Gin no Guardian 2nd Season

The 3 From the Training Institute

Um... This is the place for the beginners' training, right?

I'm a newbie here to take the course. My name's Riku Suigin.

Um... Are you guys trainees, too?

I look forward to working with you guys since we're all new.

Hey, you're...

You're Suigin. You're Riku Suigin-kun, right?

You're the super poor student that does nothing but work, right?

Huh?

Wow! I never thought I'd meet you in Grave Buster!

Huh? Uh...

I'm sorry... Who are you?

Oh, come on! It's me!

I'm Shaa. We're in the same class together.

Though you were usually sleeping in class,

so I guess I'm not surprised you didn't know.

You didn't actually forget me, the student council president, did you?

Oh, yes. Of course.

You're the student council president, Shaa.

Hey, stop being so noisy.

Oh, sorry. But I mean, we're all beginners,

so I think it'd be beneficial if we all got along.

That's unnecessary.

Trainee ID: Titan.

Shaa.

Y-Yes, ma'am!

Riku Suigin.

Oh, hello.

I am in charge of this beginner's course.

I'm your instructor, Rin.

Your lesson will be held here with actual battles.

These are the remains of a tomb that's been robbed.

Hundreds of years ago,

grave robbers defeated the boss here and looted everything that was here.

Basically a place where soldiers once dreamed a dream.

Ma'am, what are those?

Tunnel apes. That's what they call those monsters.

Despite the way they look, they're quite fast, and they're troublesome.

So we just have to defeat them?

Basically, yes.

Well, let's all work together and do our best. Okay?

Let's stop talking and do this thing.

Haven't you noticed? You started a long time ago.

Everyone who enrolls in Grave Buster

is given an item unique to them called a Buster Item.

That is your weapon.

Mine is Storm Eye!

Metal Fist.

Whoa, those are awesome.

What's your Buster Item look like, Suigin-kun?

Um, well... I have one, but...

Here they come!

As I thought, my sword can't pierce them.

What are we supposed to do if physical attacks don't work?

Yeah, that did zero damage.

Their armor is as hard as minerals.

First, we need to defeat their elder.

Elder?

The big one with the three eyes.

That's their elder, the Grand Tunnel Ape.

Its power is keeping the other tunnel apes' armor hard.

Seriously? We have to beat that thing?

Amazing!

Wow...

That move... I'm pretty sure I've seen it before.

Our plans got a little messed up, but small fry still produce coins!

I'm gonna cut through all these tunnel apes with a triple combo!

And level up!

S-So beautiful. An idol you'd only see once every millennium.

Instructor, no, Princess Rinko.

I am your humble servant!

I will serve you as long as I live!

My pulse has gone beyond its limit! This is so much fun!

Sun.

Here.

Shaa.

Is Shaa absent today?

Come to think of it...

I haven't seen him today.

I didn't even notice.

He doesn't really stand out.

That was quite the haul.

I guess that ends the beginner's course.

What? No way!

Princess Rinko, please order me around some more!

Well, you see, in order to actually pass this beginner's course...

you must defeat me,

with your team of three!

Seaweed!

I was able to basically see

the extent of your abilities from your reactions just now.

Titan.

You were able to summon a familiar without using your Buster Item.

I'm assuming you were being careful,

thinking that my kunai might've had some additional effect.

However, that was just a physical attack.

A familiar?

Titan-kun, how much money did you put into this game?

I put about 500,000 of my allowance into it myself,

but there's no way I could afford a familiar!

I guess that means you defeated some high-level monsters and saved up some coins.

Oh, yeah. Suigin-kun,

I don't think you've put anything into this game

since you're working all the time...

Huh?

My family's super rich, so I'll put even more money into the game and protect you.

Let's all get through this beginner's course together!

Shut up!

Y-Yes, ma'am!

Shaa, first of all, remove that kunai out of your head.

Kunai?

Huh? Where?

There's a kunai! Sticking out of my head!

Bi zui!

Stop screaming and quickly remove that thing from your head!

Remove it? But that sounds like it'd hurt!

Hurry up!

Y-Yes, ma'am!

I'm squirting blood...

Shaa!

There's no need to worry.

Look at his wound. It's no big deal.

Riku Suigin, if you underestimate me, you're going to get hurt.

Wait, I'm not underestimating you.

Your item... is rather unique.

Apparently she has the ability to see others' equipment.

Riku Suigin, let me see your Buster Item.

Really, mine's not a big deal.

Who are you?

That's a rather sudden greeting.

Well, I don't like wasting time.

In order to pass this course, we need to defeat you.

That was the requirement, wasn't it, Instructor Rin?

Yes, you're exactly right.

Fine. Let's continue with the lesson.

This is a very difficult course.

Oh, I'm sorry. I lost my textbook.

That won't be a problem, will it?

Actually, it is. I'd rather not work overtime for free.

I've definitely seen those moves before.

I remember now!

That guy entered the world's three biggest virtual fighting game tournaments

for the first time and won all three and has held his titles for three years!

He's the legendary Titan!

Virtual fighting game?

Yeah.

He crushed all of his opponents with his incredible power, speed, and technique!

He's the undefeated Crusher Titan!

But for some reason he didn't enter any tournament this year,

and no matter how much you search for him

on the Internet, all of his information's been deleted.

Rin's True Identity

The amazing Titan!

No one else has ever been able to win this title three times in a row undefeated.

He is truly the world's strongest!
