Rokumon has enrolled in the Black Cat Contractor Ranking Exam.
Written Exam
At 1st Dan, he'll be able to buy Shinigami Tools at a discount.
He made it past the written exam without a hitch,
but he is in a dire pinch in one of the three practical tests, the cooperation test.
To get to the goal, the top floor of the cat tower,
For Shinigami
The key for the Shinigami door is inside this room
he must steal the key guarded by Kurosu 6th Dan.
But Kurosu 6th Dan's guard is strong.
What does Rokumon do?
I have a proposition for the black cats.
The black cats? Cooperate with each other?
What's going on?
Shinigami can't enter that room.
We can't have our Shinigami's help.
So we'll split into a Black Cat Group A to distract Kurosu 6th Dan,
and a Black Cat Group B to steal the key.
We'll storm them all at once.
Ah-ha.
How are we choosing the teams?
Good point.
You'd be better off in Group B to take the key than in Group A to be a decoy.
Someone's going to cheat.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm in.
We don't have any choice but to trust each other.
Oboro-kun.
Yeah, you might be right.
Let's all work together
And get through this test.
Yeah, yeah!
True, the theme of the second exam is "cooperation."
But I have a feeling there's a huge pitfall to this plan.
All right, let's begin the plan!
Go, Team A!
We got this!
Yeah, yeah!
Snacks!
These snacks are for the young master.
Would you all like some?
Here you go!
Cat Snacks
Snacks!
Hey, you're in Team B!
Yeah, yeah!
You aren't being fair, Team A!
Just a bunch of loser cats, after all.
Selfish and utterly lacking in cooperativeness.
And stupid.
Especially your Suzu.
I have more!
Cat Snacks
Mine!
Nice, Oboro!
I let my guard down.
Don't move.
You don't want to know what'll happen to your precious young master.
Black Cat Magic!
That was a close one.
Hey.
You threw me under the bus just now.
O-Of course not.
I'd never d-do such a thing.
Rokumon!
He was avoiding the temptation of the snacks and keeping low the whole time.
"This is the moment I've been waiting for!"
He's got a mouthful of snacks.
Never mind that.
What is this odd feeling I've been having?
"Shinigami Door!"
"Keyhole!"
Right!
Wait, Rokumon!
The door opened.
Rinne-sama, I did it!
The door's open!
We're close to the goal!
Let's go, Suzu!
Come on, Rinne.
I should have noticed sooner.
The first person to open the door becomes a sacrifice.
Selfish and uncooperative.
That is the nature of the cat.
But there was one who had a good understanding of the theme
of the "cooperation" in this test,
and asked for everyone's help.
Rokumon-kun, it was you alone.
Good for you.
Kurosu 6th Dan.
I shall keep this in my heart alone.
Give him some credit.
Let's go, Rinne-sama.
Yeah, we can still make it.
There are no rules going forward.
The team that gets the
Shinigami Scythe Free Repair Coupon at the top of the pole will win.
We're going so fast.
Kain!
I don't care to lose to you, of all people.
You don't care to lose?
Laughable!
If I lose, I will have to pay for my scythe repairs myself.
But I don't have that kind of money.
I have no option but to win!
I'm far more tenacious than a one-percenter like you.
Go, Rokumon!
Mrowrrr!
No you don't!
You'll have to fight me first!
Go, Rokumon.
I'm counting on you.
The ticket's mine!
Crap, when did you get here?
Help me, Oboro!
Jeez.
Quit dragging me down.
That hurt, you idiot!
The ticket!
Mine!
And so the winner of the second practical test is Team Ageha and Oboro.
To hell with this ticket.
I don't need that thing.
And now, the last test of the Black Cat Contractor Ranking Exam.
All black cats applying for 1st Dan, please come to the ring.
Shinigamis, please wait in the audience seats.
The Shinigamis will be permitted to participate as seconds,
giving instructions to the black cats.
Seconds?
What does that mean?
The final test is a battle of might.
A battle royale of black cats.
Contestants are required to participate.
You must defeat at least one opponent.
At least one?
So half of everyone loses?
Yeah, yeah.
I like it.
No one's as good as I am at fighting.
I'm confused, but it sounds fun.
Rokumon's small.
He's at a huge disadvantage.
If I lose and fail the exam, I'll have let the 500 yen exam fee go to waste.
Coupons
Come get your shopping coupons.
Shopping coupons?
Please buy tools and weapons from the stores above the ring,
and use them in your battles.

Shopping coupons will be distributed based on your exam results thus far.

I thought it was a fight.
And as appropriate for everyone else.
I only get two?
I only got one.
Crap.
Yeah, yeah.
Five, huh?
The rules are simple: You have 60 minutes.
Black Cat Ranking Exam Final Test

You will automatically be disqualified if you touch the ground outside of the ring.
Inside

Fail
That is all.
Begin the combat test!
Please begin your shopping.
We have brought Kurosu 6th Dan on as our commentator.
Black Cat Kurosu is contractually obligated to take care of
Shinigami Shouma until 5 PM.
How do you feel about this, Kurosu 6th Dan?
It'll be a test of how one spends their given budget.
This is so boring.
I want to go home and game.
Boring.
Boring.
Boring.
Stuff your face with plenty of cake, Young Master.
It looks like there's something happening in the ring.
Move, move, move!
Ah, it's a high-quality fireworks kit.
Worth about 10,000 yen.
10,000 yen?
In other words, he used up all ten of his shopping coupons.
His plan is to strike early, huh?
That's Oboro for you.
All he has for weapons are fireworks!
Take this, I bought this watergun with what little I had!
Mice?
Yeah, yeah!
What's this? Leaving the ring, one after another!
You're all disqualified.
Oh no!
Yeah, yeah...?
Meanwhile, some are still avoiding battle, shopping carefully.
Could you please give me a discount?
