(from Shounen Sunday 24/00) version 1, 000730 Artwork and story by Miyoshi Yuuki Crappy translation by Ronny Hedin (thark@mangakai.org) --- Page 01 Text: Chapter 129, Patience. --- Page 02 Mizumi: In the name of the Lord. Mizumi: Release the sealed soul. Mizumi: I guess I just can't do it. Mizumi: I created those sealing glasses, but only the one that placed them... in other words, Nanami, can remove them. --- Page 03 Kanna: Sheesh, Nanami always butts in... Mizumi: But, that they can't be removed this easily means... Mizumi: That Nanami's feelings of not wanting him in the martial arts tournament are very strong... Nanami: Unlike Sword, Souma wouldn't appear in some martial arts tournament, so now I'm relieved. I couldn't live a normal life if he appeared in that thing!! --- Page 04 Principal: Shinsei Houou Campus underground martial arts tournament. Finally, tonight. Ranfuu: Combining many highschools into one, selecting the strongest persons from among them, and making them fight. Ranfuu: And giving the winner... --- Page 05 Ranfuu: The power to surpass humanity... Ranfuu: And this also part of that research... right? Principal: Hehehe... Yeah, something like that. --- Page 06 Souma: What will we do, Kanna... Souma: I can't switch places with Kanna, and we can't get 5 people. If this continues we can't particitate in the martial arts tournament... Kanna: ...Can't be helped... Kanna: Souma, you appear like you are. And you Mizuno, you particitate too. Souma: Eeeh, no way!! Mizumi: Wh, why me...!? Kanna: Got a problem with that? Kanna: Now there's three of us... Two more, is it... Bat-cat: I guess that's my cue, meow!! --- Page 07 Bat-cat: Leve it to me, meow, I'll be a member, meow!! Mizumo: B... Bat-cat-san... (Souma: It even got a uniform...) Kanna: Two more, is it... Bat-cat: Don't ignore me, meooow!! Bat-cat: Not fair, trying to get the great power all for yourselves, meow!! --- Page 08 Souma: Eh... W, what's that? Bat-cat: What, meow, didn't you kneeeeow? Bat-cat: The winner of the tournament will be given a great, super-human power, meow!! Souma: Superhuman power...? Bat-cat: Yep, meow, I want to get that too and become a splendid devil, meooow!! Kanna: Superhuman power, eh... Certianly, that principal said those experimental specimen he created were cultivated demonic cells. --- Page 09 Kanna: Meaning I can think of only one thing. Kanna: This superhuman power the principal's speaking of, must be related to those specimen!! Bat-cat: ? Kanna: So there's something with the tournament after all... We definitely have to particitate to find out his goals... Sword: B, but, we still lack members... Kanna: Bat-cat, I entrust to you this important duty. Kanna: Souma, I'll use the last resort. You tie your stomach too!! --- Page 10 Sign: Entry forbidden! Mizumi: W, wow... Principal: Welcome to the Shinsei Houou Campus underground martial arts tournament!! --- Page 11 Principal: ...I would've wanted to say, but there's not enough of you, is there? Kanna: ...Don't worry, we'll soon... Nanami: Kanna-kun!! Nanami: What's with this!! (Bat-cat: I deliverd the letter properly, meow.) Letter: I'm taking Souma along to particitate in the martial arts tournament. If you want him back, come to the arena!! Kanna. Souma: Na, Nanami-chan!? --- Page 12 Souma: The last resort, could you mean...!? Kanna: Don't worry, it's enough that Nanami comes. I'm not planning to have her fight! Principal: Hehehe... I see. Principal: It seems you're using one from another school and one wierd one, but at least you're 5 now. Well, OK. (Arrow: A wierd one.) Nanami: Souma, are you part of this too!? Souma: N, no! Kanna did this all on his... --- Page 13 Nanami: I just wanted to live a normal life... Why'd you have to particitate in the martial arts tournament... Souma: I, I'm sorry... Sword's taking part of the tournament so you can live a normal life, Nanami-chan... I'd never have thought you'd be dragged into it... Nanami: Idiot!! I'm not upset about that!! Nanami: I just don't want everyone put in danger!! Nanami: So why!? (Souma: Nanami-chan...) Souma: I'm... afraid of the tournament too, and don't want to tkae part... Nanami: Eh? --- Page 14 Souma: But, you saw them too, Nanami-chan, those specimen. As Kanna said. That principal might be planning something even more terrible... Souma: To find that out, I've decided to particitate in this tournament. Souma: If it's something bad, I have to stop it!! --- Page 15 Souma: But, I don't want you to end up in danger, Nanami-chan, so I guess we should... Nanami: If that's what you guys think's then I don't have to stop you!! Nanami: Since it can't be helped, I'll have to be patient about the normal life a while longer... Souma: Eh, but, Nanami-chan... --- Page 16 Nanami: But definitely don't let it come to my turn, 'cause I can't fight!! Souma: Y, yeah! Nanami: All right. Nanami: And Kanna-kun, I'll remember this. Principal: Hehehe... Principal: It seems you've settled your discussion. Shall we begin the first battle of the first round of the underground martial arts tournament, Kairai High versus Rokubou High!? --- Page 17 Principal: Contestants Aizawa Jin and Amano Souma, step forward!! (Souma: no way, me...) Aizawa: Fiiiinally my turn!! Bat-cat: I put down the order, meow! Souma: Don't do that on your own!! --- Page 18 Aizawa: Sorry, since it's a winner-stays fight, your turns won't come!! Aizawa: I'll settle this all on my own!! Aizawa: What's with you, the moods totally different from when we met yesterday... Nanami: Ah, that's right, the glasses, I forgot to take off the glasses! Souma: I see, if I switch with Sword-san... --- Page 19 Nanami: Huh? Nanami: Huh.... I can't take them off... Souma: Eeeeeeeh!? Nanami: Mizuno-san, what's the meaning of this? Mizuno: Umm... it's probably because we tried to take them off by force with that spell earlier... (Souma: Meaning... that...) --- Page 20 Aizawa: All right then, ready yourself! Amano Soumaa!! Souma: I have to fight like this? No... way.... Kanna: This might be hopeless... Nanami: Don't be so irresponsible!!
