What's wrong?

Nothing.

You know, I hate teachers.

He's out of his mind.

You three, run while you can.

You young people have a future ahead of you.

Hurry up, Shin. Let's go!

You go ahead.

If I can't fight what I'm facing now,

I can't see a future where I'm stronger!

Trying to outshine us? No fair.

I know, right?

You two...

Shit!

Damn, that hurt...

Who is he?

Why can't I read his mind?

HARD MODE

And just like that, they're in combat. I missed my chance to join, again...

Anyways... What is going on with this guy?

He's... asleep?

That can't be possible.

And the sound of...

precision machinery?

There's something odd going on here.

But even if I say something like, "Hey, everyone, he's actually asleep!"

They'd probably think I'm insane.

And it'd be embarrassing if I was wrong.

Catch!

So close!

Did someone hit him?

Me?

Might've been me.

Ouch...

My goodness. Pull yourself together!

Mr. Kashima,

I think we have a problem with the field.

What is he doing?

It looks like he's... miming?

Is this our chance?

Don't push Shinaya too much.

Speaking of...

Oh, close one.

Who is it that's over there, fighting instead of me?

He's been sleeping this whole time.

A kid we hired for the day.

We had a difficult time finding one.

A vessel that has the durability to withstand your moves

is hard to come by.

I'm surprised you found someone.

We posted an ad online!

HELP WANTED - MUST BE FLEXIBLE

Cool.

Then let's recruit comrades the same way.

Face-to-face interviews are vital, Gaku.

As he also says, talent is treasure.

Okay, okay.

Here's how I say we do it.

First, we beat all of them up,

and then, we pick up whoever's still breathing.

Shoot...

Where's Mafuyu?

If I can't fight what I'm facing now,

I can't see a future where I'm stronger!

Damn it...

Hey, let's get outta--

Screw you, Shin.

If only you'd kept your dumb thoughts to yourself...

How do they do it?

I'm always scared of making the smallest of mistakes,

petrified by that fear...

How can they all

go up against such a terrifying enemy without hesitation?

You're not getting anywhere with those legs...

Need a ride?

Yuck...

They're candidates just like me,

and they're getting crushed.

So how is it that they're so badass?

I'm... ashamed of myself.

Sorry, man.

The thing is, I'm psychic.

I'm afraid I heard

all that self-pitying stuff.

If you're gonna get embarrassed anyway,

don't you think you'll feel better

if you chose to take action?

Yeah.

I hope you're right.

I have an idea.

Will you follow mweh?

- He butchered that line... - He butchered that line...

What a big deer! Hi, good boy.

I thought it was him.

What's going on with the animals?

Shin...

I hope you're safe.

Mr. Kashima? I'm losing the left side of my view.

Gaku! Please don't break that!

It's not working...

I can't read his mind.

I believe he's being controlled remotely

and the person behind it isn't here.

What? How'd you figure that out?

From the sounds.

His goggles work as a headset.

Through it, you can hear the other side.

What? There's no way you can hear that.

Hmm.

That guy seems interesting, Mr. Kashima.

Incoming.

Just as I thought.

There's a lag in his movements.

I can dodge his attacks.

A limestone cave?

Great, sound will echo in here better.

Hey!

How were you able to dodge that attack?

What do you mean by "lag"?

Did I... say all that out loud?

I told you, I'm psychic!

I can hear what you're saying in your head!

What the heck?

- That's absolutely embarrassing! - Focus on what's important!

It's very likely

that Shinaya's equipment has one critical flaw.

That's the lag.

What do you mean?

I can hear the slight sounds leaking through Shinaya's headset.

After I hear the sound of the real enemy throwing a punch,

there's about 0.5 seconds until Shinaya moves.

By listening to that little lag in sound,

I'm able to guess his next move.

Still, dodging his attacks is the best I can do alone.

- But if you work with me-- - Huh?

But I can't hear...

You're psychic, aren't you?!

Right, of course.

- If I read your mind... - Exactly.

Together, we can fight him!

Stepping in, straight punch.

What are you doing?!

Listen and follow my thoughts!

It won't work.

By the time Kaji puts what he heard into words, it's too late.

Get ready.

I need more--

Aw, come on!

I thought he'd counter me.

Shit, this isn't working!

What are we going to do?

That was a really hard blow.

I can't even move.

I feel like I've been in this situation before...

That time,

I couldn't see because of the poison,

so Mr. Sakamoto predicted my opponents' moves

and guided me using his internal thoughts.

Come to think of it,

it's another example of how incredible he is.

If only Kaji were more like Mr. Sakamoto,

and could tell me a bit earlier...

That's not how I should be thinking.

Five minutes a day is your limit for using precognition.

If you overuse it...

Well, it's your funeral.

How pathetic am I to be waiting for instructions?

I gotta be proactive.

It's time to push my limit!

Now we're talkin'.

I'll use my power to see Kaji's future.

My vision is blurring...

Damn it.

I don't know how long I'll last...

Mr. Kashima,

would you mind holding this for a bit?

Gaku...

Oh yeah.

Now I'm having fun.

Hey.

Buy me some time.

What?!

Hey!

Hey, Kaji!

- How dare you slack off while-- - I memorized it.

Huh?

His sounds.

That move...

That's me.

All of your sounds...

are now mine.

Just by listening,

he's replicated another person's attack with incredible precision.

I almost forgot that, like Toramaru,

he's a special recommendation!

Wait a second.

If you could do that, why didn't you start off with that?!

It requires a lot of focus.

I got the chance thanks to you, keeping him occupied...

Sound, you say?

How foolish.

We can play some music, and his abilities will--

No thanks, Mr. Kashima.

The songs you listen to kill my vibe.

What?!

I realized it at karaoke the other day.

You have bad taste.

How dare you say that about my Best Songs of the Heisei Era CD!

Besides,

the party's just getting started.

Why end it?

We're closing in on him!

Is he going to retreat?

No, he can't.

Can't you tell by the echo from the other side?

He has a limited area to move.

If he takes one step back to his right...

he'll hit a wall.

Think again.

I thought you might do that!

After impact to the wall,

his movement will stop for a moment.

Sorry, Mr. Kashima.

I'm gonna break Shinaya.

Oh no!

Gaku, stop right now!

Kaji!

Now, of all times?

It's over.

We can't win...

Mr. Sakamoto?

Are you alright, Shin?

This guy, I know for sure.

Taro... Sakamoto...

Why is he there?

- Gaku, he-- - Used to be a legendary hitman, right?

I saw him at the JAA the other day.

I've been wanting to fight him...

or kill him.

You're the one who did this?

Shin, get out of here and take him with you.

Like always, I'm--

No, that came out wrong...

Let's divide and conquer.

Yes, sir!

An underground river!

Mr. Sakamoto!

What are you doing?

Swimmin'.

The airplane from our flight here...

I can't move.

Anyone who harms my friends...

deserves to be deported!

I see why Boss is concerned about him.

We definitely should kill him off,

or things could get messy later on.

Where's he gonna show up?

Oh well.

Thanks for the fun.

It's so bright.
