MS Colosseum...
Aoi Mizusawa Ren Homura
Hello, MS Colosseum.
We've got some exciting slingshot action!
– Awesome! – The battle's
– How does this work? – just beginning!
– The MS app on the smartphone – We're just getting started!
– is synced to the 4D-AR system. – Everyone excited?!
4D-AR?
4D-AR is... the latest augmented reality system.
And... that's how they give monsters form.
Monsters are loaded with artificial intelligence, I think.
You know, I'm not really good with these things.
Yeah, I think you've gotten that point across.
So you mean the door to the monster world's opened?
I think it's safe to assume so.
4D-AR is amazing.
It's super realistic.
I'm different!
You're the real thing!
Could you please stop blushing?
An entry request.
Oh, me too.
– What's this? – If you accept,
you can play MS with a team out there.
Really? What are we waiting for?
Unlike yesterday, it's safe to play here, right?
That's true,
– but we can't right now. – Why not?
Playing in a team of four gives you an advantage in MS.
Even if we enter, two of us won't cut it.
Still, can't we just try?
No!
– Really? – Yes, really.
It's pointless unless we do our best.
I made a decision
that if I returned to MS,
it would be with a team of four.
Then we'd aim for the pinnacle!
You're all in.
For me, MS was something to be gung ho and passionate about.
Kind of like a sport.
In elementary school, I was totally into swimming.
But after I got into junior high
and started MS,
I ended up always playing with my team.
It was me, Akira Kagetsuki,
Minami Wakaba, and our leader, Haruma.
But after Haruma transferred schools, and it was only the three of us...
We stopped meeting up,
and even stopped playing MS.
But, you know,
– my feelings changed yesterday. – Really?
Just in case Haruma came back,
I held onto that Strike Ring.
When I tossed you the ring, it wasn't spontaneous.
It just felt right.
After I saw you giving it your all,
it really made me want to play again!
I–I see.
That's when I knew that this is what I'd been searching for.
It's nice to swim alone,
but what I really want is to play as a team again!
It was tucked away in my room before, but I'm wearing it now!
So, Ren, let's invite Akira and Minami, form a team,
then return here and compete!
– And win. – Yeah!
Sorry to burst your bubble,
but wasn't Akira upset to see Haruma's ring on Ren?
Why are you wearing that ring?
A team is not possible.
Nobody can replace Haruma.
I–It's okay. I bet Akira's itching to play again!
He'll definitely be in!
– Let's try talking to him. – Let's!
It's also been bugging me
how monsters are appearing outside the Colosseum.
– Yeah. – Man, that was crazy.
Imagine a person standing smack-dab in the middle of that battlefield.
I mean, I was about to die...
It's amazing that you didn't get hurt at all.
It's happening more frequently,
players getting attacked outside the Colosseum.
This way.
You can walk through here at night?
It's not really allowed, but it's a shortcut.
Look! A slide.
So this is where it exits.
What?
Start the stage.
Strike!
To be continued!
Challenge the Spell of Freedom!
