they have a blind spot all right.
Samo: …Eh?
Kid: Listen up Samo.
We’re going on the counter attack!
(Sfx- Nyahh *grin*)
(Side text- As the game continues two death matches go down! Will Ro keep his well being? And what kind of plan has Kid cooked up…?!)

All: Ungh…
Geeeh!!
Saikei: Dammit…
You little brat!!
You interrupted just when it was getting good!!
Kid: Whoa..
I was scared half to death!
See the thread I was climbing suddenly burst into flames! I guess I had the wrong one…
Samo: Kid-kun, could you get up….
Kid: Eh?

003
Kid: Uwaaah!! Samo?! When’d you get under me….
And you’re bleeding a lot dude!!
Samo: eh?
Kid: Did I hurt you when I fell down here?!
Samo: N—no, this isn’t your fault Kid-kun…
(Side- Well it is your fault just a little bit…)
Saikei: We were mess’n with him!!
(Sfx- Zathhh *sffft*)
Saikei: In any case it seems like you fell in without knowin’ nothing.
HEheheh…well whatever it’s all good!
The more weaklings we get to screw around with, the better!!
We’ve got the worst student ever and a martial arts newbie!! New and more exciting toys just keep rolling in…

004
Saikei: Ungh.
Samo: Kid-kun?!!
Keirei: You little bastard!! What the hell do you think you’re doing?
He was still in the middle of talking…
Kid: Shut up. I’m friggin’ pissed right now.

005
Kid: You’re gonna regret hurting my friend….so much that you’ll wanna die.
(Sfx- Porohh *bloop*)
{Kid-kun…!!}
Saikei: Heheh…
That’s my line!!
Let’s do this Keirei!!!
You got it Saikei!

006
Saikei: Shaaaah!!
Samo: Wwah!!
Kuhh!!
He’s fast…!!
Saikei: Hahahahahah!! ‘Smatter Samo?!
Don’tcha know that might is right?!
Kid: Samo!!
Keirei: Hold on there…
Your opponent is me short stuff!!
Kid: Nguh!!

007
Kid: Kuh…
Don’t…
Get in my way!!
Kid: This guy’s pretty strong…!!

008
Keirei: Heheheheh…It’s pretty obvious who’s stronger than who here.
Samo: Kid-kun!!
Saikei: Give up.
I’m gonna make mincemeat outta you here!!
Samo: As if I’d give up to you!!
Saikei: Hmm?!
That stance is…

009
Samo: Koutou rouken!!
(TN- Hard mantis fist)
Saikei: Gyaaaaah!! My—my tooooth!!!
Kid: Why yoooou!!!
Dammit! I can’t land a hit on ‘im!!
Keirei: Hahahah! I already know about your superhuman strength!!
But it doesn’t matter when you’re a newbie! And a newbie isn’t gonna be able to touch me!!
But if you want to see a real punch…
I’ll show you!!

010
Kid: Piping hot Tofu guard!!
Keirei: Ah…?
AAAAGHHH!!!
Kid: Who cares about being a newbie!?
Keirei: aaaaagh
Aaah!!
Kid: Broth blinder!!
Keirei: Buaaah!!
(Handwritten- Hooot!!)
Keirei: I can’t see anything!!
Kid: That’s obvious.
(Sfx- Mishi mishi *grind grind*)

011
Keirei: Gahhh..
Kid: Samo!! Are you okay!?
Samo: Y—yeah.
Kid: Now we’ve got this fight in the bag.

012
Saikei: Looks like we’ve got ourselves a little trouble Keirei.
Keirei: Yeah Saikei.
Saikei: But these two don’t know what really makes us scary.
How about we show them the terror of or combination?!
Keirei: Got it!!
(Sfx- Tahh *tap*)
(Sfx- Tahh *tap*)

013
Kid: What the…?!
Saikei: This is our strongest formation!!
Kid: Hmph!! What’s so strong about this….

014
Kid: It came from behind?!
{Heheheh…have a good look fools!}
{We’re pros at using katanas!!}
{Even if you can dodge one katana..}
{Another one is waiting to slice you to death!!}
{We thought out our ultimate combination, and named it the ‘Soumatou’!!}
{Anyone who gets trapped in this isn’t going to walk out unhurt….probably.}
(TN- Soumatou ‘Two demon blades’)
{You guys are done!!}

015
(Sign- Exit.)
Ro: Hmph…so there’s the exit huh? This game was just a big waste of time.
Moloch: Totally bro.
Ro: Moloch.
Moloch: I thought this game would get my blood racing but it’s just another disappointment.
So how about this Ro uei.
Just climbing up the threads and saying ‘oh that’s it.’ Would be boring right?
So why not have a fight to the death with me?
Ro: With you? That’s even more pointless.
I’m not going to buy into your instigation.

016
Moloch: Heheh…
That was a joke bro. I really just want to be friends!
You abandoned your partner just now didn’t ya?
I like guys like you who don’t give a shit about anything else.
You and I are of the same breed.
(Sfx- Uwaaaaaaaaaah)
Moloch: Hyahaahahah!! Didja hear that?! It was the sound of sinners falling into hell!!
Those without strength are criminals here!!

017
Moloch: And without these theads those sinners can’t climb up here!!
That’s what you think too don’tcha comrade?!
{Heheh…I knew it.}
Moloch: What’s the deal Ro uei…?
Feeling sympathy for your former partner?
Ro: Sympathy?
Don’t talk crap Moloch.

018
Moloch: Then what are you doing this for?
Ro uei?!
Ro: Do I need a reason to swat a annoying fly…
Buzzing in my ear?

Menfisu: It’s the threads. There are ‘correct’ and ‘wrong’ threads!

Menfisu: If you tug on one of the incorrect threads a trap is activated.

In truth this is a test of your ‘true ability’.

Kid: Ro? What is he…
Menfisu: Shh!!

004
Ro: This one huh?
Menfisu: Seems like he’s found the correct thread.
Kid: How did he know?
Menfisu: He watched the flow of ‘ki’. The wrong threads don’t have ‘ki’ flowing from them.
Using that method to look means being able to find the correct thread in just a glance.
(Side- Is what I read.)
Menfisu: Oh and you’d have to study ‘ki’ flow for years or else you wouldn’t be able to see it.
Dude: Hehehehe…I lucked out.
I followed my gut and climbed this thread, and it seems like I made the right choice!

005
Dude: I’m so..
Lucky?
Uwaaaaaah!!
Geegh!!
Moloch: Heheeheheh…
If ya want something you just gotta take it.
Heheh….
Hup!!
????: Hahahaha! What are you looking at commoners?

006
Sengyoku: Behold me!!
Kid: That’s the wrong thread!!
Look out!!
Sengyoku: Hahahaahahah!!!
Someone: Whooa! Lookithim go! He’s jumping to another thread before he falls off of the wrong ones!!
Kid: I’ll admit that he is pretty cool, but he’s basically just doing that to stand out…
Menfisu: Pretty much.
But I think you get it now right?
This isn’t a game based on pure luck.

007
Menfisu: I should probably be going now too.
Let’s meet again above okay?
Kid: Thanks a lot Menfisu!
See you soon!
He’s already at the top…!!
Samo: S-so awesome…!!
Kid: Awwright!
Let’s get moving too!!
(Handwritten- Fight on Leftovers gang!!)
Samo: I—in one shot!!
(Handwritten- What’s with our circle…)

008
{Thirty minutes after the game started…}
Samo: Damn…the exit is still so far away and my fingers feel so numb…
I don’t see Kid-kun and the others anywhere….
{And the pain from my injury before is only getting worse…}
{It’d be better if the tape were wound a little tighter…}
{But I’m not about to start whining now.}
{I already decided I’d do my best!}
Samo: Ro-kun probably…
Was the first one out…

009
Dude: Hey Samo…
All alone?
Samo: Saikei-kun!
{Why is he here…? He’s in my class but he’s got the reputation of being one of the worst people to run into.}
Saikei: What happened to that cool headed bastard you were with?
Did he go and abandon you? Huh?
Ahh…That’s right we’re not IN pairs right now are we?
But I know how lonely you are so why not join up with me?
Samo: It’s fine. I’ll do this on my own.
Saikei: Aww….no need to hold back.

010
Saikei: I’m sure your leg is causing you no end of trouble right?!
Samo: GUAHH!!!
Uwaaaaaaaaah!!!

011
Samo: Guaaaah!!!
Saikei: Hyahahah!! Betcha that hurt dinnit Samo?!
Samo: Wh—why are you doing this Saikei?!
Saikei: Whhhhy? Cause I wanna play stuuupid!!
Unlike you pissants this game and standings don’t mean crap to me!
Do I look like I wanna pick a fight with those monsters shootin’ for the scroll of secrets?
I ain’t tryin’ to die just yet!
So I gave up on the scroll of secrets a long time ago.
Samo: ….!
So he’s in the camp with those hoping to use the 10 year system…?

012
{There are students in the class who have given up trying to advance and are going to wait 10 years via that system and then leave…}
{They’ve already given up hope that they’ll graduate but it’s still horrible…!!}
Saikei: But you know the peerless temple has no means to entertain a guy.
I’m so friggin’ bored so let’s play.
And you know the best game for us using the 10 year system?!
It’s messin’ with weak guys!! It’s the ultimate way to pass the time!! Hyahahahaah!!
Hmm?
Samo: Listen…I’m worry but I have to clear this game no matter what.
So get out of my way, Saikei!!
Saikei: Huh?
So you do got some fight innya huh Samo?

013
Saikei: But you’re still a moron.
{He has a partner?!}
Saikei: Heheheheeh You’re surprised…?
Ya dinnt think I had a friend didjya?

014
Saikei: Let me introduce you gents! This is my partner Keirei!
(Handwritten- Ah should I say ‘former’ partner?)
Saikei: And he and I decided together that bullyin’ the weak is a blast! It’s gone and brought us together as best friends!
The worst combo VS little lonely you….
Means that we’re gonna crush you like a bug!!
Aint this just the most fun you’ve ever had?!
{Partner….}
{A partner huh…?}
{My partner is…}
???: Samo, from today on your partner will be Ro Uei.

015
Samo: Oh right, it did say new entries would be working in pairs decided by the master in charge in the guidebook….
P—pleased to meet you Ro-kun.
Ro: Pleased to meet you.
Samo: He’s glaring at me?
Saikei: So the poor student Samo gets paired up with that Ro huh…?
Keirei: That guy is strong sure, but he has the worst personality.
Saikei: For real!
He has no interest at all in anyone who’s weak!!
Samo: Eh!?
{C—can I become friends with a person like that…?}
Samo: Uh it’s too early to be awake…
Huh?

016
Samo: You’re up early Ro-kun. Are you going to run alone today too?
Ro: Guess so.
Samo: Ah…well…could I run with you?
Ro: ….I don’t care but,
I have no intention of keeping pace with you.
{Eh?!}
Samo: He really did run on his own.
Ro-kun’s probably already taking a shower too…
His sweat has already dried up?
D-did you wait for me?
Ro: Not really.
Samo: Y—yeah I figured.
Ro: I didn’t really wait for you or anything but you did surprise me.

017
Ro: You’ve got some guts after all.
{He took the time to take a proper look at me despite me being a bottom of the barrel failure.}
{I’m the only one who knows about Ro-kun’s tru kindness….!}
Samo: Raaaaaaaagh!!!
I will become Ro-kun’s partner again!!
So I can’t back down in a place like this!!!

018
Saikei: You little stubborn….
I’ll teach you!!
Now you’re gonna take a nap!!
Kid: I’m faaaaaaaaaaaaaliiiing!!
Move it!! Move it!!
Everyone: Eh?!
(Bottom text- Kid falls into the scene full of tension!! What will happen to him!? Find out next issue!!)

Whoot. Survival games are all fun and games until someone doesn't...survive.

TAJIMA KAZUKI
Chapter 9: 1st year A class.
(side text- The peerless demonic master Kujaku. In front of her students she is a mistress of hellish training, but it seems she has…..a bit of trouble waking up early?)
KOKUSHI MUSOU!!

002
Dude: What is this?! A kitchen?!
Dammit there’s no exit or anything!
Did that damn Kujaku trick us?!
(Side text- They’re supposed to be aiming for the exit in the cave…so why are they in a hot pot?!)
Guy: But this is kinda weird though…
Dude: Yeah.
What’s the deal with the strings dropping from the celling?
Are those like…our options or something?

003
Kid: I can’t dooooo thiiiiiiis!!!
GAME OVER MAN!! GAME OVER!!
We’re gonna be shut in this cave for all of eternity aren’t we?!
Guy: It’s the fresh meat again.
He’s been a friggin’ nuisance since he transferred in.
Dude: Lets shut ‘im up.
???: Excuse me lad!
Would it be possible for you to be silent?

004
???: I believe you all are the naughty scamps from earlier?
Especially you there …the chimpanzee. You’re being especially vexing.
Mugi: Sengyoku-kun!!
Samo: Woah…so that’s Sengyoku-kun who’s from the Daiki family....and look at him! He’s really pretty!
Sengyoku: Moreover….
You’re standing out more than I!!
Both: Say whaaaaaaat?!

005
Sengyoku: As you can see I am the son of a certain noble family!!
As I am a member of this family I am to illuminate a path for the masses! I am to be admired…
And most importantly I must stand out!
However ever since you came here and caused the ‘snake incident’….i’ve faded into the backround…unable to stand out!!
It’s your fault Kid!!
Samo: So he’s got this kinda character huh…
(Sfx- Bushii bushii)
Sengyoku: Hm?
(Sfx- Bushi bushi)
Sengyoku: Eeeeee?!!

006
Sengyoku: Uwaaaaah!! What on earth is wrong with you?!
Mugi: Kid-kun has a serious case of claustrophobia, and because of that he’s broken out in hives!!
Sengyoku: You cur! You’d go that far in your desire to stand out more than I?
I am jealous of your hives!!
Mugi: Calm down Sengyoku-kun!!!
Sengyoku: Hmph!! To begin with this isn’t a closed area anyway!
Mugi: Eh?
Sengyoku: Thing long and hard. If this were a closed area, the air would become languid and the flame would decrease in size.
The fact that the flame is acting to the contrary and blazing away means that there definitely is an exit to this area.
Definitely.

007
Kid: Heheheh…
I get it.
See, I was totally thinking the same thing.
(Handwritten- Of course I knew that much.)
Sengyoku: You liar!!!
How dare you spread falsehoods! You were even covered in hives!!
Kid: Dude I was totally acting just now. Were you fooled?
Sengyoku: As if!!
???: Now now you two
How about we just agree to disagree and leave it at that?

008
Sengyoku: Menfisu!!
(Handwritten- Who?)
Menfisu: For the upcoming game…
It’d be a better idea to preserve your strength.
Sengyoku: Hmph!
You’re interested in my position too aren’t you! You keep a poker face in class but you’re actually quite popular!
Menfisu: Oh? A poker face? That’s the first time I’ve heard of that sorta thing!!
Though I won’t deny that I do like you….people who have lots of self confidence are pretty awesome.

009
Menfisu: Oh by the way there’s a person over there who heard a rumor about you…
Sengyoku: I knew it! I am standing out!!
(Handwritten- Behold me!!)
Samo: And there he goes….
Kid: What was with that guy?
Menfisu: Ah that was close wasn’t it?
He always goes after those who stand out more than him.
Kid: Thanks for saving us.
(Handwritten- Um…)
Menfisu: I’m Menfisu.

010
Menfisu: To be honest you’ve caught my eye as well.
That whole snake thing in class…it was a riot! Did you think of it?
Kid: Naw. I learned it from my pops.
He told me if you really wanna know how strong your opponent is you gotta put pressure on him.
Menfisu: Oh? Your dad then?
He sounds like a pretty awesome guy!
Kid: Whoaa! You’re pretty awesome dude!
(Handwritten- He’s so simple…)
Kid: You’re all right!!
Menfisu: Ahaha…thanks!
But you should watch your back from here on in.

011
Menfisu: There are plenty of dangerous guys in our class.
Kid: Dangerous guys?
???: Uwaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!
Cough…
Coughh
Gaaaaah!!
Dude: W—wait a second Moloch-kun!!
Did we do something to you?
Moloch: ‘Did you do something’ you ask…?

012
Moloch: Some tofu sprung up on my shoes…
And it was you guys who put it there.
Kid: What the hell is he doing?! He’s basically friggin’ snapped hasn’t he?!
Menfisu: That’s Moloch. His tyranny is famous among the first year class.
Dude: Wait! Please!
We’re not the ones who got your shoes dirty…!!

013
Moloch: I already figured that much…
Are you tryin’ to say that I have bad eyes?
Dude: Guahhh!
Cough cough.
Dude: No…it’s not like that…
Moloch: I just like stirring stuff up. I need a reason to rampage.
I just like the sight of blood. No matter what the reason is.
DO YA GET ME?!
Dude: Uwaaaaaaaaah!!!!
Kid: Scumbag!!
Wait up!! I’ll be your opponent!!
Menfisu: Don’t do it Kid-kun!!

014
???: Noooooow
STOOOOOOOOOP!!!
Moloch: Che.
Looks like you keep your life for now.
???: Who was that?
Th—there!! There’s someone over there!!

015
Someone: Eh? Where?
Up there!!
Whoa---hold on..
That’s the exit?
Kujaku: Hey first year boys!
You can’t start the fun without my permission, got it?
Someone: Master Kujaku!!
So there really is an exit outta this place!!
Kujaku: Correct! This is a game to see who can climb up here the fastest!!
The ‘Spider thread game’!!

016
Dude: Spider thread game…?
Kujaku: All you’ve got to do is climb up here using the spider threads.
The use of weapons and attacking your opponents is okay of course~
That’s it for the rules!!
Dude: Um master!
What happens to the people who climb ropes that get cut!!
Kujaku: You do know the story of the ‘spider’s thread’ right?
Dude: Um—y-yes.
Kukjaku: Should man monopolize the thread that leads to heaven, the thread will snap and he will fall into hell. That is the ‘spider’s thread’.
However this game is a little different. Even if you’re a villain you can climb this rope…it doesn’t matter.

017
Kujaku: Only those with power will be able to climb into paradise!!
{Those without power will fall into hell!!}
{That is…}
{The rule here.}
Kujaku: Are you all prepared then?
All right!

018
Kujaku: Start…
The game!!
Kid: Awwright! Lets do this guys!!
Mugi: O—okay!!
Dudes: hehee…
Found us some prey~!!
(Side text- An actual factual survival race!! Everyone is aiming for the top but within this group what are the objectives of the pair aiming for Kid and his friends??)

Not that...you know, I was gonna do anything for this year's death anniversary other than sit on my ass anyway.

TAJIMA KAZUKI
Chapter 8: Ro’s partner Samo Han.
(Side text- His goal being a meeting with his father, Kid takes to the skies!! Though what will he encounter at the end of that path…?)
KOUKUSHI MUSOU!!

002
(Side text- On the road towards the place of the shuffle game, the master Kujaku suddenly invokes a test!! What were the results of the sudden exam…?)
Kujaku: Oooh! There are still quite a few of you left!!
Congrats, Congrats!
I believe if my calculations are correct that about twenty of you fell..
At any rate we can still proceed with the game.
Kid: All righty! This is what I’ve been waiting for!
(Sfx- Garaah *clatter*)
Mugi: Kid-kun! Look out!!
Over there…!!

003
???: Ngghhh….
Kid: His leg’s been caught!!
Hey buddy, are you okay?!
Dude: Oooh? Isn’t that your old partner Ro-kun?
Shouldn’t you go save ‘em?
Ro: Not interested.

004
Dude: Hahah…well that’s how it goes.
It’s better if there are less people participating in the game anyway.
Kid: Hold up asecond!!
You guys studied together up until now right?! Aren’t you friends?!
Dude: Friends? What nonsense are you spouting stupid? Do you want to die?!
The whole purpose of this game is to thin out the numbers!!

005
???: It’s fine…just leave me behind.
I’m just an anchor around Ro-kun’s legs at any rate….and I don’t want to hold him back.
It’s no wonder he abandoned me.
Dude: See? Even the dude himself admits it!
It’s a form of kindness to cut people loose here too!!

006
Dude: Wha…!!
Kid: Kindness?
This ain’t the kindness my dad taught me.
You give up your seat to those who are older than you…
You guide those who have lost their path…
And if someone before you is in a jam….

007
Kid: THEN YOU HELP THEM OUT!!!
Dude: Whoa…that was close!!
Are you crazy idiot?! It’s more of an advantage to you if that guy isn’t around!!
Kid: That doesn’t matter one bit!
I’ve got my own style, and I’m sticking with it.

008
Dude: Hmph..
You idiot.
Kujaku: Now…I believe that’s everyone.
Now, although four of you fell there’s still not an even number of people here so we’ll have to go to the next step!
{First year A class, currently 47 people}
Dude: If that guy had just left Samo out the numbers woulda been even…
Why do we have to suffer cause he did something stupid?
Kujaku: Ooh, I’m soo sorry to inform you but even if we had an even amount of people the game would still continue.
For one thing this game’s purpose isn’t exclusively to decrease the number of people.

009
Dude: Wh—what is the true objective…?
Kujaku: Well…
I think what I’m about to say will make things painfully clear.
The first part of the game has rules that are simple enough….all you have to do is get out of this cage.
Should there be an odd number of people from that point, then we’ll use rank to clear ‘em out.
Kujaku: What I’ve said now is all you’re going to get.
Good luck.

010
Kid: Awwwriiiight!!
This time I’m gonna be first!!!
(Sfx- Kunn *twang*)
Kid: Huh?
GYAAAAAAAAAH!!
Kujaku: Oh yeah! There are traps all over so do be careful!
Kid: SAY THAT PART FIRRRRST!!
Dude: Smell ya later newbie!!
I’ll be going first~
Kid: Ngh!!

011
Kid: C’mon!! Let me go already!!
Mugi: Kid-kun!! W—what should do…
Samo: Praying mantis style!!
Hah!!!
Kid: Gueah!!

012
Mugi: Kid-kun!! Are you okay?!
Kid: I’ve got a lump on me noggin…
Mugi: But you’re fine….thank goodness!
Kid: But more importantly…
Your leg is okay?!
Samo: It’s cool, don’t worry about it.
I’m Samo Han. You’re Kid-kun, huh?
Anyway we should hurry on ahead.
If this keeps up we’ll have to bow out of the race.
Kid: You’re right!!

013
Kid: Ooh. So you were the one chosen by master Kujaku to team up with Ro when you enrolled?
Samo: Yeah..
Otherwise there’s no way I would have been able to be a partner with Ro-kun.
He’s like a genious when it comes to martial arts, while I’m just your average joe-schmoe.
Kid: Hey don’t let it get you down! I’m just a newbie myself!
Mugi: M—me too! I used to be at the bottom of the class!
Kid: Used to be?
Mugi: Well…now I think you’re the one at the bottom of the class Kid-kun..
Kid: Eh?! Me?
Mugi: Well…I am the daughter of a marital artist who owns a dojo.
Kid: The heck is that?! Then besides being a newbie, I’m on the bottom?!

014
Samo: Heh..
Hahahah!!
Kid: Eh? Did I say something funny?
Samo: No, I-I’m sorry.
It’s just been a while since I’ve been able to kick back like this, relatively speaking.
Everyone here is on their toes.
But you know what? I feel like I can still buckle down and try harder.
There really are guys here who really want to be number one in martial arts.

015
Kid: Darn straight! If you slack off you’re gonna get left behind!
Awwright!!
Lets do this, Mugi!! Samo!!
We’ll go to the meeting place for the game at top speed!!
Mugi: W—wait up Kid-kun!!
Waaait!!
(Sfx- Uoooooooooh *roaaaaaaah*)
Kid: Hey! I can see the exit!!

016
Kid: Wut?
….this again…
Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!
Mugi: Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!
Kid: Ngh!!
Mugi: Kyah…
Kid: Whoa…it doesn’t hurt at all…?
But ouch! It’s hot!!

017
Kid: What the heck is thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis?!
Dude: Wha?!
The door…
Kid: Wwwwwww….
Waaaiiit…..
Aren’t I locked in here noooooow?!
GUAHHHHH!!!

018
Kid: I think I’ve developed a trauma of being in locked rooms since I got stuck in that one for so looooong!!
Mugi: Calm down Kid-kun!
Ro: …! What is that thing?
A thread?

Okay. I think I've finally reached the end of the extra long chapters. I mean I'm glad that it seems to get thse extra pages cause of popularity but it makes for more work. Anyway, hopefully I can catch up soon....not that anyone is scantlating...yet.

Chapter 7: Shuffle game.

002
Kid: Someone in this class….
Will disappear…?
(Side text- Kid successfully enrolled but now he has to pair up with someone…but who?)
Kid: Wh—what does that mean?
Kujaku: That all depends on how you do in the game you’re about to play?
The shuffle game….better known under it’s under name ‘The game where the Shinigami dwells’.
Kid: S—Shnigami?

003
Kujaku: Yup…
The combination system that our temple is known for has a way to deal with times where there are an abundance of students.
And that’s a game that brings the number of people down to an even amount.
This way everyone’s able to have a partner right?
(Handwritten- Retires from the game…)
Kujaku: By the way, I don’t want to hear anyone say they’re not going to play the game.
When the entry contract was signed, being prepared for this became mandatory right?

004
Kid: Ohh?
Sounds awesome.
Kujaku: I’ll have all teams separate as of now.
During the game you will have to search for other partners…..that’s why this is called the Shuffle game.
If you were hoping to find even stronger partners than you had before then this is your chance.
Ro: Hmph.

005
Kid: You got it teach! When are we gonna do this?!
Kujaku: A very good question my dear disciple. The answer to that is of course…
Right now.
Students: NOOOOW?!
Kujaku: Ohohoho! Oh by the way we’ll be moving to where the game will start~

006
Someone: Hiiiii~!!!
Mugi: This is sooo high up…
This is impossible for me….I wanna go home….
Kid: Mugi!
Mugi!!
(Handwritten- Mugiii~)
Mugi: Hiiii!!!

007
Mugi: Stop! Please! Don’t shake the bridge anymore!!
Kid: Oh? You’re scared of heights Mugi?
Sorry about that.
But dude did you hear?! We’re almost to the game’s starting point!! Let’s be the first there!!
(Handwritten- Gyaaaaaah!!)
Mugi: Stop it! Pleaaaase!!!
Kid: S’matter? You can’t run?
Mugi: Sorry….
But why are you so excited Kid-kun?!
Kid: I should be asking you why are you so un-excited Mugi?

008
Kid: Moreover….
All the guys around us have this dark look in their eyes…
Like they’re coming home from a funeral.
Mugi: Of course they do.
They’re about to play the shuffle game.
If someone here screws up then they’re going to disappear form here.
And then there’s you Kid who doesn’t know martial arts at all.
You seriously need to take this more…seriously!
You’re not listening!!!
Kid: Hey look! The fog is clearing up!

009
Kid: Whoooooah! It’s huuuge!!
Mugi: So we’re supposed to play the game in there?
Kid: I’m gonna be first!!
Mugi: Aaah!! Wait!!
Kid(?): That’s…

010
Someone: This place is huge!
So we’re gonna have a game in a place like this?
{Finally…}
{Finally this chance has come…}
{I’ve had enough of being buddy buddy.}
{The path I’ve chosen is the path of carnage.}

011
{No matter what It takes…}
{I have to get the Scroll of secrets…!!}
???: Does your own weakness…
Bring you pain…?

012
Kid: Earth to Ro!!!
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!!!!
Ro: It’s you….
Kid: ‘Sup?
Ro: What do you want?
Kid: I just wanted to have a leisurely conversation with you.
First off thanks for giving me the name Kid!!
And I wanna thank you again for the stuff after that too!
Lets be cool from here on in too ‘kay?
Ro: Sure. Whatever.

013
Kid: Geez.
(Handwritten- Gonna give me the cold shoulder as usual?)
Ro: You said earlier that you’re gonna take the scroll of secrets….were you serious?
Kid: As serious as a heart attack!!
And I’m gonna take that thing in half a year!
There was a dude who managed to do it in a year way back when right?
So I’ll do it in half that!
Oh yeah! If you’re cool with it, why not team up with me?!
If you’re my partner Ro, then this will be even more of a breeze!!

014
Kid: Ro…?
Ro: ‘Even more of a breeze’?
A guy who’s never thrown a punch in his whole goddamn lifetime shouldn’t go leisurely talking about the scroll of secrets.
And then you think we’re just gonna team up?

015
Ro: If you want to be on MY team…
Become a guy worthy of being seen in my presence….
Newbie.
Kid: Whazzat?! Who the hell do you think you are?! As usual your whole damn demeanor sucks!
Ro: Shaddup.
Mugi: I think the same could be said about you too, Kid-kun…

016
???: What’s this? A dead end?
Where and when are we supposed to start the game?!
Huh? Where’s Kujaku?
Kujaku: Has everyone made it?
Someone: Ah! She’s up there!!!
Kujaku: The game’s gonna start…
But before we do that, how about a little pop quiz?
Kid: Wha….

017
Kid: What’s going on?! The ground is…
Kujaku: Hey, don’t space out down there! The game hasn’t even started yet?
Kid: Eh?
Kid: Wha…
Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Mugi: Kid-kun!!

018
People: Wh—what the heck is going on?!
Uwaaaaaaah!!
Kyaaaaaah!!
Kujaku: And look at the weaklings fall~
Ro: Hmph..

019

020
Dude: Whew….that was close.
Mugi: Kid-kun!!
Just wait! I’ll do something about this rock….
Nnngh!!

021
Ro: Hmph…
Pathetic.
Let’s go Kujaku.
You can leave those weaklings behind and take us to where the game is gonna start.
???: Wait.
Don’t go looking down on newbies…

022
Kid: Cause someday…
You’ll bow your head and beg me to….’Please be my partner’!!
Ro: Hmph…
Well, do your best.

{In one way or another Kid has enrolled in the peerless temple located in the mecca of martial arts…}
{Moreover he hopes to obtain the scroll of secrets by embarking on a path of martial arts…}
(Sign- Pain is strength.)
(Side text- He enrolls in the peerless temple to get the scroll of secrets!)
Kid: Tadaaaah!! Look at this Mugi! Doesn’t it look awesome on me?!
Mugi: Yes…although it’s a bit big on you.
This is the smallest size but Kid you’re even smaller…
Kid: It’s training time~ Training time~

003
Mugi: I’ll bet you’re overjoyed that you get to start training today.
Kid: But of course!!
I wanna get that scroll of secrets ASAP and get the hell out of here.
I mean look at me!! I’ve developed a trauma of being stuck in rooms since I got out of there!!
(Handwritten- See?)
Mugi: Uwaaah!!
Kid: But , starting today…
I get to hang out where a bunch of people will be!!
{Kid-kun…}

004
Kid: Hey you guys!!
I’m gonna whup all of your asses!!!
Dude: …..!?!
Who the hell was that?!
….What the….?
Mugi: W—what on earth are you doing Kid-kun?!
Kid: Well, it’s only sporting I tell them before I do it, right?

005
Kid: It’d suck for ‘em if…
They lost without even knowing what’s going on right?
Mugi: But Kid, when did you start studying martial arts?
You’re beginning now right?
So why are you so confident?
You know Kid-kun…
The new disciples here…
Have to find and make a partnership with someone! That’s the rule here!!
Kid: Partner?
Mugi: Yes!
Which is exactly why you have to get along with the others in class!

006
Mugi: And if you intend to take the scroll of secrets….
You’ll need to team up with someone particularly strong!
Kid: A strong partner huh….
Awwright!
Mugi: At any rate!
The last thing you need to do is stir up trouble…!
Be good and don’t do anything against the rules!
Take this to heart….
Ki—Kid-kun?
Kid: Oh right…there is that way…

007
Kid: Thanks a bunch Mugi! I’m going out for a bit!!
Mugi: Eeeh!?
Kid: Yahoooo!!!!
Mugi: Waaaaaaaaait!!!!
He didn’t even give me a chance to explain the fundamental problem here…..
Uuugh….will he really be okay?

008
Dude: Hey. Didja hear?
We’ve got us a new transfer student comin’ in.
???: Oh? That’s rare.
Is it a chick?
Dude: Fool! That doesn’t matter one damn bit!
If the number goes up by even one person then ‘that’ goes on display!!
People: Yeah!

009
???: We’re here.
From today on this will be your class.
Kujaku: Just wait out here and let me introduce you first….
Hm?
What’s that bag you have?
The use of weapons is still far off for you. Get that?
Kid: It’s cool!
Just a lil’ something….
Kujaku: What? You’re acting really creepy…

010
Kujaku: Hey, hey. Lessons are about to start~
Oh..before that let me introduce the transfer student….
Kid-kun, c’mon in…
Egh?!
When did you get there?!
Kid: Hmmm?
(Sfx- Zatsh *shfft*)
Kid: aaah!!

011
Kid: Dude! Ro! It’s you!!
We’re in the same class?! Sweet!!!
Ro: Dammit.
So you’re the transfer student….
I thought you were going to get out of here as soon as possible so why did you enroll?
Kid: All sortsa stuff happened to me!
Besides, this is the only realistic way to get the scroll of secrets and get outta here!!
You wanna get the scroll of secrets too dontcha?
It’s only common sense!
And this is…
For everyone courtesy of me….

012
Kid: A gift for the class!!!
Dudes: Uwaaaaaaah!!! Snaaaaaaaaakes!!
GYAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

013
Kid: And this class of snakes is poisonous!!
Dude: Hiiiiii!!!
Let’s go that way!!!
Hey lets get outta here….
(Sfx- Mishihhh *Grinnd*)
Girl: Booooring.
Hey everyone! Chillax! Everything’s gonna be fine!
Kid: That’s great you guys! Go on! Panic!!
(Sfx- Zui zui *sfft sfft*)
Kid: Ahahahahah!!
Kujaku: And what the hell do you think you’re doing to my classroom….?
Kid: Ah…

014
Kid: Uuugh…
Mugi: Kid-kun! Speak to me!!
Students: Scary….
Kid: That’s dangerous Ro-kun!!
Ro: Oh I get it….
Dude: Doing stupid crap like that….If you wanna play games and get a rise outta people then go to a kindergarten class! This is a martial arts temple!!
(Handwritten- Owwwie…)
Dude: You’re still one hundred years too early to pick a fight with us!!

015
Kid: Heheheh….
Dude: The hell?! What’s so funny?!
Kid: I don’t need you guys!
Cause now it’s all too clear who the real strong guys are!!
Dude: Huh…? What does that mean?
Ro: It’s like this…
If you actually take a look at these snakes, they’re not poisonous at all. He just caked on some red dirt on ‘em to make them appear that way.
(Sfx- Poroporo *bloop*)
Ro: He managed to completely fool us.

016
Guy: Wh—why would he do that….!?
Ro: To test everyone’s capability.
It was the fastest way to discern the weaklings from the guys with strength.
Kid: You get it!!
In short…
The people who didn’t get up from their desks are the strong ones!!!
Congrats you guys!! You have earned the right to be my partner!! So?! Who wants to team up with me.

017
(Sfx- Shiiiin *muuuuute*)
Dude: Hmmph….
Guy: Check it out brah! He doesn’t know anything!
Kid: …huh?
Kujaku: Not gonna happen Kid…those students won’t team up with you.
After all, everyone here already has a partner….
I mean that’s how it is. Everyone already decided on who they’re teaming up with.
You’re basically the remains.
{N—no—no waaaay!!}
{Th—then I’m the real idiot here?!}

018
Kujaku: But there’s no need to worry your cute little head. There’s still a chance.
Kid: R—really?
Kujaku: But of course! When there’s an excess of persons in a temple class…
Then there’s a game that starts to decrease that number and change teams!!
Kid: And if I beat that game?!
Kujaku: You’ll get a partner!!
But in exchange…
Someone in this class will have to disappear….
(Side text- Suddenly an explosion unprecedented proportions…For kid who’s at the depths, what will this game for the sake of making a partner mean…?)

One day this'll have 18 pages like everything else. One day. Though it is really interesting, and all the extra pages and stuff seems to indicate that it's at least a little popular. Guess we'll know when volume one comes out soonish.

(Side text- Kid stands firm as he aims for the outside world, but the ultimate gate keeper is…!!)
(Side white text- Gratitude for the huge response!!!)
(Side orange text- The explosive kung fu head color page!!)
Ross: ‘Epidemics’ ‘Poverty’ ‘Robbery’….
Currently the ‘outside world’ has no means of survival for those who are lacking in strength…!!
That’s why the peerless temple is a famous temple where people gather. We have but one major rule here.
KOUKUSHI MUSOU!!
Ross: ‘The weak are not allowed to leave here’!!

002
(Side text- Aim for ultimate strength with your partners.)
(Side text- The path that we advance upon…)
(Kid’s shirt- Novice.)
KOKUSHI MUSOU

003
(Side text- Is unparalleled!!)
TAJIMA KAZUKI
Chapter 5: Scroll of secrets.
Ross(?): It was decided a thousand years ago to protect this rule..
That two systems would be implemented.

004
Kid: Ugh…two systems?
Ah…I can breathe again…
(Sfx- Shubooh *fwoof*)
Ross: Yup. It’s this system that ensures that ‘there is no possible means of escape’. You could call it the major premise around here.
Well..i’d assume that your weak little body knows that all too well.
Kid: Guh!
Who gives a crap about that!! What the hell are these two systems huuuh?!
Mugi: The ‘Security system’…and ‘Promotion system’.
Kid: You know about ‘em Mugi?
Mugi: It’s what I was telling you about before. If you train here for 10 years you can leave…
Kid: This is the first time I’m hearing of the promotion system though….
Mugi: Well…um…

005
{So basically there are two ways to leave this place…}
(Top: 10 years// Sign: I’m outta here!)
{The first way is the ‘security system’ in which 10 years of training is essential. That’s the normal 10 year system.}
{Each and every person has their own potential and talent for martial arts, so they can establish their level with this method.}
{The 10 year system is for those who have no talent in martial arts as well as a security measure as well.}
{Then the other is for those who have studied martial arts for some time already and want to leave as soon as possible…the ‘Promotion system’.}
(Text- Testing//Sign- I’m outta here!)
{Advance through classes through testing and trials and one can leave here without waiting ten years.}
{The proof of graduation given to people who utilize the 10 year system is a ‘pass’ while those who go through the ‘Promotion system’ are given the ‘Scroll of secrets’.}
{It is using one of these two methods that is the only legitimate method of leaving this place and going to the outside.}

006
Ross: You got it.
Even if you do manage to get outta here somehow, either I or the instructors will use our full strength to drag yer ass back here.
If ya take a second to think about it, rather than trying to escape..
It would make more sense to just take the ‘Promotion system’ route over graduating to get out of here sooner, right?
Kid: You’re right!!
Ross: See what I mean?
And let me be honest kid, there are even people who manage to graduate within a year! It’s pretty dang simple.
Mugi: W—wait a minute! Don’t let him fool you Kid-kun!
There’s no one who’s ever been able to graduate in a year!
Normally even if you’re going at top speed, it still takes about 5 years or so!!
Kid: Hey Mugi, c’mere for a minute.
Mugi: Eh? Why?
(Sfx- Nico *grin*)

007
Kid: Listen up Mugi-chan…
As awesome as I am, I’ve gotta be realistic…there’s no way I’m gonna be able to advance that easily.
Mugi: B—but you were going along with him just now right?
Kid: It was in order to get that pig to lower his guard.
I’ve got an even easier method in mind.
Howzabout we just steal the scroll of secrets?
Mugi: Ah…so he’s that sort of person…
That’s impossible!!
Kid: It’ll be fine I’m tellin’ ya! I’ll do it by myself this time!
Ross: Ready yet?
Kid: NO!!
Ross: Heheheh. Aren’t we brave.

008
Mugi: I—it’s him…!!
Kid: Who the hell is that?
{That’s where the pig and I were going buck wild…}

009
Old dude: It’s good to have a bit of pep! Children should be at least a little naughty.
Kid: Who’s the old guy?
Mugi: D—d…
Director!!!

010
Kid: Whoa! He even managed to get the piggy to bow to him…who is that?!
Mugi: That man is the most powerful person here…
{There have been successive directors before that man but he’s the only one who knows and is able to use martial arts from the east, west, south and north. No other person can claim such a feat…}
{He even knows a thousand different forms of kenpou. When it comes to marital arts he’s extremely powerful.}
Chief: So you’re the reckless challenger hmm?

011
Chief: I know all about you. Until recently you were locked up in that room…for ten years was it?
And you escaped together with Ro.
Kid-kun right?
Kid: H—how did you know that?
Chief: Hoho…I am the chief after all…!
Keeping my eye on people is my specialty.
So I know quite a bit about you.
Everyone among the living has ‘ki’ coming from their body.
Ordinary people can’t see this , but with training it becomes quite easy to perceive.
Kid: ‘Ki’? Ro mentioned something like that…right?
Chief: If you have something like this for example…
You’d be able to see it well.

012
{The scroll of secrets…}
Kid: HAND IT OVER!!!
Mugi: D—don’t Kid-kun! There’s no way you can defeat him!!
Chief: Well, well! Aren’t we the greedy little beast?

013
{He read my movements?!}
Chief: I see all too well..
Your ‘ki’ betrays all of your movements.

014
Kid: Gaaah!!!
Mugi: Kid-kun!!
Kid: Hah…hah…
Chief: Hoho. If I do this I can see the future.
And if I touch you I can allow you to see it quite well too.

015
{Your…}
{Future….}
Kid: Uuu..
UWAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

016
Mugi: Ah…
Are you awake Kid-kun?
Kid: Mugi.
Mugi: Do you remember what happened? You tried to attack the chief but fainted.
Kid: I don’t remember…

017
(Entry contract: The undersigned below agrees with the following stipulations if they hope for admittance.// Honoring the rules of the gate. 2) Realizing that breaking rules could result in death.)
Mugi: He’s becoming depressed…!!
Um…..
That’s well…
Kid: So….
ANNNOOOOYIIIING!!!
Mugi: Ki—Kid-kun? Um…
Kid: But…

018
Kid: It’s really interesting too!!
The outside sounds so friggin’ awesome!!!
This is so sweet!!
(Handwritten- Ahahahaahah!)
{He’s happy?! But why?!}
Kid: Hey Mugi.
(Handwritten- Ah..i was laughing.)
Mugi: Y—yes?
Kid: There’s gotta be a person who breezed through the ‘graduation system’ really fast right?
Mugi: Y—yes. I believe it was twenty years ago where a person managed to graduate within a year…

019
Mugi: Eh?
Kid: Then imma do this in half a year.
Just you watch me, old man…I’ll get out of here fair and square.

020
Kujaku: Heyo! Here are your supplies~
I heard you had a tough time today Ross.
Ross: Heh. Ain’t nothin’ ‘rough’ about it.
It was a piece of cake like usual.
Kujaku: Ross…your face…
Ross: Heheheh…
He’s a hella interesting kid to be for sure…dunno if he’s just a lizard, or a dragon.
At least for now, I ain’t gonna quit my day job.
Hahahahaah…
(Side text- Kid’s claws left a mark!! Next issue he enrolls in the peerless temple!!)

Every chapter seems to have extra pages for this. I'm hanging in there for Mugi-chan though. O3O.

(Side text- He may be unable to remember his father’s face, but maybe in his dreams he can meet him again?)
TAJIMA KAZUKI
Chapter 4: The length of 10 years.
KOUKUSHI MUSOU!!
(Bottom text- Chapter 1 has been uploaded online! Clubsunday.jp.)

002
Kid: And so I was locked up in this huge room for 10 years…
And thanks to Ro I was able to get out!
(Side text- Kid happened to come to the rescue of the bullied girl Mugi. Will he involve her in his escape plan…?)
Kid: It was one hell of a fight too, you should have been there to see how awesome I was! The dragon was totally coming towards us and then…
{I have to run away…}
{If I split his story into two parts it’s kind of believable…}
{Leaving aside the hidden room and the dragon and stuff…}
{It’s true he’s not wearing the uniform for new pupils, and he doesn’t know the rules of the temple.}
{So he really doesn’t seem to be from around here…}

003
{But…}
Kid: I was kiiiinda hoping you could help me bust out of this place….
Mugi: Nowaynowaynowaynowaynnoway!! Absolutely no!!
(Side text- Let me go!)
Kid: Geez. Ro was saying the same thing. Why do people come to this temple then, huh?
Mugi: …I, I’m not here because I want to be….
Kid: Really? Then why not help me?
We can totally get out of here together!
It works out for you too right?
Mugi: I can’t.
{I entered this temple when I was 10 years old.}
{My mother and father forcefully placed me on this boat to Shangri-La.}

004
{I live in a martial arts dojo that I stand to inherit, so it was decided that I come here as a disciple.}
{Sign here.}
{Now that I think about it, it was like signing a contract with the devil.}
{Abandoned children…}
{Children who entered for one reason or another…}
{Children who seek fame and fortune…}
{Children who want the scroll of secrets…}
{Everyone had different reasons for coming here and enrolling.}
{I realized something very quickly on the first day of my enrollment though…}
???: This place is hell on earth!
I heard that this is a divine place that thieves and monsters cannot get into…!!
But this is much different than the stories!
{The people in my class soon wanted to leave.}
(Handwritten- C’mon out!!)
(Handwritten- I’ll friggin’ kill you dead!)
{There was one person who remained indifferent to his surroundings…}
Kid: That was probably Ro.
{And I too could only watch as it happened.}

005
Kid: Him huh….
Mugi: That’s why leaving this temple is just a dream within a dream.
Moreover realistically speaking, there’s a legitimate route that one can take to decent the mountain.
Kid: Legitimate route?

006
Mugi: Y—yes. It’s written on the enrollment contract…
If one is able to train in the temple for ten years then they can leave on their own accord.
(Big bubble- 10 years.)
Kid: 10 years?!
Mugi: In truth there’s one other route….
But it’s harsh to the point of being nightmarish.
So..um, you should just give up…
Kid: No way.
Mugi: Eh?
Kid: ….I dun wanna…
Wait that long.
Mugi: Bu…

007
Mugi: I’m telling you that leaving otherwise…
Is completely and utterly impossible….
(Sfx- Bashi *fwap*)
Mugi: Eeeeh? Despite everything I’m saying…
Kid: I…
Have been locked up in the temple’s room as ten years have passed, separated from my pops…
At first I thought he’d come and pick me up so I figured things would be okay…
But then one year passed….and then two…
And for 10 years I waited for him and he didn’t show up.
Mugi: Wh…
What are you talking about…
Kid: And now I…
Can’t even remember what my pops looks like.

008
Kid: 10 years is a long time…
A really…really long time.
{He doesn’t remember anything…}
{But I guess that’s what it is to have 10 years pass him by.}
{Without seeing his father’s face for that long he can’t remember what he looks like.}
{Even meeting his dreams…}
{Over and over again won’t…}
Mugi: I understand.

009
Mugi: I’ll help you escape from here Kid-kun.
T—that is whatever I am able to help out with..
I---oof?!
Kid: Thank you so much!!
I’ll make sure you don’t regret this Mugi!!
Mugi: I’ll….do my best..

010
Kid: Whoa it’s the monks!
Scawwwy.
Dude that was scarry.
The instructors have been really restless today…
Did something happen?
Ro: No way…this wouldn’t have anything to do with him would it?
{In front of the main gate….}

011
Mugi: All right…this should be okay…I think.
A decoy?
Kid: Yup! First you’re gonna run up to that pig with a disguise on.
While piggy’s attention is focused on you, I’ll sneak over to the gate and escape! You’ll be able to come and go without him figuring out who you are, so this plan is perfect!
Mugi: Are you sure this is okay? Will this really work?
Kid: It’ll be fine!! This is the plan I used to get out of that room you know!
{Yes…it should be okay. With this disguise I shouldn’t be discovered…}
{I just have to pull one over on Instructor Ross…!!}
{Since he isn’t allowed to leave the gate, he won’t come this way…}
{As such he won’t chase me too far since he has to keep guard at all times.}
{And the timing is perfect…!!}

012
Ross: Little brat…next time I see him, I’ll feed his carcass to the livestock.
Mugi: He’s been drinking so he’s messy drunk…!!!
(Sfx- Hikuh *hiccup*)
Mugi: I can do this!!
H—heeey! You fat pig!!
Ross: Huuuuh?
Mugi: Eeeeeek!!!
He’s too scary!!

013
{Aaaaahh!! My role is over! Kid-kun I hope you can pull it off from here!!}
Ross: Get back here dammit!!
{Thanks Mugi!!}
{I’ll never forget this favor!!}
(Side text- I probably won’t.)
{If I can sneak through here, then I’ll be outside!!}

014
Mugi: Kyaah!
{Oh no…!!}
Ross: Hmph! Getting a hold of this thing was the right call..
{Mugi…!!}
Mugi: But at least I was able to buy him time.
{I don’t…}
{Have anything worth bragging about.}
{My grades are in the gutter, and my parents pretty much abandoned me when I enrolled here.}
{However I do have something I yearn for…}
{When I saw Kid who was able to smile despite being worse for wear…}
{I thought to myself that it would be wonderful to be able to smile just like that.}

015
{I just want one thing that I can be proud of from the bottom of my heart…no matter what it is…}
{That’s all!!}
{Mugi…!!}
Ross: You wanna go?
If I don’t do anything then you all are going to start getting rough around the edges, and every damn kid will think they can get past my fists and escape.
The instructors won’t allow their cute little students to go to the gaol underground to train them properly either.
But for you this is game over!!
I’ll carve the reasons why you shouldn’t break the rules right into your body!!!

016
Kid: Nugggaaaaah…..!!

017
Kid: ORAAAAAAGH!!
(Sfx- Kashaaan *clatter*)
Mugi: Kid-kun!!!

018
Mugi: W—why did you come here?! This was your plan to escape wasn’t it…?
Kid: My pops said that I can’t allow women and children to get hurt.
Mugi: But this was your chance to escape outside…!!
Kid: If I have to ignore what my Pops said to escape…
Then how in the hell could I look him in the eye?!
{I thought he really wanted to get out…}
Ross: He was one splendid teacher huh?
But you’re not going to be able to honor his teachings…
You wanna know why?
Cause you’re weak!!

019
Ross: Pig foot style…hicc..!!
Kid: Look at that pig wobble!
Heck, I won’t even have to use my pops’s defensive moves at this rate!
I can’t read his movements…
What kind of move is this?!
That drunken stumbling is part of a suiken!!
You have to run Kid-ku—
(TN- Suiken –drunken fist.)
Ross: Too slow!!

020
Mugi: Kid-kun!!
Stop it please! He’s already down..!!
Kid: Gughhh!!
{I can’t breathe…!!}
Ross: Dammit. Look at my sunglasses….
What do you plan to do about this huh?

021
Ross: You’re one miserable brat, Kid…
Your dad taught you to protect those that need protection?
But there’s no way you can follow your dad’s wishes…
Because you’re a weakling!!

022
Ross: There are guys on the outside who are much stronger than me.
The real reason why you’re in this temple is for protection.
If you went outside the way you are now…I’d give you oh….five minutes before you died.
Kid: Cough…
Ross: If you really want out of here then you have to choose one of two ways.
One…you train here for 10 years and then graduate normally.
And then number two.
You become the strongest out of the two hundred thousand people living here…
And become the one who takes the ‘Scroll of secrets’!! Those are the only ways!!
(Side text- One who wants to leave only has two choices!! Which one will Kid choose?! Next issue contains a head color page as response to this series’s popularity!!)

But don’t go regretting the fact that you didn’t take my offer for a nap brat.
(Bottom text- Kid who wants to meet his father challenges the gatekeeper who’s the ultimate pig?!)
Kid: Heh! Your threats are meaningless!
‘Cause I’ve already seen through your moves!
Ross: Don’t go muttering stupid crap at me now!!
As if a newbie could see through me!!
Kid: Unugh!!

003
Ross: Pig’s hoof fist…!!

004
(Sfx- gutsuh *grab*)
Kid: Ain’t gonna work!!
Ross: What?!
Kid: Ugh…That had to work just now…
{This little brat actually managed to catch my punch and stop my movements for a second? I can’t lighten up on him for a second then…looks like Imma have to take this one seriously.)

005
Kid: Hows that piggy!?
That’s one of the rebound moves that my Pops taught me! Now back up or I’ll have to bring the pain train!!
Ross: Heheh…

{If that’s how it’s gonna be then…}
Kid: What?!
What’s that thing?!

009
Ross: What the…
HEY!!
Kid: Hahahaha! Gotcha!!
I’ll leave this place to you!!
Ross: You—
You little brat! Get yer ass back here!!
Kid: Oooh. Sorry but I can’t do that. Oh and isn’t not leaving the gate in the gatekeeper’s job description?!
Well then bye bye!!
Ross: D—
Dammit…

010
Kid: Hah..
Hah..
Hah hah..
I managed to get this far..
Dammitall! What should I do? As long as that pig is there I’m not gonna be able to get through that gate..
I’ll have to find another way out then…but..
Where am I?
Whoooa!!
That’s huge!!

011
Kid: Hmm…but this is a problem.
This temple is pretty huge so escape from above isn’t gonna happen, and neither is going from under…
And the sky has a ‘barrier’ thingy…
Hmm..
(Paper- Pops)
{Listen my son.}
{You’re already 5 years old. So on your birthday I’ll instruct you on the ten articles of manhood.}
{Pops can’t you teach me self defence? All you’ve taught me is how to take moves…but now how to dish them out.}
{Shut up and listen.}

012
Pops: There are things in this world that you can do nothing about.
There may even be situations where you can’t move an inch in any direction too.
In times like these a man has to consider his options and without agitation..
Take a nap.
Kid: All right! Nap time!
If Pops says so then there has to be a meaning!
(Flag- Takayama illness.)
???: Aww man..
I really don’t feel like cleaning the watchtower…
No one even uses it! So why do we have to go into that broken down temple anyway?
You said it.
Hey!
Mugi-chan, you’re too slow!

013
Mugi: Ah…sorry..
It’s just this is really heavy…
Girl: Is this the best someone from a distinguished family can do?
Girl2: This is the first time I’ve heard this..
Girl: Mugi-chan is from a family who owns a famous dojo.
Girl2: Eh? Seriously! That’s awesome.
(Hair ornament- Forturne.)
Girl2: My family’s from way out in the boondocks. We’re farmers and all.
Girl: Mugi-chan here has the distinguished honor of having
The worst grades in our class.
You think she got accepted because of her connections?
Girl2: Maaaaybe it’s because she’s got money that she got in here. I mean there’s no other way someone like her would be able to get into the peerless imperial temple right?
Mugi: Ahaha..
You’re probably right. But I’m working really hard though…

014
Girl: We’re like totally done with this.
Mugi(?): Ah…yeah.
Girl: Aww, c’mon. What are you doing Mugi-chan?
(Sfx- Zahh *sfft*)
Girl: You’re really so clumsy you know that? Can you at least clean this on your own?
If you don’t straighten up, your famous family name will weep in disgust you know?

015
Girl: Though on that subject…
Mugi-chan are you sure you know who your Dad is?
Are you sure you’re not just the product of some fling?
I heard that folks with money do all sorts of dirty things….poor baby.
Oh?
What’s that fist for?
You want some of this?
Mugi: Ahahah…
It’s nothing…
Girl: Hmph.
Well if that’s all then we leave this to you~

016
???: Wait a second.
Girl: …Who’s that?
Hey! There’s someone on top of the roof!
Kid: I heard a good deal of crap being flung over someone’s feelings underneath me while I was napping..

017
Kid: My name is Kid!!
And you guys just said the absolute worst thing you could have said with me here!
{Who…is he?}
Girl: I’ve never seen you around.
And why are you here? Gonna save the tragic heroine?
{He came down here?}

018
Kid: You just shut up and let them say whatever they wanted about you…
But are you seriously just an illegitimate kid?
Mugi: N—No! I know my parents really are my parents!
Kid: Then why the hell..
Didn’t you say that to them?!
You know what?!
I hate people like them who diss other people’s families the most!!
I’ve been sitting up there trying to let it slide but I can’t anymore…!!

019
Kid: Just sitting there and letting them talk crap about your family pisses me off too!!
(Sfx- Bakkiiitsh *crackle*)
Kid: Huh?

020
Girl: You stupid idiot!! Because you decided to make that pole your soapbox….
The stopper has completely broken!!
Kid: Uuuh…
UGHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
{Revolving lantern.}

021
Pops: Listen my son…no matter who they are, a man must never harm a woman…
No matter what woman they may be.
Kid: Kuh…
Guuuh…
GODDAMMITALLL!!!
OOorahhh!!

022
Kid: Awesome!! It’s returning in this direction!!
Girl: I didn’t see anything!!
Girl 2: Wait up!!

023
Mugi: Kid! Are you okay?!
Kid: What about those girls…?
Mugi: They don’t seem to have been hurt.
Kid: I see…
(Sfx- Hoh *poff*)
Kid: That’s good.
(Sfx- Gakuhh *thud*)
Mugi: Ah?! K—Kid-kun!
Hang on Kid-kun!!
{Aah…This one is for my nameless Pops….}
{Looks like it’s over for me…}
{At least…}
{At least let me get one look at your face…}

024
Kid: Huh?
Mugi: Ah!
You’re awake.
Kid: Is this heaven?
Mugi: No…you didn’t die!
I happened to have some bandages with me…but are you okay?
Kid: Yeah. Thanks. Though…who are you?

025
Mugi: My name is Mugi. You said your name is Kid right?
Um…thanks for saving me.
Kid: It was nutthin!
I mean it’s not like I intended to save you anyway so I don’t need to be…
Thanked…
No, I mean seriously I don’t need your thanks…
Mugi: Eh?
Kid: Well I mean if you’re going to insist on thanking me…
Mugi: Eh?
Eh?
{To my nameless pops…}

026
Kid: Do ya think you could just lend me a liiiiiiitle bit of help?
{I’ll be coming to meet you soon.}
{No matter what kinds of methods I have to use…~}
Mugi: He’s a devil!!
I can’t take it up here on this mountain!! I wanna go hooooome!!
{Meanwhile Ro was…}
Kujaku: HEY! AREN’T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE ON HOUSE ARREST?!

After reading some of the artist commentaries on this series...I think Tajima-sensei might be a woman. At least the way the commentaries are worded seem to suggest she's a woman...and Kazuki can be a woman's name too. It's nothing major, but I guess it's sort of cool that Sunday seems to be slowly turning into a shounen magazine with influential female artists.

(Top text- Chapter two of the new serialization! A grand volume of 27 pages!!)
KOKUSHI MUSOU!!
Kid: What is this place? I don’t see anyone…
Where’s Ro?
(Side text- Kid as a child wanders and hears a voice….who is this person behind him?)
(TN- The third bubble is unreadable in the online raw and in the physical Shounen Sunday issue as well. Now it may have been intentionally done like this since Kid doesn’t have his memories but I’m not sure. For now I’d say leaving it blank is the best choice.)
???: I’ve told you not to leave me and wander on your own.

002
Kid: I can’t see his face…
Who…
Are you?
Why are you crying…?

003
TAJIMA KAZUKI
Chapter 2: Peerless Gatekeeper.
(Side text- When he awakens what is reflected in his eyes is scenery from 10 years ago. Now Kid’s tale begins!!)
Kid: It was a dream…
KOKUSHI MUSOU!!

004
(Sfx- Mukuh *sfft*)
Kid: Where am I?
Oh right. I’ve been locked up in a weird place since forever and I was never able to get out but..

005
Kid: I’M OUTSIDE!!
(Handwritten- OUTSIDE!!//Side//dee)
Kid: I’m free…
And it’s so awesome…

006
Ro: SHUT THE HELL UP!!
Are you retarded?! Who makes that much noise first thing in the morning?
Kid: O—
OWWWW! Geez Ro C’mon. I haven’t been free for ten years bro. A little celebration is in order!!
Ro: Whaaat?! Did you forget who got you out of there?! Moreover thanks to a certain someone I got all beat up!
And to make matters worse, I’ve been put on house arrest for skipping training.
So I’d really appreciate it if you didn’t do crap that will only make things more difficult.
Kid: Hey lookit the rainbow!

007
Ro: And now what are you going to do?
Cause let me tell you, I have no need or want for a roommate.
Kid: Well, I mean it’d be a blast to stay here and stuff but…
But I’ve got ‘plans’ to take care of. Sorry.
Ro: …What did that ‘sorry’ just now mean?
(Handwritten- You bastard.)
Kid: Sorry for leaving you alone I mean~
Ro: I’ll throw you from the celling.
Kid: I’ve…
Got to go looking for my Dad now.

008
Ro: Your Dad huh…
Wait a minute.
You said that you lost all of your memories of the past right?
Kid: Yeah…so I totally don’t remember what my pops looks like or what his name is.
But I do remember some of the stuff he used to tell me.
Pops and I traveled the world and saw the world’s scenery and stuff…he taught me stuff about being a man some proverbs and other stuff….I still see that vividly in my dreams..
It’s just I can’t see his face so I always end up asking who he is…
And…
And Pops…
Always looks really sad and he’s crying.
Ro: These are your dreams?
Kid: Yeah but…
Pops is crying..
(Sfx- Pota *drip*)

009
Kid: And it makes me sad too…
Why can’t I remember what he looks like….?
Uugh…
Ro: Ugh…!!?
{He wouldn’t do that here…right?!}
(Sfx-HIEEEEH *SOOOB*)
Ro: Geh! He would.
{Ever since I met him, I’ve thought he’s just some brat who looks like he’s no more than five years old.}

010
{Well, he has been locked up in that place for the last ten years…}
{Could it be ever since he separated from his father that time has stopped for him?}
{I guess in a way I can sort of understand how he feels.}
Ro: So you’re just gonna up and leave to search for him…
But do you have any leads?
I mean you’re not even sure if he’s alive anymore.
Kid: No problem.
If I go to this place then I’m sure I’ll find something.
Ro: What’s that?
Kid: It’s where Pops and I travelled. I drew it myself but maybe it’s hard to read?
Ro: I guess everyone has something they’re good at huh.
Kid: What?
Ro: Nothing.

011
Ro: Sorry but I know next to nothing about the outside world just like you.
I’ve done nothing but train since I was a brat.
Kid: I see. While we’re on the subject, why did you come here Ro?
Ro: Dunno.
I guess I just decided to take it upon myself to come here, and get locked in.
Kid: Why?
Everyone here is just like that you know.
They’ve all got different circumstances or desires that brought them here.
For the sake of ‘freedom’ they’ve all got things they want to obtain.
This place is a mecca for martial artists known all around the world…everyone aspires to come here.
The outside world is unforgiving. You don’t need to worry about being attacked, snatched or involved in a struggle as long as you’re within these walls.

012
Ro: You can gain power…
Public safety…
Political power….
And aim for becoming peerless!!

013
???: What do you intend to do Chief? Will leaving him to take care of himself be the best course of action?
Chief: That boy is already more than a decade old. We can’t keep him chained down forever.
Listen well…just follow the rules as usual, and do not report this incident to anyone.

014
Everyone: Yes sir!
We should do something to ensure that the first year student Ro doesn’t speak of this.
We’d be too naiieve to rely on house arrest alone.
Chief: Hohoho…you all are far too destructive.
Well…I suppose if he breaks the rules and tries to escape this place..
Then even if it results in death, that shouldn’t be a problem…

015
Kid: Welp…
I won’t forget the favor you did for me!! I’ll always remember you!
Ro: Are you serious?
Leaving this academy is forbidden.
The Gatekeeper will stomp you flat.
Kid: No problem man! If I don’t do anything suspicious and sneak out then it’s all good.
Ro: Although the way you’re dressed just oozes suspicion.
Well whatever. See ya.
Kid: Hey Ro!

016
Kid: Thanks for getting me out of that room!!
Bye bye!!

017
Guy: Sorry Ro…
That’s why he’s always alone.
Ro: ‘Thanks’….
It’s been a while since I’ve heard that word.

018
Kid: Damn. There are people everywhere.
This place is awfully wide too…where’s the exit?
Hm?
(Sfx- Kon *tfft*)
Kid: All right! That looks exit-ish!
And there’s no one around!!
{Now’s my chance!!}

019
???: How many years has it been….
Since I took over this post and somebody actually tried to escape…?
Kid: Huh?
???: Pig foot style…Pig hoof fist…

020
???: Buraaa!!
Kid: Uwah!!
Wh—wha…
What the hell?!
???: Well now?
What’s going on here? For the first time in a while I get some prey…or so I thought..

021
???: And it’s a newbie!
That’s boring as hell.
Kid: You’re…!!
???: Pfhoot..
(Sfx- Pyoooko *ppoit*)
Kid: What the hell are you? That’s some weird costume you’ve got.
???: I’m a pig.
And that’s one lame reaction.
Kid: Awesome. The outside really is cool!
There’s all sorts of stuff I don’t know anything about.
???: Outside?

022
{There’s been a decree from the Chief….there’s an escapee on their way here.}
{It’s the child from the forbidden room. So be sure to be nice to him.}
???: I’ve heard some interesting rumors about you boy.
I’m quite happy I’d be able to meet you so quickly.
???: Shall we introduce ourselves? I’m Ross. I’m this academy’s gatekeeper.
Since I became the gatekeeper ten years ago not a single thing…even a fly has managed to escape from this place.
Kid: Hey! I’m Kid.
And today I intend to escape!
(Sfx- Pikuh *poit*)
Ross: Hey brat…were you not listening to what I said?
You ain’t leaving because I’m not gonna let you!

023
Ross: If you really wanna get through here, the only way is..
Kid: He disappeared!
(Sfx- TSuhhh)
Ross: Defeating me!!
Got it?!

024
Kid: Dammit…
Get out of my way!!
Ross: You’re too damn slow!
Hijime Ken!!!
(TN-Hoof fist)
Kid: Ungh!!

025
Kid: Gah!!!
Ross: Oh…damn. Not good.
I guess it really has been a while…I forgot how to hold back. Not good at all.
Well…I guess this is good medicine for kids who don’t know their place.
Take a 2 or 3 day nap boy and cool your head off.

026
Ross: Geez, it’s all over.
And here I was thinking I could burn off some time. I’m so freaking bored.
Kid: Wait.
Ross: And here I thought I went too far, but it turns out my moves were too shallow?
Kid: You thought a flimsy punch like that would work on me?!

027
Kid: Don’t underestimate me, piggy!
My pops taught me how to take moves like that, and there’s more where it came from!!
Ross: Oh, now this is interesting. You’re pretty good….
I haven’t been this fired up in a while.
(Side text- This gatekeeper pig is strong!! Next issue features 26 pages too!! What kind of secret moves will Kid show us?!)

Hmmm. Anagle is coming back soon, I'm still doing Mushibugyo, Gintama is still a block of text, I'm trying to catch up on Nejimaki, and I still have two more volumes of Bullet Armors to finish. Yet I'm doing this. Ahah. Who needs friends when you've got pointless translations to do?

???: Ahem. We’d like to thank all of you for riding on this boat to Shangrila.
KOUKISHI MUSO!!

Girl: Hey first years! What’s the deal?! If you don’t put your backs into it then you’re gonna fall!!
Slowpokes have to spend a week cleaing in front of the palace’s gates!!
Guy: Dammit.
The hell is up with this hellish training for the new entries? It’s the same crap day in day out…
Moreover is there a point to this climbing in pairs thing?
They even went as far as tying a rope to our waists…
???: Move it.
Dudes: Whaat?!

006
Dude: If this is all the mecca of martial arts has to offer…
Then I’m honestly disappointed.

007
Dude: It won’t be long until I’m able to get that rumored mystery scroll.
Girl: Ohoho. No need to worry..
In this game…
Guys like you are the first to drop out.
Dude: Huh….
People: Uwaaah…
We’re falling!!
Dude: …Ngh.

008
{Match the breath in my palm with the breath in this rock…!!!}
People: Hey…!
You okay?
???: Oooh…a stoma huh?
You might think you have nothing else to learn from the first years..
But though you can match your breathing with that rock’s…
You’ve still gotta be able to match up with other people too…

009
(Sfx- Pihhh *wffft*)
Dude: …Ngh..
Dammit!
Guy: S…
Sorry…
???: “Mantsuman tower climbing.” Two people climb while being connected to one another. If one person falls down then the other above them does so as well. In short it is an exercise where two people’s fates are connected.
Our academy is one which promotes moving as a pair.

010
???: If one person is to be punished then that other will receive it too. That is the iron clad rule here.
Guy: H-hey Ro-kun?
Sorry about earlier.
Okay?
Ro: What the hell is so funny to him…
If that’s how you feel then do some more training.
Dude: Hey now Ro-kun. No need to go that far.
There are better ways to say what you mean.
Ro: What? And if I change what I’m saying what does it matter?
I didn’t come here to hang out and make buddies.

011
Dude: The hell is up with your attitude?!
Dude 2: Just leave him be. That’s the sort of guy he is.
That’s why..
You’re always alone.
{First year dormitory.}

012
{Dammit!! What the hell am I doing?}
{I thought I had finally made it to the mecca of martial arts, but every damn day I’m forced to bring myself to the level of those rejects…..}
{And on top of that we’re supposed to work in pairs?!}
{It’s all a stupid joke!!}
{Those guys are all useless. Everywhere I go I don’t see martial artists, just a bunch of guys playing king of the hill…}
{Moreover they just brag about how great they are. It’s absolutely friggin’ everywhere.}

013
{No one here thinks that they’re stronger than anyone else.}
(Sfx- Gyahahahaha)
{They’re all just a bunch of people who assume that if they can get a little stronger than they are now then they’ll be fine.}
{I have no need to associate with them.}
{Not if I want to pursue my ambition of being the worlds best martial artist.}
{I’ll take every minute and every second to get stronger and hurry off this godforsaken mountain.}
{And I’ll do it faster than anyone else!!}
{I have no time to waste…!!}

This comment may seem like it’s as stiff and cold as a cat’s attitude but drawing manga until I’m to tired to move is a good feeling. I’m glad to meet you all and hope you’ll treat me well.)

014
{Save me…}
{Someone….save me…}
Ro: What…?
Who’s voice was that just now?
Outside…?
(Sign- Entry forbidden.)
Ro: I can see from here that this territory is off limits…

015
Ro: That’s right…Kujaku said…
{All the bad little kiddies who sneak out and enter the forbidden territory can just forget about coming back.}
Ro: She made it sound like…
There’s no way to get in more than anything.
(Sfx- Tan *tpt*)
Ro: This door…
Someone used their ‘stoma’ and shut it…

016
Ro: But if I were to do this…
What the heck is this?

017
Ro: There’s an entire forest within this building…
Damn.
The ‘energy’ caused the door to shut again….what a pain.

018
Ro: Wha…
What the hell is that monster?!

019
???: Watch out!!!
{Wha…}
{Wha…}
{Wha…}
Ro: What the?!

020
(Sfx- UWAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!)

021
Ro: I…
I thought I was gonna die…
Hey…what are you doing?
You listening?
???: You…
Screwed up on the door thing man.
???: The door…
You know it’s been 10 years since someone came here? And I thought I had finally gotten a chance…

022
???: But now the door is cloooooosed!!!
Ro: God he’s annoying!!
Damn.
???: By the way buddy…who are you? And how’d you get the door to open huuh?
Ro: I used my stoma.
I mean you can use it right? That’s obviously how you got in here.
???: ‘Sthoma?’ what’s that?
Ro: What?

023
???: See I lost my memories a long time ago and ended up in here without knowing how.
And before you know it, I’ve been living here for ten years…
Ro: Hu…
What?!
{Dammit. I’ve run into a guy who’s lost his memories? That’s so friggin’ annoying.}
{What the heck do I do? If he’s telling the truth then no one is gonna come and save us.}
{If I slip up I could end up living here for ten years too….}
{This sucks.}
{I’d just book it, but there’s that monster hanging out by the door.}
{Dammit. What the hell were those teachers thinking having that thing right beside the temple?}

024
{Then…}
{Is this the sorta place where I should get reckless…?}
Ro: Let go of me.
???: No way! You’re planning on ditching me and leaving aren’t you?
Then teach me too!
I wanna get out of this place!
Ro: You listening kid?
I’m warning you.
Get your dirty-ass paws off of me!
Shitty brat!
???: Heh..!
What’s with your weird little punch….

025
???: NGH!
You—your hand stretched?!
{This guy doesn’t know the foundations of the basics either…I mean everyone knows about the jaken….}
(TN- Snake fist.)
{That’s nonsense.}
Ro: Sorry kiddo, but this is where I say goodbye. It’s a shame we couldn’t get out together. Bye.

026
Ro: Let go.
Sorry but I’m nothing like you or the others. I don’t even like you guys.
???: You haven’t been alone for ten years so you just don’t get it…
But I promise you I’ll be useful!!
Believe me!!
Ro: I’m saying…
I hate that kind of stuff!!
???: ….Ah..!!!

027
???: Ah…
Then…
Let me be your shield!!!
Ro: What.
???: Yeah I know I don’t know much about martial arts and I’m weak and stuff..
But I can be your shield…
Even if you don’t like people, a person isn’t a shield! And if you don’t like that I’ll be anything you want!
Ro: What are you….
??: And if you get tired of using me…
At that time you can..
Just throw me away!!

028
Ro: Dammitall…
Don’t forget what you just said.
From here on in you’re my shield!!
???: Y—yeah!!
Ro: First off, what’s your name?
???: Dunno. Forgot.
Ro: ……Then brat will work…or no. Kid. Let’s go Kid.
{Meanwhile, outside of the door...}

029
Dude: Did you find him?
Kujaku: No. Nothing.
Dude: Dammit. Where the hell did that Ro dude get to?
Kujaku: I have a bad feeling…
It’d be nice if nothing is happening at all but…
Dude: Where can we search now?
Lady: There’s the restricted area…
Dude: We thought about that but there’s no way any of the students can break the seal and enter.
All right then, lets investigate the outside. We have to find him.
Ro: Wow…
Seriously what the heck is this building.

030
Ro: There’s a flowing river, fruit and trees growing.
I’ve investigated this place thoroughly and conclude that this building is crazy.
Though…
One thing….
Why the hell did you come to where I was sleeping dammit?!
It’s creepy!!
I even went through the trouble of creating a place for you to sleep below!!
Kid: What does it matter?! I like the top bunk!!
Ro: Fine then. I’ll take the bottom one.
(Sfx- Zahh *sfft*)
Ro: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?!

031
Kid: Well yanno, it’s been 10 years since I was ‘together’ with anyone.
Ahhh I’m so excited!!
Having someone here is awesome!
Ro: I really want to be alone. You’re a pain in the ass.
Friends and partners are pointless.
A martial artist doesn’t need that crap.
Kid: Really? A ‘marshal artist’ is that sorta thing?
You’ve gotta be lonely without friends Ro.
Though I wonder…if you get really strong, would you have to be scared of being ‘alone’?

032
Ro: I dunno.
Dammit. That monster really isn’t gonna leave that door huh.
Kid: What will we do Ro? We can’t get outside like this.
Ro: Listen up Kid.
Unless I use my stoma on the door, it won’t open.
So I’ll need you to buy me some time.

033
Ro: It takes about 30 seconds to open that door. During that time I’ll be completely defenseless.
So you’ll need to keep that monster at pay for at least 30 seconds.
It doesn’t sound like a lot of time but it’s going to be real tough.
(Sfx- Gokun *nod*)
Ro: You did say you’d be my shield though right?
Kid: Yup! I got it!
Just leave it to me!

034
Kid: Hey stupid lizard!
I’m right over heeeere~
Uwaaaaaaaah!!!
Here he comes!!
Ro: While that’s going on I have to get to the door…!!

035
Ro: Wha…
{That idiot! I didn’t think he was just going to straight up fight it…!!}
Kid: Ugoh!!
Uuuuuuuhhh.
Ro: That idiooooot!!
{The hell did he mean ‘leave it to me?’ You didn’t even buy me a second!!}
Ro: Damn….well whatever.
I figured it might come down to this…

036
Ro: I shouldn’t have relied on that guy from the start.
Dragon Gyah…
Ro: Nyorai Rokudouken.

Ro: Did I get him?
{I think I might have overdone it with that punch…}
{But…with this…}
{I can get outside…}
Kid: Cough cough…ow!
This is one hell of a dust cloud! I can’t see anything!
(Sfx- Yuraaa *wffft*)
Kid: Ro!!!

{Dammit! There was no effect?!}
{There’s no point in…}
{Guarding against something like that….}

041
Ro: K—Kid…are you okay?
Kid: I’m good. I’ve got a strong body…
{Good isn’t the word I’d use for this…Normally you’d get snapped in half by that sort of attack.}
{What just happened?}
Kid: What are you doing Ro? Get to he door fast..
I’ve got your back covered….
It’s because I want to get out of here that we drew up this plan and I became the bait.
If it’s your strength I need to get out of here then..
{Just what the hell is he…?!}

042
Kid: Then I’ll protect you with my life!!
{He’s different.}
{Kid is different than them….}
{I don’t know how he is…but I can tell.}

043
Ro: Kid!
Watch my back.
Kid: Leave it to me!!
{Hey….what is this?}
{What the hell am I doing?!}
Kid: URAAAAAH!!

044
(Sfx- DOooon *THOOM*)
{What the heck was that sound just now…}
{Don’t tell me he just got himself killed…}
{What’s going on behind me right now…?}
{Is Kid okay?}
{No…}
Ro: Fuh…
Fuuh..
{He’s behind me.}
{I know he stopped it, so I just have to continue our plan.}
{What the hell am I doing?! I have to hurry up!!}
{Ro Uei!!}
{Ro….!!}

045
{I’ve got your back Ro!!}
Ro: OPEN UP
DAMMITTTTTT!!!

046
{Aah…I’m such a dumbass…}
{The way it all ended was boring.}

047
(Sfx- Zuzuhhh *sshhhft*)
Kid: Outta the way lizard breath.
We’re the ones who are gonna get out of here.

Kid: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!

Kid: Nuuhhh

EEEYAAAAH!!!
Uugh…
{Wh—wha the hell…}
{What kind of power was that just now?}
Kid: Uugh. My strength just…

051
Ro: Hey…wake up Kid…what did you just…
Kid: Uuugh..
Ro: Ugh…
This bastard is annoying.
He’s back again.
Hey Kid! Wake up! We have to run back to the door!
Kid: I don’t have any strength…
Ro: ……ngh..

052
Ro: Dammit!!
Kid: We have to get out of here before the door closes!
Ro: THEN WALK YOURSELF!!
Both: UWAAAAAAAAH!!

053
Ro: W—
We’re saved…
He used up his strength and fell asleep.

054
Ro: We got out of there somehow…
But is this really okay?
???: Hmm..
So it seems his power is recklessly out of control huh?
Guy: What should we do director? That boy managed to get out…

055
Guy: If you want I can go there and throw him back in…
Chief: No need! I’ve got something much more interesting in mind.
Guy: Chief….have I ever told you that your use of the word ‘interesting’ is my number one fear?
Chief: Hohoho. Just play along and allow this old man a little fun.
And you two will be quite entertaining from here on in.
(Side text- Next issue too has 27 pages! Now that he’s in the outside world after ten years, what kind of things will Kid want to do?!)
