Sword-san, what are you trying to do!? Sword: Souma, why'd you dodge? --- Page 03 Sword: As long as you have the sealing glasses, we can't switch places... If you can't take them of, I'll just have to smash them to bits, right? (Souma: Even if you say that...) Sword: The second round in the tournament is tonight. There's no time, so give up!! Nanami: Wait... Sword!! Mizuno: Buuut, if you destroy the glasses, there's a risk that Sword-san's soul might be destroyed as an effect... Sword: Really? --- Page 04 Kanna: It's OK. Sword won't appear tonight anyway. Kanna: I'll beat them all in the second round! There's no need for Souma to return to Sword!! Sword: Kanna, you think you can win without me or something? Kanna: I've made preparations for that. Leave it to me. --- Page 05 Bat-cat: Myahaha! The first step to victory is knowing your enemy, meow!!

Sword: That idiot, doing things on its fucking own again... (Father: Papa will feed it.) Nanami: Isn't that Nana, Souma's pet... I'd never have thought, is it really a Devil?

Student: And then we'll investigate the structure of your body in all detail!! Kanna: That thing... Just what data did it get? Bat-cat: Meooow! Kanna: But thanks to that, I know the power of the opponent. Now if I destroy them all the result's the same... Principal: Fight over! Winner, Kazunari Manabu of Kurogane High. Bot schools change fighter, second fighter to stage!! --- Page 15 Student: Saima-kun, you're up next. Saima: Leave it to me. Principal: It's no fun if we just do it the same way.

Kanna: We need two more wins to win the second round. Souma has the Uraankokumatoujutsu, but... Against a Devil, it would be another matter, but Mizuno against a machine... Mizuno: Please don't worry. It mustn't get to Nanami-san! Mizuno: It's not like I was just being idle while Sword-san & co were in Hell!! Kanna: Wha... --- Page 20 Kanna: What's that outfit!!
