Ichika, so...
were you lonely without me?
...cook me some, right?
You’re the worst!
That'd really hurt should I get hit.

Decisive Battle! The Class League Match
You beat my first attack. Not bad!
But...
Ichika...
Oh my gosh! What are you doing?
Use the Cross Grid Turn I taught you!
At this rate, I’ll just get worn down defending and lose!
Let’s get some distance first.
Gullible!
That was just a jab.
What was that attack just now?
That was a shock cannon.
It can fire shells by exerting pressure on space directly.
So that's a third generation suit just like my Blue Tears.
Good job dodging...
This Dragon Cannon’s barrel and shells are both invisible.
Not only that, but it seems her shock cannon can fire at pretty much any angle.
You mean it does not have a blind spot?
Basically yes.
Unless I take the initiative to strike, I’ll be done for!
I need to get everything together! This weapon is the one Chifuyu-nee once used!
Is Yukihira Type II all Byakushiki has for a weapon?
That was enough for me to win.
That sword is all you’ll need.
It might’ve been for you, but I’m no world contest winner...
There’s no way a novice like you will be able to handle shooting to begin with.
You need to know recoil control, trajectory prediction and range calculation,
10 abeyance, absolute turn...
You should also consider the nature of different bullets, atmospheric conditions, and mutual aftereffects depending on the opponent's armament...
There's still more. Do you think you can do it?
Sorry.
Perfecting one thing is in your best interests.
After all, you’re my little brother.
Barrier nullification attack...
Can I use it?
Rin!
What is it?
I'm for real this time!
What do you mean? That goes without saying!
In any case, I’ll show you I’m in an entirely different league!
Orimura-kun is trying to do something.
It must be Ignition Boost.
I taught him.
Ignition Boost?
It’s a surprise attack where one accelerates to top speed in a flash to approach the enemy.
He’ll be able to move in on the cadet representative as long as he uses it at the right time.
However...
It will work only once.
What?
What is this?
Did he miss the shot?
Is it an earthquake?
What... What happened?
Ichika!
The system broke!
Something must have penetrated the arena’s protective shield!
Suspend the match! Orimura, Fan, evacuate immediately!
W-What? What’s going on?
Ichika, the match’s been suspended!
Get back to the pit right now!
-Warning-
Unidentified IS detected at the center of the stage
An unidentified IS?
I got locked on?
Did the enemy lock on to me?
Ichika, to the pit, quick!
What about you?
Escape while I buy time!
Escape?
I can’t leave a girl behind!
Idiot! You’re the weaker one, so we have no choice!
It’s not like I’ll be dealing with him to the end.
The teachers should be coming soon to bring the situation under–
Watch out!
It’s a beam weapon...
And the output power is above Cecilia’s IS!
W-Wait, idiot, let me off!
Hey, don’t struggle!
Shut up, shut up, shut up!
Come on, don’t hit me!
It’s coming!
What on earth is that?
Is that even an IS?
Who are you?
Answer! Who are you?
Why are you here?
Orimura, Fan, evacuate the arena immediately!
The teachers will be present on their IS to bring the situation under control!
No. We have to hold it back until everyone else evacuates.
Y-You have a point...
B-But you shouldn’t!
Orimura-kun!
Ichika-san!
Ichika!
You fine with that, Rin?
You’re not the one to ask!
Now let me go already! I can’t move!
Oh, my bad.
That guy’s all fired up!
Sure looks like it.
Ichika!
I’ll cover you, so plunge in!
That’s all you have for your weapon, right?
Exactly.
Then let’s go with that!
Stop!
Excuse me, Orimura-kun?!
Orimura-kun, are you listening?
Fan-san, are you listening?
Since they said they’ll do it, so why don’t we just let them?
O-Orimura-sensei, this is a serious situation!
Calm down and get a cup of coffee.
Salt
Sugar
You’re getting anxious because you’re running out of sugar.
But sensei...
That’s salt.
Wh–
Ichika...
Sensei! Please give me permission to pilot my IS!
I can sortie right away!
I don't have a problem with that, but...
Look at this.
The protection shield is set to level 4...
Not to mention all doors are locked.
Did that IS do it?
Most likely.
We can neither evacuate nor go reinforce the two.
It’s locked!
Someone open it!
This one’s closed, too?!
If that is the case, request emergency reinforcement from the government!
We’re trying.
Top third-year students are executing the system clock as we speak.
All units will break in as soon as we break through the protection shield.
So we cannot but helplessly wait.
Well, you will not be in the break-in unit either way, so don’t worry.
W-What is that about?
Equipment on your Blue Tears' useful when you’re outnumbered.
They turn into a hindrance when you’re on the outnumbering side.
That is impossible!
How can I be a hindrance...
Then have you ever done team coordination training?
What’s your role in the team? How will you form the team?
How will you gauge the enemy’s forces? What about serial operation time?
I understand. Fine.
Thanks for understanding.
Ichika, now’s your chance!
Ichika, you idiot!
Aim correctly! That's the fourth miss you've made so far.
I’m aiming all right!
Oh no! I can only use barrier nullification attack about one more time.
Ichika, move away!
O-Okay.
What are we going to do?
We can’t win against him unless we have a strategy!
I don’t mind if you escape.
I’m not escaping!
I’m not a cadet representative for nothing!
I see. Then I’ll try to cover your back at least.
Thank y–
Woah!
Focus!
I-I know!
Say, Rin...
Isn’t his movement a little too mechanical?
What do you mean? IS is a machine!
You’re missing the point.
Is there really a person piloting that?
What? IS can’t move unless someone–
Now that you mention it, it tends not to attack us when we’re talking.
It’s as if it’s intently listening to our conversation...
Right?
But there can’t possibly be an unmanned suit!
IS does not move without a human pilot.
That’s the way it’s built.
Say, hypothetically, what if it were unmanned?
What?
Are you saying we can win against an unmanned suit?
Sure.
If no one’s on it, I can go full out without thinking too much.
Full out?
Reiraku Bakuya.
It’s Yukihira II’s full offensive form.
Yukihira II’s power is probably too overwhelming.
I can’t go full out at training or at a school tournament.
But if I’m against an unmanned suit, I can go full out.
Reiraku Bakuya or whatever, the problem is you can’t aim!
It’ll work this time.
You sure talk big.
Then, while it’s completely impossible,
Let’s assume that’s an unmanned suit and attack!
Good. Then shoot the shock cannon towards him when I give you the signal...
at full power.
Sure, but I’ll probably miss.
It doesn’t have to hit.
Then let’s–
Ichika!
If you’re a man...
If you’re a man, you’d better win against an enemy of that caliber!
This is bad.
Houki, run!
Rin, fire!
Got it!
Hold a sec! Idiot!
What are you doing? Get out of the way!
Whatever, just fire!
I’m not taking responsibility!
Reiraku Bakuya
Activated
Energy Conversion Rate Over 90%
I’ll...
Chifuyu-nee...
Houki...
Rin...
Everyone around me...
I’ll protect them!
Ichika!
Ichika.
Ichika!
How’s the aim?
Perfect.
Cecilia!
When did you...
Cecilia, finish it off!
Roger!
That was very close.
I knew you’d make it, Cecilia.
D-Did you?
O-Of course.
In any case, this should–
-Warning-
Reactivation of Enemy IS Confirmed
Locking on
What?
Ichika!
He’s still moving!
What are you doing?
S-So you were awake?
Why are you so agitated?
I-I’m not at agitated all!
Don’t jump to conclusions, idiot!
What happened to that IS?
It stopped working. You’re the only one who got injured, so don’t worry about that.
I see.
Say...
When we were in grade school,
we talked about sweet and sour pork in the evening like this.
What?
If I get better at cooking,
will you eat my sweet and sour pork every day?
Did that promise...
have a different meaning behind it?
I really thought you’re going to treat me to free food...
No, you’re right!
I’ll get better at cooking if someone eats it!
Though I want to try your sweet and sour pork sometime,
your father’s cooking is really good.
I’d love more of that as well.
Um, well...
We’re no longer in business.
Huh? Why?
My parents divorced.
That’s why I returned to my country.
Say, Rin...
Hm?
Let’s hang out together sometime.
What?
Is that a date?
Ichika-san! How do you feel now?
I’m here to take care of–
Huh?
Why are you here?
We agreed not to sneak in until Ichika-san woke up!
That goes for you, too.
You tried to sneak in without telling me.
T-That’s...
Get out of here, you two!
Ichika’s my childhood friend!
I’m also one!
You’re in Class 2!
Huh?
Where’s Chifuyu-nee?
Now that you mention it...
Where is she?
She was with us just now...
It is indeed an unmanned suit.
It uses an unregistered core.
I see.
There are only 467 IS cores in the world.
However, this IS was powered by yet another core.
What’s going on?
