Th-This is...!
Target 161 Airbike
A motorcycle?!
But it doesn't have any tires.
This machine looks like something out of a sci-fi flick.
But the rumbling sound is awesome.
What is this?
This is part of the Vongola Collection, the airbike.
Airbike?
Vongola Collection?
So this belongs to the current boss?
Yes, that's right.
The current boss gathered a large variety of items in preparation for different situations.
His collection ranges from boats to planes.
He applied the idea of preparing for the worst
and accumulated these items in the event that the Vongola Family was placed in danger.
I believe that this is the time to utilize the Vongola Collection!
Way to go, boss!
You planned for every contingency!
Uh, you shouldn't praise the present me...
Pretty hard to imagine, when you look at this Tsuna.
Well, who cares?
I'll be happy to use it.
You should have told us about these to begin with.
Yes, I'm ashamed of myself.
I'd completely forgotten about them.
And I was absorbed in building a new machine!
This should certainly solve the problem of mobility.
But there aren't any tires...
How do we use it?
Simple! It hovers in the air as it moves.
You hover in the air?
On a bike?
Yes.
Allow me to give you a simple explanation.
Wow! It's really floating.
Highly-pressurized air shoots out of the nozzles to lift the entire vehicle.
Aerial movement also utilizes pressurized air.
So the same principle as a hovercraft.
Precisely.
The body was made from nano-carbon ceramic to keep it extremely light.
It weighs 30% of what a normal motorcycle would.
At the same time, it can endure 60% more stress.
Yeah, I don't get it.
Still, even if the structure is light, a motorcycle is no hovercraft.
You'd need a pretty strong engine to make it fly with this body shape.
You know your stuff!
That would be this airbike's greatest secret!
The engine's been modified.
It runs on charged Deathperation Flames.
Deathperation Flames?!
A considerable amount of energy is required to support the power needed to hover.
In that respect, Deathperation Flames are more than sufficient.
And if Tsuna and his crew are the riders,
they'll be able to refuel anytime, anywhere.
The cowl and engine cover are made of the same material as a Mammon Chain.
It won't show up on any radar that detects Deathperation Flames.
It's like these things were made for us to ride them.
We don't know what kind of obstacles we'll face when fighting in the city.
With its ability to make tight turns, a motorcycle is definitely the best choice.
We'll have enough of these machines for each of you by tomorrow morning.
I'll lend you a hand.
Listen up, guys.
You'll need to master these before Choice begins.
N-Now, hold on!
I don't know how to ride a motorcycle.
You just have to practice.
Easy for you to say!
I can barely ride a bicycle,
and I'm bad with fast vehicles...
You have no choice but to ride this.
If you want to survive in the fight with Byakuran.
So you say...
The rest of us aside,
doesn't the boss already possess magnificent mobility that lets him fly through the sky?
That's true.
Tsuna can just fly the way he usually does?
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Wh-What is it?
It's a basic rule of combat to hide your presence from the enemy.
The Deathperation Flames emitted by the boss's gloves will be detected by their radar.
It's vital to have a method of transportation which can't be detected.
I see.
There you have it. So Tsuna, get on.
Huh?! Now?!
I don't wanna!
I can't ride a machine I've never seen before!
Most men would be happy if they were told to ride a machine like this.
No wonder they call you Loser Tsuna.
B-But...
You won't accomplish anything by worrying before you even try.
But...
Don't think. Feel.
Please use this extra-large training room.
It's as big as a driver's education facility, so you can practice at ease.
At ease...?
You've got this, boss.
Lookin' good, Tsuna.
R-Really...?
Let's start.
First, try using your right hand to crank the throttle.
A-All right...
Continue by pressing the red switch on the handle.
U-Uh...
Oh, this.
Wh-Whoa?!
Don't panic!
You're fine in that position!
E-Easy for you to say!
Okay, keep your left hand on the clutch while using your left foot to shift gears.
Huh? Like this?
Use your right hand to turn the throttle.
Huh?
T-Turn the throttle...?
Now, release the clutch!
B-Boss!
You okay, Tsuna?
Reborn-san!
Why are you teaching him wrong?
If you abruptly release the clutch...
It's better to teach him fear first.
That's how I roll.
He's incredible...
And wait, what if the precious motorcycle was busted?!
So? Was it fun, Tsuna?
Obviously not.
Well, get used to it.
Hey... I'll be honest.
I couldn't ride a bicycle without training wheels until fifth grade.
So what?
My point is...
I clearly have no chance of learning to ride a motorcycle!
Bicycles and motorcycles are completely different.
More importantly, you never know what hidden talents a person may have.
He's completely set on making me do this!
Okay, everybody else give it a try.
Whoa! This is rough.
Crap!
The motorcycle!
Extreme!
It's gonna break!
Heh, this is easy.
Not bad.
Gokudera-kun really knows what he's doing.
Phew...
Multi-cornering!
The machine is crying...
Ow...
Are you okay, boss?
Yeah, more or less, I guess.
Just spit on those scratches and it'll be fine.
The boss isn't like you.
I can't believe you're not hurt after flying straight into the wall.
I've trained a lot more than the rest of you!
Man, I'm going to be making frequent visits to the infirmary.
How depressing.
This will take all night.
But we'll have them finished by morning.
Yes, let's work hard.
We need to adjust the output of the nozzle controlling posture for tighter turns...
I don't know what to do...
You want to race me?
Sounds like fun.
Well done, Master Gokudera.
This is a piece of cake.
Gokudera-san, okay.
Master Gokudera, an excellent job.
Of course! I was up all night memorizing the manual.
Just by reading the manual?
Theory trumps all.
You're not bad yourself.
I was trained in CEDEF.
It looks like Gokudera and Basil will be fine.
And the machines are completely finished.
What a relief...
Now I can watch without having to worry.
It's too early to say that.
Full throttle, right off the bat?
His lack of fear is one of his better traits.
That's too dangerous!
You're going too fast!
Please slow down!
Sasagawa-san!
What?!
It's too loud for me to hear anything!
Too much speed!
What about speed?
Th-The wall...
Please turn!
Hurry!
I don't know how to turn!
Another all-nighter for repairs...
That's not a problem.
It most certainly is!
We should've trained them on simulators before riding the airbikes...
It's fine.
Ryohei's the type who learns by doing.
But...
Teaching isn't as effective as hands-on experience.
Don't think. Feel.
You'll master a motorcycle more quickly when you can feel the wind on your skin.
See? I told you.
Yes, well...
I didn't expect him to make so much progress in one day.
His reflexes, and how quickly he reacts before accidents, are both off the charts.
What you'd find in a professional racer, actually.
Well, yeah. Yamamoto is the Vongola's top athlete.
On the other hand...
He's still failing.
This time for sure...
Once I'm hovering, turn the throttle...
Where's everybody going?
We're biking to the river.
Oh! I'll come with you.
Only if you ditch the training wheels.
That won't happen.
He's the only one in fourth grade who can't ride a bike.
Of course. He's Loser Tsuna.
Fails at everything he does...
Loser Tsuna!
Boss! Hang in there!
Boss!
You okay, Tsuna?
Y-Yeah...
You're so pathetic.
Reborn, I really shouldn't...
Did you try everything you could before you started thinking about stupid stuff?
What happened to your face?
I ran into a wall on a bike.
What?!
Eek?!
B-Bike?!
Uh...
They're testing out these new bicycles I invented.
Oh, a bicycle.
So not a motorbike, but a bicycle.
Lambo-san goes vroom-vroom on his tricycle!
Geez, Lambo.
Lambo-kun, be careful.
But you're covered in scratches...
It must be quite difficult to ride.
Yeah, since it suddenly starts floating...
Floating?
Turf top here just rode straight into the wall like a moron.
What was that, Octopus head?!
Most people would turn before they slammed into a wall.
I don't like to turn!
That's not the issue here!
Still, it's pretty fun.
Indeed, the more accustomed I become to riding it, the more enjoyable it is.
Isn't that nice, Tsuna-san?
Huh?
Let me ride on the back next time.
Oh... Uh...
Why not? Though who knows how long that'll take.
I have to do something about this...
You're falling behind, Turf top!
I won't lose!
How's that, Octopus head?!
Y-You fool! Look ahead!
Extreme drift!
A-Amazing...
Sweet moves, Senpai!
Extreme drift!
That's so dangerous!
He finally learned how to turn.
Boost the rear frame to endure 30% more stress...
I'm the only one left again...
Oh.
Ah, Tsuna-san...
What's wrong?
Oh... I wanted to get some water.
I see. Please have a seat then.
Tsuna-kun.
Oh, it's okay.
I have to get back as soon as I'm done with my drink.
You're sure working hard.
I guess...
What are you doing?
Oh, this?
It's for Chrome-chan.
It's a cooking starter book.
Thanks.
Cooking starter book?
A book that teaches cooking for beginners.
Chrome-chan seems to be interested in cooking,
so we want to help as much as we can.
This is amazing. It even has illustrations.
It must've taken you a while.
Nope.
Over half the information was initially for us.
Huh?
I knew the difference between cutting chunks and strips,
but I knew nothing about shaving or doing a chateau cut.
There were many things we couldn't do at first.
But we worked hard so everybody could eat good meals.
Yes!
We did our best to learn step-by-step.
And now, we've become fairly good at cooking.
We nicked our fingers a lot in the beginning,
but now that we've had lots of practice we're not as bad.
Thanks, you two.
I've realized that I can't give up.
I'll keep trying!
What was that about?
S-Stupid...
One more time...
Are you okay, boss?
Gokudera-kun?
Why are you here?
Don't be a loner and practice by yourself, Tsuna.
I'll train with you!
Yamamoto... Ryohei...
Get on.
Come on, boss.
Okay.
Ready, boss?
Start by turning the throttle about fifteen degrees.
Three notches as the output increases.
Here comes Gokudera-kun's theoretic explanations...
Forget the details, just go "pbbbb" while you "vroom-vrooom-eee," and turn!
And Yamamoto with his weird advice...
You need guts!
That's right!
Extreme guts!
And Ryohei's spiritual philosophy...!
Fool! You can't ride a bike on guts!
It's all about feeling. Feeling.
No! It all comes down to guts!
They're all trying to help me...
That cheers me up.
So give it a shot.
Vroom-vroom.
Take it to the extreme!
Yeah, I'll definitely learn how to ride this thing.
Here I go!
Looking good, boss.
Go, Sawada!
Now accelerate slowly!
Don't forget about balance! Balance!
I-I did it!
I'm riding!
You did it, Tsuna.
Huh?
Reborn...
You did a good job.
Yeah...
But I'm not as good as the other guys yet.
For someone who couldn't ride a bicycle until fourth grade,
learning how to ride a motorcycle in a few days is impressive.
True...
This is the first time I've learned something so quickly.
Thanks, guys!
You still have a ways to go.
Ciao-su.
And now for the horoscope segment I'm sure you've all missed.

Here are the top three.
First, in third place:
Leo Your lucky number is 8!
Leo.
All right!
I'll eat a bunch of snacks and win more!
Next, in second place:

Gemini.
All the grape candy will be Lambo-san's!
And finally, in first place:
Sagittarius Your dreams will come true and you'll be happy!

I-I'm happy.
But my luck isn't going to run out now, is it?
Ow...
