Dead Account (デッドアカウント)

Emergency Exit

It's so dark and scary!

Oh, grow up. You call yourself an exorcist?

Stick to the mission.

Find the interface that's putting out the signal.

Sheesh. I wish we could get more precision from the GPS.

What now?!

A b-body?!

Look! There!

That's probably the interface.

Glitch detected! Prepare for battle!

Sir!

A child ghost account?

Scanning now.

There's a match in the database...

EXTREME CLASS

Not good!

Run, everyone!

It's Sad Boy—

Account name: "Sad Boy K."

Sad Boy K

No information is known about who he was when he was alive.

He's the Society of Spirit Mediums' most powerful enemy.

Additionally, Enishiro-kun...

This is the ghost account that killed your sister.

Five Hours after Fighting Kasubata

Blue fire?

His power is the onibi, or demon flame.

It's a cursed flame that steals life force with just a touch.

Tears of blood...

Just like Akari.

Wait a minute! Then...

I've got the same power as the guy who killed my sister?!

Why?!

I'd tell you if I knew.

I was using something that dangerous in a slugfest with Kasubata?!

It's a good thing no one died, yeah!

Why didn't I die?

I guess it's like how blowfish don't die from their own poison.

A-Anyway...

This is all so much to take in. I don't know which way is up.

I'm gonna go home and take some time to sort through it all.

The hell you are, asshole.

Beg pardon. I didn't mean to curse.

Miden Academy

Class 1-B

Kasubata and...

Who're they?!

The members of class 1-B.

They're my students and your future classmates.

Get along, you guys!

So? You see the kind of company you're in now?

Eh?

We're classmates now.

No one wants to work with a guy whose flames could kill them with a touch.

But we also have to keep an eye on you.

Hey, I said to get along!

This whole situation is a steaming pile of shit!

Beg pardon!

Okay, quite enough of that!

I'm Renri Hasumi.

Sorry, Kukuru's a great guy once you get to know him.

"Kukuru"? You're allowed to use his first name?

But you're not.

Kasubata's just upset that you landed a hit on him!

I knew you could do it, Aoringo!

I'm Haijima!

H-Hey, Haiji—

The doll is talking!

I livestream games!

Let's do a collab sometime!

Can I get a selfie with you?

Uh...

Here we go!

Three, two, one!

Assholes.

Nice one!

I can't believe they're just casually interacting with a demon flame user.

R-Really?

One more!

This might just work out!

Anyway, let's get started on your final test!

It's kinda hard to move in this floppy thing.

You'll get used to it.

It looks great on you!

Lit!

What's that?

We'll be using it to test your abilities.

If you pass, we'll send you on exorcism missions in the field.

The field?

You'll throw down with ghost accounts.

Meaning you'll come up against K sooner or later.

Akari...

Let's get started.

I'll do whatever it takes

if it means I can pulverize that little shit ghost brat!

I like your attitude.

OUT

OUT

Allow me to introduce the Yumomi-kuns.

You need to beat one hundred of them!

That's the requirement to pass.

They're pseudo-spirits created for training,

but don't underestimate them.

Could get you killed.

Cyber out.

I can do this!

They're nothing compared to Kasubata!

That's enough.

What... the...

What happened?

Take a look at your phone and you'll see.

My phone?

With cyberkinetic output,

your smartphone battery syncs with your remaining spirit power.

Basically, you're out of spirit power.

Or rather...

out of battery.

In short, this is a test of endurance.

Can you last long enough to beat 100?

Granted, Aori-chan, you were already worn out from your battle with Kasubata!

I thought I'd let you experience running out of juice first thing!

Okay, I understand that much.

But even so...

This is totally a ryokan experience!

Take your seat and eat, Enishiro-kun.

The food's delicious!

Kukuru, want my konnyaku?

There's meat too!

Please.

So good! Nice to meat you!

Dining Spot Yurameki-tei

Wait, is it night already?!

When your battery runs out, you're down for at least five hours.

You'll be unresponsive to all stimulation during that time.

Stimulation? How lewd!

In the field, if it doesn't get you killed, it still drags your team down.

Learning to pace yourself is a necessary skill.

No one likes a premature ejaculator.

How vulgar.

Man, I suck.

And here I thought I had it in the bag.

This was just a sign of how powerful your cyberkinesis is.

Go on, eat!

The big test is in a week.

You'll only get one chance at it.

And if you fail...

Let's just say you'll be locked up and tortured.

What?!

Man, the whole school's been buzzing since you showed up!

Plenty think you're in cahoots with K.

That demon flame has killed lots of people, after all.

No small number of folks here have it out for you.

Training starts tomorrow.

Have some food and go rest up.

Nothing beats sleep for recovering spirit power.

Don't forget that, okay?

Good night!

Um, where's my room?

Are you insane?

I told you we have to keep an eye on you.

We're sharing a room?!

You'll find a towel, yukata, toothbrush, and other supplies in that basket.

Don't use the big bath. Use the shower in our room.

One wrong move and I'll smack you down.

Kasubata.

You're thinking, "Why am I stuck with this lowlife?"

I feel the same way, asshole.

Beg pardon.

Please!

Train me!

Help me control my cyberkinesis before the week is out!

Not what I expected from a flamebaiter.

Who bows so deeply to someone who beat the hell out of them?

Have you no pride?

I don't give a damn about my pride!

I'm weak as shit, and you're strong!

That's all that matters!

How vulgar.

I was already planning on training you.

You mean it?!

Azaki-sensei's ordered me to.

Thanks! I'm so glad! I'll do my best!

Don't touch me.

Why me?

You should train him, Azaki-sensei!

You're the class rep, right? It's up your alley.

Absolutely not!

You know why I hate flamebaiters!

You're doing this to spite me, aren't you?!

I just think it'll go better this way.

For Enishiro-kun...

and for you, too.

Have I ever lied to you?

Very well.
