You will be evaluated, scored, and counted. And once you fall below a certain threshold,
you will be eliminated immediately.

Everyone is already so strong…can I really make it through selections?

Unacceptable!
I can’t get discouraged!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
This is for PUS!
And my dad!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I don’t know what the judging criteria are, but in a simulated battle, I won’t lose to anyone!
I need to better understand my opponents!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The people who have already participated in simulated battles are me, Maddelena…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Her combat techniques are very impressive…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
That short, pink-haired girl with that cold face and agile movement… she can’t be underestimated.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The other girl fighting her, she’s even better…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Audrey’s shield is basically invulnerable.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
But despite that, the opposing person still found an opening to attack…because…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
…is it because of the advantages of having a small frame, or…
.
.

You still haven’t eaten yet?
.
.
.
.
.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
WAAAA-
.
Don’t tell me you’re thinking of a plan to defeat someone, are you?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
No, no I wasn’t!
I…
I…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Hahaha, I’m just kidding, no need to be nervous.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Oh yeah, didn’t I just see you with Celestia and the others? You want to head to the dining hall and find them?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Ah…
OK.

What a coincidence, never thought I’d run into Celestia here!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Indeed,
what a coincidence.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Why don’t we introduce ourselves. I’m Kokona.

.
.
.
Ah, I’m PUS Investigator Michele Lee~
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
So you’re PUS…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
And you’re from…
.
.
.
.
Speaking of, this round of selections is very strict…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Even our non-examination fights are being evaluated.
You need to be ready if you’re holding a weapon, as your performance will be automatically scored and reported.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I was thinking of doing a little bit of practice before the examination started, but you can lose points if you’re not careful.
Basically, it all hinges on your on-the-spot performance…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
So treat everything in life as a test...you have to pay attention to a person’s character~
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The goal of Blue Parasol is to select members of an elite squad, which will likely carry out confidential missions.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
So…they definitely want “trustworthy people!”
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Indeed…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
You know a lot of stuff, Kokona!
You understand Painting Utopia’s selection criteria even better than when I was working in PUS…
.
.
.
.
.
.
Really? Ha ha…
.
.
.
.
.
.
For someone like me with no organization and no one to rely on, information is life!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I also want to know more about the other contestants…
At least then I’ll be prepared for the simulated battles…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

Ah!

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

You’re…
The one who participated in the recent individual combat exercise!

Something the matter?

Urbino
Fuchsia
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Hi!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Hello, Fuchsia.
.
.
.
.
What!? You already know each other?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Um, yeah we’ve met. After all, we’re all Urbino members.
.
.
.
.
Ah, I didn't realize...
.
.
.
.
.
.
However, this is the first time that we’ve met, can you please give me some advice~
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Hello.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
So, is something the matter?
I’m not getting close to you just because you’re from Urbino.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Fuchsia~you can stop the cool act~
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Idiot! We’re competitors in this assessment…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Wait a minute! I have something to talk to you about!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I saw the recording of your fight. You guys are really good!
So I wanted to get information about your opponent…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Ah,
that person.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I don’t know her very well either. She was the one who challenged me,
And I think her name was…”Alaya.”
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Alaya…what’s her affiliation?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
She said she doesn’t have an affiliation. She’s certainly not from Urbino.
.
.
.
.
.
Right, I’ve never seen her before.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I don’t know all about her, but she’s very strong,
Even if I hate admitting that.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I’m a mercenary and assassin, and used to this kind of high-risk work.
If it’s just one person, I don’t lose to them.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
But I…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Utterly lost…
.
.
.
.I
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
So that’s how it is…Fuchsia’s strength is considered the best in all of Urbino.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Wow… she must be amazing then.
.
.
.
How come someone as powerful as her hasn’t been recruited by anyone yet?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
People like this are usually poached.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Maybe it’s because she prefers working independently over joining an organization?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
…it's also possible,
That she's hiding her affiliation…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Out of the people I’ve met so far, everyone’s either Urbino or has no affiliation…
According to what Captain Nobunaga said, I shouldn’t be the only PUS member here.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Moreover, where are The Scissors?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Although Blue Parasol was organized by Painting Utopia, members of The Scissors might not have wanted to join…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
But they’re also not going to just sit around…
Hm?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Huh? That person is…
.
.
.
.
.
Hm?
.
.
.
.
.
I don’t think we’ve seen them at the briefing venue…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
What person?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Huh, that’s strange…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Of course, besides the three major factions, unaffiliated civilians will also be observing.
There will probably be quite a few Urbino members, so try to build a good rapport with them.
One last note-
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Beware The Scissors.
