style="margin: 8px 0; clear: both;">e="text-align: left;"> Summary:

Yuji defeats the rookies who attacked him upon entering the colony and is reunited with someone from his hometown. Despite being separated, Yuji and Megumi work to find Hiromi Higuruma. They both manage to get information about Higurum's location from the other players, but one of them is tricked.

Plot:

Yuji begins his fight with Hanyu's partner Haba by throwing a stone charged with cursed energy at him. Haba destroys her with her fast spinning propeller and Yuji uses the opening to close the distance. He runs across the roof of the building and jumps high into the air, allowing him to grab onto Haba's leg. Yuji uses his strength to pull Haba down and drags him along the side of the building. As he crashes and shatters the exterior of a high-rise building, Haba is forced to recognize his opponent's superhuman physical abilities.

Haba breaks free and tries to counterattack, so Yuji decides to back off. Yuji realizes that Haba isn't taking advantage of the elevated terrain and is only attacking with his propeller. He leads him inside, where Haba is convinced that his propellers can crush everything in sight, including steel bars. Haba spins at the opponent's head like a drill and tries to cut everything in its path. Yuji believes that Hanyu was easily defeated because her cursed hair-based technique left the rest of her body unguarded by the cursed energy. Whether reinforced or not, the head remains a vital place. As long as he can hit it without touching the propellers, he's sure he can smash Haba.

As his opponent spins towards him at high speed, slicing the corridor to pieces, Yuji punches Haba squarely in the top of the head. Haba is stopped and bleeding profusely from the head. Despite having a broken rotator and propeller in addition to the head injury, Haba remains standing. Yuji is mostly unharmed, but his knuckles are cut from the impact. Haba overconfidently assumes that Yuji has broken his arm and calls him the loser of this fight. Yuji immediately finishes off Hab with a kick and shakes off the injury, claiming that his arm is not broken. Haba is unconscious, but Yuji realizes that he still needs to ask about Higuruma. Not sure how best to interrogate someone in combat situations.

Rin suddenly appears behind Yuji and catches his attention. He says he knows about Higurum and asks if Yuji remembers him. Yuji can't remember, although he usually remembers faces quite well. Rin notices that Yuji is suspicious and reveals that she only really knows him as Tiger from West High School. Embarrassed by the nickname, Yuji realizes that Rin is from his hometown of Sendai.

Meanwhile, in the back, Megumi passes Remi on the street and asks her if she is a wizard from the past. He confirms that he is from the modern era, prompting Megumi to ask why he is at war. Remi explains that the non-wizards had to leave the colony, but the players who started inside the colony have been experiencing the Culling Game for twelve days now. They are not in the game to win, most people are just trying to survive. After more than a week in the game, even modern humans stopped thinking about reasons to fight and went into battle mode. Remi claims she's seen players go crazy with power and thinking in terms of time slots is pointless. Megumi realizes that the past wizards must have influenced the modern wizards to join the conflict, meaning that he accidentally seduced Yuji.

Megumi tells Remi to stop walking and reveal where she is leading him. Remi refuses because Megumi could simply eliminate her after she gets this information. Megumi claims that if Remi dies, he might lose Higuruma's location, but she says it's his job as her knight to prevent that. At the same time, Rin also leads Yuji to Higuruma. Yuji questions why he is helping when he was with two flying wizards, but Rin reveals that he was forced to work for them and would have been removed soon anyway. Rin introduces herself and Yuji asks where exactly Higuruma is.

Rin and Remi reveal Higiruma's location at the same time, Yuji and Megumi. However, they list two different locations. Rin claims that Higuruma is in Ikebukuro while Remi says that he is in Shinjuku. Yuji and Megumi both hope that the other is heading towards their destination. One of them is misled and led to a mysterious man collecting receipts. He is getting impatient and wonders when his footman will bring his next target.
