instructing him not to follow her in the car masachika is furious that he lost to a kid he insists it is impossible and that no one can defy him feeling humiliated for the first time he wants to kill auki and in frustration tears his shirt it turns out masachika is a woman she curses iuki and vows to make him take responsibility for it at the Jing headquarters the guards draw their guns in response to the screams questioning if it's an enemy attack another guard reassures them that the young lady is merely having a difficult time
and has been this way since the day she returned inside the room she's fuming with anger at being toyed by a high school boy she punches the wall bewildered by her own emotions she cannot get him out of her head after the incident at the library her chest constantly aching she finds it hard to breathe yet inexplicably feels a sense of comfort she dismisses it as nonsense asserting that as the hair to the Jing gang she shouldn't care about Ibuki she has conducted extensive research on him and vows to make him pay for what he
has done at the school Ibuki monitors the front entrance noting that there are no enemies in sight it has been some time since his battle with masachika jingu whom he regards as a heartless manipulator He is uncertain about his future actions but believes that being prepared will prevent him from failing he thinks it's prudent but toia disagrees when he asks what she is doing she tells him to accompany her she explains that ever since he encountered masachika his behavior has been disturbingly erratic she also reveals that the earpiece is not to be used at school
except in emergencies and questions what he would do if hono saw him Ibuki asserts that they can never predict when mascho will strike again Simo empathizes with his caution but warns that excessive preparedness can cause anxiety liking it to putting the car before the horse this High School the home of class 3 is equipped with numerous cameras that Miss nothing brutal traps to repel Intruders and 22 Elite students for Hano the high school of the sanctuary Ibuki is puzzled by The Mention Of 22 students and speculates that they don't include him he admits he doesn't
want to lose to masachika and is appalled by the idea of a brother killing his sister both t and suim clarify that masachika is a woman stunned he realizes his mistake and recoils suiko declares that he cannot trust abuki to escort anyone at the moment and orders him to rest abuki becomes Furious thinking it's Madness to exclude him at such a critical time since the class is controlled by the jingu gang they cannot fight the gang members so he as an outsider is the only one capable of opposing them lost in thought he sees hono
running toward him fleeing from others she hides behind him grabs him to make it appear as if she is restraining him and tells the others to run away they flee in fear she thanks him for his help and he asks what is happening she explains that ever since the start of golden week students have been constantly seeking her advice initially manageable the number of students increased exponentially he commenced that it must have been overwhelming if even the student council president ran away she agrees and recounts the kinds of questions people ask her he remarks that
their reliance on her shows their acceptance of her a stark contrast to his own experience of being shunned she acknowledges this saying that he is the only one she can confide in like this he blushes realizing that his true motivation is not about being recognized by class three or defeating masachika as shikimo had said he had been putting the cart before the horse as a bodyguard it's because Ono accepts him that he is willing to risk his life for her the teachers find them and instruct Ibuki to leave her he retorts that she is responsible
for the situation and she assures him she will handle it urging him to run he flees struggling to navigate the situation without causing trouble he steps on something noticing it is a piece of lens with many scattered around realizing the surveillance cameras are destroyed he tries to inform the team but his phone is destroyed stunned he sees that masachika shot it she details his personal information he is a student in class 3 to 4 born on August 10 with blood type A weak in physics and math and in love with hono he is bewildered by
how they infiltrated and disabled all the traps and cameras suspecting a traitor he curses suiko realizing the sanctuary is a facade he asks who hono aaban is and why she said he loves her she insists he cannot deceive her citing a trusted Source she states he likes hono then questions her own declaration feeling all sorts of flustered and torn by his emotions he adamantly insists that he has zero feeling for hono masachika recognizes her feelings and decides she must kill hono akab Ibuki grabs a fire extinguisher declaring he won't allow it he sprays them and
escapes reporting to the team that masachika and her gang have breached the first floor training building unable to stop them alone he warns they will soon reach the class Wing he implores the team to protect her vowing not to forgive them if they fail the team is shocked and suim insists they cannot assist him when ibuk demands an explanation suim explains that any suspicious Behavior would expose them and they cannot move now that class has started he promises they will come to his Aid when the next class Bell Rings asking Ibuki to hold out for
50 minutes Simo tells arini that he is their only hope and urges him not to run away reminding him he initiated the conflict with masachika he must face this challenge alone the gang finds him and masachika declares her intent to kill h cavan and make Ibuki her husband she comes to grips with the intensity of her emotions and starts feeling anxious Ibuki is left dumbfounded with his mouth wide open poor lad is caught in the middle of a love triangle in class hono wonders how far he has run away the teacher informs the students that
he will be testing them while kagura monitors the situation through the cameras he asks himo if he's sure about this pointing out that abuki can't handle that many Hitman on his own He suggests that even if hono finds it slightly suspicious they should still take action so himiko tells him to quiet down insisting that none of them need to move because eriny will be fine on his own meanwhile masachika orders her Hitman to hurry and take down Ibuki emphasizing that their target is Hano and instructing them to destroy all the cameras to avoid trouble with
her father suim observes that The Intruders have completely figured out the cameras and traps indicating a well-planned Invasion intended to avoid causing a ruckus he tells Ibuki that it's good news since there are no classes on the first floor of the training building permitting him to go as wild as he wants Ibuki rorts that it's not good news as he has 50 minutes until the next chime and needs to keep blocking the attackers he tells suumo to shut up and let him concentrate so himo advises him to stay calm assuring him that he will be
fine and that he as the commander will lead him to Victory Ibuki runs away and the Hitman remarked that he has been a stubborn brat for a while now but will soon reach his limits they all attack him simultaneously and suim instructs him to kick the door 8 m ahead Ibuki kicks it releasing tables and furniture that entrap the Hitman suim reveals that there are many empty classrooms in the training building equipped with traps that activate with special devices since the enemy won't activate them iuki must do it himself he activates some traps while running
and snaring the Hitman masachika is irritated by his tricks and kagara tells Simo that stalling won't help him Simo agrees but explains that the time they are buying helps narrow the Gap and by utilizing the traps The Hitman cannot maintain formation this creates a series of one to one confrontations which is ibuki's domain Ibuki punches a Hitman taking him down and is Amazed by Sim's instructions that have turned the battle in his favor masachika is annoyed unable to believe that auki a mere kid is causing so much trouble The Hitman are wildered by his transformation
Ibuki is pleased thinking he can now easily endure the 50 minutes but he lets his guard down and gets attacked by reinforcements they all watch him through the cameras noting he still has 40 minutes to go as the situation worsens kagara unable to stand it declares that he is going but Simo tells him that not believing in arimi is equivalent to not believing in him the decision maker hagara demands evidence to convince him that Ibuki can handle it so him asserts that entrusting this task to Ibuki is evidence enough hono inquires if something is wrong
and suim reassures her that it's nothing continuing to watch the battle Ibuki overwhelmed feels that he will lose suddenly he starts to fight back shocking everyone he tells the Hitman to come at him together indifferent to the outcome despite knowing he will lose they cannot stop watching the teacher notices that the entire class is using their phones and wonders if his lesson is truly that boring Ibuki reaches the end of the building realizing that if the Hitman breach this point they will reach the classroom Wing he vows not to let them touch acaben even if
it kills him masachika orders the Hitman to back off frustrated by the effort she has to exert and questions why an outsider like Ibuki is involved and what makes aaban so special she points a gun at Ibuki telling him to choose her and forget about acaben offering him his last chance to marry her she urges him not to embarrass her calling it a once in a-lifetime Opportunity Ibuki retorts that acaben is 10 million times more his type and declines her offer cursing her she lowers her gun and orders the Hitman to kill him and throw
him into the ocean not wanting to see his face again all the Hitman charge at him but help arise in time kagera is surprised that iuki endured 50 minutes alone sumiko commends him for doing well the Hitman attempt to flee as they realize they are surrounded the team members Express their relief but reminded Bui that without suim's guidance he would have died instantly Ibuki curses them telling them they should understand how much he risked for them they assure him that they will now show him how it's done and address iuki as the 23rd member telling
him to watch their Counterattack suim notifies them that no one must know about this fight and they need to clean up everything and return to class before break time ends they have 10 minutes the team charges at the Hitman and quickly takes care of them suim laughs because it didn't even take them minute iuki is Amazed by their skills and realizes he has no time to sit back so he quickly tries to leave Simo asks where he is going and he reveals that he is going to settle things with masachika he is tired of falling
behind and vows never to let her get her hands on hono he is determined to catch her they all scold him telling him not to give them any more trouble reminding him that it all happened because he provoked her they ask what he will do if he catches her so himo tells everyone to calm down and reveals that abuki approves of them despite that he is going alone and suiko is sure that abuki will step into territories they cannot enter he tosses auki a card and kagera declares him an official member of their crew but

to so that aaban can laugh and smile the boss commends ibuki's courage noting that few members possess such brazenness he takes out his gun agreeing with Ibuki that he needs to let go of his parental affection Ibuki tells him to stop of the boss shoots Ibuki questions who kills their own daughter the boss reveals he shot the gang's emblem he tells her that she is exiled and should never show her face again she trembles and pleads but he declares he has no daughters and leaves masachika trembles and screams that there is no way she is

woman she resolves to behave herself blushing at the thought of living together Ibuki calls her by her first name telling her she no longer needs to Target EAB with a calm but determined tone he asks her to reveal the traitor within class 3 she pauses her emotions conflicted but decides to reveal a Name the members of class 3 are shocked by the news that masachi a jingu has been exiled he explains to them that acaban will no longer be targeted by Hitman despite this they all appear displeased which confuses him prompting him to ask about
their reaction they are discontented because he has stolen the Limelight from them which he thought they had accepted they all leave dissatisfied The Hitman threat is now gone and Ibuki just needs to catch the traitor who betrayed aaban masachika shows him the messages from the traitor revealing that she received this message three months ago and became aware of hano's existence they never responded to her messages but after seeing this message she was convinced of their seriousness he is shocked by the messages and she tells him the name of the traitor back in the present Ibuki
suggests to Simo that they should work together to guard her today he agrees Simo is the commander of class 3 while abuki is still an amateur yet he keeps pushing important roles onto him if all of this was to influence the Hitman to kill hono then he will not forgive him aaban is guarded 24 hours a day on the road to school around her house and at her travel destinations and this will not change until she graduates today her route is her path home and if she goes straight it will not be a problem and
will not take long she helps many people on her way which annoys him the coast is clear from everyone's side and with the Hitman gone the area seems completely safe so himiko asks sabuki if he wants to talk to him because he has had that look on his face the whole time he asks if he has known the guys from class three for long and he replies that he is right and they have known each other for 10 years he is stunned and reveals that they are also like childhood friends he rejects the idea and
says that they are more like a family he tells him that it's a bit embarrassing for him so he shouldn't tell others Ibuki grabs him and asks why he has betrayed them he stands there in awe flashing a grin as he confesses to being busted byi FES at his audacity to one up and that everything he said was a lie he asks what hono means to him and he straightens himself and reveals that no matter when where or who tries to kill her he doesn't care from the bottom of his heart he asks iuki what
he will do to him and if he wants to hang him in front of everyone Ibuki explains that he will beat him first and then make him surrender in front of the boss and that's what he will do shimo Chuckles telling him he's far too kind for his own good with a quick punch he knocks him off balance and apologizes explaining that they don't have time for a chat their ride has just arrived in some building Ibuki is tied up and another guy asks Simo what is up with him Soo reveals that he just roughed
him up a little the guy says that this means he has been exposed as a spy suiko reveals that he won't help them get rid of him unless they pay him for it Ibuki wakes up remembering that just a few minutes ago he was talking to sugiko sugiko greets him and welcomes him to hell but he is joking Ibuki wonders if this is their Hideout the boss asks where akabane is right now and Simo says that she went to play with her friends the guy last saying that she is so Carefree that she doesn't even
realize that her life is in danger so kamiko asks about the people behind them and the guy says that they are soldiers he has gathered from all over the country a group of elite men he says that masachika just threw money around so she ended up losing and when it comes to Hitman quality is better than quantity abuki notices that the atmosphere is different from the Third Rate ones he has seen he is angry because masachika wasn't good enough so he is trying to get someone else to Target EAB Ben the other guy asks his
brother about iuki and he says that he thought Ibuki was the informant he hired to infiltrate the school he says that he is wrong and the informant he sent was 50 years old Simo shows them a picture and asks if they are talking about this guy he had heard that a new teacher was hired recently so he decided to say hello the teacher told him that he was going to meet them at the place they just left suim mentions that within the gang they are the oami faction and they all take out their weapons abruptly
Ibuki manages to break free and delivers a swift kick to one of the them right in the face the group is left dumbfounded that he was able to escape from the ropes all on his own Simo being The Mastermind he is casually remarks that it's about time Ibuki got to move on the guy is shocked to learn that they are actually Hon's bodyguards Ibuki feeling a bit confused questions if they are not Partners suim quickly shuts that idea down stating it's far from the truth Ibuki then accuses him of being the traitor who told about
a cabinet to the gang leading to masika's vengeful AC suim in turn denies any involvement and clarifies that he simply believes risking his life to protect acaben isn't worth it he points out that while everyone else is giving their all he feels like he's betraying them by not doing the same this Revelation leaves Ibuki stunned he erupts in frustration yelling that Simo should have been upfront about his intentions from the start he calmly explains that he did in fact communicate his thoughts clearly then abuki inquires about the email suim Co sent to masachika only to
find out he's been bamboozled by an impostor the poor guy is feeling blue to make matters worse he swiftly kicks Ibuki shoving him into cover just as gunfire rups around them Simo evades the shots by jumping before cozying up with the boss startling him Ibuki gets up and asks if shimo is on his team he reassures him Ibuki suggests they swiftly take down the bad guys before chatting Sim kad's in agreement two years ago two gangsters cornered a a kid aggressively demanding his wallet and threatening him with violence as a student at suuji school he
should be carrying plenty of pocket money sumiko realizing he's in a precarious situation knows he can't make a scene without attracting unwanted attention which could make things worse just then Ibuki bursts onto the scene with a fierce expression smashing the gangsters heads together and throwing them to the ground with remarkable Force he approaches to Miko introducing himself as a fellow student in the same year noting that sumiko is already in trouble so early in the school year Ibuki offers his hand to help sumiko overwhelmed pulls back saying he has no money to give ibuki's frustration
boils over he curses sumiko as a scolding him for his weak demeanor that attracts troublemakers like these gangsters iuki insists that sumiko needs to stand up for himself and hold his head high to help him iuki thrusts a pair of earrings into sumo's hands claiming that these will make him look more respectable and ward off future trouble sumiko skeptical worries that the earrings will only make him stand out more but reluctantly accepts them suddenly aapan arrives running toward them and scolding at Bui for getting into yet another fight despite his promise to stop fighting once

which is why they decided to test him however he's just an inexperienced kid it Uki infuriated demands to know what they're doing one of the men suggests they should eliminate suim now but another interrupts it will endanger their boss since this kid is strategically positioning himself as a distraction iuki remains baffled by the ongoing attempts on acab Ben's life while a gangster shouts at sumiko demanding he release his brother and questioning whether he realizes the consequences he calmly explains that although he is part of the Jing gang which would deal severely with anyone harming the
head family's m members iuki is merely an outsider retaliating against class 3 for the actions of an outsider would publicly expose their intention to Target aaban making it a declaration of war the gangster enraged accuses sumihiko of deliberately orchestrating this situation calling him a bastard and questioning whether he is trying to make the gang his enemy sumiko smirks stating that he already has a family he values deeply a family of 21 members now this family is at risk for the sake of a a single girl he would prefer to ensure their safety and suggests that
