Taku...

Do you think Nomi could be a Burst Linker?

That last strike was so quick, wasn't it?

It looked like he accelerated, so I did too,

but there were no names on the match list.

You're still eating that crap!

How many times have I told you to learn how to cook?

But I did cook it—

You took it out of a box and heated it up.

I served it on a plate...

How could you call that cooking?

I knew this would happen.

So I got my mom to make lasagna!

Grovel at my feet!

But you didn't make it yourself either.

What was that?

Nothing. Bon appetit!

That was great.

Your mom should open a restaurant.

Nah, when she's not cooking for my dad, she only puts in about half as much effort.

That was half as much effort?

No, this is her at about 95 percent.

She knew she was cooking for my potential future husband.

Gyaah! What am I saying?! Take that!

Through an endless sky we fly

guided by invisible wings

Far in the distance the future awaits us

though as yet we cannot see it

Why have I already awoken?

Day and night pass by too fast

We live our lives engulfed by hazy darkness and knowing it

The day I found you a wind blew that changed it all

A trembling passion

Everything was part of a process that led me to you

Slowly opening up my eyes within the blackness

I can feel how the future will be from far away

and want it to send my heart racing

It's unlimited

It's unlimited

If I can believe in myself again

I will awaken to the light

because you believed in me and now you are here

Never let me go

I'll never lose my way

Here we make a new world

and I'll be proud of the wounds it took

So we smash gravity

Really? Nomi is a Burst Linker?

He wasn't on the match list, but it definitely

looked like he accelerated during our match.

Now that you mention it, the way he dodged really

made it seem like he knew when you'd attack next.

It was actually more like he moved his real body while he accelerated...

Physical Full Burst...

What's that?

A forbidden ability, only usable by Level 9 linkers.

You use up 99 percent of your points, but

you can move your real body 100 times faster.

100 times?

But there are only seven people who've reached Level 9,

and why would he be here to begin with?

Even if he was Level 9,

why would he risk using nearly all his points just for a practice match?

That probably wasn't a Physical Full Burst, but one step below it.

Oh? What's that?

Physical Burst.

No way!

Your body doesn't accelerate, but {you think 10 times

faster.}{this should probably be checked}your cognitive ability improves tenfold.

It lasts for three seconds.

If you use that...

Dodging your opponent's attacks in a fight or

hitting a home run in baseball becomes easy.

And of course you can get great results in kendo.

It's all as easy as pie.

Just like I used to do...

Taku?

Nomi Seiji is just like how I was a year ago.

So I have no right to complain about losing to him...

That's wrong! You're not the same!

Chiyu...

You wanted to win the matches for me, right?

Whenever you won you'd always turn and wave at me straight away.

True.

But he's different. That Nomi kid is just fighting for himself.

After he won, he just seemed to scoff.

So he's not like you, Taku!

Right. And you're not like you were before.

Anyway, we have to find a way to break

through his shield on the matching list and...

thrash him in a duel!

That's right! Because no matter how badly you

get beaten up, I'll just keep on healing you.

Thank you...

I'll find out about Nomi somehow during kendo club.

Good job, Silver Crow, Cyan Pile.

You too.

Sorry I have to go, but I'm in the middle of a break in kendo club.

Enjoy your trip to Okinawa tomorrow, Master.

He's really into his kendo club.

Yeah.

Actually, about that kendo club...

Where there's a will, there's a way

Something wrong?

I just wanted to find out the secret to how you're so good.

I just got lucky last time.

No, the way you moved was really quite extraordinary.

You're pretty special yourself.

I heard rumors about you. About how amazing you were.

Although, that was when you were at your previous school.

If you fought your hardest like you used to at your other school,

I'd probably be no match for you.

Are you sure? That freshman Nomi accelerated during a match?

We can't prove it. And there was no name on the matching list.

It's probably being masked by some illicit program.

However, even if he did, what was he after?

We'll have to break through that masking program

and ask him when we challenge him to a duel.

I guess so.

As Burst Linkers, everything starts with a duel.

I'd like to fight him first, but I'll be leaving for a week starting tomorrow.

Should I fake an illness and stay?

No, you mustn't do that!

It's a school trip. We'll deal with Nomi somehow.

Okay then. But don't do anything crazy.

I'll be careful.

Of course, now you know about the existence of the Physical Burst command.

I won't tell you not to use it, but I will say that using it

to become a sports star is prohibited by the Nega Nebulous.

I won't use it!

Rather than spending five points for just three seconds,

I'd rather spend 10 points to dive into the field with no limits.

By the way, did you decide what you want from Okinawa?

Well, it wouldn't be fair to ask you for anything bulky.

If you just show me all the videos you record...

What? That's all you want?

Well, to be honest, videos of you.

To be more precise, high-resolution videos of you in bikinis and stuff.

Transmitted to me over a short cable.

Okay, I'll record lots of videos and send them to you.

Videos of all the Okinawan food I eat on the trip.

I didn't think she'd really send them.

Why couldn't I have been in the same grade as her?

Voice mail? Is it Snow Black?

Morning, Haru.

Oh it's just Taku.

Sorry to take so long to tell you about Nomi.

I wanted to connect to his neuro-linker and

check if he had the Brain Burst program, but...

I didn't get a chance to.

But I did discover something.

I found another student called Nomi Yuichi, who's

three years older than us, in the graduation album.

It's probably his brother.

If Nomi is a Burst Linker, his brother might be his guardian.

Seems slow...

A graduate three years older than us?

But I've never heard of any Burst Linkers in our school

who are older than Snow Black.

Are you really a Burst Linker?

Kendo Club

Hey, Nomi!

We're not finished yet!

Hey!

You punk! Don't get all cocky just because you made the team!

A kendo club member should know to never throw their fencing sword.

That's probably why you can't make the team!

He just accelerated.

There's no doubt about it. Nomi is a Burst Linker.

I just have to get some proof of it.

Shower room.

My chance to get some proof...

A neuro-linker.

If I link to this, I can check for the Brain Burst program.

Huh?

Is this...

Chiyu?!

Accel World

Haru. What are you doing in the girls' showers?

The girls' showers? No way... I was sure I...

Haru!

I'm worn out.

I'm exhausted.

I'm starving.

Me too.

Do you want to grab a bite after?

Sure.

Stay still and don't say anything!

I'm so sweaty.

I want to wear my summer gear.

You'll be expelled if they find you.

How did this happen?

I was sure I...

Ladies Ladies Ladies Ladies Ladies Ladies Ladies Ladies Ladies Ladies Ladies Gentlemen Ladies

Gentlemen Ladies Gentlemen Ladies Gentlemen Gentlemen Gentlemen Gentlemen Gentlemen Gentlemen

Gentlemen Gentlemen Gentlemen Gentlemen Gentlemen Gentlemen Gentlemen

Oh no, was it electron visual masking?

What's that?

Overwriting someone's visual field via their neuro-linker.

For instance, switching the signs for the girls' and boys' showers.

Nomi set a trap for me.

Chiyu, you're still in there?

Yeah, I got really sweaty today.

I know. The teachers are pushing us pretty hard

because we've got the district qualifiers coming up.

But isn't your water too hot, Chiyu? Look at all that steam!

I love it hot. It's better for your circulation too.

Shut up! You sound like my grandma!

Sorry, please forgive me. I was being stupid.

Now's your chance.

Go.

I'm sorry. Forgive me. I feel terrible. I'm really sorry.

You're picturing me, aren't you?

No, I'm not. Not at all!

But that electron visual thingy, when did he do it?

I don't know.

It's just a game, but everyone's acting crazy. It's ridiculous.

Brain Burst is a game, but it's more than that.

People like Nomi who use it to gain status in the real world

would do anything to protect their power.

Haru, I don't like this.

I think I've made a mistake.

Even though it's a game, you, Taku, and Nomi don't seem to be having fun at all.

That's not true!

At the very least I've changed thanks to Brain Burst.

It allowed Taku and me to have a real heart-to-heart and...

I think I've become a little less cowardly too.

I guess that's true.

If the old you had seen me naked, you'd've avoided

me for a month and wouldn't've apologized, right?

I'm really, really sorry. Please forgive me!

Forget it. It's over now.

But don't tell Taku about it, or I really will kill you.

Huh? Taku?

And I'll tell Snow Black.

About you being a peeping tom.

What's wrong?

Huh?

You've been acting strange since this morning.

Have I?

Well, actually...

What is it? What happened?

It's just... my tummy's been feeling funny all morning.

I'm off to the bathroom.

During the next break, please come to the quad alone.

Is this the place?

Game over, Arita. I mean, Silver Crow.

Victory. I win.

Nobody's won anything.

We haven't even fought each other yet,

because you've done something to conceal your name on the matching list.

There's no need for a silly duel,

as long as I have this.

Don't worry. There are no viruses in this photo.

Photo?

There was a visual masking virus in it?

I implanted a program to mess with your visual field in the name tag.

Although, Mayuzumi didn't seem to notice it at all. Scanning...

You! How did you take that?

I went retro!

I set this up in that room.

Well, it was actually one of ten traps.

Who would've thought this long shot would be the one to catch you?

Unbelievable...

Are you that desperate to get rid of Silver Crow?

Are you planning to get me expelled?

Of course not!

How would getting you expelled benefit me?

I just want to improve my school life...

by making you my loyal and hard-working dog.

A clever dog that gives me Burst Points to use every day.

I won't let you do that!

I summoned Haru to the girls' shower room.

I'll testify to that if you make that video public.

I'll say it was because I sprained my ankle and couldn't walk.

Chiyu.

That's good. Very nice, Kurashima.

For a brand spanking new Burst Linker...

Stop trying to act tough.

Your video won't be of any use now.

I'm not so sure about that.

What if...

a hidden camera like this was found in the girls' shower room, as we speak?

What then?

There'd be a huge commotion and a manhunt for the culprit.

If I then uploaded that video onto the local net,

would you still be able to cover for Arita then, Kurashima?

You'd really be willing to go that far?

Umesato Junior High.

Effective immediately, all students are

forbidden from entering the area indicated here.

It seems they've found the camera at last.

Makes sense, since I turned the shutter sound on this time.

Are you crazy?

You're going through all this trouble just for a game.

Actually, I want to ask you a question, Kurashima.

Do you honestly believe that Brain Burst is just a game?

{Please don't ever be rude to me

again.}Please show me the respect I deserve.

You'll have to obey me as well, won't you now?

I'm going to make you my special pet.

Whenever I duel, make sure you're in the gallery and support me.

But don't worry,

I'm not going to make you do anything in the real world.

At least not for the time being.

You little...

Who said you could move?

I told you, didn't I? It's game over.

Sit there quietly please, doggy.

I mean, senior.

You bastard!

Physical Burst!

I shouldn't be doing this.

But I can't let this guy,

Nomi, get away with this.

Not to mention he threatened me and Chiyu!

A feint?

Haru!

Ah, you're no good at this, Arita.

You should have realized that fights in the physically accelerated state are...

all about using anticipation and feints.

I don't think I even needed to use that command with you.

I wasted five points.

We've still got three minutes before the next lesson.

Should be plenty of time.

As requested I'll fight you in a duel, Arita.

Burst Link.

I held out my hands, yet my dreams were farther

as I looked up to the Heavens and understood nothing

I was looking, yearning for an answer

yet pretended I'd given up caring about it

I used to be alone and had what my future meant down wrong

There's no denying it

All you have is so warm

since all of it is true love and true tenderness

All you think fascinates me

since all of it are true feelings and true strength

I want to tell you of my love

Next time, "Destruction."

Haruyuki is challenged to a fight.

Nomi's dark powers threaten to destroy everything.
