**[00:04] Naoki**
It ain't like you to wear
somethin' like that, Boss.
**[00:07] Misaki**
Yeah, I feel the same way.
**[00:10] Misaki**
Why did I decide to wear it...?
**[00:13] Misaki**
And don't call me "Boss"!
**[00:16] Shingo**
But I have the feeling I've seen it before...
**[00:21] Aichi**
Good morning!
**[00:23] Aichi**

**[00:39] Blaster**
Sh-She's not with them.
**[00:41] Blaster**
And no one has mentioned Kourin at all.
**[00:44] Blaster**
What could it mean?
**[00:49] Blaster**
Good even-guard, everyone.
**[00:51] Blaster**
It's me, your old pal, Blaster Blade.
**[00:53] Blaster**

Isn't it obvious? For a competition!
**[01:48] Lozenge**
A competition?
**[01:50] Tamer**
Yep. Just introducing the units is too dull!
***SIGN*** Unit Introduction / Academy Competition Fukuhara vs Miyaji
**[01:58] Tamer**

The winner is Fukuhara!
**[20:59] Dark**
See, Greion's Vanguard
also goes to Fukuhara High,
**[21:03] Dark**
meaning that we introduced
one more clan than you.
**[21:07] Dark**
Miyaji introduced four.
**[21:10] Dark**
Fukuhara introduced... five!
**[21:13] Dark**
How about that?!
**[21:14] Lozenge**
Get lost!
