At Miyagami Private Academy,
there is a group of beautiful girls,
who have power and authority on par with the faculty members.

The Best Card Battle
Hey, Ayu-chan, there's something I've totally, TOTALLY had on my mind!
Can I ask you about it?
What is it?
Where does the Best Student Council get its budget from?
Oh yeah, I've been wondering about that myself!
What makes you ask that all of a sudden?
Because Mayura is always...
We don't have the budget!
...and all, but on the other hand,
the Best dormitory is pretty luxurious...
Maachi's cooking is excellent...
We have vehicles and stuff...
Not to mention they chartered an expensive cruise ship just to practice swimming and...
had the money to fix the Best dorm even after it was totaled.
Obviously they have so much money that the treasurer chick
shouldn't have to worry about a thing.
It's hard to believe all of that is paid out of the school budget.
Tell me what's really going on.
I see. I get it...
Well then, I guess I'll let you in on a little secret.
The truth is that Miyagami Academy not only runs this school,
but also manages a few businesses on the side.
Businesses?
That's right. It runs stuff like a sports club,
and also deals with health food, real estate, and even the stock market.
Gathering information about economic matters is handled by us, the Covert Squad!
That IS what we do best.
Part of the revenue becomes the Best Student Council's budget.
Wow, that's cool!
Students shouldn't be doing all that!
Actually they do other things, too!
This, for example!
Cards?
BEST
Cards?
Yup!
They also market Best Student Council trading cards!
FYI, I, Minamo Katsura, am in charge of planning and development!
They're so popular!
I've heard that they're also the in-thing at other schools, too, not just Miyagami Academy!
I see.
That's why the treasurer chick has been looking so happy lately, huh?
Exactly!
But when did people start getting into those cards?
What are you talking about, Rino?
Everyone's playing with them right now, as we speak!
Huh?
Four-card Assault!
Oh, no! My hit points are gone!
Mayura Mayura
I've got two Mayuras, which doubles my budget!
Oh yeah?
Cyndi
Car
I've got Cyndi and The Car, which gives me high-speed movement!
Oh no, you got away!
You're right...
I see. They're trading cards that you can also play games with.
No wonder they're so popular.
There is that, but I think the reason everyone plays is because of the rare cards.
Rare cards?
Miss Kanade's card is an especially cool one!
It's a super rare card that can block any attack and defeat any opponent in a single shot!
Kanade
It's a super rare card that can block any attack and defeat any opponent in a single shot!
On top of that, the picture on the card was taken by a professional cameraman!
It's so rare, that even I don't have a copy,
and I'm a member of the Covert Squad for crying out loud!
I see... That sounds cool. I want a Miss Kanade card, too!
Bummer! I've got another Rino card!
Huh? Me? Bummer! I've got another Rino card!
Huh? Me?
Shoot! Me, too!
Rino's card is the worst!
Totally! This piece of garbage has ZERO academic and attack points!
It's so pointless to even make a card like that!
It's almost like having a trap card in the game!
Jeez, the Rino card is so useless.
Useless
Rino is so useless!
Useless
Rino is so useless!
Useless
Rino is so useless!
Useless
Rino is so useless!
Ayu-chan! I've been labeled a loser not only in real life, but in the game world, too!
Don't worry! Here, look!
Huh?
Rino
Pucchan
Huh?
If you play the Rino card and a Pucchan card at the same time,
Triple the Attack Power
you can triple the attack power!
Rino
Pucchan
Really?! That's great!
Hey, wait a second. Rino's attack power is zero, right?
Then it's still zero even if it's tripled.
Uh, well now that you mention it...
I'm a big loser after all!
FYI, if you play my card and the puppet card together,
Kaori
Pucchan
FYI, if you play my card and the puppet card together,
the attack power increases by 10 times!
10 Times
the attack power increases by 10 times!
Kaori
Pucchan
Is that right?
Yeah, but it's way too strong!
It totally destroys any sense of balance in the game!
Well, I guess I couldn't argue if you said it makes sense, though.
Ayu-chan, she just rubbed salt into the wound!
H-Hey, Rino!
Useless
H-Hey, Rino!
Jeez, Rino is so useless!
Useless
Jeez, Rino is so useless!
Useless
Jeez, Rino is so useless!
Useless
Jeez, Rino is so useless!
Useless
Jeez, Rino is so useless!
What's with you? Don't be so depressed just because your card is so weak.
But...
Minamo! Katsura! Minamo Katsura!
Huh?
What were you thinking? What did you do it for? Why did you do it?
How come my card loses half its powers when an opponent uses the snack card against it?
But that's like in real life, isn't it?
And my card becomes unable to fight when the glasses card is drawn.
But that's also like in real life, isn't it?
This is bad, Rein! I can't deny her!
Then just shut up, Sayuri!
The snack card is one thing, but I just don't understand
why my abilities are the lowest of all the Assault Squad member cards!
You're the one who's designed this game, right?
I want you to change, fix and re-do the setting right now!
If you don't...
Help me, big sis!
Come on now, Rein, just calm down. Help me, big sis!
Come on now, Rein, just calm down.
But!
Listen, the numbers on the cards are decided according to each individual's
physical and academic abilities, so...
Is that true?
If the abilities on the cards are based on real-life data...
then the reason the attributes on my card are so low is... because...
You're an honest-to-goodness LOSER!
R-Rino, there's nothing you can do about it!
It just can't be helped so you have to get over it!
Right, it's better to accept the truth for what it is.
Good grief, what a drama.
I don't see why everyone has to fuss over the numbers on some cards.
By the way, the abilities on your card are top-class
both in attack power and academic level.
I-I see...
Well, after all I AM the top member of the Assault Squad
as well as Vice President of the student council.
And if an opponent uses this Pilotto card,
your attack power goes down tremendously.
MINAMO!
Recall all cards! Recall them all! Recall them all!
Huh? Why?!
Pucchan
So cute.
I see. I've got the general view of the situation.
Miss President, the contents of these cards
comes into serious conflict with individual privacy!
As Vice President, I propose a recall of the cards.
It's all the truth, so there's nothing for you to be ashamed of!
Shut up, Minamo!
You don't have to recall it,
but I do want the abilities on my card to changed, fixed and re-done!
Ditto.
I want my card to be usable at least...
But you do know that the Best Student Council trading cards
are very popular among the students.
As the treasurer, I would like to see this continue, since it helps with the budget.
Beside, everyone's frustrations might boil over if we recall the cards.
Right, right!
They're wonderful!
Miss President, please approve the recall of the cards!
As the head of the Covert Squad, I'd like to see things remain as they are.
Very well. If the trading cards are the cause of the problem,
then why don't we settle it with the trading cards?
You're saying that...
The side who wins a trading card game will have their request granted.
Fair and square.
Without any further trouble.
This is basically a duel.
Strategy Meeting In Progress
I'd like to start the strategy meeting now.
Everyone, we must win the card game
and recall the cards from the students, no matter what.
Otherwise...
There's the Vice President!
I already thought she was dignified and cool, but I can't believe she's into stuffed animals...
It's so different from the image that I had of her...
I'm, like, so disillusioned.
It's like, YEW!
YEWWWW
It's like, YEW!
No matter what it takes... No matter what it takes... We must win this!
But we're dealing with the Covert Squad members.
Plus they have Minamo, who actually DESIGNED the game.
So if we go up against them using some ordinary strategies,
we might end up struggling, getting beaten and losing!
You're right.
It might be difficult for us to defeat the Cover Squad with brains...
Should we just cheat them, trick them and deceive them?
No! I could never act like a coward in front of the president.
Then what do you suggest?
Now that I think about it, Pucchan, you're good at card games, right?
Remember, you used to play against my mom at lot?
I lost 100 games in a row!
I won 100 games in a row!
You used nothing but cheap-ass tricks!
I call it "strategy"!
What's with the attitude?! You wanna fight me bare-handed?!
Fine! Bring it on!
Stop it! Don't fight!
It was basically like that...
What kind of mother was she?
Sayuri, that's not important right now.
Puppet, can you make it happen for the team?
Heh, this is the first time Miss Iron-Hearted Vice President has asked me for anything.
How can I turn her down?
Pucchan!
I will show them what I'm made of.
That's what happened, so could I ask you to make the appropriate arrangements?
Understood.
Roger.
Thank you.
So when is the game scheduled for?
I'll set it for this Friday.
That's right, the showdown will be on Friday.
Wh-Why?
Why did it turn into such a big deal?
I figured we should make a school event out of it while we're at it.
Miss President!
I suppose you don't like the idea of facing hideous defeat
in front of all the other students, eh, Nanaho?
What did you say?!
Fine, Kuon! I'll do it!
Miss Vice President, look at that!
What is it?
Kaori's turned on us! Now she's our enemy, opponent and rival!
Explain yourself, Kaori!
Well, I was never really unhappy about my card, so...
You traitor!
I can't believe you, Izumi!
Jeez, what's the big deal?!
Are both sides ready?
Yes!
We're good to go!
We're ready whenever you are!
Pucchan?
I see. It looks like Nanaho has some tricks up her sleeve as well.
But we are still rock solid.
Well then, I'd like to start the first of these "duels" now!
We're counting on you, puppet!
Rino, don't make a fool of yourself, a blunder or a mistake!
Okay!
All right, let's do this, Rino! First try this as a warm-up!
Rein
All right, let's do this, Rino! First try this as a warm-up!
Play the card on the far right.
Sayuri, I'm counting on you!
Glasses card!
My glasses, glasses, glasses, glasses...
Oh no, Sayuri!
How pathetic!
That's YOUR card!
Rein
Rino, now play the card in the middle!
I'm going to increase my budget with the Mayura card!
Self-centered Cyndi card!
She ruins Student Council equipment and blows the budget!
What a disturbing game!
Crap! They're better than I thought!
Rino, now do it all in one play! Use the strongest card!
Okay!
Rein, make it happen!
Here I come!
With this card you can still attack, even if they counter you with a Snack card!
Don't underestimate the game designer!
Study card!
Oh no! It wiped out Rein who can't do factoring!
I'm spent...
No!
Well, it IS understandable...
Don't be impressed!
It's our turn to attack.
Get ready, Rino! Triple Kaori cards!
Hey, hey, ho!
Damn it, we don't have any card to counter that!
Go!
Rino, you idiot! Idiot! Idiot!
Take the cold stare of the Kuon card!
Take that! Take that! Take that!
My body is freezing!
Here's more! A double play of the Covert Squad card!
Your movement is halted!
I can't move!
Now you're unable to counterattack. Here's Nanaho card!
Now here's a combo attack with the Nanaho and Sayuri cards!
That's the game, huh?
No, not yet.
I guess that wasn't quite enough to kill her off.
Too bad, but it doesn't change the fact that we're definitely at an advantage.
That's true.
Rino, now it's our turn!
Time for a comeback!
You have to recover hit points at least!
I wish we could, but...
The only cards we have left are way too weak.
Rino
Pucchan, they're both MY cards...
It's pointless to attack with these.
I hate myself!
Don't give up just yet! You can draw one more card!
Rino, have faith in the devil's luck that you have!
Okay!
All right, let's go, Rino!
Okay!
Show them the beauty that surpasses everything!
Kanade
The Miss Kanade card!
Wh-What?!
I can't believe she drew a rare card in this situation!
Rino!
She does have the devil's luck!
Whoa...
Good! Now it's time for a comeback victory!
Take it all the way, Rino!
Is this the strength of Rino Rando?
Miss Kanade, I'm counting of you!
Let's have lots of fun!
B-Beautiful...
Oh, no! She's going to beat us!
We won!
I'd expect no less from Rino!
BUT, I do have an ace in the hole myself!
My big sis, Seina's card!
She can reset all the activities with the phrase "Just kidding!"
Just kidding!
Adieu...
No way!
What was that?!
Thanks, big sis!
Just kidding!
S-Seina...
What a horrific card...
What's the matter, Rino? It's still your turn to attack.
So play the card now.
Rino! Is it possible that she doesn't have any attack cards?
Then we have to make her recover.
Doesn't she have a Snack card or a Maachi card?
Sorry, but it's all over.
What did you say?
I'm sorry, Miss Vice President...
The only cards that I have are...
They're...
They're all MY cards!
Th-They're all Rino cards?!
How futile...
This such a bad, awful and terrible pinch!
I'm sorry... I'm sorry...
Minamo, it looks like you've beaten Pucchan and me...
Huh?
N-No way!
Wh-What is it?
Five Rino cards...
Rino's card really is meaningless.
However, there is a special rule that states
if a player draws five Rino cards, the other student council members
will be unable to ignore the sheer futility of the situation and come to the rescue.
What?
It means that all the cards belong to Rino now.
And that we cannot launch any more counterattacks.
So that means...
Basically...
You can do whatever you want to do! Go, Rino!
Sayuri's card, Izumi's card, Rein's card!
Covert Squad K
Covert Squad A
Minamo
The Covert Squad's cards and Minamo's card!
Maachi's card, Cyndi's card, Mayura's card!
Seina
Kuon
Nanaho
Seina's card, the Vice Presidents' cards!
And... and... Miss Kanade's card!
Kanade
Let's have lots of fun!
Yes!
A come-from-behind win, a triumph, a tremendous victory!
She beat us masterfully!
I agree.
She really does have the devil's luck.
But it WAS very Rino!
Well, I guess you're right.
Uh-huh!
Bummer! I lost...
Minamo...
What do you think, Rino? This game I made is pretty fun, isn't it?
Yeah, very fun!
At first, I didn't like my card because there's nothing good about it...
I'm clumsy and stupid in real life, but I learned that I'm not that worthless.
That's right, Rino.
Huh? That's right, Rino.
You're not worthless.
Maybe it's invisible and unnoticeable, but you do have many important things.
And you have us, too.
Thank you, Miss Kanade!
Well, well, well, a lot has happened, but it looks like it is OUR victory at the end.
Congratulations. As promised, all the cards will be rec...
You don't have to!
What?
I'm fine with that, too. I thought it was a fun game.
Vice President?
There's no point being the only person against it, right?
I'll support whatever the majority of the student council decides.
Thank you, Vice President.
There is no need to thank me.
Minamo, let's play again, okay?
I'm not going to lose next time!
Okay!
They made a big deal out of it,
but in the end everything's back to the way it was, huh?
But the way it was concluded
was very much in the style of the Best Student Council, don't you think?
Well, I guess you're right.
Hey, did you know it's really true that the Vice President has
a weakness for stuffed animals?
Everyone knows that already!
I thought the Vice President was so dignified and cool, but it sounds like that's not the case.
It's so different from the image that I had of her!
Totally!
Who knows, she might sleep with a stuffed animal in her arms!
Oh no, I just can't picture that!
But it sounds SO CUTE!
That's so cute!
But it sounds SO CUTE!
I should've opposed them after all...
