It's totally dark. Why'd you bring us here... Sword: !? --- Page 03 Principal: Hehehe... Welcome. This is the main stage for Shinsei Houou Campus' underground martial arts tournament!! --- Page 04 Sword: Something like this, under the school!? Are you serious... Principal: Now the parcipitants are all assembled... Sword: These humans are the parcipitants...? Don't make fun of me, a Devil... Ranfuu: Those that principal have assembled are no ordinary humans... --- Page 05 Ranfuu: Including me... Sword: After all, your just a human. No worthy adversary for me. Let's settle this quicklöy! Go... Nanami: Wait, Sword! Sword: Gwaah! Ios: Sword!? --- Page 06 Sword: F... uck... The time... limit... at a time... like this... Ranfuu: What, it seems you came back from Hell weaker than before... Sword: Ngh... You just shut up, Ranfuu!! Principal: Hehehe... I thought so at the contest, too, but you have something interesting. But, don't worry. This isn't the time to fight. First, look over there!! --- Page 07 Principal: The comptetion will go according to these combinations. Principal: The first fight is tomorrow night!! Sword: Wait! Sword: Forget about that, bastard, were you speaking the truth!! Principal: Ah... That if you appear in the tournament, I would guarantee the lives of the normal students... It's the truth. Don't you trust me? Sword: Hmph... How could I. --- Page 08 Sword: The words of someone creating those things!! I really should just kill you now... Ios: I don't think we can settle this with just him... For now, we'll just have to go along... Sword: Ngh... Principal: Oh, right, one more thing. Sword: What!! Principal: You can't appear in the tournament unless there's five of you. --- Page 09 Nanami: What should I do... Nanami: I just wanted to live a normal life... Why'd all this have to happen... Nanami: ... Nanami: All right, I've decided!! --- Page 10 Ios: How troubling, needing a five-parcipitant group to qualify... Ranfuu-san ha become an enemy, and we haven't seen Garvera-san around lately... Sword: Gaaaah, damn, why do we have to go on some stupid member hunt early in the morning!! Ios: Thinking closely, there's no-one in our school who can fight. Sword: Anyone will do, so... Student: There they are, it's them!! Yo! Long time no see, Amano Souma and Kanna of Rokubou High... --- Page 11 Sword: What's with you? Student: We're from Kairai High, and we owe you one! Don't tell me you forgot!! Sword: Aaah, those weaklings? I'm busy, so get out of my face!! Student: That won't do. Gotta do you before I can calm down! Sword: How interesting... --- Page 12 Sword: You came at the right time. I'll fight you!! Student: Y, you!! Student: Hey, gentleman!! --- Page 13 Student: Wha!? Kanna: Gentleman? Who're you saying that to... Student: What's with him? The mood's totally different!! --- Page 14 Sword: !! Kanna: Sword, since I figure you can't use any demonic energy in that form, I'll lend a hand. Kanna: Shouldn't you be thankful!! Sword: Don't butt in!! Student: Let's get these guys!! Student: That's enough!! Student: You won't be able to defeat those two whatever you do. Better leave them alone... --- Page 15 Student: Aizawa-san!! Sword: Wh, what? Who's this runt!! --- Page 16 Aizawa: I wouldn't say runt, seeing as how I'm a third-year student. Aizawa: You should pay respect to your elders. Sword: Shut up, outta my way you runt!! Aizawa: Don't be so impatient, we'll get to fight anyway... Sword: Could it be that you... --- Page 17 Aizawa: Aizawa Jin, of Kairai Highschool. We're your first-round opponents!! Aizawa: I'm sorry about our students causing you trouble. But, we'll be the ones to win the tournament. Remember that! Aizawa: Oi, carry off the injured. Student: Yes... Sword: Hehehe... Did you hear that, Kanna? Sword: Seems like some mere human thinks he can defeat me. --- Page 18 Sword: Don't make me fucking laugh, the first round will be an easy victory!! Kanna: Well, that's if we can find more people... Sword: R, right. There's that... Nanami: Aaah, Sword, Ios-san, I finally found you!! Nanami: Oh... it's... Kanna-kun? Kanna: Yo... Long time no see. --- Page 19 Nanami: Just when I wanted to see you, Kanna-kun. Stop Sword from appearing in the martial arts tournament!! Kanna: Huh? Sword: What? For whose sake do you think I'm... Nanami: But, you mustn't put Souma & co in danger! Sword: It's always Souma this and Souma that, bitch!! Nanami: If you won't stop no matter what, then... --- Page 20 Sword: Uh... Err... th, these glasses, could it be... Nanami: So, now you can't appear, right!! Souma: Na- Nanami-chan... Kanna: I guess the first round won't be an easy victory after all...
