[00:10] Kurahashi
Well, goodness. Sometimes,
I'm so brilliant, it frightens me.
[00:16] Kurahashi
You're still my key piece,
so don't let me down,
[00:20] Kurahashi
Miss Hundred Faces.

[02:01] Suzuran
Shinohara-kun, you waited for...
[02:03] Suzuran
Meow?
[02:04] Suzuran
S-Sarasa-chan?
[02:07] Suzuran
Wh-Why are you and
Shinohara-kun together?
[02:11] Hiroto
Saionji's competing with Miss Hundred
Faces to see who can beat me first.
[02:17] Hiroto
So we decided to team up for now.
[02:20] Sarasa
It wasn't really my idea, though.
[02:21] Hiroto
Hey, Kazami. Tell me something.
[02:24] Hiroto
That video of Tokoyo
Academy getting clobbered...
[02:27] Hiroto
I could tell it really bothered you, too.

SIGN The Hotly Anticipated New Superstar Appears !
[02:29] Hiroto
But when the footage aired, it came with
commentary lauding Miss Hundred Faces.
[02:33] Hiroto
Why would Libra cover
for a tyrant like that?
[02:37] Hiroto
Can you tell me?
[02:39] Suzuran
Meow...
[02:40] Hiroto
To defeat Miss Hundred Faces,
we'll need Libra's help.
[02:46] Suzuran
I can't, meow! I can't get you two involved!
[02:54] Sarasa
Please don't underestimate us.
[02:56] Sarasa
I'm no pushover, and neither is he.
[03:01] Suzuran
Um...
[03:03] Suzuran
Fine. I'll tell you everything, meow.
[03:07] Suzuran
Miss Hundred Faces is
an unauthorized player.
[03:10] Suzuran
She isn't affiliated with any academy
and has no right to play.
[03:13] Suzuran
She's using a forged account, meow.
[03:16] Suzuran
It seems she has an ally on the
ASTRAL management committee.
[03:21] Hiroto
That must be Kurahashi.
[03:24] Suzuran
Miss Hundred Faces' data
is all over the place, meow!
[03:26] Suzuran
All sorts of settings have
been rewritten to help her.
[03:30] Suzuran
She's a cheater with
all sorts of advantages, meow!
[03:33] Suzuran
When I figured that out, I suddenly
felt this huge weight of responsibility.
[03:38] Suzuran
If Miss Hundred Faces goes on to win,
[03:41] Suzuran
it'll be the biggest disaster in
the history of Academy Island!
[03:44] Suzuran
But Libra will take the fall for everything.
[03:49] Suzuran
ASTRAL is supposed to be
a fun, exciting event, meow.
[03:55] Suzuran
I wanted to make it thrilling for everyone,
[03:58] Suzuran
and I spent so much time at Libra, planning
and thinking of ways to make it work, meow.
[04:06] Sarasa
Yes, I know.
[04:08] Suzuran
Sarasa-chan. I don't... I don't...
[04:13] Suzuran
I don't want Libra to be ruined
by something this unfair, meow!
[04:16] Suzuran
I don't want the place I call home
to be destroyed by this, meow!
[04:21] Suzuran
So, Shinohara-kun, Sarasa-chan, please...
[04:25] Suzuran
Please save Libra for me, meow!
[04:28] Hiroto
Sure.
[04:30] Hiroto
I'm the strongest on Academy Island,
and she's the Six Star Empress.
[04:34] Hiroto
Someone like Miss Hundred Faces
is no threat to us.
[04:45] Sarasa
Why do we have to sneak
around hidden like this?
[04:48] Hiroto
W-We don't have a choice.
[04:50] Hiroto
During ASTRAL, we aren't allowed to
have any contact with people from Libra.
[04:56] Shirayuki
Uh, Master...
[04:58] Sarasa
Sh-Shinohara! What do you
think you're touching?
[05:01] Hiroto
Huh? I-I'm not touching anything.
[05:04] Sarasa
But I totally felt something.
[05:07] Sarasa
I'm seriously getting mad here.
[05:09] Hiroto
It's not me! Maybe it was Himeji.
[05:12] Sarasa
Huh? There's no way Yuki would...
[05:16] Shirayuki
This is different. It is beyond my control.
[05:18] Sarasa
Watch it!
SIGN United Army List
[05:28] Sarasa
This is the United Army ability
Miss Hundred Faces is using.
[05:32] Shirayuki
It is rather terrible.
[05:34] Hiroto
She doesn't know where to draw the line.
[05:38] Shirayuki
If Miss Hundred Faces comes in first, all the
academies in her army will be tied for second.
[05:43] Shirayuki
That is what this means.
[05:44] Hiroto
So there's a good reason
for them to want to join.
[05:48] Sarasa
Makes sense.
[05:50] Suzuran
There are already seven teams
attached to Miss Hundred Faces, meow.
[05:54] Hiroto
So Kururugi didn't just run away that time.
She was trying to tie for second.
[06:02] Sarasa
Ew. I just noticed a name I hate.
SIGN Shinra Academy
SIGN Kirigaya Touya
SIGN Suzuki Chinatsu
SIGN Kawagoe Shigetaka
SIGN Yamazaki Ayako
SIGN Mizutani Saya
[06:06] Sarasa
The holder of the
Black Star, Kirigaya Touya.
[06:09] Sarasa
He might be even more trouble
than the Demon Maiden.
[06:12] Hiroto
Seriously?
[06:13] Hiroto
Oh?
SIGN Kugasaki Seiran
SIGN Genda Takemori
[06:17] Hiroto
It's a tough situation, but if we can bring
the other academies together through Libra,
[06:21] Hiroto
we might recover.
[06:23] Hiroto
Miss Hundred Faces holds
less than half of the total area.
[06:26] Hiroto
Which means, if all the other teams band
together, we still have a chance of winning.
[06:31] Sarasa
But how do we get the teams to cooperate?
[06:35] Shirayuki
If Miss Hundred Faces wins,
[06:36] Shirayuki
all of the teams not allied
with her will lose a star.
[06:40] Sarasa
Oh, that's right!
And they'd do anything to avoid that.
[06:44] Sarasa
Including taking on Miss Hundred Faces!
[06:47] Hiroto
So, if I made a glorious return
after being eliminated from ASTRAL,
[06:52] Hiroto
it'd fire people up, don't you think?
[06:54] Sarasa
It sure would.
[06:55] Suzuran
The crowd would go wild for
a good comeback story, meow!
[06:58] Shirayuki
It is a wonderful idea, Master.
[07:00] Hiroto
That's why I'm going to MTCG.
[07:03] Suzuran
If you clear the most
difficult route in MTCG,
[07:07] Suzuran
you can get the Wild Card that lets
you take part in ASTRAL again, meow.
[07:10] Shirayuki
You only have tomorrow
morning to clear that route.
[07:15] Sarasa
I wonder if that's long enough.
[07:17] Hiroto
Kazami, we don't have much time.
What's the quickest way to win the Wild Card?
[07:22] Suzuran
You'll have to defeat the Sixth Assassin
in the hidden quest, meow.
[07:27] Hiroto
The Sixth Assassin?
[07:28] Suzuran
An outside participant
who's in middle school.
SIGN The Sixth Assassin
[07:31] Hiroto
In middle school?
[07:33] Hiroto
Wait, do you mean Shiina Tsumugi?
[07:36] Suzuran
H-How'd you know that, Shinohara-kun?
[07:38] Hiroto
Oh, well, it's because...
H-How do I explain this?
[07:43] Sarasa
So, you innocently bumped into a
middle schooler after hours in the hotel,
[07:46] Sarasa
then spent the night with her? Huh.
[07:50] Shirayuki
What a marvelously fast
worker you are, Master.
[07:53] Hiroto
Would you quit trying to spin it like that?
[07:56] Suzuran
Anyway, Tsumugi-chan's
the final boss in MTCG, meow.
[08:01] Hiroto
Still, I have to enter MTCG, defeat Shiina,
get the Wild Card, then return to ASTRAL?
[08:10] Hiroto
Can you guys last that long?
[08:13] Shirayuki
Do not worry, Master.
[08:15] Sarasa
Why are you getting cold feet now?
That isn't like you.
[08:18] Sarasa
You don't need to worry about
Eimei or Ouka being tough enough.
[08:22] Sarasa
Just concentrate on coming back to us
as soon as you can, stupid Shinohara.
[08:28] Shirayuki
That is very sly of you, Sarasa-sama.
[08:37] Hiroto
All right, then. Time we got started.
SIGN The Next Day
SIGN ASTRAL Fourth Day: Morning
[08:51] Suzuran
We're here, meow! This is the MTCG site.
[08:55] Hiroto
Whoa.
[09:02] Suzuran
I'll support you, just like we planned, meow.
[09:05] Hiroto
Right. Thank you, Kazami.
[09:07] Suzuran
Check your Device, meow.
[09:09] Hiroto
Hm?
SIGN Strengthen
SIGN Exchange
[09:11] Suzuran
The important things in MTCG
are cards, quests, and coins.
[09:16] Suzuran
There are cards numbered one to nine, meow.
[09:20] Suzuran
Add them up and you get
your familiar's level, meow.
[09:24] Suzuran
There are five quest stages. The goal for
each one is to beat your opponent's familiar.
[09:29] Suzuran
In order to do that, you have to raise your
familiar's level to match your opponent's.
[09:35] Hiroto
So it's a number-matching game.
SIGN Strengthen
SIGN Exchange
[09:37] Suzuran
That's right, meow!
[09:39] Suzuran
And to level up, you have to use
"Strengthen" and "Exchange" on your cards.
SIGN Strengthen
[09:43] Suzuran
Strengthen takes time, though, so watch out.
[09:47] Hiroto
I get it. So it's like you buy the numbers.
[09:50] Suzuran
So if you want to save time, use Exchange.
[09:54] Suzuran
Exchange is the easiest way
to increase your level.
[09:58] Suzuran
If you add coins to your card and
exchange it for someone else's,
[10:03] Suzuran
you can boost your level in a snap.
[10:07] Hiroto
So the coins compensate
for the gap in the values.

[10:23] Yuikawa
Whoo!
[10:31] Yuikawa
Well, well. Isn't this amusing, Shinohara-kun?
[10:35] Hiroto
Who were you again?
[10:37] Yuikawa
I'm the guy you kicked out of ASTRAL,
Yuikawa from Ibara Academy!
[10:43] Yuikawa
I bet you're also here
aiming for a second chance,
[10:48] Yuikawa
but I'm already on quest stage five.
[10:51] Yuikawa
I'm about to clear this whole thing.
[10:54] Yuikawa
It's impossible for you to catch up.
[10:57] Tsuyuri D
Hey.
[11:00] Tsuyuri D
Which card do you want?
[11:02] Hiroto
Huh?
[11:03] Hiroto
A four card.
[11:05] Tsuyuri D
Right. In that case, I'll trade
your one card and 100 coins for it.
[11:11] Yuikawa
Hey! Don't just start talking
to him like I'm not here!
[11:17] Hiroto
Just 100 coins? It'd really help, though.
[11:20] Tsuyuri D
You're trying to beat her, right?
Miss Hundred Faces.
[11:24] Hiroto
And what if I am?
[11:26] Tsuyuri D
Our leader, Kururugi Senri,
is always dependable.
[11:31] Tsuyuri D
I'm sure she made the right choice
allying with Miss Hundred Faces.
[11:35] Tsuyuri D
But she had to do it
because we were too weak.
[11:40] Tsuyuri D
I'm ashamed.
[11:42] Tsuyuri D
That's why...
[11:44] Tsuyuri D
I want you to return to ASTRAL.
[11:48] Tsuyuri D
Please set Senri free.
[11:51] Tsuyuri D
All of us at Tsuyuri want to get stronger.
[11:54] Tsuyuri D
And to do that together.
[11:58] Hiroto
I see. Thanks for trading
number cards with me.
[12:03] Hiroto
I can't say I'm doing it for Tsuyuri,
but I will defeat Miss Hundred Faces.
[12:10] Tsuyuri D
I understand. That's good enough.
[12:15] Hiroto
That sure helped.
I'm already up to Level 6.
[12:18] Suzuran
Meow!
[12:20] Suzuran
Now ya gotta look for
a new opponent, meow.
[12:24] Hiroto

[12:27] Hiroto
Who else is at Level 6 right now?
[12:33] Kagurazuki C
Huh? Sh-Shinohara?
[12:35] Kagurazuki C
You're kidding me. You're already
challenging me? But you just got here!
[12:39] Electronic voice

[13:03] Hiroto
First, I'll use Reward Up.
[13:07] Electronic voice
It is your opponent's turn.
[13:09] Hiroto
He's probably going to use Level Up.
SIGN Level Up
[13:13] Electronic voice
It is your turn.
[13:16] Hiroto
I'll use Level Up to change my numbers, too.

Guess it's time I made some serious moves.
[13:56] Suzuran
Over there is an Adjuster. He can
exchange your cards and coins, meow.
[14:03] Hiroto
I want to make an exchange.
[14:05] Hiroto
I'll give you a one card.
[14:08] Hiroto
In exchange, give me a Reward Up card.
[14:11] Adjuster
Huh?
[14:12] Mob student A
He's getting rid of a number card?
[14:14] Mob student B
How can he clear the game if he
doesn't have enough number cards?
[14:19] Adjuster
Are you in your right mind?
[14:22] Hiroto
Yeah. Do it.
[14:25] Adjuster
Very well.
[14:27] Adjuster
The exchange rate between the
one card and the Reward Up card...
[14:31] Adjuster
i-is 99,000 coins.
[14:34] Mob student
Wait, 99,000?
[14:36] Mob student
That's a huge amount!
[14:38] Mob student
Is he serious?
[14:39] Hiroto
Sounds good. I accept the trade.
[14:41] Suzuran
Meow-sands!
[14:46] Hiroto
Good.
[14:46] Mob student A
He got dozens of hours'
worth of coins in a snap?
[14:49] Mob student B
What's he planning?
[14:52] Suzuran
Th-That was amazing, Shinohara-kun!
Nobody else would've thought of that, meow!
[14:57] Suzuran
Now you can exchange as
many cards as you want, meow!
[15:02] Hiroto
After that...
[15:06] Hiroto
I progressed through the quests.
[15:10] Hiroto
And with Libra's help, I soon
had three number cards again.
[15:15] Hiroto
I have to hurry and get them all up to nine.
[15:19] Tatara
Shi-no-ha-ra-kun!
[15:26] Tatara
We thought you might be
wanting these about now.
[15:30] Tsuji
We've been increasing our
numbers since this morning.
[15:32] Tsuji
Between me and Tatara-san,
we now have two nine cards.
[15:36] Hiroto
Wow, guys. Are you gonna
trade them with me?
[15:39] Tatara
Of course!
[15:41] Tatara
And forget exchange rates.
We're Eimei buddies, after all.
[15:45] Tsuji
If you can win here, Shinohara-kun,
Eimei might be able to turn things around.
[15:50] Tsuji
I want to see that happen.
So, please take them.
[15:54] Tatara
Eimei's future is riding on it.
Do your best in ASTRAL, Shinohara-kun!
[15:58] Hiroto
Yeah, I will.
[16:01] Hiroto
I'll keep that dream of yours
alive from here on out.
[16:07] Hiroto
Thanks a lot, Tatara and Tsuji.
[16:10] Tatara
It's cool. Good luck.
[16:14] Tatara
Fight!
[16:18] Kagaya

[16:20] Kagaya
Got a second?
[16:21] Kagaya
I was able to access
Tsumu-Tsumu's personal data,
[16:25] Kagaya
but security's tight and
I'm stuck on the last password.
[16:28] Kagaya
It should be the level she's set at,
but that's gonna take a while to decipher.
[16:34] Kagaya
Hiro-kyun, can you
squeeze it out of her sooner?
[16:38] Hiroto
Understood.
[16:40] Hiroto
Shiina's level, huh?
[16:49] Yuikawa
Ah, Shinohara. You got pretty close.
[16:54] Yuikawa
But now you get to stand and watch in shame!
[17:08] Tsumugi
So you were in the MTCG, huh, mister?
[17:12] Hiroto
Shiina. So you were
the final boss after all.

[17:58] Yuikawa

[18:37] Tsumugi
I'm totally, totally gonna win this game!
[18:42] Hiroto
"Totally"?
[18:45] Hiroto
Are you really that sure?
[18:48] Hiroto
This game is just about matching numbers.
[18:51] Hiroto
If you only try to get a
higher number, you'll lose.
[18:55] Hiroto
Which means...
[18:56] Hiroto
It's negative, isn't it?
[18:59] Hiroto
Your level is below zero.
[19:04] Tsumugi
Oh, wow.
[19:06] Tsumugi
You're totally right.
[19:09] Tsumugi
My level is -99.
[19:12] Tsumugi
Lloyd's a guard dog from hell,
so my level got inverted.
[19:16] Hiroto
Huh. That sounds like
something you'd think of.
[19:19] Hiroto
Kagaya-san, take care of it.

[20:00] Tsumugi
And I know nobody else

[20:04] Tsumugi
Huh?
[20:05] Tsumugi
Why is Lloyd at Level 30 now?!
[20:09] Lloyd
Bow-gwow?
[20:10] Hiroto
Because Kagaya-san hacked
your level and changed it to 30.
[20:15] Kagaya
Teehee.
[20:17] Hiroto
And that's game, set, and match!

You really are strong, mister.
[20:53] Tsumugi
I'm so happy. I'm so happy.
[20:56] Tsumugi
Things are getting even more fun now.
[21:00] Hiroto
Maybe I should just go for it.
[21:02] Hiroto
Hey, Shiina.
[21:03] Hiroto
You're Miss Hundred Faces, aren't you?
[21:09] Tsumugi
That's right. I'm Miss Hundred Faces, mister.
[21:14] Tsumugi
Next time, let's compete in ASTRAL.
[21:16] Tsumugi
Let's play a whole bunch of
games and finish things off!
[21:23] Tsumugi
From here on out, things are gonna get real.
[21:29] Hiroto
The person pulling the strings
really was Kurahashi Mikado.
[21:32] Hiroto
I gotta hurry back to ASTRAL.
[21:36] Hiroto
Yes!
[21:38] Hiroto
I made it!

Is he making a comeback?
[22:05] Hiroto
I won the Wild Card in MTCG.
[22:10] Hiroto
So now I can play in ASTRAL again.
[22:14] Hiroto
I also learned something interesting.
[22:18] Hiroto
Miss Hundred Faces isn't even a player.
[22:21] Hiroto
She's just an enemy character
the admins threw in.
[22:25] Hiroto
She's a gimmick to make
the game more exciting.
[22:29] Hiroto
All of you are the top players
from your academies.
[22:33] Hiroto
I know you have some stars, too.
[22:37] Hiroto
Are you gonna let some enemy
character make fools of you?
[22:40] Hiroto
Do you want to be humiliated?
[22:42] Hiroto
I realize the situation is desperate.
[22:46] Hiroto
It might seem impossible
to turn things around now.
[22:49] Hiroto
But if you don't want to
lose to a cheating villain,
[22:53] Hiroto
what do you say to
combining all our forces?
[22:57] Hiroto
If we form an alliance, we might
get ahead of Miss Hundred Faces.
[23:02] Hiroto
And your leader will be
the resurrected Seven Star.
[23:06] Hiroto
The strongest on Academy Island. Me.
[23:10] Hiroto
If your team wants to join the alliance,
make a Truce Agreement with Eimei Academy.
[23:17] Student mob A
I-It isn't over yet.
[23:18] Student mob B
We can't give up now!
[23:20] Student mob C
With the Seven Star on our side...
SIGN Truce Agreement
SIGN Truce Agreement
[23:24] Suzuran
Meow!
[23:25] Hiroto
They're all getting it.
SIGN Alliance Formed
[23:33] Hiroto
All right, listen up.
[23:36] Hiroto
Now we go on the attack.
