01x09 - The Battle at Sainokawara

[bunniefuu]

Kasubata's probably dead?

He's making me worry.

It's Urusugawa!

Let me hug you.

Kusaba...

You're not going to Kasubata, are you?

I won't let you go.

Eru Kusaba.

This woman...

She's a Landmine style
that you must never approach.

An extreme romantic.

She falls in love at first sight
with men constantly.

Then, through searching and crazy DMs,
she thoroughly analyzes their preferences.

This dangerous person understands
everything about men

and plays their "ideal woman."

Number of victims so far, 12.

Cyber Out!!

If I step on a landmine,

I can use the abilities of the men

So fast! Such a heavy attack!

Even my Sticky Love b*mb
can't withstand this masculine strength.

By the way,

once the love is mutual,
I'll suddenly lose interest.

Perhaps I'm destined to be a woman
who forever chases after others?

But that's who I am...

Eru Kusaba.

You said you wouldn't let me go.

You're just stopping reinforcements
for the captain.

Such team spirit isn't like Class 1-A.

You've got it all wrong.

Wagari is so strong.

Kasubata will surely
be defeated soon, right?

When that happens...

Kasubata, hang in there!

Urusugawa, did you bandage me?

If this continues,
Kasubata might just fall for you.

I will never allow that to happen!

Why are you such a hopeless romantic
even at a time like this?

Sticky Love b*mb!

Fly away!

Ouch...

Damn it, a lot of spiritual power
was used for cushioning.

But she should be stuck in the Sticky
Love b*mb and unable to move...

Her clothes...

And besides,

this is a place where you have
to take off your clothes, right?

Is it okay to show all your flaws?

I'll beat you up even more than last time.

You won't have a chance
to seduce Kasubata again.

I didn't seduce him!

What's so great about him?

Kasubata...

His gaze pierces people's hearts.

He's serious and manly. He's so cool.

Enishiro is kind of cool too.

It's not fair
that you're in the same class as them.

You have such bad taste.

You're always switching partners.

You didn't look like this
when you entered the school.

Did you dye your hair black
to please Kasubata?

Don't you have your own style?

Kusaba, do you have any hobbies?

What about you?

I like playing tennis.

I like tennis too.

I actually like sea cucumber salad.

I sound like an old man, don't I?
- I love sea squirts.

You changed your hobby again.

Aren't you switching boyfriends
too quickly?

It's not like you're changing
your smartphone wallpaper.

It's all part of who I am.

I'm serious about every relationship!

I just want to be honest
about my feelings.

I don't want to hear it
from a groupie like you!

Shut up!

Take this!

Surrender!

Urusugawa.

Look at this...

I laid my hands on him.

I did it with your favorite idol, Kureha.

I just wanted to scare her.

It's a good thing
I made a composite photo.

She'll be traumatized
physically and mentally.

She won't be able to fight back.

Your idol is not my type at all.

She's so arrogant
just because she comes from a rich family.

She's so annoying.

She's always throwing a tantrum.

And the teacher favors her.

Even if the world sucks,

as long as my idol exists...

As long as he still exists in this world,

that's enough for me to keep going.

The sound of Kureha playing bass pierces
deep into me, making me burn.

Sticky Love Rope.

How did she recover so quickly?

I immediately saw through
that photoshopped image!

Though I was startled for a moment.

I remember that photo was an IG post
he made alone in his bed at home

at 1:18 a.m. on March 2 last year.

What?

I've looked at that photo countless times.

And I imagined myself sleeping
in the same bed as him.

Don't underestimate my years
of chasing idols!

This... this girl is just like me...

A true fan!

Besides...

What?

What's this? Why suddenly...

My phone...

What have I done?

Young lady.

It's dangerous for a girl
to be alone at this hour.

Shall I give you a ride?

Shut up.

I'm not doing Sugar Daddy.

Sugar Dad...

Kiyomi Urusugawa.

I just went to the hospital.

Because...

She always said annoying things,
so I wished she would just die!

And then that happened...

I'm sorry...

What... what is this?

Only the two of us can see this power.

You've awakened an amazing talent.

Your classmate is safe.

There are many others like you...

Children who possess cyberkinesis.

Cyberkinesis?

Would you like to train so that this power
doesn't spiral out of control?

Together with your friends...

Not just my idol, but...

I absolutely cannot lose to you!

Me neither!

Don't underestimate me!

I could say the same to you!

At this rate...

I'll only be at a disadvantage.

Damn it! If I keep fighting...

I'm going to lose consciousness!

Cyber Off!

I... I can't move anymore.

Me either.

Kusaba, you're quite the fighter.

I take back what I said about you having
no sense of self and just fantasies.

You're strong too.

I'm sorry for calling you a fangirl.

Also... I haven't had that kind
of experience yet, actually.

It's one win and one draw.

Class 1-B has a slight advantage.

This is completely different
from the last Interclass Battle.

Class 1-A, led by Wagari, would...

Mr. Azaki, don't get
carried away too soon.

Mr. Nanzo,

this match isn't between us two.

How sad.

Nanzo, you used to respect me so much.

Principal!

A Ghost Account reaction has been detected
inside Virtual Kusatsu!

A Ghost Account has appeared?

The readings are faint,
but they are accurate.

Mr. Azaki.

This isn't another
one of your pranks, is it?

Of course not.

Principal, please order an investigation.

Contact the staff on site.

Y-Yes.

From the looks of it,

it doesn't seem like Nanzo
or the academy set this up.

What in the world is happening?

Darn it, I can't do anything.

My body keeps shaking.

I'm so lame. How embarrassing.

What's going on?

I can't hit him.

My flames can't even touch
the hem of his clothes.

This guy...

What did he go through in just two weeks?

Mr. Azaki.

I have something to ask you.

What is it?

Mr. Azaki, please tell me.

Is there a way to Cyber Out
without a phone?

There is no such way.

How can that be?

But that guy, Surugii,
wasn't using a phone!

I see, you mean that.

Well, you're progressing a bit fast.

But in your current state,
you might reach the next stage.

The next stage?

Listen.

Direct Cyber Out from a phone
is the standard method.

However,

instead of directly outputting
spiritual power through the phone,

you draw it back into your body.

Draw it... back into my body?

Then release it from somewhere else.

Feel the flow of spiritual power
in your abdomen.

I can't do it...

Once you've mastered it,
even without holding your phone,

as long as it touches a part
of your body, you can Cyber Out.

Your "Ghost Flames"...

can burn more freely.

I asked the mechanics
to make a fixture for my phone.

Spiritual power is flowing
through my body now.

What's wrong?

Come at me.

"Enflame, Eye."

Thank you, Mr. Azaki.

As long as my hands are free,

I can vary my fighting techniques
even more.

Aori-chan.

Thank you, Master!

Why can't I hit him?

I can't reach him at all.

In that case...

Hit me. Hit me more.

Keep attacking, Enishiro...

More... Not enough.

Still not enough...

Enishiro, it's not enough!

Here's my chance!

I got you!

Burnt meat is indeed the best!

Let me hear your screams!

"Enflame, Shoulder"

"Enflame: Shoulder"!

"Burn Immunity"!

What?

A fire like this can't burn me.

Well? Are you going to surrender?

Not...

Not... not satisfying at all.

You've simply become stronger.

All you bring is pain.
There's no pleasure at all.

There's no "malice" against me
in your attacks.

Like and hate are the same.

They are equally strong emotions.

On the other side of the phone,

countless people harbor hatred for me.

countless people harbor hatred for me.

It's a shame

I couldn't see their faces.

It's not enough...

This is bad.

More...

Hate me more!

Scumbag.

I can't believe I have to be
in the same class as you.

My sense of justice
IS fighting you with all its might.

But that's actually better.

It's much better than half-assed justice.

In fact, I like that about you.

He hates and likes me at the same time.

An unprecedented experience...

An unprecedented pleasure.

Enishiro, you hate me, don't you?

Remember when I burned
something precious to you.

Take out your anger and sadness
on me like you did last time.

Take me to the top!

I don't give a damn about you, small fry.

He doesn't care!

Let's get this battle over with.

"Enflame, Feet"!

It's an enhanced super jump.

The distance is about 50 meters.

What you're lacking, Aori-chan,
is your own special move.

A reinforced kick and the speed
of falling due to gravity.

"Ghost Flames Technique"!

"Flames Falling from Heaven"!

This guy...

He knows he's no match for me.

Why did he go head-on?

Kukuru!

Ren!

I'm here to back you up.

It's two against one now.

We don't have intel on a guy in Class 1-A?

Yes, he was the only one who didn't
participate in the previous battle.

He didn't play so we can have
equal-sized groups.

Kiri Namekawa.

If you run into him,
don't let your guard down.

No one knows what he's capable of.

Wow.

Cyber Out!!

"Hypnosis APP"!

Allow me to introduce myself.

I'm Kiri Namekawa.

My hobbies are observing insects
and making fake news.

It's fun to watch people
who lack information get fooled by lies.

It's just like observing insects.

My cyberkinesis is, "Hypnosis APP".

As long as I make opponents
stare at the screen,

I can make them do as I command.

Command.

Attack Kukuru Kasubata.

I... I attacked Kukuru.

Kukuru...

Both of them lost their combat ability
at the same time, Wagari.

I knew it was your doing.

What a revolting ending.

I really don't like you, Namekawa.

But I like you a lot.

You smell like the glue
I used in kindergarten.

All right, now it's time to finish
this throwaway match.

Find the hidden puppeteer
and that coward...

It's not over yet, Wagari.

What?

I'm getting a little angry.

Just let me control you.

Don't look at his screen, Kukuru!

Don't look!

"Command, Dance Frenzy".

Dance!

Break!

A half-baked psychic ability
can backfire on the user.

He used a roar to exploit the opening.

He used the instability of the output
to forcefully disrupt the power.

He can still roar loudly even now.

It seems even twisted justice
has a thread of faith.

If I can't slice your resolve,

then this time, I'll just "sever" it.

I'll physically incapacitate you.

You can't escape
through the windows anymore.

Kukuru, you'll die!

Surrender!

Mr. Azaki, you're watching too, right?

Declare "loss of combat ability"!

Azaki!

Mr. Azaki!

Are you trying to k*ll your student?

Azaki!

Mr. Azaki!

Shut up!

All of you, shut up!

If I give up now,

it's the end for me too.

Kukuru, why go this far?

Indeed...

Last time, I thought losing
was only natural.

I can only make one more Cyber Out?

Cyber Out!!

Kukuru.

That's...
