35F - Hell Train: Revolution Road
Princess Repelista is seen at her 123rd Floor villa playing video-games while being watched over by her Guide, Alumik. Shortly after, Princess Yuri and her Guide, Evan, stop by said villa due to Repelista having sent her a Pocket message that she has something to give to Yuri. However, Repelista has a bit of fun having set up a bunch of robot guards outside the villa to block their way, which forces Yuri to fight through them.
After disposing of the robots, Yuri goes through the villa window to toy with Repelista for the guard stunt. Meanwhile, Evan meets with Alumik in order to question the latter as to why he's using a dead boy (Bam) as bait to lead Yuri down a certain path. Repelista then gets to the point as to why she called for Yuri to meet her, which she provides Yuri with an Express Ticket for the Hell Train as thanks for holding up her end of the deal (providing Repelista with a baby Zigena). Yuri remains confused as to why she's being given a ticket for the D-rank area's Hell Train, which Repelista reveals that the boy she's looking for will appear there one year from now.
Yuri's left stunned upon learning that Bam's still alive, but despite wanting to see him again at the Hell Train, she questions how she's supposed to get in when she's a Ranker, and the Hell Train only allows D-rank Regulars. However, Repelista assures her that she knows a way for a Ranker to break in, and starts to explain it. Meanwhile, Evan tries to convince Alumik to stop having Yuri chase after a normal boy who's been dead for years. However, Alumik counters back that Evan doesn't understand the situation. That there's no way that Bam's dead given that said boy's an Irregular. Alumik advises Evan to see what Bam's truly capable of with his own eyes, which Yuri then appears to drag Evan away to go on a new adventure.
Outside the villa, Evan questions why Yuri's in such a hurry, which she reveals to him that Bam's alive. Evan finds it hard to believe, but Yuri states her theory that the Floor of Tests must have been manipulated in a way to make Bam disappear from the limelight. In return, Evan points out that such a case could only happen if the 2nd Floor Test Director, Yu Hansung, was a traitor who approved for such a scheme to happen. He asks if this means that they're going back to the 2nd Floor, but Yuri reveals that they're actually going to the Hell Train since Repelista told her that she will find Bam there. She claims that she will see Bam to learn the truth as to what happened. As a result, Evan's forced to follow along while thinking over how it must be fate for Yuri to meet with Bam again.
One year later on the 35th Floor, a train is seen traveling along a track towards Train City. Many D-rank Regulars are on board with their eyes set on making it to the Hell Train, and a pink-haired train stewardess is seen going around providing them drinks. A train broadcast is heard of how the famous D-rank idol, Ha Yura, will be holding a concert at Train City, and amongst the Regulars sitting in train seats is a group of three D-rank Regulars: a shinsu martial arts expert named Boro, and his two students, Hanool Kang and Felix. Boro happens to be an Express Ticket holder, which they discuss how to gather other tickets for the Hell Train, such as facing off against the dreaded Sachi Faker, or possibly running into Jue Viole Grace, who disappeared after the Workshop Battle. However, Boro warns him not to discuss tickets while others are watching. It's at this point that a blue lizardman Regular enters their train compartment. Seeing that the lizardman has two Express Tickets, Boro realizes that a dangerous Ticket Hunter has appeared.
As the blue lizardman Ticket Hunter walks down the train compartment, Boro's left worrying about getting his two rookie students, Hanool and Felix, involved. Thus, once the Ticked Hunter passes by them, he orders for Hanool to get him a drink. Hanool heads out of the compartment to get the drink, which gets him to safety, but before Boro could get Felix out, it's at this point that the blue lizardman is seen typing on a handheld terminal. Something written on the terminal catches the Ticket Hunter's attention, which he turns to Boro and attacks the latter with his needle weapon. However, Boro manages to block the attack with his own needle while questioning how the Ticket Hunter knew that he was holding an Express Ticket.
The blue lizardman refuses to answer as Felix stands up ready to fight alongside Boro. However, Felix gets knocked out by a blast of shinsu from the Ticket Hunter's needle, who announces that he will make the top-10 ticket holders kneel before him. Boro's left irritated that the rookie Ticket Hunter before him doesn't understand just how powerful the top Express Ticket holders actually are as they engage in close-combat with their needles. Eventually, Boro manages to get in close to the blue lizardman, and kills the Ticket Hunter by cutting him in half. Boro loots the two Express Tickets off the dead Ticket Hunter; bringing his total to three. He also finds the Ticket Hunter's handheld terminal, which turns out to be the Emily chatting bot (upgraded to Version 1.4). Not knowing what Emily is, Boro's left questioning what's going on.
Investigating the dead Ticket Hunter's Emily terminal, Boro thinks over how he's not used to such tech, but he's left shocked by what he's seeing in its chat messages. That the Ticket Hunter was asking Emily where the Express Ticket holders are, and she answered with Boro's location. Boro also sees an announcement message left on the Emily terminal where she states that a team-battle tournament for Express Tickets will be held within Train City's testing center. It's at this point that Hanool returns to Boro's train compartment, but without the drink as it turns out that someone's making a mess in another train compartment. Boro and Hanool head off to the other train compartment to investigate said attacker. There, they find Bam standing amongst many D-Rank Regulars lying on the floor that he defeated along with the pink-haired train stewardess that was providing drinks down on her knees since she got caught up in the mess.
Meanwhile on another train headed for Train City, Team Nobic (Nobic, Ran, Sia, Dan, and Beta) is seen having killed the D-rank passengers since they were attacked over the hunt for Express Tickets. Ran wraps up clearing out his train compartment while Beta shows that he already cleared out his train car. However, Beta remains impatient as he only wants to fight Cassano, which Ran reminds him that they still got three days before the Hell Train leaves, so the ticket hunt comes first. Nobic, Sia, and Dan then reunite with Ran and Beta to inform the group that the train cars are cleared out on their end. They hold a meeting to discuss the work they've done in the ticket hunt, which due to how tough it is to gather Express Tickets, they've only managed to obtain three so far. They also note the oddity of how the Emily server seems to have suddenly come back online, along with her announcement for the Train City tournament. Thus, they decide to take part in the tournament knowing that Cassano is involved with it given his connection to Emily.
Back to Boro's train, Boro and Hanool remain standing before Bam. Boro asks who Bam is, which Bam asks in return if they have Express Tickets. Bam explains that he's looking for teammates to enter the Train City tournament, which catches the attention of Boro, Hanool, and the pink-haired stewardess.
Boro and Hanool remain confused as to what's going on, which Bam shows them his Emily terminal to remind them of the message that Emily sent regarding the Train City tournament that will go down three days from now. Bam and company explain to Boro how the Emily chatting bot works, which Boro starts to understand what's going on. However, he remains unconvinced to join Bam given that they don't know one another. In return, Bam states that it's because they're aim is the Hell Train like him, which confuses Boro and company further. Bam warns that it's because they need to stop a certain group, or else everyone on the Hell Train is going to die.
Meanwhile on Team Nobic's train, they continue to discuss their path forward to reach the Hell Train. Dan voices his disagreement in the plan to take part in the Train City tournament since it sounds like an obvious trap set up by Cassano. However, Ran desires to go through with it anyway since the enemy doesn't know what Team Nobic's capable of. They send a message over Sia's Lighthouse to Khun for his opinion on this, but Khun advises them to go on ahead as his team's arrival at Train City is going to be a day late. Ran agrees with going on ahead since their goal is just to deal with Cassano, but Dan remains suspicious that something else is going on. That there's more danger behind-the-scenes than just Cassano and Emily. It's at this point that the announcement is made on Team Nobic's train that they'll soon be arriving at Train City.
Back to Bam's train, Bam explains the enemy's plan to Boro, Hanool, and the pink-haired stewardess. That the enemy is using Emily to round up all the Express Ticket holders at the Train City tournament in order to take all the tickets. All to take over the Hell Train for themselves. Boro finds such a story hard to believe, which he asks who this "enemy" is that Bam keeps speaking of. In return, Bam answers that the enemy hiding behind Emily is Rachel. He explains to Boro how Rachel is a girl who pushed him into FUG, and was a longtime friend who might now be his enemy.
At that same time on another train, the stick-biter from Team Rachel is seen clearing out his train of its D-rank Regulars, which he managed to claim an Express Ticket for himself. He talks with someone over his Pocket how the plan is going well so far, and that they're soon to meet their "old friends" again. The stick-biter then tells the person on the other end to inform Rachel that he will catch up soon while mentioning to himself how the Train City tournament is going to be fun. The train announcement is then made that they will be arriving soon at Train City.
After hearing Bam's warning about the danger that Rachel poses, Boro notes how he's never heard of Rachel before. In return, Bam explains that it's because she just became a D-rank. Boro finds the story even more hard to believe due to how difficult it will be for a newcomer D-rank Regular to take over the Hell Train, let alone, just getting one of the Express Tickets. However, Bam states that it's possible given that Rachel is backed by FUG, which catches Boro's attention.
Thinking things over wondering why FUG would be interested in the Hell Train, Boro agrees to join forces with Bam, but only under the condition that he chooses their other teammates, which Bam accepts. Since Boro has three Express Tickets, one of which is for himself, he provides the second to Hanool while the pink-haired stewardess will take the third given that Felix was injured in the fight against the Ticket Hunter. Excited to join the group, the pink-haired stewardess follows along as Bam's new group begin walking back to Boro's original train seat. During the walk, Boro asks how Bam knows about the connection between Rachel, Emily, FUG, and the Train City tournament, which Bam reveals that he has a teammate in FUG.
A flashback is seen during the time when Bam was climbing the Tower alongside Hwaryun and Rak following the Workshop Battle. During a meeting with Hwaryun, she congratulates Bam for becoming a D-rank, and also reveals some crucial information to him. That there will be a tournament held at Train City, and that FUG knows about Bam's goal to board the Hell Train. In addition, that FUG will go to great lengths to stop Bam that even FUG Slayer Karaka might get involved. She also reveals that Rachel will be there, which catches Bam's attention. Hwaryun warns that she doesn't know why Rachel is aiming for the Hell Train, but she advises for Bam to gather up a new team during one of the train rides to Train City, and that she'll be waiting for him once he arrives.
In the present, Bam and company arrive back at Boro's original train seat only to see two D-rank Regulars currently kicking at the unconscious Felix, and that they took the Express Tickets that Boro left at his seat. As a result, Boro orders for his student, Hanool, to attack them to prove that he's capable of being an Express Ticket holder. Hanool agrees and charges forward, but the two D-rank Regulars easily overpower him. As a result, Boro remains unconvinced that they will do well in the tournament due to how weak Hanool is, but Bam doesn't mind it. That Boro and company will just have to focus on the weaker Regulars while Bam takes on the Regulars from FUG. Impressed by Bam's display of confidence, Boro accepts going to Train City.
At that same time, another train is seen heading towards Train City. The specialized train car of the idol, Ha Yura, being at the head of the train. As the announcement is heard about the upcoming Train City tournament, Yura remains within her train car getting herself ready for her arrival there. She calls the public a bunch of idiots while looking at a picture of Bam in an envelope that houses her Express Ticket for the Hell Train. Yura claims that Bam is an idiot as well, and states that she will see him soon.
Bam, Boro, Hanool, and the pink-haired stewardess remain in their train seats for their arrival at Train City after they disposed of the D-rank Regulars that were attacking the unconscious Felix. Having been patched up from her injury to the Ticket Hunter, Felix eventually awakens, which she remains confused as to what's going on given that their group's gained two newcomers. Boro then goes about explaining Bam's story to her. However, he also provides the bad news to Felix that she can't take part in the tournament given that she's currently injured, which Felix accepts. The pink-haired stewardess then introduces herself to the group as Hana Yu, a D-rank Regular that's aspiring to be an idol. Thus, she hopes to see the famous idol, Ha Yura, at Train City, which she explains to Bam and company that Yura will be holding a concert there. Eventually, Bam's group arrives at the 35th Floor's Train City. They get off at the train station, which they come across one of Train City's main elevators.
Meanwhile, Team Nobic is seen having also arrived at Train City. They come across one of train station's main elevators, which they see on the elevator's buttons that Train City is made up of seven floors: the Train Stations (Floor 0), Entrance (Floor 1), Residence (Floor 2), Restaurant (Floor 3), Stadium (Floor 4), Control Center (Floor 5), and Skyscraper (Floor 6). Team Nobic discuss their belief that the tournament must be taking place at the Stadium, but given that they still got a day before said tournament, Sia suggests that they take up Residence for the time being only for Beta to complain that they should be going after Cassano. Nobic figures that he would rather eat at the Restaurant first, but Ran ignores everyone and presses the button to go to Floor 1's Entrance, which is the entrance to reach the Hell Train's boarding platform.
At that same time, Team Bam remains in front of their elevator discussing where they should go in Train City since they got a day left before the tournament. Hana suggests the Skyscraper to see the view, but Bam suggests Residence in order to meet the FUG teammates he mentioned. Bam also asks about the Entrance, but Boro advises not to take it since the "Guardians" there will be blocking their way. Meanwhile, Team Nobic is seen arriving at Floor 1's Entrance where they come across one of said Guardians. Back to Bam's group, Boro figures that their first objective should be to meet with Bam's friends, which he presses the elevator button for Floor 2's Residence.
Team Bam rides up the Train City elevator to Floor 2's Residence, but they're forced to wait at Floor 1's Entrance before it starts moving again. The group discusses their current objectives during the ride, such as Felix's injury worsening, and Bam's belief that his FUG teammate wouldn't get lost at Train City (given that Hwaryun's a Guide). Bam then asks Boro about Train City's Guardians, which Boro states that their primary function is to protect and guard the city. One of which is to guard the Floor 1 Entrance to keep Regulars from reaching the Hell Train's boarding platform before the appropriate time to board.
At that same time, Team Nobic comes across one of said Guardians sitting in front of a large closed gate at the Floor 1 Entrance. The team wonders what it is they're looking at until the being stands up and orders Team Nobic to go back as it's not the appropriate time for the door to open. Nobic realizes that they're dealing with some sort of gatekeeper, which Ran doesn't back away, and asks for said gatekeeper to step aside. In return, the gatekeeper creates a floating spear ready to attack Team Nobic in order to force them to leave.
Back to Team Bam, they're still waiting for the elevator to start moving again from Floor 1's Entrance, which Boro asks Bam questions about the connection between Rachel and FUG. He asks if this means that Bam safely got away from FUG despite Rachel being allied with them, which Bam admits is the truth. Bam then asks in return why Boro's interested in FUG, which Boro answers that he had a run-in with them during his first Hell Train trip. Boro then asks why Rachel's going so far as to team up with FUG, which Bam answers that it's because Rachel has a lot of goals she wants to take care of. At this point, the elevator's finally moving again towards Floor 2's Residence.
Another flashback occurs moments after Hwaryun told Bam to make a new team for the Train City tournament. Bam remains confused as to why he needs a new team when he already has his current friends, which Hwaryun answers that he needs allies different than friends. That he needs teammates that he would be willing to abandon without hesitation. Hwaryun warns Bam that he needs to be prepared, because the path she's seeing for Bam's Hell Train journey has many of his friends dying. Meanwhile in the present, Team Bam's elevator has reached Floor 2's Residence.
Meanwhile at Team Nobic, they question what they're going to do given that the Entrance gatekeeper is set to attack them. Ran announces that he will attack, but the gatekeeper launches its spear towards them, which splits into many smaller shinsu Bangs to kill all of Team Nobic at once. Sia shields the team with her Lighthouse field, which Ran then jumps to the platform between his team and the gatekeeper. Having already powered up by eating his lightning shinsu Bang, Ran stands ready to fight the gatekeeper himself.
Team Bam exits the Train City elevator out into Floor 2's Residence area where they find many other D-Rank Regulars waiting on standby. As they walk in, Boro explains that it takes having an Express Ticket to secure a room at the Residence. Thus, the many Regulars are waiting outside in order to steal away Express Tickets from those who have them. Boro figures that the moment the enemy Regulars will try to pounce them, or try to force their way into the team, is when they have to pull out an Express Ticket to unlock a room, which will give away that they're ticket holders. He then asks what room Bam's friend is at, which Bam sees Hwaryun's message on his Pocket that it's Room 52.
It's at this point that a blue-skinned Regular comes up to Hana, and asks her to pledge allegiance to Sir Aka. However, Boro orders him to get lost, which the blue-skinned Regular leaves as he seems to know Boro, and that Boro and Aka know each other from the past. Team Bam then continues on towards Room 52, which the idol, Yura, can be seen arriving in the Residence area. Once Team Bam reaches the locked door into Room 52, many of the waiting D-Rank Regulars appear ready to attack them.
At that same time, the powered up lightning pill Ran stands ready to fight the gatekeeper at Floor 1's Entrance. The team discusses Ran's intentions, which Dan figures that Ran's aiming bear the responsibility of taking out the enemy himself so that everyone else still has all their strength for the tournament. Ran claims that he will get the gatekeeper to take him seriously, but said gatekeeper remains unfazed knowing that Bam's just a newcomer to D-rank, and just fires another single spear at Ran, which explodes on the latter.
Back at Floor 2's Residence area, many D-rank Regulars are left lying on the floor. Bam's teammates are shocked by what they witnessed as it turns out that Bam was strong enough to instantly defeat all the D-rank Regulars by himself. The few D-ranks that are still standing run away as the door to Room 52 opens up. Coming out to greet Team Bam is Hwaryun and Rak, which Hwaryun calls out Bam for bringing troublesome guests and arriving late.
Meanwhile at the train station to enter Train City, Team Rachel (Rachel, Cassano, Traveller, and two other cloaked figures) are seen getting off the train to enter said city.
Upon arriving at Train City, Team Rachel makes their way over to the main elevator. They discuss where to go first, which the female newcomer with long orange hair appears to be hungry while Cassano just wants to get to the Hell Train and achieve his goal. The female orange-haired teammate asks if their stick-biter teammate is here yet, but their Pocket shows no contact with him. Rachel then asks Emily if "she's" here yet. Emily answers yes, which gets Rachel excited. They then click an elevator button to go somewhere in Train City.
Meanwhile at Floor 1's Entrance, Team Nobic watches as Ran is shown to have dodged the gatekeeper's spear attack by hiding himself within his black smoke cloud. He then appears out of it ready to throw one of his lightning spears at the gatekeeper while thinking about how he trained to get stronger in order to not have to walk away disgracefully again, like he did when he had to walk away from Anaak and Cassano because he couldn't fully defeat them. The massive spear explodes upon the gatekeeper, but it's shown to have no effect on the being, who prepares to fire more spears towards Ran. The latter prepares to use an even more powerful lightning attack that Ran was hoping to save for later, but before he uses it, a hooded figure appears out of the elevator. Said hooded figure, who turns out to be the stick-biter of Team Rachel, jumps in the way of the gatekeeper's attack to use an ability that absorbs said attack. With Ran now safe, the stick-biter states how surprising it is that there's someone out here willing to face Train City's Mirotic Guardian, and admits that there's some promising D-rank rookies this year.
At that same time within Floor 2's Residence, Team Bam enters Hwaryun's Room 52, which the injured Felix is put on a couch for her to rest. Boro notes that nothing about the Residence area appears to have changed since the last two times he boarded the Hell Train. Turning his attention to Hwaryun, Boro states that he has some questions for her given that she's a FUG member. However, Hwaryun states that the questions will have to wait as it turns out that a certain group (Team Rachel) has finally arrived, and that it appears that a game's about to begin. Moments after, an announcement is made to each of the Residence rooms that they're going to start a game.
From within Hwaryun's Room 52, Bam and company listen in on the announcement of a game on Floor 2's Residence level known as "The Last Seven." The rules are basically a last-man-standing game where the group of Regulars waiting on the Residence level who don't have Express Tickets battle it out until only seven remain, which these seven are to be given special Boarding Passes to board the Hell Train. In addition, Regulars who already have Express Tickets can join in. Suddenly, a massive brawl breaks out amongst the many D-rank Regulars stationed outside the Residence rooms.
The blue-skinned Regular of Sir Aka's team is seen with his teammate, Mahan, off on the side watching the brawl go down amongst the D-rank Regulars taking part in the Last Seven game. Waiting to see if any of them are worth recruiting for Aka, the blue-skinned Regular remains interested in the powerful boy (Bam) that Boro seems to have recruited. Meanwhile, Ha Yura is seen exiting out of her Residence room aiming to join the brawl, and the blue-skinned Regular spots a noteworthy sword-user amongst the brawlers. Watching the brawl from Room 52, Boro questions Hwaryun what's going on, which she reveals to him her Guide status. She explains that FUG seems to be after something on the Hell Train since they've set up the Last Seven game and the Train City tournament in such a way that the number of Regulars who could potentially get in their way are being drastically reduced. Thus, Boro's left wondering if a certain event on the Hell Train is happening again.
Hana questions how this isn't corruption since FUG is intervening with the Hell Train, but Hwaryun reminds them that it's FUG. That they'll do anything to achieve their goals. As a result, Hwaryun makes it clear to Boro and company that the latter needs to cooperate with them if they truly want to board the Hell Train despite FUG's intervention. Going along with it, Boro asks who their current enemies are, which Hwaryun answers that said enemy is a group recently promoted up from E-rank (Rachel's team), and that there's apparently a D-rank Express Ticket holder who's chosen to side with said enemy. It's at this point that Yura is seen approaching everyone fighting in the Last Seven brawl, which catches everyone's attention. Calling out the brawl as cruel, Yura offers for the brawlers to join her team. Hana realizing that they're witnessing the famous D-rank idol that she told the group about.
Meanwhile at Floor 1's Entrance, the gatekeeper, the Mirotic Guardian, has stopped attacking due to the stick-biter's interference. Team Nobic questions who the newcomer is, which the stick-biter of Team Rachel introduces himself as Daniel Hatchid, and praises Ran knowing that he's a powerful rookie of the Khun family. Daniel explains how the Mirotic Guardian is Train City's defensive system that protects the entrance to the Hell Train from those who try to board before it's the appropriate time, and that its signature move is a powerful illusion skill. He assures Team Nobic that the Mirotic Guardian will disappear once it's the right time to board the train, and advises everyone to instead go to the Residence level to prepare for tomorrow's tournament. Daniel warns that he will be joining the tournament as well.
Due to Yura's team-up offer, the Residence level's Last Seven game stalls at eight remaining brawlers, including the sword-user that Aka's blue subordinate noticed. Hana and company remain confused as to why Yura's here rather than the Train City concert that was being hyped up. In return, Yura reveals that she's decided to quit being an idol in order to board the Hell Train, much to everyone's shock. She explains that there's a certain item she desires to have that can be found on the Hell Train, and even has a spare Express Ticket to take eight people while the remaining seven would have the Last Seven games' Boarding Passes. Thinking it over, the eight brawlers all agree to join Yura's team. Meanwhile, the blue-skinned Regular from Aka's team takes note of Yura since she giving off a similar vibe to his boss.
Hana gets excited at the thought of Yura joining the Hell Train journey, but Boro isn't as convinced since Yura's team is now another strong enemy that they will have to fight. The Last Seven game is announced to have ended due to the remaining brawlers joining up with Yura, which Boro asks Hwaryun if it's now the right time to talk with her. Bam leaves the room to not butt in on Boro's private conversation, which Rak notes that Bam seems to have something on his mind. Boro figures that it has to do with his friend, Rachel, being involved in this. Knowing what Boro wants to talk about, she asks Boro about his past encounter with FUG. In return, Boro explains about how he encountered FUG during a previous Hell Train trip. That he has an idea as to what it is that FUG is now currently after.
Meanwhile at the 1st Floor's Entrance, Ran remains disinterested in the Train City tournament, but Daniel states that he should be since he's capable of destroying Ran and company. Since he's taking part in the tournament, Daniel warns Team Nobic that they have no chance of defeating him to win said tournament's Express Tickets, which angers Team Nobic. Ran powers up ready to face Daniel this very moment, but Daniel easily walks by him without being noticed, which shocks Team Nobic as they're unable to understand how Daniel was so fast. Heading back into the elevator to leave, Daniel leaves off with some final words stating that he will be waiting for Team Nobic at the tournament.
Back at Room 52, Bam sits alone in the bedroom. He thinks back to the moment that he split up from Hwaryun and Rak to make his own Hell Train team. Stating that their next rendezvous point will be Train City, Hwaryun gives Bam some last minute advice not to reveal his identity as Jue Viole Grace, and that three is a good number of teammates to find. Hwaryun also warns Bam that his journey won't end since it's a mystery what FUG's after on the Hell Train, and that if Bam wants to stand tall before Rachel, he not only needs to get stronger physically, but mentally as well. Back in the present, Bam is seen with many certificate degrees, which shows that he's been training up in many different martial arts skills. Suddenly, Emily makes the announcement for everyone to see that the Train City tournament will take place in the Stadium tomorrow at 2:00pm.
After Emily's message about tomorrow's Train City tournament was sent out, Hwaryun asks Boro to continue his past Hell Train story. In return, Boro explains how aboard the Hell Train, he came across one of FUG's Slayer-Candidates that gave him a bad experience. That said Slayer-Candidate went on to hide some sort of item there during a past Hell Train trip, which Boro figures that said item must be what FUG's after. As a result, Boro remains convinced that the current Hell Train journey has become more dangerous than anyone expected.
Within his Room 52 bedroom, Bam gets a Pocket message from Khun informing the former that his team will finally arrive at Train City by tomorrow night. Hwaryun then appears in his room to grab him for a meeting with Boro and company. During the meeting, Bam's told about Boro's past Hell Train trip, which Boro further explains how the Slayer-Candidate he met aboard the Hell Train went on to kill everyone but five survivors. One of which was Boro while another of the five ended up dying due to something different. Boro explains that while he doesn't remember what happened clearly given that the Hell Train trip was so long ago, he remembers the Slayer-Candidates last words before Boro escaped. That the Slayer-Candidate will return one day, and will hide "it" on the train until the day of his return. That this path will be known as a Revolution Road. Hwaryun takes note that the item left behind on the Hell Train by the Slayer-Candidate is what FUG must be after, which Boro adds that he needs to take part in this in order to find out what's going on for the sake of his past friends that died. Thinking it over, Bam's left wondering what FUG and Rachel are currently up to.
Meanwhile, Team Rachel is seen waiting on standby at an unknown area of Train City. The stick-biter, Daniel, finally catches up to them, which given that they control Emily, he finds it funny that they're getting the tournament announcement when it's Rachel's scheme to begin with. Avoiding his team questioning where he's been, Daniel asks if they got confirmation that management's helping them, which the orange-haired female teammate reveals that they are. As a result, Daniel gets excited for what's going to go down tomorrow.
The next day, the Regulars at Floor 2's Residence head off at 1pm to make it to the Stadium for the tournament. However, a group of Regulars are seen blocking the elevator. Moments after, Team Nobic approach the elevator wondering what the commotion's about. Ran and company then easily dispose of the Regulars blocking the elevator, which Ran gives the order that it's time to go capture Cassano.
At that same time, Team Bam (which now consists of Bam, Rak, Hwaryun, Boro, Hanool, and Hana) is seen at Floor 3's Restaurant getting a bite to eat before heading off to the Stadium. Boro points out the benefit of choosing to the Restaurant floor early as it means that in addition to being closer to Floor 4's Stadium, they don't have to deal with the Regulars trying to block the elevator on the Residence level. Thus, he figures that they should continue waiting it out until it's the appropriate time.
Shortly after, the Regulars are all seen gathering within Floor 4's Stadium. Team Bam arrives out of the main elevator, which it turns out that Rak doesn't actually have an Express Ticket. Everyone then hears the announcement that the tournament's about to begin. The announcer explains how each team needs to have at least one Express Ticket, and that the winning team if players don't have tickets will all be granted special Boarding Passes for the Hell Train. It's now 2pm, and the eight team tournament bracket pops up on the Stadium screen. In addition, the winner of the brackets will face off against a mysterious "Team X" as if they're the champion team that needs to be toppled. The first four matches reading as follows: Team Bam vs. Team Yura, Team C vs. Team Bero, Team Aka vs. Team Ran, and Team Teal vs. Team H.
Meanwhile, Team Rachel is not actually seen at the Stadium tournament. Instead, they've arrived at Floor 1's Entrance to the Hell Train, and stand before the Mirotic Guardian.
Within Flour 4's Stadium, Team Bam looks upon the tournament brackets, which given that Hana is a fan of idol Yura, she gets excited that their team is going up against Team Yura first. However, Boro thinks the opposite given that he views Team Yura as a tough opponent. Meanwhile, Bam notices amongst the brackets how Ran's in the tournament leading one of the tournament teams.
Elsewhere within the Stadium, Team Nobic looks upon the brackets, and take note that their first opponent is Team Aka. However, they conclude that Cassano is probably not amongst said opposing team. They also realize that Team Bam's taking part in the tournament, which Beta gets hyped up to fight Viole again. However, Ran reminds him that their focus is on Cassano no matter what, even if it means dropping out of the tournament to catch him. Sia then takes note of how Yura's leading one of the tournament teams, which they recall that the elevator blocking D-rank Regulars that they defeated were part of Yura's team. They remember the defeated Regular giving them a warning that Yura has set everything up to steal away everyone's Express Tickets. Sia looks up information on her Lighthouse about Yura, which all that she can find is that Yura of the great Ha Family relies on speed, and works as an idol singer. Despite his interest in wanting to see how much Viole's improved, Ran decides that they should go greet their opponent, Team Aka.
The announcer explains how the tickets for the tournament works where each team must bet one Express Ticket for each player that enters a match, and that a team will be automatically eliminated if they don't have any more Express Tickets. The announcer then asks for teams to go to their waiting rooms as the tournament will start in ten minutes. Amongst Team Bam, Boro voices his concern how he doesn't like the idea of the rules, and that they could lose a lot of Express Tickets going up against a strong opponent like the Ha Family's Yura. Meanwhile, Yura's 5-man team is seen in their waiting room. The sword-user voices his concern given that their team only has two Express Tickets, but Yura is unfazed claiming that they won't lose as long as she's playing.
In the Team Bam waiting room, they hold a meeting, which Hwaryun states that she has no idea as to where Team Rachel is at. Boro notes that the champion "Team X" that they will have to face at the end is the most questionable, but also warns that they could be split amongst the other teams. Discussing the Express Ticket rule, Boro also notes that they have an advantage given the amount of Express Tickets they have (five total), but that two of their teammates are throwaways given that Hanool and Hana are weak. Hwaryun points out that the point of the tournament will be efficiency to win matches with the least amount of Express Tickets as possible, but also warns that how fast they can win will depend on how strong Yura is.
Ten minutes later, the tournament begins, which Team Bam and Team Yura enter the Stadium's arena for the first match. Bam and Yura step forward as the team leaders to provide their Express Tickets for the match. However, Yura greets Bam as Jue Viole Grace, which surprises him that Yura knows about his FUG identity. A yellow ball-like object that has one eye and horns then shoots into the air from the arena, which the announcer states that the first match will be a "Crazy Yellow Ball" game.
Team Bam stands opposite Team Yura in the arena, which Bam's left wondering how Yura knows about his FUG identity. The announcer explains the rules of the game, which the arena turns into a strip of giant squares, four squares for both teams that lead towards their goal, which the point is for a team to score by throwing the Crazy Ball at the goal. However, teams can only move up to two squares per turn towards the opponent's goal. There's also the threat of the ball turning into a dangerous "Crazy Yellow Ball" if the holder holds the ball for more than ten seconds. Hanool notes that the game sounds close to rugby, which Boro notices that Bam's acting off for some reason.
With five minutes to set up their starting positions, Hwaryun watches from afar figuring that their team will have the advantage since they can send in more teammates to play given their higher Express Ticket count. However, she notes that the power Yura's hiding will be the deciding factor. It's at this point that Ran and Nobic approach Hwaryun, which they call her "Yuto" given that they know about the switcheroo stunt she pulled at the Workshop Battle. Knowing that Hwaryun's a schemer, Ran questions what plan she's trying to pull this time given that she was the one who rounded everyone up at Train City.
The Crazy Yellow Ball game begins. Bam and Yura with a luggage carrier stand in the middle for the jump ball while Hanool and Hana are set up as Team Bam's defensive line, and Pierre stands behind Yura as her team's one-man defensive line. In addition, Rak and Boro are set up at the back line to be Team Bam's goalies. Basically, it's 5 vs. 2 given that Team Bam has five Express Tickets compared to Team Yura only having two. Boro notes the oddity that Team Yura didn't set up their one spare Express Ticket holder as the goalie since defenders aren't allowed to move, which leaves their back line completely wide open. Thus, he wonders how Yura's going to play both offense and defense.
The game begins, and Bam quickly grabs the jump ball, much to everyone's confusion that Yura chose not to move. Bam passes the crazy ball off to Hanool, who then charges toward Pierre. Hanool then passes it back to Bam at the last second, who then uses the Immobilization Bang to freeze Pierre, and easily passes him, much to everyone's surprise that Bam's capable of reverse flow control to stall his opponents. The crazy ball is then given to Team Yura since Team Bam has moved up two spaces towards Yura's goal. Watching the match, Ran isn't surprised that Viole's as good as ever, and remains bored knowing that Team Bam's about to easily win.
Yura with her luggage carrier towards Bam, and offers her congratulations to the Slayer-Candidate for his display of skills, which Bam questions how she knows about his FUG identity. In return, Yura reveals that it's because Rachel told her, which shocks Bam and everyone else since she's basically revealing that she's become a member of FUG. Yura explains that her and Rachel became friends about a year ago, and that their plan is to take all the Express Tickets to take the Hell Train for themselves. Thus, she offers Bam a bet. That if Bam manages to block her attack on the next turn, she will hand over her Express Ticket, and reveal to him where Rachel went.
Watching the Crazy Ball match alongside Hwaryun, Ran and Nobic remain convinced that Team Bam has already won. That Bam can easily win on his team's next turn by just advancing the final two spots on Team Yura's defenseless half of the arena to score the winning goal. It's at this point that they get word from Dan over a Pocket that he's located Team Aka watching the match within the arena, which Dan points out that Aka seems to be a gigantic person. Ran and Nobic head off to greet Team Aka given that they'll be facing off in a later tournament match, which allows Hwaryun to focus on the match without any further interruptions. Seeing that the match has stalled due to Bam and Yura speaking to one another, Hwaryun can tell that a problem has occurred.
The other watching teams take note of Bam being a powerful Wave Controller that can reverse flow control his opponents. Boro and Rak question what's going on as they can see Bam from far away with a shocked expression on his face. The shocked Bam asks Yura where Rachel is and what she's planning with FUG, but Yura asks him to focus on the tournament. Yura explains how she met Rachel a year ago by chatting with one another through the Emily terminal. That one day, Yura wanted to know what she desired, and asked Emily about it, which Emily answered that she will find it by going to the Hell Train with Rachel. Thus, that was when Yura decided to leave everything behind, and join Team Rachel.
Yura announces that she will stop Bam from reaching Rachel if it means that he will try to stop her from being with Rachel. Thus, she once more challenges him to the bet. That if Bam blocks her attack, she will give up an Express Ticket, and tell him where Rachel is. However, Bam will have to give up one of of his teams' Express Tickets if he fails. Despite the rest of Bam's team refusing the bet, Bam agrees to go along with it. Hanool voices his complaint, but Bam assures him that they'll be fine as long as he wins. Team Yura's turn with the crazy ball begins as she charges towards Bam with the ball. He aims to quickly freeze her like he did Pierre, but his ability has no effect, and Yura easily passes him, much to everyone's shock as to why Bam's reverse flow control didn't freeze her.
Yura taunts at Bam for his reverse flow control being weak as Pierre starts taunting at Team Bam as well. However, not liking that Pierre talks too much, Yura holds onto the crazy ball for ten seconds, and passes it off to Pierre. Due to the ten second mechanic, the ball's crazy mode activates, which results in it exploding on Pierre and killing him. Everyone's disgusted that Yura killed her own teammate, which she taunts that along with having a new Express Ticket, she can now place two new defenders on the arena. The crazy ball is given back to Bam now that it's his team's turn, which Yura makes the same offer to bet Express Tickets and Rachel's location if Bam manages to strike her. Hanool once more voices his disagreement. However, Bam once more goes along with it, and asks for Hanool to trust him as he will be sure to get past Yura, which Yura grins in return knowing that Bam once more took the bait.
Due to the Express Ticket bet between Bam and Yura, the announcement is made that one of Team Bam's tickets was given to Team Yura, which Rak is forcibly teleported out of the arena to make the match 4 vs. 3. Boro and Hwaryun are left confused as to what's going on as Bam and Hanool have a standoff against Yura and her two new defender teammates, Brugel and Egel. Meanwhile, the watching sword-user of Team Yura thinks of Yura as a horrible woman due to how she killed off Pierre. Team Bam's round on offense begins as Hanool charges at Brugel with the crazy ball. Like before, Hanool passes the ball off to Bam at the last second, which Egel aims to strike at Bam with two shinsu Bangs. Bam counters with three Bangs, much to everyone's surprise that Bam's at least a three shinsu Bang user, and then charges at Yura, who finds it amusing that Bam's going to fail against her again.
Once Bam's up close to Yura however, he gives her the crazy ball. The ten second mechanic then suddenly activates, which shocks Yura when she realizes that Bam's plan was to kill her with the crazy ball mode. Yura manages to bash the crazy ball with her luggage carrier away in time, which she praises Bam for having a bit more intellect than she thought. Thus, she deems this round's bet to be a draw. Before Team Yura takes their turn on offense, Yura calls out Bam as the worst person for being a clingy guy that chases after Rachel, which Yura claims that she will get Bam off Rachel's back. Afterwards, Bam stands off against Yura thinking over how he's supposed to beat her. He takes note of the luggage carrier that Yura's been dragging around, and realizes that there's something off about it.
Team Yura's next round on offense begins, which Yura charges towards Bam. His new goal being to find out why Yura's luggage carrier is so important. Angered that Bam tried to trick her, Yura throws the ball in crazy mode at Bam, but as he dodges out of the way, the ball gets caught by Hana as it's on the verge of exploding. Bam moves to pull Hana away from the crazy ball's explosion, but he wasn't able to completely protect her as the explosion ended up damaging Hana's hands. Hana's forced to leave the match due to injury as Bam complains at Yura asking why she got someone else involved in their bet. Especially someone who's a huge idol fan of Yura. However, Yura ignores it claiming that losing one fan doesn't matter when she has many, and orders him to hand over another Express Ticket.
Due to Team Bam having lost two Express Tickets, Boro approaches Bam to voice his complain over the ticket losses and Hana's injury. Bam apologizes with his only excuse being that Yura told him that she would tell them where Rachel went, which Boro and Rak order him to get his head back together, or else they will lose. After thinking it over, Bam asks for Hanool to trust him one last time, much to Boro and Hanool's confusion that he's still choosing to go along with Yura's scheme. However, Bam assures them that it will be different this time around as Hanool and Boro are forced to go back to their starting positions. Standing off once more against Yura, Bam confirms to himself that Yura's attack on Hana wasn't an accident. That Yura's protecting her luggage carrier from being destroyed by the crazy ball.
Handing the ball off to Hanool, Bam asks for the former to hold it for ten seconds to activate the crazy ball mode, which Hanool agrees to go through with it, and charges into Brugel. However, Brugel lets Hanool go past him knowing that he would die if he kept hold of Hanool holding the ball in crazy mode. Knowing that Baam and Hanool are suicide charging her, Yura kicks Egel forward to make him stall their charge. However, they easily bypass him, which Hanool then passes off the ball to Bam as it's starting to activate crazy ball mode. Yura tries to get out of the way, but Bam uses the crazy ball to bash it against her luggage carrier, which she finally lets go of the carrier as it goes flying across the arena. Thus, Bam has finally succeeded in getting past Yurad. Standing atop Yura, Bam orders her to reveal where Rachel is.
After Bam finally manages bypass Yura's defenses, the spectator Regulars watch in amazement. Amongst Team Aka, the blue-skinned Regular points out to his boss that Bam is the noteworthy boy that he told the leader about. In return, Aka admits that Boro discovered an interesting kid. Meanwhile, Hwaryun also continues to watch, but she remains disappointed that Bam still has a long way to go since he had to rely on a bit of the Thorn's power to beat Yura during that last attack.
Shortly after, Ran and Nobic are seen making their way towards Dan, who was spying on their tournament opponent, Team Aka. Once they reunite with Dan, they see just how massive in size the person known as Aka Williams actually is. Despite Aka's intimidatingly massive size, Ran remains confident to give Team Aka an "early greeting."
Amongst the teams watching the Crazy Ball match is Team Bero. Shocked that Bam managed to break through Yura's defenses, Bero questions her bird teammate, Pompidou, how it happened. In return, Pompidou theorizes that the key was the luggage bag. That Yura's bag has the ability to block shinsu attacks. Meanwhile, the watching Rak notes that Yura's bag reminds him of the one that Khun used back in the day.
Returning to the Crazy Ball arena, Bam once more orders Yura to reveal to him where Rachel is. A brief flashback is seen where Yura is in distress due to not having the "thing" she desires, which Emily sends her a message on her handheld terminal that what she's seeking can be found on the Hell Train. Returning to the present, Yura agrees to hand over her Express Tickets and information on Rachel since Bam won the bet, which Boro finds suspicious due to how easy that was. Meanwhile, the sword-user from Team Yura continues to watch from the sideline. He thinks back to Team Yura's meeting before the tournament where Yura picks out her five teammates for it; including the sword-user. Yura reveals that her luggage carrier is actually a special Lighthouse that she won at a past Workshop Battle, and that it comes with three special abilities. One of which is blocking shinsu abilities, but she refuses to tell its other two skills. Returning to the present, Yura figures that she's managed to waste enough time to separate Rachel from Bam, which confuses him. Yura then reveals that the Train City tournament was actually a trap set up by Rachel and her.
After witnessing the Crazy Ball match, Aka remains suspicious that something's up, and deduces that there's more going on with Yura's luggage carrier. Aka's blue-skinned subordinate doesn't think there's anything to worry about as Team Nobic appears behind them, which Ran threatens to attack them as there's no point waiting until their tournament match. Aka orders his blue-skinned subordinate, Moontari, to deal with the problem and make it clear to the rookies to not under-estimate them, which results in a duel between Moontari and Ran. Despite Ran charging in, Moontari shows that like Bam, he can utilize reverse flow control, and manages to freeze Ran and get a hit in on the latter.
Back at the Crazy Ball arena, Bam questions Yura what she means by having them all trapped. In return, Yura goes over Rachel and FUG's overall scheme. That the goal was to use Emily to gather everyone at the Floor 4's Stadium for a fake tournament in order for a single group (Team Rachel) to sneak away and take the Hell Train for themselves.
At that same time, Team Rachel is seen at the Floor 1's Entrance before the gatekeeper, the Mirotic Guardian. The orange-haired female of their team questions how they're supposed to get by, which Daniel assures them that he has a plan to get them past the Mirotic Guardian, which the Hell Train lies just beyond.
At Floor 1's Entrance, Daniel stands ready to take on the Mirotic Guardian for Team Rachel in order for them to reach the Hell Train. His orange-haired female teammate questions why Daniel is being so secretive to them, but Daniel announces that it's because he's someone who tends to tell lies. He then creates a purple shinsu orb from his hand, and blasts it at the Mirotic Guardian. However, the orb ended up doing no damage. Given that the Mirotic Guardian is a defense mechanism that only fights back if something attacks it, the Guardian summons many spears, and fires them back at Team Rachel. Daniel ends up taking the full blast of it while the rest of the team gets out of the way. However, Daniel comes out of attack still standing, which the orange-haired female teammate admits that Daniel's strong.
Unimpressed with the plan so far, the orange-haired female teammate questions if Daniel knows what he's doing. In return, Daniel explains what the Mirotic Guardian is. That along with being the Hell Train's gatekeeper until it's the right time to board the Hell Train, it's an illusionary guardian that can't be hit by physical attacks. In return, Cassano questions how they're supposed to fight an illusion, which Daniel figures that the former's Devil Arm powers should be capable of damaging the Mirotic Guardian. Despite said idea, Daniel refuses to hand over his prey to someone else. He claims that "94 people" should be enough, and creates several larger purple orbs ready to cast them at the Mirotic Guardian. Daniel announces to the Guardian that it's been a long time since he last returned to the Hell Train while thinking about someone named Roen, which Daniel thinks that he can never run away from this person.
Daniel fires his large orb attack at the Mirotic Guardian, who's spears block it in return. The two powerful attacks cancel each other out until the spears break through and explode on Team Rachel's location. The orange-haired female, who turns out to be named Angel, has to finally rely on her powers to help get her jousting stick teammate out of harms way by activating her angelic-like power. Angel's seen with a pair of white wings and an angel halo as she's now flying high above while holding her jousting stick teammate in one hand. However, the Mirotic Guardian's spears suddenly stop attacking, which confuses her when she sees that the Guardian has disappeared. Looking back at Daniel, she sees that he's now holding a remote that can simply turn the Mirotic Guardian defense system on and off. He explains that he got it from the captain of the Hell Train since the latter is a past friend of his, and is also someone cooperating with FUG. The revelation angers Angel questioning what the point of the fight was, which Daniel gloats that it's because he enjoys lying. Daniel then opens up the gate the Mirotic Guardian was protecting, and announces to Team Rachel that just up ahead is the Hell Train's boarding platform.
During Team Nobic's confrontation with Team Aka, Nobic and Dan watch Ran remain in a standoff with Moontari after the latter surprises them by showing off that he's a skilled D-rank Regular that can perform reverse flow control to freeze his opponents. Moontari then taunts Ran that he's killed many other members of the Khun family aboard the Hell Train, which provokes Ran into attacking him once more.
Meanwhile on the Crazy Ball arena, Yura explains Team Rachel's scheme to Bam that will allow them to take the Hell Train for themselves. That they lured everyone to Floor 4's Stadium by announcing a fake tournament there through the Emily terminal, and that a mysterious "Team X" was serving as said tournament's champion team to bait Bam and company into thinking that Team X was possibly Team Rachel. Yura even gloats that Team Rachel convinced the Train City higher-ups to go along with their plan, and that her remaining teammates are guarding the elevators. However, Yura claims that she doesn't care about her teammates, and that she's just going to reunite with Team Rachel by herself. Hanool questions how Yura's supposed to escape since she's just trapped herself in the Stadium with everyone else, but Yura calls him stupid for thinking that she wouldn't have planned for this beforehand. The result is Yura getting sucked into her luggage carrier, and disappearing from the Stadium level, much to everyone's shock.
Suddenly, Ran and Moontari come crashing down to the Crazy Ball arena due to their ongoing fight. Bam comes to Ran's defense given that he's a member of Khun's family, which Moontari is prepared to fight Bam and company. However, Boro and Bam get Moontari and Ran to stop fighting upon revealing to them that they've been caught in Yura's fake tournament trap to try to steal away the Hell Train with Team Rachel. Aka then arrives asking if what he just heard about the Hell Train being stolen away is true, which Bam answers is the truth. In return, Aka fights that difficult to believe given that the Mirotic Guardian gatekeeper is blocking the way. However, Bam assures Aka that Team Rachel will have a way to pass the Mirotic Guardian given that FUG is backing them. The mention of FUG catching Boro and Aka's attention knowing that it might be possible if said organization's involved. Bam and company then investigate around, which Yura's teammates that she ditched don't know anything while they move to check the luggage carrier she left behind.
Meanwhile, Yura and her sword-user teammate are seen appearing out of another luggage carrier at a different location of Train City. As it turns out, the second ability of her luggage carrier is to copy itself, and act as a teleportation device between the two carriers. However, it can only transport up to three people once per day, which she decided to only take her sword-using teammate along. Yura and the sword-user then make their way down a path of Train City towards the Hell Train while Yura thinks over how she won't let Bam get in the way of her last concert on the Hell Train.
Back at the Stadium level, Bam and company get nothing out of the luggage carrier Yura left behind, which Aka theorizes that it's a copy, and that the real one is back with Yura. Overall, Boro suggests to Team Aka that they need to all work together to reach the Hell Train, which Aka agrees to a team-up with Team Bam and Team Nobic. Despite that, Aka remains suspicious due to Bam's knowledge of FUG and Yura's scheme while Ran remains determined to continue their fight. However, Team Nobic order Ran to stop. Nobic and Dan reveal that the tournament is indeed a farce as Sia and Beta infiltrated Floor 5's Control Center only to find no one around running the tournament. Sia and Beta also reveal that the Control Center cameras caught sight of Team Rachel, and their target, Cassano, passing by Floor 1's Entrance. Due to Yura's teammates keeping the elevator stuck on another floor from outside Floor 4's Stadium, Aka mentions that the Stadium level has an emergency exit, but that it leads to a maze-like tunnel that they could easily get lost in. As a result, Hwaryun offers to guide them through the emergency exit maze.
At that same time, Team Rachel arrives at a long stairwell known as the Helix Stairs that's just beyond the Mirotic Guardian's gate. A flying mechanical phoenix known as a navigator drops in from above, and explains that it will be guiding Team Rachel up to the Hell Train's boarding platform.
Long Summary
On the 123rd Floor of the Tower, Princess Jaina Repelista Jahad is seen within her villa playing a console video-game where her game character with a giant axe is seen slashing through many enemies. Repelista continues to mash the buttons on her game controller to the point that her axe character has killed all the enemies.
Repelista is happy to see that the new video-games are fun as they always are as she grabs at a bag of chips for a snack to eat. She's amazed to find that the action is incredible, and is the thrill just to play through. At this point, her butler, Alumik Edroch, appears at the door to remind her that it's time to get some sleep, which Repelista complains that she doesn't want to. The Jahad Princess states that she was planning to sleep in the next day real late since she's currently on vacation, but Alumik informs her that it's not a good habit to sleep in too late.
Seeing the window to Repelista's room wide open, Alumik warns her that the wind outside is chilly, but Repelista replies that the wind feels goo while she's playing video-games. Alumik then states how odd it's been that the animals outside are completely calm today despite the loud noises and cries they were making the other day. He questions if this is a sign that they have an amazing guest on their hands, and decides to check what's going on.
Before leaving, he reminds Lady Repelista to get some sleep, which the Jahad Princess agrees to do. Going back to playing video-games, she states to herself that it's a given that games are always going to be fun. Meanwhile, at the gate of Jaina Repelista's villa, Princess Yuri arrives with guide Evan Edroch to greet the Royal Guards protecting the home. Seeing the Royal Guards standing before her with their weapons ready, Yuri remains confused as to what's going on.
Yuri figures that this is one of Repelista's weird jokes given that she called Yuri up recently as Evan points out that his assumption was correct that they shouldn't have stopped by. He states to Yuri not to get her hopes up, and that this is proof that Princess Repelista isn't going to tell them anything. However, Yuri orders him to shut up, and reminds Evan that Repelista sent a message on Yuri's Pocket telling her to drop by this villa as she has something to tell her.
Yuri admits that the message was a bit vague, which Evan answers that it's because Yuri's too naive to realize that Repelista is messing with her. An enraged Yuri asks if know-it-all Evan wants to die as she turns her attention back to the Royal Guards standing in her way. Yuri remains confused as to why Royal Guards of the Jahad Family are being used by sister Repelista this way. She asks Evan if Repelista would really do something like this, which Evan answers that this isn't the first time Repelista pulled a stunt like this.
Evan informs her that it's in the rules that the Royal Guards will simply leave if a Jahad Princess orders them to leave given that she's a higher rank than them. An irritated Yuri feels bad making the Royal Guards go through something like this as she orders the guards to leave since she's not in the mood currently to deal with them. However, the Royal Guards prepare their weapons for a fight, which surprises Evan.
Looking over the situation, Evan is left wondering if the Royal Guards do not realize who they're dealing with as an even more irritated Yuri gives off a small laugh claiming that they've found a way to make this a bit fun. Yuri destorys the land around her as her red eyes stare straight at the Royal Guards, and claims that while she doesn't really care about the ranks, the actions of the Royal Guards have hurt her pride a bit.
Fighting is heard in the distance as Butler Alumik remains silent at the villa drinking his tea. He gives off a smile admitting that it's a wonderful sound, and confirms that their guest is indeed Princess Yuri Jahad. He claims that the way Yuri fights truly is a magnificent sight.
Back to the fight, Yuri easily disposes of one of the Royal Guards as the rest continue to move in on her. She deduces that the guards are trying to surround her using their numbers advantage, but an enraged Yuri says to them that they're forgetting the fact that she's a Jahad Princess. Yuri slams her fist into the ground, which causes a massive explosion from the spot she hit, which instantly defeats the remaining Royal Guards. Looking at the guards lying on the ground in defeat, Yuri walks away feeling bad that they have to have such hardships forced upon them by people from above.
At Princess Repelista's gaming room, Yuri appears through the window, which surprises the former. Repelista realizes that she ended up enraging Yuri due to the Royal Guard stunt, and attempts to get away, but Yuri quickly grabs her, and asks if this is how she goes about greeting a Jahad Princess sister. Yuri asks the struggling Repelista if she thinks this is funny, which Repelista begs Yuri to let her go.
Yuri lets go after a moment, as Repelista complains that she almost died. Yuri scolds her sister that the stunt she pulled with the Royal Guards was out-of-line, which Repelista apologizes for. Repelista asks about Evan, which Yuri answers that he's currently with Alumik having a discussion about something. Evan is seen asking why Alumik would use a dead boy as bait to try to lead a Jahad Princess somewhere, which leaves butler Alumik silent.
Seeing Repelista return to playing her video-game, Yuri says to her that this doesn't seem out of the ordinary. Yuri asks if this is really how Repelista plans to use her vacation, which Repelista answers that it is since she has nothing better to do. Yuri replies that Repelista should find something to do then, such as completing the favor that she asked her to do awhile back. However, Repelista answers back that she doesn't remember any such favor, which enrages Yuri. Yuri reminds Repelista that she asked her a while back to find the missing boy that disappeared on the 2nd Floor, and even went out of her way to complete Repelista's side of the deal by bringing her a baby Zigena (Urek's appearance at the 21st Floor test).
The angry Yuri asks how Repelista doesn't remember this, but Repelista gives off a laugh claiming that she was joking, and states that the baby Zigena turned out to be pretty cute. Yuri admits that it was also pretty cute even though she only saw what it looked like on the video that announced the Tower of the Yeon Family Zigena gem scandal. Repelista asks what Yuri plans to do from now on since revealing the Zigena scandal to the Tower resulted in Yuri offending the Great Yeon Family. However, Yuri answers that it's not going to affect anything on her end since Urek Mazino doesn't care. She worries about how the Zigena scandal will affect Repelista, but the latter reassures her that everything will work out later on.
Getting back to the question at hand, Repelista informs Yuri that she has information regarding the boy she's looking for, which excites Yuri wanting to know what her sister found out. Handing over an envelope to Yuri, the Jahad Princess asks what this is, and wonders if it's a letter. However, Repelista replies that it's not, and just asks her to open it.
Repelista explains that it's a present of gratitude for bringing her a baby Zigena as Yuri opens the envelope, and sees that it's one of the 100 Express Tickets for the Hell Train. Seeing the words Revolution Road on it, Yuri remains confused about the ticket, which Repelista explains that it's one of the tickets for the famous D-rank Hell Train express that's really hard to get. Yuri reminds her sister that she knows exactly what the ticket is, but asks why Repelista is giving her this.
She explains to Repelista that she never boarded the Hell Train during her Tower climb given how troublesome it was, and reminds her sister that she's not allowed on since the express only allows D-rank Regulars to enter it. However, Repelista replies that it will be ok for Yuri to board the train, and that she will definitely want to board it despite the D-rank restriction, which catches Yuri's attention. Repelista makes it clear that Yuri will end up boarding the train, because the boy she's been looking for all this time will be on the Hell Train a year from now.
Princess Yuri remains stunned in shock, and asks if what Repelista said is true about the boy she's looking for being on the Hell Train in a year. She also asks if what Repelista is implying is that the boy wasn't dead after all. She then asks if Repelista knows for sure that the boy is alive, to which Repelista answers that she will need to see for herself if it's true or not by boarding the Hell Train.
Yuri replies that it's a given she will be going, but questions how she's supposed to get on the D-rank restricted Hell Train. Repelista answers that she will tell her how it can be done.
Switching to Alumik and Evan's conversation. The latter orders the former to stop trying to use the dead boy as bait to make Princess Yuri do what he wants. Evan makes it clear that as long as he's here, he won't allow for things to go Alumiks way. However, Alumik questions why Evan is so adamant to believe that the boy is dead when the kid's body hasn't even been found yet. Evan answers that it's because there's no way a powerless boy could escape the 2nd Floor's enormous Submerged Fish Hunt water tank, but Alumik counters once more that it's possible given that the boy was an Irregular.
Evan still refuses to believe that the boy surviving is impossible, but Alumik explains that Evan is refusing to believe what Irregulars are truly capable of. Evan explains that the Tower doesn't open its gates for just anybody, but actually chooses people that have something that the Tower needs. The Tower could end up choosing someone that wishes to bring stability, change, revolution, or even liberty to the Tower. He informs Evan that he will have to see it with his own eyes what the lost boy is capable of bringing to the Tower. Despite Evan remaining confused by the statement, Alumik bids him farewell as Princess Yuri comes storming into the room calling for her guide.
Yuri walks up to Evan stating that they need to get going. Evan remains confused by the sudden turn of events, but Yuri orders him to shut up, and follow along, as she drags Evan out of the room. Evan complains that this is too much given that they only just got here, and begs Yuri to tell them where they're going. He also begs Yuri to let him go, and for Alumik to help him, but the butler ignores him as the two disappear from sight. In the meantime, Alumik takes a drink of his tea, and states that it tastes good.
Princess Yuri continues to drag Evan out of Repelista's villa as the latter orders Yuri to let go, and tell him what's going on. Evan asks what Lady Repelista said to get Yuri this worked up, which the latter answers that it's because he's alive. Evan asks who she's referring to, to which Yuri answers that she's talking about 25th Bam. Evan is left stunned by the answer, which Yuri explains that it's the kid who disappeared on the 2nd Floor.
Evan is finally let go, and stands up complaining once more that there's no way possible for Bam to have gotten out of the Submerged Fish Hunt tank. However, Yuri asks if the boy being alive means that the 2nd levels' Floor of Tests had something to do with the incident, which confuses Evan. She also questions if it was the guys on the Floor of Tests' plan for her to get rid of the Royal Jahad Assassin, Lo Po Bia Ren, all along so that they can hide the Irregular known as Bam from the eyes of the Jahad Family. Yuri begins to wonder if perhaps Bam's 2nd Floor test had been manipulated, which Evan orders her to stop coming up with ridiculous assumptions.
Evan explains that if Yuri's assumption was true, the plan would need to be approved by the 2nd Floor's Test Administrator, and given their position to provide newcomer Regulars the chance to climb the Tower, they would never approve of such a thing. However, Evan points out that he's always found it suspicious as to why the Ranker, Yu Hansung, who had a high-rank position in Jahad's Empire, would suddenly leave the spot to take a Test Administrator job on the Floor of Tests. Evan says to Yuri that if something happened to Bam, Yu Hansung would definitely know.
Figuring that Yuri is planning to travel back down to the Floor of Tests, Evan warns her that it will be too dangerous this time since the head of the 2nd Floor, High-Ranker Director Evankhell, will be there this time around. However, Yuri answers that she's going to leave that issue to the other guys, because what she's aiming for is to board the Hell Train. Evan is left confused by the answer, and reminds her that she won't be able to board it since it's restricted to D-rank Regulars, which Yuri answers that that won't be a problem since sister Repelista told her how to get on.
Yuri tells Evan the plan that her goal now is to board the Hell Train to find Bam in order to find out the truth as to why he disappeared on the 2nd Floor. She gives Evan the order that it's time to get going, but they will need to handle some things beforehand before they go after the Hell Train. She leaves off saying that she's going to leave Evan behind if he doesn't hurry, which causes Evan to start to rethink his assumption that Bam is truly dead. He thinks that Lady Repelista almost never tells a lie, and if Repelista implying to Yuri that Bam being alive is the truth, then Bam will definitely meet Princess Yuri again as he continues to climb up the Tower. Evan concludes that this is a fate that can't be avoided as he calls out to Yuri begging for her to wait up.
One year passes as the setting switches to an orange-colored train on the 35th Floor heading for Train City; the first station that D-rank Regulars can attempt to board the Hell Train. The orange-colored train is a private express for those that want to make their way to Train City. Within the orange-colored train, an announcement is made informing all the current D-rank riders that the popular D-rank idol, Ha Yura, will be holding a concert in three days, which is the exact day that the Hell Train will depart from Train Station. The announcer hopes that everyone will participate in the concert as a pink-haired train crewmen walks down the express isle offering the Regulars drinks and snacks.
Among one of the train's seating areas, three D-rank Regulars are seen: Hanool Kang and Felix, who are both shinsu martial arts students, and their shinsu martial arts teacher, Boro. Hanool mentions to his teacher that they're finally on their way to Train City. However, Boro asks not to be called their teacher just because he happens to have one of the Express Tickets. He mentions that he's an ordinary D-rank Regular just like Hanool and Felix. Boro is seen currently reading a book about the Hell Train, the book itself talks about the dreaded Hell Train Ticket Hunter, Sachi Faker, and asks if the D-ranker is a devil or an angel.
Hanool asks if Boro being able to hold onto his Express Ticket this whole time means that he's a commendable D-rank Regular, and is worthy to be considered their teachers. However, Boro answers that he's only doing this for the two of them because he needs the money payment from them so that he can get on the Hell Train. Hanool admits that people with the Express Tickets act differently than he expected, and asks if Boro had come across the hyped up Sachi Faker once before. However, Boro warns him not to talk about a Ticker Hunter here as it's taboo since they could show up at any time.
Hanool gloats that he doesn't care if they come across Sachi Faker or not since he would like to find out himself if Sachi is the real deal or not. He points out that there's been rumors spreading around that Sachi isn't as strong as people claim him to be. Felix adds that a similar rumor happened when she and Hanool were E-rank Regulars regarding the FUG Slayer person known as Jue Viole Grace. The rumor that he wasn't as powerful as he was cracked up to begin to spread after he disappeared from the E-rank Workshop Battle. Because of this, Felix never got a chance to fight him, and wonders if the rumor is true. Hearing Felix mention Viole's name, Boro admits to himself that it's someone who catches his interest. Boro warns his two students not to speak Viole's name so carelessly as a name such as that carries such force to the point that he could literally come out of nowhere. At this point, a blue-skinned lizard-man enters their train car.
The lizard-man bumps into the pink-haired train crewmen that's been handing out snacks and drinks as he asks for her to be careful not to get in his way. Boro sees the blue lizard-man walking by him, and realizes that they're encountered someone dangerous. Spotting the two Express Tickets hanging on the end of the lizard-man's weapon, Boro questions if a Ticket Hunter has appeared. Seeing the blue lizard-man licking his lips, Boro inspects the two Express Tickets hanging from his weapon believing that he's no doubt a Ticket Hunter.
Boro wonders if the blue lizard-man is showing off his confidence by revealing his two Express Tickets in plain sight, and figures that this situation has become quite troublesome. The teacher then looks towards his two rookie students, and deduces that they're at a disadvantage due to Hanool and Felix's low combat experience. Boro concludes that their best option is to be careful as he orders Hanool to go buy him a drink. Hanool remains confused by the question given that the train crewman passing out the drinks and snacks had passed them already, but Boro grabs his student's shoulder, and states that he needs this favor done. He points out to Hanool that his throat is really dry as Hanool gets out of his seat accepting the order, and runs off towards the pick-haired train crewman. Seeing Hanool disappear from sight, Boro is relieved to know that his biggest problem of getting rid of a troublesome student worked out well. Hearing the blue lizard-man Ticket Hunter walk by him, Boro hopes that the former will just continue walking.
A moment later, the Ticket Hunter gets a message on a terminal he's holding in his hand, and clicks the keyboard to send a message back. Boro continues to hope that the blue lizard-man will just keep walking, but it's at this point that a message is sent to the Ticket Hunter's terminal that grabs his attention.
Giving off a smile, the blue lizard-man looks towards Boro, which completely surprises the latter. The Ticket Hunter pulls out his green needle weapon and attempts to hit Boro with it. However, the latter manages to parry the weapon with his own blue needle as Boro is left confused as to how the blue lizard-man knew he was a holder of an Express Ticket.
Boro and the Ticket Hunter are now face-to-face as the former asks how the blue lizard-man knew about his Express Ticket. The Ticket Huner backs off as Felix pulls out a knife, and steps in to stand alongside her teacher ready to enter the fight. The blue lizard-man gives off a laugh at how his terminal is always right, which confuses Boro. The Ticket Hunter asks for confirmation if Boro is truly a holder of an Express Ticket, which Boro once more asks in return how he knew about it since they're not on the Hell Train just yet. Boro also adds that they're not even wearing name tags, but the Ticket Hunter points out that Boro will not need to know anything soon enough.
Holding up his green needle once more, the blue lizard-man orders for Boro to hand the Express Ticket over. Angry at his actions towards her teacher, Felix steps forward ready to fight, but is held back by Boro as he warns his student that the blue guy is dangerous since he's a confirmed Express Ticket holder. Boro assures Felix that this fight could result in them dying if they act up recklessly.
Seeing the conversation between Boro and Felix, the Ticket Hunter admits that the teacher is a smart one keeping his burdens out of his, which angers Felix. The blue lizard-man points out that Felix is indeed a burden since she doesn't even have an Express Ticket, and gives her a little knowledge that having one of the 100 Express Tickets in this area means that you're considered to be one of the strongest D-rank Regulars. Shinsu begins to swarm around the blue lizard-man's green needle as Boro is left shocked to see a blast of shinsu being shot towards him.
An explosion occurs in the train-car they're all in as the shinsu is seen blasting out of the side windows. Felix is knocked unconscious and hurt having been unable to shield herself from the blast as Boro is left irritated that his student's been injured. Thinking back to the shinsu blast attack his opponent just pulled off, Boro asks if this means that the blue-lizard is a shinsu user, which the Ticket Hunter just answers with a smile. Boro admits that the blue-lizard Ticket Hunter has proven himself to be a cut above everyone else, and asks about the Express Ticket numbers that he has in his possession. The Ticket Hunter answers that his two Express Ticket numbers are 71 and 98.
Holding up the two Express Tickets toward Boro, the blue-lizard explains that he killed the two owners with his own two hands, even though the one who had the number 71 Ticket was strong enough to give him a hard time. Licking his face, the Ticket Hunter announces that his goal is to make every holder of an Express Ticket under the number 10 Ticket kneel before him.
The blue lizard-man powers up his green needle once more ready to send another blast of shinsu towards Boro. However, Boro is left disappointed by this fight, and calls the blue-lizard a student rookie. Preparing to counter with his blue needle, Boro thinks to himself that these rookies know nothing about the Hell Train. He knows for a fact that the higher-ups of the Hell Train are at a much higher level than these rookies, such as this blue lizard-man. The Ticket Hunter then charges forward, and claims that he will be sure to take Boro's Express Ticket before reaching the Hell Train. Boro and the blue lizard-man exchange blows for a few moments as the Ticket Hunter sends a blast of shinsu towards Boro, who dodges by jumping back.
The Ticket Hunter taunts Boro that the latter comes off as one of the weaker Hell Train folk given that he does nothing but dodge his attacks. However, the blue lizard-man is left shocked to see Boro suddenly appear before him, and is confused as to what's going on. Boro admits that while he may not be one of the strongest on the Hell Train, he apologizes to the Ticket Hunter that he's already seen many of his type about the express. he then swings his blue needle, and easily cuts the blue lizard-man in half. A moment later, the corpse of the Ticket Hunter lies on the ground cut in half at the chest area. Boro gives off a sigh of relief knowing that the fight is over, and is amazed to fight that he somehow managed to acquire two more Express Tickets along with the third one he already has.
Boro begins to wonder how his next Hell Train run will go if he continues to gain ground like this, but he then suddenly notices the terminal that the blue lizard-man had been using. Upon closer look, Boro sees the face image of the Emile chatting bot version 1.4 (1.3 during the Workshop Battle) on the terminal screen, and is left confused about what's going on. Inspecting the Emile terminal, Boro wonders if the object is some sort of cell-phone, and states to himself that he's not used to this kind of tech. Picking up the terminal, Boro questions if the Emile name is the title of the program.
Boro clicks the Begin button on the terminal, and sees the message conversation the blue-lizard Ticket Hunter had with Emile searching for Express Ticket holders on this train. Seeing Emile revealing his seating section to the Ticket hunter, Boro is left confused as to how the chatting bot knew of the exact train location that he was sitting. He looks down at the corpse of the blue-lizard, and wonders if the Ticket Hunter was able to find him using this Emile program.
Boro is left confused as to why someone in the Tower would want to make the Emile program as he notices that Emile has just sent a new message. The chatting bot announces that three days from now, a tournament will be held at the Train City testing center where teams will fight one another for Express Tickets. She leaves off hoping that the newly arrived D-rank Regulars will come with high expectations as Boro is left surprised that the announcement is being provided by a message bot.
At this point, student Hanool finally returns to the train car, and asks if teacher Boro is ok since he heard some loud noises just now. Boro reassures Hanool that he's still alive given that he's still standing up perfectly fine after the fight with the blue-lizard, to which Hanool replies that while this is great to hear, there's someone else on the train that's coming off a bit strange. As the two run through the train cars, Boro questions what Hanool means by strange, which his student answers that he went to a new train car to get the drinks from the pink-haired train crewman, but saw that the area had been turned into a mess.
Boro concludes that Hanool ran away after seeing it, which Hanool desperately tries to deny. The teacher is left questioning who on earth the stranger is as the two of them arrive at the train car. Boro and Hanool see bodies of Regulars lying on the floor, and the injured pink-haired train crewman sitting in the mid-isle. Standing before the three of them is a familiar Irregular boy.
Meanwhile, aboard another 35th Floor private train (colored blue) that's also headed for Train City, an explosion of lightning bolts is seen in one of the middle train cars smashing out of the windows. The bloodied Regulars within the car lie on the floor defeated as the last remaining Regular still standing calls the one standing before him a monster.
Dropping a defeated Regular, Ran looks towards the last standing person, and asks what it was that he just called him. The Regular opposing Ran replies that the latter is obviously a monster given that he was able to defeat everyone in this train car. Ran states that him defeating everyone here was the obvious answer given that the Regulars here attacked him first, which irritates the opposing Regular.
Pulling out his Express Ticket, Ran points out that everyone here attacked him the moment they saw that he had this in his possession. Giving off a few sparks of electricity, Ran states that this place turned out really convenient for him given that he can kill as many people as he wants just because he has one of the Express Tickets. The last remaining Regular is left stunned in shock realizing what Ran is referring to as the Khun member gives off a smile, and states that he really likes these trains due to how fun they are. A giant bolt of electricity swarms the interior of the train as the last Regular screams out in pain.
The last Regular, now completely burnt up, falls to the ground in death as Ran is left disappointed that the D-rank Regulars of the lower D-rank Tower Floors are indeed a weak bunch. Ran questions if this means that he will only be able to acquire the lower number Express Ticket holders here as his teammate, Beta, calls out to Ran from the train car entrance.
Ran turns in Beta's direction, which the latter asks why Ran is just standing around not searching the corpses for possible Express Tickets. Ran ignores it, and asks how things went on Beta's side, to which Beta answers that the result was obvious that he would be able to take care of everyone. A pile of corpses is seen behind Beta, but he informs Ran that none of them ended up having an Express Ticket.
Beta walks up to Ran; annoyed that he's stuck dealing with these small-frys. He asks Ran when they can meet Beniamino Cassano since the Devil of the Right Arm is the only reason that he's agreeing to be a part of this team. However, Ran warns him not to rush things since they haven't even arrived in Train City just yet. Ran informs Beta that the Hell Train will depart from Train City in three days, which Beta asks if he will truly come across Cassano following along with this group.
Ran reassures him that it will definitely happen, and asks for Beta to trust them a bit more on this. He points out to Beta that finding the Express Tickets is more important currently just so that they can reach the location Cassano is at first. Beta warns Ran that he will kill him if it turns out that this group doesn't lead him to Cassano, but Ran counters with an apology that killing him won't be so easy for a normal guy that's been turned into a Living Ignition Weapon.
Becoming irritated, Beta orders Ran to tell him outright if this team will lead him to Cassano or not. Ran, who's starting to become annoyed with Beta's repetitive questions, admits that there's a possibility that it won't happen, which pisses off Beta even further. At this point, the rest of the team, Nobic, Dan, and Sia, arrive to greet the two.
Sia taunts Ran and Beta that the two kids are fighting again, which Ran and Beta both state at once that they aren't kids. Ran asks how things went on their end, which Nobic gives the bad news that even though they managed to clear out the whole train, none of the D-rank Regulars had an Express Ticket on them. Knowing that they defeated the entire train at this point, Ran remains disappointed that it's just as he expected that the Express Tickets will not be easy to find.
He reminds their five-man team that they've only managed to collect three Express Tickets so far; meaning that two of them will be unable to board the Hell Train if they don't find any others within the next three days. Ran informs the group that the private trains transporting people to the first Hell Train station of Train City are not the only place they can find the Express Tickets. They still have the possibility to split up, and the remaining two members can climb up the Tower normally in the hopes that they can find more Express Ticket holders along the way to board the Hell Train at a higher Floor station.
Ran states that they should worry about this later, and remembers that Nobic is their true team leader to decide on their next plan of action. However, Ran advises Nobic that meeting the other teams at Train Station should come first since they will be able to meet Cassano amongst the teams that will be arriving at Train Station. Ran also points out that Emily's server has come back online, and believes that Cassano has started to put his plan into action.
The mention of Cassano grabs Sia's attention, who informs the group that there was a weird announcement just now that was sent out on the Emile terminals. Ran asks what she means by that, which Sia shows off Emile's tournament message that will be taking place at Train City three days from now. The group remains surprised by Emile's announcement as Sia warns her team that this could be a trap set up by Cassano to gather people that have the Express Tickets. Sia asks what they should do about this, to which Ran answers that it doesn't matter if it's a trap by Cassano or not. They will be joining the tournament.
Switching back to the orange-colored train, Boro and Hanool stand before Bam as the teacher asks the boy who he is. Bam ignores it, and instead asks if Boro has an Express Ticket. The Irregular states that he's looking for people that will join the Train City tournament with him, which grabs Boro, Hanool, and the pink-haired train crewman's attention. In return, Boro asks what Bam means by this.
Bam spends the next moments before Boro and company in complete silence as the latter side doesn't know how to react to what Bam is asking of them. Boro is confused about why this is happening, and orders for the sissy, Hanool, to explain this better to him. However, Hanool reacts to the sissy comment poorly, and states that he doesn't know what's going on either since Bam had already defeated everyone when he showed up back here. Boro calls out to Bam asking once more who he is, and what he's talking about regarding a tournament, which causes Bam to pull out an Emile terminal, and asks for Boro and company to look at it.
Showing Emile's message about the tournament that will be taking place at Train City in three days, Bam explains that he's looking for teammates to join him to participate in it. Boro realizes what Bam is talking about given the Emile terminal he looted off the blue-lizard Ticket Hunter, which surprises Hanool hearing that his teacher also has an Emile terminal. Boro asks if Bam's goal is to join the tournament that Emile mentioned, which Bam answers to be the case. The pink-haired train crewman finally gets up, and is excited to see the Emile terminal, and wishes that she had bought one at some point. Boro asks what she knows about Emile, which the pink-haired girl mentions that it's a text messenger bot that has become a big trend in the lower levels of the Tower. Bam adds to her explanation that Emile is a program that provides answers depending on the questions that people write into the terminal. He continues by pointing out that many Regulars rely on it to move through the Tower according to Emile's directions, and that D-rankers will no doubt be using it to join the Train City tournament to fight over Express Tickets.
Boro remains confused about this entire situation, and asks why they should choose to follow Bam to the Train City tournament since they never had any prior relationship to know one another. Bam answers that it's because he knows Boro and company are aiming to get on the Hell Train, and if they don't manage to stop a particular team, everyone on the Hell Train will end up dying.
Switching back to Team Nobic at the blue train, Dan questions Ran's decision to want to enter Cassano's Train City tournament given that it's an obvious trap. Dan objects to the idea since they don't know for sure if this is Cassano's doing, and could be an unknown group that could end up screwing them over. However, Ran counters that it doesn't matter since in the end, Cassano, and any of the unknown enemies, don't know what they're planning either.
Ran asks if Dan's objection is proof that he's scared of facing powerful enemies at Train City, which leaves him silent. The Khun member adds that Dan has made it clear to everyone that he's the fastest Regular who can easily run away if things go bad, which a confident Dan admits that he did make such a claim, and reaffirms that he's definitely the fastest current D-ranker.
Nobic asks about how things are going with the A.A. team (referring to Khun Aguero Agnes's Hell Train group with Team Tangsoyook), which Sia answers that a text message had just been sent to her lighthouse from Khun to inform them that they will be arriving a day late. Khun advices them to go first ahead of them, which surprises Sia that Khun and company are going to be arriving a day late. Nobic is surprised by this result as well since Khun being late doesn't often happen him, but Ran replies that it doesn't matter since they have their own matters to attend to by going after Cassano.
Beta interrupts the conversation asking if he will be able to get on the Hell Train given his non-Regular status probably won't allow him in the Train City tournament to face Cassano. However, Ran replies that they will definitely take him despite his continued annoyance of repetitive questioning since he's proven to be a powerful teammate. An enraged Beta begins to bicker at Ran since he acted a lot differently when he originally came to recruit him, but Ran answers that he's just sick of being annoyed by Beta nowadays. The rest of the team watch the verbal argument wondering if their team will really be ok like this.
Seeing Dan with a glum look on his face, Nobic ask what's wrong, which Dan answers that something about all this doesn't feel right. Sia steps in to stop Beta and Ran from fighting as Dan explains that the suspicion that someone is hiding behind Emile comes off as an incredibly dangerous person, but he can't seem to figure out who it could be. At this point, Team Nobic's attention is brought to the train car speaker announcing that they will soon be arriving in Train City. Hearing the announcer repeat the statement, Ran asks the rest of Team Nobic if it's about time they get going towards Train City.
Back to the orange train that Bam and Boro's company are in, Boro asks what Bam means by everyone in the Hell Train possibly dying. Bam answers that they need to stop the team that's going to try to pull that off before it happens, and informs Boro and company that the enemy team will be aiming to grab all the Express Tickets. Boro asks how the Express Tickets fit into the enemy's plan, which Bam explains that the enemy team is using Emile to gather all the people with the Hell Train tickets at Train City. Their plan is to lure everyone into a trap to take all 100 Express Tickets so that they can be the only ones that will be able to board the Hell Train. Bam points out that since there's been a limit placed on the ticket amount to only always being just 100 Express Tickets, the overall goal for the enemy team that's using Emile is to seize the Hell Train for themselves.
Having heard Bam's reason of needing to make a Hell Train team to fight this enemy group, Boro finds the whole idea to be absurd. He also concludes to himself that Bam is yet another person who doesn't appear to know of how dangerous the Hell Train truly is.
Boro asks of the enemy group that Bam keeps bringing up since they sound like a crazy bunch to come up with this kind of plan, which Bam answers that it's a certain person hiding behind Emile, which is also the same girl that pushed him away due to a deal she made with FUG. Looking down at the Emile tournament announcement on the terminal, Bam explains that the enemy is a long time friend who may now be his enemy. A girl who goes by the name, Rachel.
Meanwhile, at a third, dark-orange colored, train that's headed for Train City a battle had just concluded with a member of Rachel's team having slaughtered almost all of the passengers. The stick-biter D-ranker is seen moving each Regular corpse he's defeated into the middle isle, and counts up the Regulars he's defeated into the 90s. Reaching up to 99, the stick-biter realizes that he's one short of an even number as the last remaining Regular is left stunned in shock at the sight of the stick-biter killing off everyone else. The Regular begs the stick-biter not to kill him, and apologizes for attacking him to try to steal the Express Ticket away.
However, the stick-biter is annoyed that leaving one alive somehow always seems to happen to him, and goes in to finish off the 99th D-rank Regular. A moment later, the stick-biter sits on the corpse of the 99th Regular, and is left annoyed that he's never able to get an even number, and wishes that for once, the number would be a proper amount.
At this point, the stick-biter gets a call on his Pocket from one of Rachel's other teammates asking what he's been doing this whole time since they haven't been able to connect until now. The stick-biter orders his teammate to shut up since he's on a different level from the rest of the team, and reassures the caller that they don't have to worry about him since he will get his side of the job done. Holding an Express Ticket, the stick-biter asks how things are going regarding the team's preparation for the Train City tournament, which is answered that things are going well so far.
The caller asks if the stick-biter got a ticket for himself, which he answers that it was a given that he would. The caller then informs the stick-biter that soon enough, they will be able to reunite again at Train City, which the stick-biter replies for the caller to tell Rachel that there's something he needs to take care of here first. Before the caller could ask what he's referring to, the stick-biter cuts off the Pocket Call. An announcement is heard over the train speaker informing the stick-biter that they will soon be arriving at Train City. The stick-biter gives off a laugh that the tournament they've created through Emile is going to be fun.
Back to Bam's train, Boro replies that he's never heard the name Rachel before, which Bam explains that it's because she's only recently become a new D-rank Regular. Boro realizes what Bam is getting at, which Bam states that she was only an E-ranker just a few weeks ago. Boro remains confused about this situation, and asks Bam how Rachel believes she can take over the Hell Train if she had only just leveled up to D-rank just recently. Bam answers once more that it may be possible for Rachel to take all the Express Tickets, because she happens to have FUG backing her. Hearing the mention of FUG surprises Boro.
Boro thinks the situation over, and is irritated to hear that the FUG bastards have taken an interest in the Hell Train again. He realizes that this Hell Train run has become troublesome, and agrees to join the Train City tournament with Bam, which shocks Hanool, who has been silent this whole time. Boro adds in that he wishes to choose the members of their team given that he has obtained up to three Express Tickets, which Bam lets Boro do.
Hanool begins to realize what his teacher means by we as Boro remains silent having already decided to take Hanool along. However, given Felix's injury that she received from the blue-lizard Ticket Hunter, he figures that the only other person to take with his extra Express Ticket is to take the remaining pink-haired train crewmen that's here with them. The pink-haired girl begins to sparkle in excitement realizing that Boro is going to choose her to come along with the team. Boro asks for Hanool and the pink-haired girl to come along, which they both happily accept.
Boro explains that back at their original seat with Felix is the two spare Express Tickets that will be given to Hanool and the pink-haired girl, which shocks Hanool that someone like him will be going to the Hell Train. Bam asks if they're about ready to get going, which Boro states to their two new teammates that they will have to protect the Express Tickets that have been given to them, which Hanool and the pink-haired girl agree that that's a given for them.
The four of them make their way back to Boro's original train seat as Boro asks Bam how he knew about Emile and the tournament. He also wishes to know about the relationship Rachel has with FUG, which Bam simply answers that he knows everything because there's a member in his team that happens to be an associate of FUG (Hwaryun), which surprises Boro.
Bam flashes back to a time when he was with Hwaryun, who congratulates Bam for finally becoming a D-ranker. Rak is seen sleeping nearby as Hwaryun informs Bam that Khun and the Team Tangsooyook group have also recently become D-rank Regulars, and figures that it's about time for Bam to know of the path he will need to take from here on out. Hwaryun explains that within a couple months, a tournament will be held at Train City where D-rankers' Express Tickets will be put on the line.
She continues to explain that an important member of FUG will be assigned to Train City, and that the organization will be doing all that they can to recapture their precious Slayer Candidate. Hwaryun also warns Bam that there's a chance the enemy FUG Slayer Ranker, Karaka, could make an appearance at the Hell Train. She also mentions that there's a high chance the girl he's chasing will be there as well, which catches Bam's attention hearing that he may get to meet Rachel again on the Hell Train. Bam asks why Rachel would want to enter the Hell Train, which Hwaryun answers that she doesn't know herself except that it might be FUG using her as bait to lure Bam into a trap. She also jokes that it might just be Rachel missing him after all this time.
Hwaryun gives Bam the order to find new teammates on the private train he will be taking to Train City so that he will have a team that can enter the tournament. She leaves off stating that she and Rak will be waiting for him at Train City, and hopes that he comes across good teammates.
Returning to the present, Bam and his new company of Boro, Hanool, and the pink-haired girl, arrive back at Boro's original train seat, and see the unconscious Felix about to be taken advantage of by two D-rank Regulars. Hanool calls out to Felix hoping she's ok as the two opposing Regulars notice them. Boro becomes irritated seeing that there's still several survivors remaining on the train as Bam asks about the two spare tickets. Boro looks to the pants pocket of one of the opposing Regulars, and sees that they already managed to grab the two Express Tickets he took from the blue-lizard Ticket Hunter.
Hanool yells at the two Regulars asking what they're doing to Felix, and orders them to let her go. Boro turns to his student, and orders Hanool to handle this, which surprises Hanool. The teacher explains that this is Hanool's chance to prove that he has the right to hold an Express Ticket, and asks for Hanool to get the two Express Tickets back. Given that one of the tickets are going to be for him, Boro orders Hanool to get the ticket on his own power as Hanool steps forward unsure if he will be able to do this.
Hanool charges forward yelling to bring it on as the two opposing Regulars accept the challenge and charge as well. However, Hanool fails to put up a fight, and cowers to the ground begging Boro to save him as the two Regulars punch and kick at his back. Boro and Bam look at Hanool in disappointment as Bam mentions that he's surprised at how weak Hanool turned out to be. Boro thinks to himself that the sight of Hanool is embarrassing since he's been affiliated with him as his shinsu martial arts teacher. Watching Hanool get pummeled by the two Regulars, the pink-haired train crewmen asks if he's going to be ok being left alone like that since Hanool could end up dying if this keeps up. Bam answers that despite Hanool being weak, it will be ok for their team since he just needs enough team members to enter the tournament.
Bam orders Boro and company to just worry about dealing with the other D-rank Regulars, and he alone will be the one that deals with Rachel and her FUG colleagues. Boro is left surprised to hear Bam's confident announcement, and agrees that they will use this current team for Train City. He and Bam watch as the pink-haired girl tries to beg the two Regulars to stop beating up Hanool.
Meanwhile, another train (colored light-blue with an image of the idol Ha Yura on the roof) is also headed for Train City. An announcer named Kerros is heard informing the D-rank Regulars that he's in charge of the Hell Train, and will be the Test Administrator for this year.
The blue-haired idol, Ha Yura, gets herself ready in her private room as Kerros explains that in a few days, all the trains will reach Train City on the exact day that the Hell Train will depart the station. The Test Administrator also announces that a tremendous event will take place at Train City for those who haven't gotten a ticket just yet, and that a pre-tournament will be held for D-rankers to attempt to gain Express Tickets for a chance to board the Hell Train. Kerros also mentions that there's a rumor that one of the High D-rank ticket holders will be participating in the tournament, and asks if the D-rankers are willing to miss the big event.
Having heard Kerros' announcement, Yura calls the public D-rank Regulars stupid for believing everything that Kerros has said since the tournament is going to be fake. Looking down at an invitation envelope that has an Express Ticket, and Bam's picture, in it, Yura figures that Bam is just like the many stupid D-rank Regulars, and states that she will be sure to see him soon.
Returning to Team Bam's train, the unconscious Felix is seen waking up; having been provided a pillow and blanket to rest. Seeing herself in a medical room, Felix asks where she is, which the pink-haired train crewmen is surprised to find that Felix has already managed to wake up. Felix gets up to a sitting position, and sees that she now has bandages covering her chest area. She then looks around, and sees the pink-haired girl, Hanool, Boro, and Bam before her. Boro is glad to see that Felix managed to regain consciousness, and deduces that her injury must have not been as deep as they originally thought. Felix asks what's going on, which Boro answers that they're still on the train headed for Train City, and that she is just now waking up after taking the shinsu blast from the blue-lizard Ticket Hunter that attacked them. He also mentions that they brought her to the medical section of the train afterward to heal her injury, which Felix believes to now understand the situation.
The pink-haired girl asks Felix to hang in there just a bit longer since they're close to Train City as Felix realizes that the person talking to her is the train crewmen that was giving out snacks and drinks. Felix asks why she's here, and then turns to Boro asking what's going on.
Boro spends the next moments explaining everything that Bam has told them about what Rachel and FUG are planning with the tournament to take the Hell Train for themselves, and state to Felix that they've decided to join the tournament to stop them. However, he informs Felix that due to her injury, she won't be joining their team. Felix is stunned in disbelief at her teacher's answer, which Boro apologizes for since they don't exactly have any choice at this point. However, Felix agrees with the decision since she's not exactly in the best condition to be of use in the Train City tournament, and knows that she would only be a burden as a part of the team.
The pink-haired train crewmen reassures Felix not to worry since she will be able to join the team if they manage to get more tickets. Boro points out that he doesn't see the pink-haired girl as someone who will be able to protect an Express Ticket on her own, which enrages her to the point of reminding him that she's also managed to reach the Regular level of D-rank.
Felix asks what the pink-haired train crewmen's name is, which she answers that it's Hana Yu, and that her dream is to become an idol singer. Felix is surprised to hear the idol singer answer, which causes Hana to blsh that it's a bit of an embarrassing dream. Hana explains that she's always dreamed of becoming a famous person, and that she's climbing the Tower to become one. Boro jokes that Hana doesn't have the kind of face to become one, which enrages Hana due to the impolite comment, but admits that she has nothing more than a common face. Hana continues by stating that she hopes to one day become someone special; an idol that wil stand in front of a crowd. The first thing that comes to her mind is the idol, Ha Yura.
Thinking about how Yura sparkles, Hana states that the word, idol, gives off such a beautiful sparkle. Bam remains silent throughout Hana's speech as she shows off a poster to the group of the idol, Ha Yura. She states that she's looking forward to seeing the idol perform at Train City, which everyone asks who she is. Hana explains that she's a successful idol singer that debuted out of nowhere who also happens to be a skilled light-bearer D-rank Regular. She points out that Yura is planning to hold a concert at Train City.
Felix begins to get excited, and states that she's also looking forward to Yura's concert, which surprises Hanool upon hearing that the person he's training with under Boro is also a Yura fan. Hana is also surprised to hear that someone else here is a fan of Yura, which Felix states once more that she is. Hana begins to sparkle stating that she hopes to get Yura's autograph, which causes Felix to grab Hana's hands wishing her the best of luck. Hana grabs Felix's hand in return stating that the both of them will meet Yura no matter what as a confused Boro sees that a weird alliance has been created just now.
Boro reminds the group that even before they get the chance to meet the idol, they need to safely get to Train City first. Bam asks Boro what he means by that since they're pretty close to reaching Train City, which Boro explains that there's one final barrier waiting for them before they officially arrive at the first Hell Train station. Bam asks about the last barrier, which Boro answers that while it's not a difficult one, they should still be prepared for it as it could result in one of them getting killed. Hearing that the last barrier could kill them grabs everyone's attention, but suddenly, an announcement is made thanking everyone for using the train to arrive at Train Station.
The announcement surprises Boro since it means that they're already here as the train comes to a screeching halt at the edge of the platform for Train City. Hanool picks up the injured Felix to carry her on his back as Team Bam steps off the train onto the platform. To their surprise, the first thing they all spot is a giant elevator.
Meanwhile, Team Nobic is also seen getting off their train, and being dropped off at the Train City platform. Looking around, the members of the team question if this is really all there is to look at for the first Hell Train station, which Ran answers that this seems to be the case. He points the group to a Welcome to Train City sign to show that they are indeed in Train City.
They walk up to the giant elevator, which surprises Team Nobic even further that the Train City entrance is an elevator that has several buttons. The group reads off the Train City levels on the elevator buttons as 1F Hell Train Entrance, 2F Residence, 3F Restaurant, 4F Stadium, 5F Control Center, and 6F Skyscraper, in ascending order. One figures that the Stadium level is going to be where the tournament will be held, which another points out that it should have been obvious that that was the case. Another admits that at the very least, the elevator makes it really convenient to find the place they're looking for.
Sia asks what Team Nobic should do since the tournament isn't until tomorrow. She advices the group to use the rest of the time to rest at the Residence area, but Beta complains that the most logical route would be to check if Cassano is here. Sia calls Beta an idiot for believing that they can deal with Cassano so easily, and states that there's a huge possibility that they could end up losing to him even if they've properly prepared for the fight against him. She informs Beta that it wouldn't hurt to use this free time to prepare for the tournament tomorrow, and states that she would like to be in a hot bath right now.
Beta complains that washing up seems to be the only thing that women care about as Sia yells back to the Cassano-maniac that women taking care of their body is obvious. Beta becomes enraged at the Cassano-maniac nickname, but is interrupted by Nobic, who states that he's getting hungry, and would probably prefer to enter the Restaurant level. Dan points out how strange this elevator is advertising the location of the stadium so obviously, but Nobic points out that he's still happy with how convenient this elevator turned out to be.
Beta and Sia continue to bicker as Ran continues to stare at the elevator buttons. Getting annoyed by the constant Beta and Sia bickering, Ran decides to press the button for Train City's first floor to enter the Hell Train Entrance area. The group is left stunned to see Ran make an elevator choice without the rest of the team's consent as the elevator door opens.
Returning to Team Bam, Boro goes over the six elevator buttons for Train City as Hanool asks Boro what their first destination should be. Hana asks to go up to the Skyscraper level first as there's a nice view up there that she'd like to see. However, Boro asks if Hana thinks they're on a picnic or something, and wonders if he made the wrong choice by inviting her into the team. Boro informs the group that there's still no need to rush since the Express Ticket tournament isn't until tomorrow, which Bam advices that they should go for the residential level since there's the possibility that his friends are already here.
Bam asks Boro about going to the Hell Train Entrance, which Boro answers that they shouldn't since their path to the Hell Train will be blocked off by a guardian. The Irregular then asks about the guardian, which Boro explains that it's incredible to try to go up against as Team Nobic is seen getting off the elevator, and stands before said guardian. Boro concludes that their best option at the moment would be to meet the rest of Bam's friends first, and clicks the elevator button for the second floor's Residence area. The elevator door opens as Team Bam enters to head to the second floor of Train City.
Going up from the Arrival Platform to the first floor's Hell Train Entrance, the elevator slows down considerably, which Hanool complains about. Boro mentions that the elevator appears to have a delay each time it passes by one of the Train City floors, and informs the group that it will take some time for them to reach the second floor's Residence area. Still carrying Felix on his back, Hanool checks on her, and warns the rest that her condition appears to be getting worse. Boro reassures his students to just hang in there a bit longer as they're almost at the Residence floor, which Hanool agrees to do.
Boro asks if Bam's friends will truly be in Train City's Residence area, or have perhaps tried to bypass the guardians at the Hell Train Entrance, which Bam answers that he doesn't know for sure expect that he knows they aren't the type of people that would go the wrong way. Boro asks how he knows that for sure, and questions if Bam's teammate is perhaps a Guide, but before Bam could answer that that's the case, Hana interrupts.
Hana asks why they they can't go to the Hell Train Entrance since they will be passing by its floor before reaching the Residence level. Boro answers once more that it's because the entrance to the Hell Train will be protected by a guardian, which causes Bam to ask about it.
Boro explains to Bam and company that the guardian is actually the one for all of Train City. That it will probably be positioned at the main gate to the Hell Train until the express is finally ready to depart the next day.
At the Hell Train Entrance, Team Nobic approach a massive gate with a gaping hole in front of it that has several pillar platforms in the middle to jump across on. In front of the Hell Train gate, they spot an odd looking person in turquoise clothing (the guardian) sitting down as Ran asks the team what it is that they're looking at. Sia wonders if the guardian is human as Dan and Beta wonder if the thing is strong. Nobic adds in that if the guardian is looking for a battle, he will fight first. Hearing Taem Nobic fighting over who will fight it first, the guardian finally stands up.
Ran points out to Team Nobic that the guardian has finally chosen to stand as Nobic asks if this means that it's picking a fight with them. Dan asks if the guardian is some sort of D-rank Regular, but Nobic replies that he looks like some sort of special gatekeeper. The guardian orders Team Nobic to go back, which grabs everyones attention. The guardian explains that it's not the right time yet, and that the door to the Hell Train is not going to open. He orders once more for Team Nobic to go back, which Ran asks what the guardian means by that.
Nobic concludes that this proves that the guardian is indeed the Hell Train's gatekeeper. Ran states to the team that the door to the Hell Train is right before their very eyes, and it's their objective to get inside. He claims that waiting it out for the real departure is not one of their choices. Standing alongside the rest of Team Nobic, Ran apologizes to the guardian, and asks for it to move away from the Hell Train gate.
Hearing Team Nobic's answer, the guardian replies that they have left it no choice, and must be eliminated. The guardian created a black spear of shinsu with its left hand, and prepares for a fight against Team Nobic.
Meanwhile, Team Bam continue to wait in the Train City elevator; amazed at how slow it is since it's still stuck at the first floor's Hell Train Entrance when they require the second floor's Residence area. To pass the time, Boro asks about Bam's friend who's a FUG associate. Bam is confused by the sudden interest, which Boro explains that it caught his attention given how secretive the FUG organization is. He asks if the FUG associate is a former teammate, which Bam answers that it's sort of like that.
Boro then asks how Bam and his FUG associate managed to escape FUG when they're nothing more than rookie D-rankers, which Bam admits that it's a hard story to believe, but reassures Boro that it's the truth. Bam asks a question in return if Boro's interest in the subject means that he has ties to FUG as well, which Boro answers that he bumped into them during his first trip on the Hell Train, and turned into a troublesome event.
Boro continues his questioning asking Bam why he's choosing to start things up with FUG again when he's been given a chance to escape, and live quietly away from everything. Bam answers that it's because there's been many loose ends that he needs to take care of, and hopes that he can resolve all of it on this year's Hell Train run. At this point, the elevator finally starts moving again going from the first to the second floor of Train City.
Hana begins to get excited that the elevator is finally moving again as a sweating Hanool is glad to know that the Residence floor will be arriving shortly given that carrying around Felix has been tiring him out. Hana wonders if Hanool thinks Felix is heavy, which Hanool desperately tries to deny.
As the elevator resumes its climb up to the second floor, Bam thinks back to his conversation with Hwaryun. Following Hwaryun's announcement that Bam needs to make a team for the Train City tournament, Bam repeats the statement back to her checking if he heard correctly, which Hwaryun answers to be the case.
Bam replies that his current teammates should be enough, and asks what the point is of finding several others, which Hwaryun answers that it's because Bam has teammates he wishes to protect, but doesn't have any at the moment he could use to throw away to gain an advantage in a fight. Hearing what Hwaryun is asking of him gains Bam's attention as the guide explains to him that he's going to need teammates that can be abandoned without any hesitation.
The reason he's going to need these kind of teammates is because Bam will be entering the Hell Train, a place where a high amount of his teammates are going to die. She leaves off warning Bam that he better be prepared for when this time comes. Returning to the present, Team Bam’s Train City elevator Team Bam finally reaches the second floor's Residence area.
Back to Team Nobic at the Hell Train Entrance, Ran remains silent as he watches the guardian create several shinsu spears floating in the air. Ran turns to Dan, and asks what they should do since the guardian claimed that it's going to eliminate them. Ran questions if it's because they're trying to open something they shouldn't be, which Dan replies why Ran is asking him all this when it's Ran that's been picking a fight with the guardian. Ran admits that Dan has a point, but was interested in Dan's opinion since he's the most cold-hearted of all of Team Nobic. Yelling out to the guardian, Ran states to it that he doesn't know what it's trying to protect, and will wait it out if the only way to go through the Hell Train Gate is to wait until the appropriate team. However, Ran claims that he plans to move the guardian out of the way anyway, because its actions have been pissing him off.
Hearing Ran threaten it, the guardian throws its shinsu spears toward Team Nobic, and surprises the group by splitting the spears into multiple more. Many spears shoot across the gap towards Team Nobic as Dan complains that there's too many to deal with. Sia announces that she will block as many as she can with her lighthouse field, and orders for the rest of Team Nobic to figure out the rest.
The spears land upon Team Nobic as a giant explosion occurs upon them. Despite the ground before them being destroyed, Sia managed to protect the rest of the team from harm with her lighthouse field. The team reestablishes themselves after the spear blast as Nobic is left complaining about the guardian monster before them that managed to fire more than six Bang shots.
Beta admits that the guardian is pissing him off, but notices that Ran has already landed on one of the platforms in the gap before the guardian. Sparks shoot off Ran as they notice that the Khun member has already swallowed a Redan lightning pill to attack the guardian at his full power. Ran states that he didn't want to overdo it since the Train City tournament that was created by Cassano is right in front of their noses, but has decided to change his mind. Standing before the guardian that attacked them, Ran claims that he will find out what's behind the gate of the Hell Train Entrance.
Returning to Team Bam, the group is excited to see that they've finally reached the Residence area. Hanool continues to complain about carrying around the injured Felix as the group exits the elevator, and into a massive open room of the second floor where a vast amount of Regulars are waiting around on standby. Seeing the many Regulars standing before them surprises Hana, which Boro answers that this was a given since everyone without an Express Ticket has gathered at the entrance to Train City's Residence area unable to enter it. Bam asks what Boro means by them not being able to enter, which Boro answers once more that without an Express Ticket, they can't get a room at the Residence area. He warns the group that the Regulars are waiting here, because they're hoping that someone with an Express Ticket is going to open a Residence door. Boro asks for the team to be careful, and to see everyone in this room as their enemy.
Team Bam walks through the crowd of D-rank Regulars as a sweating Hana can't believe that everyone around her is an enemy. Boro answers that it's because this is a prime area for someone to try to gain an Express Ticket. Pointing at a room with the title, Residence 7, Boro explains that there are 100 Residence rooms that correspond with each number that's been given to the Express Tickets. That each Residence door can only be opened with the matching number.
Boro also points out the locks on the door as being a special kind that no matter what, the room can't be opened except with the correct Express Ticket. Boro further explains that it doesn't matter how many people are within a Residence room. All that's needed is the person with the Express Ticket, who in simplest terms, is the owner of the room while everyone else that enters is considered a freeloader. Boro warns the team that the reason everyone is waiting out here is for the exact moment that an Express Ticket holder appears to open the door.
Picturing the Regulars all glaring at them with red eyes, it will be at that very moment they're about to open the door where the Regulars are going to pounce on him to take the ticket, and claim the room for themselves, or they will simply try to become a minion of the ticket owner. Hanool asks Boro what he means by becoming a minion, which Boro answers that it's a possible result if the Express Ticket owner proves to be stronger than his or her attackers. Bam asks if this is another method to make a team for the Train City tournament, which Boro answers that while it is, this situation will make more sense with the correct time comes around.
Getting back to the main subject, Boro asks about the location of Bam's friends. Showing his Pocket with a message telling him to go to Residence 52, Bam believes that his friends already have a room here. Boro is glad to hear it, and states that they should go there as soon as possible since acting on their own at the moment could result in something bad happening. At this point, they're greeted by a blue-skinned D-ranker, which scares Hana.
Hana asks who the blue-skinned person is, to which he asks if they by any chance have an Express Ticket. His question grabs Bam's attention as the blue-skinned D-ranker states that if they're not a main Express Ticket holder, they should pledge their allegiance to Sir Aka. He explains to Team Bam that should they join under Aka, said leader will be sure to get them on the Hell Train. Hana remains confused by the mention of a person named Aka, which Boro asks if the blue-skinned person happens to be one of Aka Williams' henchmen.
Boro orders for the new guy to stop bugging his teammates, and to get lost, which grabs the blue-skinned D-ranker's attention seeing that Boro was amongst the group, and apologizes for his effort; implying that he knows who Boro is. Walking away, the blue-skinned person states how surprised he is seeing Boro starting the Hell Train over from the beginning again. He leaves off saying to Team Bam that they will be seeing one another again at the Train City tournament, and hopes that they find their Residence room.
Watching the blue-skinned man walk away, Hanool asks his teacher if he knows the guy, to which Boro answers that he's met their leader, Aka before. Hanool points out how scary the blue-skinned person looked, and fears at the thought that they're going to run into him again at the tournament.
Boro replies that it's a given due to how greedy a person like Aka turned out to be. He then warns the group to watch out for the dangerous Aka in particular as the idol, Yura is seen walking by them. She spots Bam amongst his new team as the latter states that it's about time for them to go to his friends' Residence room. Team Bam approach the room for Residence 52 as Bam asks what they're supposed to do at this point.
Boro answers that they have two options. They could either put their Express Ticket up to the lock sensor so that they can communicate to the people inside, or Bam could contact his friends through a Pocket. However, Boro warns the group that they have something else to take care of first as the D-rank Regulars that have been waiting outside approach them with their weapons ready.
Returning to the Hell Train Entrance, Ran stands ready to face the guardian having already eaten the lightning pill to power himself up. Beta complains that Ran is getting to enjoy the fun all by himself, but Dan points out that Ran is fighting for a different reason. Beta is left confused by the answer, which Dan explains that Ran is putting faith in his team to take part in the tournament while he goes all out to face the Hell Train guardian by himself. Dan figures that this is Ran's way of saving as much strength of Team Nobic as they can, but Beta asks if Dan really sees it that way. This time, Dan is the one who's confused, which Beta points the group towards Ran to look at his face.
Seeing Ran giving off a smile, Beta states that he's using this opportunity to have some fun. Watching Ran stand before the guardian, Beta admits that this fight looks fun, but decides to leave it to Ran to save his own energy for the eventual fight against Cassano. He also adds that unlike the rest of his team, he doesn't care to instantly see what's beyond the door that the guardian is protecting. Dan thinks to himself wondering if Beta's deduction of Ran was correct, but knows that Ran is someone who's trying really hard to maintain the team since this is the first assignment that Khun has provided for them. Dan believes that this is Ran's way of taking full responsibility, and hopes that the Khun member doesn't strain himself in this fight.
Seeing that the guardian has always had his back turned to them this entire time, Ran yells out to said guardian that seeing his back this entire time has been irritating him. Ran claims that he will be sure to make the guardian turn around, and face them properly. The Khun member also claims that he will be sure to make the guardian use the rest of his shinsu spears.
Having heard Ran's threat, the guardian states that the Regular is obviously a newbie that had just become a D-ranker, and states that Ran knows nothing. The guardian reminds Ran that this door is never going to open until the appropriate time, and claims that one spear will be enough to defeat the lightning boy. The guardian sends a spear towards Ran, which shocks everyone of Team Nobic. Ran is ordered to dodge it as a massive explosion from behind hit by the spear occurs at the platform Ran is standing on.
At that same time back at the Residence area, some of the Regulars that attacked Team Bam are now all lying on the ground defeated, and completely unconscious. Hana, Hanool, and Felix, are left in a state of shocked surprise witnessing Bam knock out as many as five of the Regulars as the few that are remaining are confused as to what just happened.
The three of them confirm that this proves that the boy on their team known as Bam is a strong one as the remaining Regulars get scared, and choose to make a run for it. Having just witnessed Bam fight, Bam admits that he's seen those kind of martial arts before, and like the rest of Team Bam, admits that the boy is a strong one.
At the entrance of Residence 52, a voice is heard getting closer to Team Bam complaining that not only has the boy arrived late, he's brought troublesome guests to their door. The rest of Bam's company has their attention brought to a giant alligator walking towards them as Hwaryun is seen next to Rak saying that this happened because the boy is too solf-hearted. Rak calls out to the black turtle, and states that it's been a long time since he's last seen Bam.
Meanwhile, back at the Arrival Platform, most of Team Rachel, which consists of herself, and four others (Cassano, Traveller, the jousting stick user, and the girl with long orange-hair), get off their 35th Floor express, and have arrived at Train City. The team reaches the elevator as the member with the long orange-hair looks at the station around her, as well as the six other floors that they can gain access to. Seeing the Restaurant option on the elevator buttons, the orange-haired girl licks her lips, and states that she's pretty hungry now.
The member with the giant jousting stick complains how her orange-haired teammate seems to always be hungry, to which she answers that she's not always like that if pretty clothes or handsome guys are around. The jousting stick user replies back that she ends up eating those things in the end as well, which the orange-haired girl admits that it's because she gets sick of them after a while, so there's no other option left at that point but to eat them.
The orange-haired girl asks Cassano of the team where he would prefer to go, to which the Devil of the Right Arm answers that it doesn't matter as long as it leads to completing his objective on the Hell Train. The orange-haired girl is left in disappointment at how boring the Devil of the Right Arm is turning out to be.
Rachel finally speaks asking how the plan is going since they need to acquire more tickets from the tournament, to which the girl with orange-hair answers that it's going well so far. The jousting stick user then asks about their final missing teammate, the grandpa D-ranker, which he is shown a Pocket to show that they've been unable to contact him. Not surprised by this situation, the orange-haired girl questions what their grandpa teammate is doing currently, but believes that he must already be here on the Hell Train ahead of them. One figures that they could use Emile to find his location, but is answered that it's not needed since it's pretty much a given that he will show up for the Train City tournament. Another asks about the whereabouts of another particular girl, to which Rachel answers that they don't have to worry about said girl because she's already made it to Train City. Rachel gives the order to her team that it's about time for them to get going as she clicks a button on the elevator.
Back to the Hell Train Entrance, smoke from the guardian's spear covers the platform spot where Ran was standing. Beta is left wondering if the large spear killed Ran off while Nobic admits that the guardian's attack was impressive. Sia calls Ran an idiot for trying to take on the giant spear attack as Beta begins to regret not stepping in to help due to Ran's pride. However, Nobic orders the room to look closer as a storm cloud is seen forming where the dust of the explosion was. Still with its back turned to Team Nobic, the lightning cloud gains the guardian's attention as Team Nobic witness Ran appears out of it with a lightning spear ready to attack the guardian.
Watching Ran's performance, the group is left stunned in amazement as Dan is left asking if Ran perhaps used a cloud teleportation to dodge the guardian's spear. Ran looks towards the guardian, and thinks back to how he's progressed to a higher level after his disgraceful double-loss against Anak. Thinking back to when he walked away from Anak at the Workshop party after the Battle x Gamble round, Ran concludes that he's strengthened himself to the point of no longer having to walk away in defeat, whether it be against said green lizard, or even Cassano. Ran claims to himself that this time, he will never again let someone slip by as he sends a massive lightning spear in the direction of the guardian.
The lightning spear explodes on the guardian as Team Nobic tenses up watching Ran's battle against the guardian. Seeing the dust covering the guardian, Sia is left amazed by the explosion as Ran wonders if his attack worked. The dust subsides, and to Ran's shock, he sees the guardian perfectly fine, and prepares to fire two new spears towards the lightning user.
Team Nobic are shocked to see the guardian still perfectly fine as they prepares themselves for the aftershock of the two spears that its about to fire. Ran is shocked as well finding it unbelievable that his attack didn't manage to damage the guardian, and is confused as to why he's still too weak. Ran prepares another lightning attack to counter the guardian's two spears, but it's at this point that the elevator behind him dings; implying that someone new has arrived on the Hell Train Entrance floor.
Swarming lightning shinsu in his hand, Ran wishes that he didn't have to go so far to use this attack against the guardian. The guardian prepares to fire his two spears as well, but the newcomer from the elevator, revealed to be the stick-biter from Rachel's Team, suddenly jumps forward towards Ran and the guardian. Ran is surprised by the sudden appearance of the new guy as the stick-biter orders Ran to move away as he's about to use a powerful skill that's meant for dealing with three people at once. The stick-biter swarms shinsu in his hands as he creates a defensive barrier to block the two spears that were thrown by the guardian. Ran is left stunned in confusion as to what's going on, and wonders if the stick-biter perhaps used some sort of barrier skill to absorb the guardian's two spears.
The stick-biter then lands on the platform Ran's standing on as the rest of Team Nobic wonder who the newcomer is. Speaking to Team Nobic, the stick-biter finds it surprising that there's a group of Regulars this time around that's ballsy enough to take on the Mirotic Guardian the moment they arrived at Train City. Seeing Mirotic preparing more spears, the stick-biter is glad to see that there's a good amount of promising rookies trying to board the Hell Train this year.
Meanwhile, at Residence 52, Hwaryun and Rak walk Bam and company into their Train City room. Hana is amazed at how large the room is as Hanool admits that the place looks incredible. Boro agrees with it, and seeing Hanool still struggling to carry Felix, he figures that it's about time he could put her down, which Hanool is glad to hear. Boro then looks around inspecting the room, and confirms that just like his first time on the Hell Train many years ago, the Residence area hasn't changed one bit. The mention of being on the Hell Train some years ago grabs Hwaryun's attention, which Boro explains that this will be this third time doing a Hell Train run. Boro realizes himself that the one-eyed red-head friend of Bam that he's talking to is the associate from FUG, and states that the only reason he agreed to be a part of this time is because he has a few questions regarding the Train City tournament, and the enemies he will be facing.
Hwaryun answers that even though Boro has a lot to ask her, she asks him to wait until later, which confuses Boro. Hwaryun answers that it's because a particular team has arrived at Train City just now, and will be starting the game soon, which grabs Bam's and Boro's attention. At this point, a voice is heard coming from the phone on a nearby Residence 52 table.
Bam and company turn their attention to the phone as the person on the other side states that it's time for them to start the game. Boro, Hana, and Hanool are surprised by the announcement as the speaker states that it's now 4:30pm, and that the last express has arrived at Train City for today. Since all the Regulars have now gathered, the speaker on the phone asks if they're interested to play a simple game. The speaker begins to explain the rules starting from the fact that there are still many Regulars who haven't made it into a Residence room. For those that haven't gotten an Express Ticket, as well as those who haven't been chosen by a ticket owner, the speaker states that this game will be their opportunity.
The game in question is known as The Last Seven, which grabs Bam and company's attention. Continuing the game explanation, the speaker states that, as the title of suggests, the point of The Last Seven is to reduce the amount of remaining Regulars that have arrived at Train City. All the Regulars standing in the large Residence area begin to understand the game as the speaker points out that the reason the game is called The Last Seven is because by the time the game is over, there will only be seven Regulars remaining.
Those seven who make it to the end will be given special Boarding Passes that will allow these seven winners to board the Hell Train to provide them another chance to steal away a true Express Ticket. The Regulars stand around in shock at the thought that theres another way to get on the Hell Train as the phone speaker reveals that Regulars who are already in a Residence room for the upcoming Train City tournament may also participate in this game. With the game explanation over, the speaker asks for The Last Seven game to begin.
Within the large Residence area, the blue-skinned Regular that tried to recruit Team Bam is seen sitting on a nearby bench, and talks with a teammate of his, Mahan, who's an Express Ticket holder. Thinking over the Last Seven game, the blue-skinned person states that Train City has come up with an interesting game, which Mahan replies that its a tempting offer to win a Boarding Pass since it gives the losers another chance to win one of the 100 Express Tickets. The blue-skinned Regular adds that since it's a game to sort out the remaining seven amongst the crowd, it's a game that could end in many different ways, and have many different variables involved.
Watching the giant free-for-all brawl going on before them, the blue-skinned Regular figured that this was going to be the result of the Last Seven game with everyone fighting one another. The blue-skinned person isn't surprised that the best plan the non-ticket holders could come up with is to beat eachother up, which Mahan replies that it's because the Regular group within the Residence area was so massive. Mahan adds that it's rare for the result to not end up like this with such a massive crowd, which his blue-skinned teammate agrees with considering that they're all just rookie D-rankers after all.
Mahan points out that this might end up being good for their team since it's a chance to scout for outstanding teammates that come out as winners in this Last Seven brawl game. The blue-skinned teammate agrees that it will be a good chance, and is ready to report anyone worthy he sees to Sir Aka. However, the blue-skinned Regular points out that the one he's truly interested in is the ordinary looking boy who appeared with Boro. He informs Mahan that he almost looked passed the boy due to his basic look, and naive-looking face, but was glad to have spied on him having witnessed his easy defeat of the Regulars that attacked him in front of Residence 52.
The blue-skinned Regular concludes that the boy with Boro has proven himself to be the best of the rookie D-rankers, and questions how Boro had come across such a powerful kid. The two of them continue to watch the brawl unfold as they inspect each Regular concluding if they're good or not. They spot a blonde-haired sword user wearing white clothes amongst the crowd slashing down his foes, and admit that he looks like an ok one. Meanwhile, idol Yura is seen appearing out of her Residence, and approaches the Regular brawl for the Last Seven game.
Within Residence 52, Bam and company watch the free-for-all brawl unfold amongst the Regulars outside their room from the room's monitor. Boro questions who the captain of the Hell Train is this year to come up with such a nasty game, and turns to Hwaryun to ask how she knew that this game was going to start soon. Hwaryun reminds him that it's because she's a part of FUG, and that because she's a guide, she can predict events that will be waiting for them down the line.
Hearing the revelation that Hwaryun's a guide shocks Boro since he came to that conclusion previously that Bam had a guide with him. Continuing to watch the monitor of the massive brawl, Hwaryun informs the group that the Last Seven game was designed to get rid of many of the Train City Regulars who have appeared since their intention is to have as few Regulars as possible for the Hell Train. She adds that the Express Ticket tournament that will go down after this has the same objective.
She then warns Bam and company that FUG seems to really want something from the Hell Train this year, which causes a surprised Boro to wonder if FUG is planning to do that thing he witnessed on his previous Hell Train run again. Hwaryun states to Bam and company that because FUG wants something on the Hell Train, they've put more effort into this year's Hell Train run by gathering a skillful bunch of low rank Regulars to their side to board the express. She also warns them that FUG seems to be playing a part in this Last Seven game. Hana remains confused by Hwaryun's explanation since it would mean that the higher-ups of Train City are corrupt, which Hwaryun informs her that corruption means nothing to people such as those within FUG.
Rak continues to listen to the explanation as Hwaryun states that FUG will do anything in order to achieve their goals. She also warns the group that FUG is the type of organization that will kill people, or abandon their loved ones, without feeling anything. Or perhaps even completely erase someone from this world. Bam continues to listen as well, which Hwaryun says to them that this year's Hell Train run, despite the corruption, will be no different than what FUG normally does when it comes to gaining something that they really want.
With the explanation over, Hwaryun states to Bam's new teammates that if they want to get on the Hell Train safely, they had better cooperate with her, Rak, and Bam. She warns them that tomorrow's main tournament will be something that they can't win on their own, and that even if they make it to the Hell Train, they could die very easily. Thinking over Hwaryun's entire explanation, Boro asks if the guide has any information on the FUG enemies they will be facing, which Hwaryun answers that while she doesn't know all of them, some are former E-rankers that had just recently become D-rank. She also warns the group that there's apparently a D-rank Express Ticket holder who's cooperating with FUG.
Outside Residence 52, idol Yura continues to walk towards the massive brawl that's been going on for the Last Seven game. The fighting Regulars all around have their attention brought to Yura as the blue-skinned Regular and Mahan also spot her walking towards the crowd. Hana of Team Bam spots her on the monitor as well, and asks for the rest of the team to look as well.
Bam has his attention brought to the monitor as Yura takes off her glasses, and states that this is cruel to make people fight over boarding passes. She orders for the remaining Last Seven Regulars to stop fighting, and asks everyone to form a team with her. Hana screams out in excitement, which a confused Boro asks what's the matter. A shocked Hana states that it's because the blue-haired idol girl they're looking at is the idol, Ha Yura.
Boro is left confused about what's going on, and remembers that Hana mentioned that she was the idol singer she was talking about beforehand. He questions why a famous celebrity would show up in a place like this.
Returning to the Hell Train Entrance, a confused Team Nobic looks upon the stick-biter Regular that protected Ran from the Mirotic Guardian's spears. Nobic asks who the hell the new guy is as the stick-biter notices Ran's blue hair. He asks if Ran is perhaps a member of the Great Khun family, which confuses Ran. Biting his stick, the stick-biter claims that he knows Ran isn't an everyday kid since he managed to endure an attack from the Mirotic Guardian.
Showing his full face for the first time, the stick-biter states that he's found an interesting batch of D-rank newbies. The stick-biter introduces himself as Daniel Hatchid, and gives his greeting to Team Nobic asking once more if Ran really is a member from the Khun Family. Beta remains suspicious of the guy as Ran answers Daniel that he is indeed a member of the Khun Family. Ran asks why the stick-biter is interested, to which Daniel states that he's just happy to see a fellow Express Ticket holder. He admits that Ran is an impressive one for taking on the Mirotic Guardian despite all the other D-rank newbies running away the moment they see it. Ran asks what Daniel means by the Mirotic Guardian, which Daniel answers that it's what the gate guardian is known as.
Daniel explains to Team Nobic that Mirotic is a guardian system that protects the Train City station entrance to the Hell Train. He claims that it acts like a Floor Administrator to make sure that Regulars don't perform unexpected actions by heading off to the Hell Train too early. He also warns Team Nobic that the guardian has an illusion skill for combat, which is why Mirotic can't take any damage physically. Daniel then informs Team Nobic that Mirotic will disappear from the gate tomorrow when it's finally time for the Hell Train to depart Train City. He also warns Ran that no matter what until that point, they won't be able to beat Mirotic, which Ran asks if Daniel truly believes that they're that weak.
Daniel replies by telling them that the Mirotic Guardian isn't going to attack them unless it's provoked. He advises Team Nobic to stop what they're currently doing, and to return to head for the Residence floor since he heard that they seemed to have started some sort of game there. Ran remains silent thinking it over as Daniel asks if said Khun member is going to be taking part in tomorrow's Train City tournament.
Ran answers that he is, and asks Daniel why he cares, which the stick-biter states that it's because it's become an interesting situation. Biting his stick, Daniel states that he will be participating in the tournament as well.
Back at Residence 52, Boro finds it unbelievable that idol Ha Yura would show up at Train City, and figures that Hana must be mistaken. Hana assures him that she is correct on this, but is confused as well as to why Yura's here since she's supposed to be preparing for a concert. Outside Residence 52, the swordsman user steps forward asking Yura why everyone should team up with her.
Another of the Regulars mentions that he knows who they're looking at, the idol genius from the Ha Family. He asks why she's here instead of preparing for the concert, which Yura answers that she's decided to quit being an idol in order to board the Hell Train. The revelation leaves Hana stunned having just heard that Yura is preparing to quit at being a famous idol singer.
The sword user asks Yura if what he just heard was correct, which Yura answers to be the truth. Yura informs everyone that there's something she really wants on the Hell Train, and the concert she's decided to perform at Train City was her way of getting here so that she can quit after her last performance, and quickly get aboard the Hell Train. She states that the reason she's doing this is because if there's something she desires, she must have it.
One of the Regulars asks how everyone becoming her team would be possible given that there's only going to be seven Boarding Passes provided from the Last Seven game, which Yura answers that it's because she has two Express Tickets in her possession. Yura informs them that by using the two Express Tickets she has, she can get everyone into the Hell Train, as well as leave seven others here to complete the Last Seven game to get the seven Boarding Passes. With her explanation over, Yura asks the Regulars if they like the sound of her offer to join her team. The sword user and the other Regulars of the Last Seven game talk amongst each other over the offer. They figure that more fighting here wouldn't do them any good, and that the combination of Yura's two ticket teams and the Boarding Pass rewards will be enough for them all.
The Regulars all begin to agree to take Yura's offer as Mahan claims to his blue-skinned teammate that they have a disruptor here. However, the blue-skinned teammate remains silent inspecting the former idol before him, and is convinced that the vibe she's giving off is similar to Sir Aka's. With all the remaining Regulars convinced, Yura asks if it's about time for them to begin.
Back to within Residence 52, Hana is left amazed at what Yura was able to accomplish having everyone join her side with just a few words. Boro remains stunned unable to believe what he just saw as an excited Hana states that she can't believe the thought of actually being on the same Hell Train as Ha Yura. An enraged Boro asks why Hana is so excited given that Yura is their enemy, which Hana counters that she could become a friend of theirs later on. Boro warns her that there will be no chance of friendship the moment they board the Hell Train. Outside Residence 52, the speaker is heard stating that due to the Regulars having teamed up with Express Ticket holder Yura, the game is over. Boro asks Hana if she knows why the remaining Regulars all decided to team up with Yura, but he answers for her that it was so they could reach the next stage by making it to the Train City tournament.
Bam and company continue to discuss how the Last Seven game is already over as Boro asks if there's going to be any more surprises until tomorrow's tournament, which Hwaryun answers that there shouldn't be. Boro then asks once more about the relationship Hwaryun has with FUG, which the guide replies that she will now answer what he wishes to know. Bam suddenly heads off to his room in Residence 52, which Boro finds to be an unfriendly way to leave them all hanging.
Boro asks Hwaryun if Bam is always like that, which Rak finally speaks asking who the new gray-haired turtle is that's asking all the questions that came along with the black turtle. Boro is confused by the statement of being called a turtle, which Rak answers the question for Boro that Bam wasn't always unfriendly. Rak adds that there was a time he thought Bam returned to normal after breaking away from FUG, but has noticed that he's been acting down again recently. The alligator states that he's often wondered these days what it is that Bam is thinking about.
Understanding the situation a bit more, Boro states that he heard that Bam's Hell Train run is to meet an old FUG friend, which grabs Hwaryun's attention again. She asks Boro about what he mentioned earlier about knowing something about FUG, which Boro answers that he once had an encounter with the organization. Boro explains that he met them on a previous Hell Train run, and perhaps knows what FUG is looking for.
Back to the Hell Train entrance, Ran asks what Daniel meant about the stick-biter being a part of tomorrow's Train City tournament, and questions why he should care bout Daniel participating. Daniel informs Ran that he should care because with him competing in the tournament, all the newbie kids won't stand a chance at gaining an Express Ticket. The claim confuses Ran, which Daniel explains that Team Nobic will see soon enough once the tournament begins tomorrow. Biting his stick again, Daniel states once more that the kids of Team Nobic don't stand a chance of getting the Express Tickets. Crunching the stick again, Daniel taunts them that there's zero chance of any of the kids here boarding the Hell Train.
Team Nobic begin to get annoyed by what Daniel is claiming as sparks begin to envelop Ran claiming that what he's hearing is dog-shit. Daniel bites his stick once more as Ran prepares his electricity stating that they don't have to wait until tomorrow to see which of them is the boss. However, Daniel instantly appears next to Ran, and states that there's no need to rush since the game hasn't started yet. Daniel's movement confuses Ran since he didn't notice the D-rank stick-biter get up close to him. Witnessing Daniel's speed also shocks the rest of Team Nobic.
Speaking from the left side of Ran, Daniel asks for Ran to give it some time since he doesn't want to spoil such a delicious plate just yet. He warns Ran that he will soon feast upon him as he leaves off the platform Ran's standing on, and quickly bypasses the rest of Team Nobic back to the Train City elevator. He yells back to Team Nobic that he will gladly be waiting for said kids at the fourth floor's Stadium level, and then disappears after re-entering the Train City elevator.
In his private room of Residence 52, Bam thinks back once more to the past conversation he had with Hwaryun. She asks if he's ready to get going, which Bam answers to be the case. Hwaryun reminds him that they're to reunite at the final stop of the 35th Floor express known as Train City, and to make sure that he keeps his FUG identity of Jue Viole Grace a secret from everyone he encounters along the way. Hwaryun also adds that Bam should find up to three new teammates, and to not go any higher than that, which leaves Bam silent as he turns around to depart.
Before Bam could leave, Hwaryun states that his journey is not going to end any time soon, which confuses him. Hwaryun informs him that while she doesn't know what FUG is after aboard the Hell Train, he is still someone that will need to continue to train to become even more powerful. She adds that it's not only the physical body that Bam needs to strengthen, but also his mental toughness. Only then will Bam be able to climb the Tower on his own, and stand tall before Rachel. Returning to Residence 52, Bam continues to think about what he was told from Hwaryun as he looks over pieces of paper that allowed him to train in different techniques that were used by people throughout the Tower. A moment later, a message comes up on Bam's Pocket.
Meanwhile Emile sends out a message to all the Train City teams over the hand terminals. The Emile message asks for all Train City Regulars to come to the fourth floor's Stadium area of Train City by 2:00pm tomorrow. The tournament for Hell Train Express Tickets will begin at that time.
Hanool runs up to Boro who has possession of the blue-skinned Ticket Hunter's Emile terminal, and asks what's going on, which Boro goes over what Emile's message said about the tournament to his student. Hwaryun grabs Boro's attention once more, and asks for Boro to tell her more about his encounter with FUG. Boro explains that when he entered the Hell Train for the first time, he ended up running into a former Slayer Candidate from FUG.
Hwaryun asks for the Slayer Candidate's identity, which Boro answers that he doesn't exactly know who he was since he always hid himself, but it's because of that Slayer Candidate that he ended up experiencing something horrible on the Hell Train. Hwaryun remains confused by Boro's story, which Boro further explains that the Slayer Candidate left something there hundreds of years ago, and that what FUG is after must be that thing. He concludes to the rest of Bam's group that this year's Hell Train run may end up being more dangerous than he expected. In Bam's private Residence 52 room, Bam gets a Pocket message from Khun informing the former that he won't be making it to Train City until tomorrow.
Bam is left thinking about how Khun is doing as Hwaryun knocks on his door, and enters the room. Hwaryun informs him that the tournament time for tomorrow has been set, and that there's something else she needs to discuss with him. Bam reunites with the rest of his team outside his private room, and is told that Boro had encountered FUG on a previous Hell Train run.
Hwaryun explains that Boro told her about running into someone who claimed to be FUG's Slayer Candidate, which catches Bam's attention given that he also holds that title as Viole. Boro speaks next that what he told Hwaryun was correct about coming across a Slayer Candidate on the Hell Train. He explains that as the Hell Train travelled up to its final destination on the 43rd Floor, the Slayer Candidate went about killing everyone on the express until he was the only one left. The revelation shocks Hana and Hanool, which Boro states that the Slayer Candidate accomplished it by remaining in the shadows since the very beginning, and the end result was everyone dying. Hwaryun asks how that's possible since the Hell Train stops at other stations along the way to the final 43rd Floor to pick up new passengers, which Boro answers that while that's the case, the Slayer Candidate still managed to pull it off. In the end, only five people, including himself, survived the Slayer Candidate's massacre, and Boro admits that it was luck that allowed him to survive.
Boro explains that of the five survivors, four were incredibly strong, but one ended up dying while the rest were forced to forfeit that Hell Train run before the Slayer Candidate could finish them off. He also states that it's strange how he can't really remember the events that well, but remembers the exact words that the Slayer Candidate left him when they escaped the Hell Train. That one day, he will return, and that the Slayer Candidate will be hiding the item on the train until he returns. A road that will be known as Revolution Road.
Having heard Boro's story, Hwaryun asks if what FUG is trying to obtain is the hidden item that was stashed away by the Slayer Candidate somewhere on the Hell Train, which Boro answers that while he doesn't know for sure, there's a high possibility of that being the case. Boro adds in that the reason he's returning to the Hell Train is for his friends sake, who all ended up dying on the express. By finding the Slayer Candidate's hidden item, it will mean that those people who died can finally rest is peace.
Thinking it over, Hwaryun admits that it's incredibly suspicious regarding the Slayer Candidate's hidden item. Bam thinks it over as well, and wonders what it is that FUG, as well as Rachel, are trying to accomplish on the Hell Train.
Meanwhile, Team Rachel are seen in another room looking at the tournament message left by Emile. The long orange-haired girl informs the group that the announcement has been made official about the tournament starting tomorrow at 2:00pm. The orange-haired girl also wonders if now that their plan is finally starting, it will mean that things will finally start to get more interesting. She calls out to Rachel to hear her answer, but Rachel remains silent as she holds an Emile terminal buzzing in her right hand. Entering the room of Team Rachel is the stick-biter, Daniel, who finds it funny that Rachel is looking at a tournament message that she sent to herself.
Daniel states that the newbies are indeed a fun bunch, which gets on the long orange-haired girl's nerve. Daniel asks if the children are ready to begin the party, but Rachel remains silent. The orange-haired girl asks what was taking Daniel so long treating this mission like a joke, which Daniel asks for her not to be mad since he had his own reason for being late.
Annoyed, the orange-haired girl isn't buying it, and believes that Daniel was just wasting time chatting with other people. She's also annoyed that Daniel didn't bother to tell them what he was doing out on his own, which Daniel asks for her to give him some slack since he's here now, and will be travelling together from here on out. Daniel asks if they've already talked to higher management, which the orange-haired girl answers that they did, and that they've agreed to help them with this mission. She also informs Daniel that they got word from the D-rank girl cooperating with them that she will soon join the team with them.
Seeing that no problem has popped up, Daniel states that while everyone is out enjoying the party, Team Rachel will be the ones that shall enjoy the real party. He gives off a grin knowing that everyone is going to be surprised, and states that the thought of the tourament tomorrow is getting him excited.
The next day, the time is now 1:00pm. On the Residence floor of Train City, two Regulars stand guard at the elevator door as another Regular asks why they're blocking the way. The Regular states that they need to go to the tournament, but the larger of the two guards apologizes that he's been ordered not to move until the tournament is finished. He asks for the Regulars to wait until then, which annoys the Regular trying to get passed. Team Nobic, who spent the night on the Residence level, arrive at the elevator as Ran is left confused at the sight of the two people blocking the Train City elevator.
Meanwhile, Team Bam are seen on the third floor's Restaurant level enjoying a meal before the tournament. Hanool is amazed ot see the amount of food Hana's been eating, which Hana complains that girls are just as human as anyone else when it comes to eating. Hwaryun asks for the group to eat as much as they like, but also make sure that they don't upset their stomach.
Boro agrees since the tournament is about to start, and asks for everyone to make sure that they're ready by that time. Thinking things over, Boro states that it's a good thing they decided to go to the Restaurant level of Train City early since the fourth floor Stadium is just one floor above them. He also mentions that the Regulars leaving later have gotten themselves trapped on the Residence floor since blocking off the elevator there is an easy way to reduce the competition if they can't even make it to the tournament in time.
Boro assumes that there was probably a team assigned to the Residence floor elevator entrance with that exact thought in mind. Given their past experience of how long it takes the elevator to switch between Train City floors, it was obvious that those who move ahead will be at the advantage. Continuing to eat his food, Boro states that they should wait just a little bit longer, and then go up to the Stadium floor what it's about the right time. Meanwhile, at the Residence floor elevator, Team Nobic easily defeats the two Regulars guarding the elevator entrance, as Ran states that it's time for them to capture Cassano. They then enter the elevator, and head off to the Stadium level in order to join the tournament.
Switching to the fourth floor's Stadium area of Train City, the D-rank Regulars gather to begin the tournament for the Hell Train Express Tickets. A small bot acting as the announcer asks for all Regulars to gather at the center of the stadium as Team Bam is seen amongst the crowd. Rak mentions how its become really noisy here, and wonders if the Express Tickets are really that important. Boro is shocked by the statement, and asks Rak if this means that the alligator doesn't have an Express Ticket, which Rak answers that he doesn't, but is strong enough to get on the Hell Train without it.
Boro assures Rak that the alligator won't be able to, which stuns Rak; leaving Boro to wonder if the alligator is stupid. The announcer continues to speak, and states that for Regulars to participate in the tournament, at least one member of the team must have a Hell Train ticket. The announcer also states that the winning team will be provided Boarding Passes for the remaining Regulars that are teammates of the Express Ticket holder so that they will be allowed to get on the Hell Train.
The announcer bot states that there will be five members to each team, and those who don't make up that number here will randomly be placed into groups to make the remaining five-man teams. At this point, the time has now reached 2:00pm. The announcer states that after compiling the data amongst the Regulars here, the tournament bracket has been set for the eight teams that are here: Team Bam, Team Yura, Team C, Team Bero, Team Aka, Team Ran, Team Royal Teal, and Team H.
Looking at the board, the teams see that the Bam and Yura teams will be the first match, C and Bero teams will be the second match, Aka and Ran Teams will be the third match, and Royal Tel and H teams will be the fourth match. In addition, a mysterious Team X has been established as the final opponent that will be matched up against whichever team wins the tournament. Meanwhile, Team Rachel is seen away from the Stadium tournament; having exited the elevator, and entered the second floor's Hell Train Entrance area.
Looking at the brackets, Hana is surprised to see that Team Bam and Team Yura will be facing off against one another in the first round. She begins to sparkle in excitement as to how lucky she is to see the celebrity Yura's face up close, but Boro finds this to be a bad sitaution since Yura is a member of the Great Ha Family. Bam looks to the rest of the brackets, and is surprised to see a Team run by Ran, who will be going up against Team Aka.
Meanwhile, Team Nobic are also in the Train City Stadium, and look over the eight bracket teams for the tournament. Ran sees that their team is going to be facing off against Team Aka, but informs the rest of the team that he doesn't know someone named Aka. Nobic replies that it doesn't sound like a team that Cassano would be a part of, which annoys Ran since it means that they got to deal with small fries first.
Beta also points the team towards Team Bam in the first match, and asks if that's the real name of the Completed One known as Viole. Beta is left disappointed that he's not in perfect condition to face off against Viole, but Ran reminds him that their goal isn't to face Bam this time around. Ran orders Beta, and the rest of the team, to not stray from their original goal, which is to find Cassano at all costs no matter what gets in the way here. Nobic asks if they're going to wait for Cassano to appear in the tournament, which Ran answers to be the case. They should even give up their Express Tickets if it means that they can strike at Cassano. Sia continues to look at the bracket teams, and notices that the team going up against Team Bam is Yura, who was a name mentioned by the Regulars they defeated at the Residence elevator.
Previously at the Residence elevator entrance, the defeated large Regular asks for Tema Nobic to give up since their efforts in the tournament will be no use. The claim confuses Ran, which the large Regular explains that after seeing her true identity at Team Yura's residence room, they will all have their tickets taken away by her. Before the large Regular could say any more, he falls unconscious, which leaves Ran wondering what's going on.
Returning to the present, Sia looks up Ha Yura's information on her lighthouse, and informs the group that she's a D-rank Regular that also happens to be a popular idol. Sia also states that she's most likely really powerful given that she's from the Great Ha Family, but can't seem to find any information as to why she's so special apart from becoming a D-rank Regular at a quick pace, and that she's taken a job as an idol singer.
Nobic finds it funny how things worked out that a member of the Ha Family became a singer, which Ran replies that she must have something else in mind. Ran hopes that the Ha idol will make things interesting for him, but is also left curious as to how strong Viole has become ever since the Workshop Battle.
The announcer bot begins the tournament explanation that only the eight registered teams will be allowed to participate in the tournament. Each match will have different game events, and the teams must deposit one Express Ticket to enter into their bracket match. The bot also adds that additional members can enter each match by depositing their Express Ticket. For example, three members participating would have three Express Tickets deposited. The bot warns the teams that running out of Express Tickets will result in a loss for that team, and all the deposited tickets of the losing team will be handed over to the winning team. The bot points out that those with more tickets will be at an advantage, but also warns the teams that they'll be put more at risk if they lose a majority of their Express Tickets in a loss.
The bot states that the reward for the team that completely wins the tournament will be provided a High Number Boarding Pass. The pass will allow for the winning team to board the front sector of the Hell Train. With the explanation over, the bot states that the tournament will begin in ten minutes, and asks for the Regulars to standby in their waiting rooms to get as much rest as they can before the start of the tournament. Having heard the rules, Boro mentions that he doesn't like how this is going as it could result in them losing all their Express Tickets.
Boro also doesn't like the idea of already going up against a member of one of the Ten Great Families in Ha Yura. Hanool asks if withdrawing from the tournament would be a better idea, and wait for a better opportunity to get on the Hell Train. However, Boro asks his coward student if he wants his ticket taken away from him, and warns Hanool that not winning here will result in no Hell Train run for him.
Rak interrupts the conversation saying that there's no need to be scared of a member of a Great Family since in the end, they're all lousy turtles. The alligator informs the group that he knows of a blue turtle from the Great Families that's completely useless, which surpries Hanool. However, Boro thinks this over wishing that Rak was speaking the truth since he's got a bad feeling about something that's going to go wrong with this tournament.
At another location in the Train City Stadium area is Team Yura looking over the bracket match-ups. The blonde sword-user is shown to have become a part of her main tournament team, and points out that they're off to a bad start given that their Express Ticket count is low compared to the other teams. However, Yura reassures the team that it doesn't matter since their team is strong enough to get a lot of the tickets. She also assures the team that as long as she's here, they are not going to ever lose, which excites the rest of the team.
Inside Team Bam's waiting room, Hwaryun greets the group stating that it was obvious that Team Rachel was going to be hiding themselves from the rest of the tournament teams. She also explains that she doesn't know where FUG's at, but reminds them that winning the tournament is going to be important to find out what the organization is up to. Boro goes over that Team X appeared to be the most suspicious amongst the brackets, but also warns the group that there's a possibility that FUG is amongst more than one team. He states that their goal overall should just be on winning the tournament, which Hwaryun states that the tournament rules are just like what the announcement bot had sad. That having more Express Tickets will allow to send more people into the tournament, and that defeat will result in them losing Express Tickets.
Thinking their situation over, Boro deduces that Team Bam has the advantage since they have more Express Tickets than the other teams, but also points out that they might as well have two throw away tickets; implying that Hanool and Hana are useless. Hanool and Hana begin to complain that they're D-rank Regulars just like everyone else that has made it this far, which irritates Boro despite meaning what he implied. Hwaryun suggests the team to rely on efficiency by winning Express Tickets using the least amount of their own tickets as possible. It would also be a great help if a single person of Team Bam can score consecutive victories without having more people entering the match-ups.
Hana asks why they need to worry since they easily have enough tickets to win them all, which Hwaryun answers that while it's true that they're at a huge advantage, things could change depending on the game types the tournament forces them to play. She points out that their advantage will quickly disappear if they end up playing games that will require as few people as possible, and warns Team Bam to be cautious of Team Yura the most of the seven opposing teams. She warns the group that the outcome of their first match will be decided by how strong Ha Yura truly is. The ten minute timer ends as the bot announcer asks for all teams to enter the center of the stadium with their Express Tickets at hand.
Team Bam and Team Yura enter the stadium to begin the first match of the tournament, and stand against one another in front of a blue table. Hanool admits that the suspense is making him nervous while Hana gets excited upon seeing the famous idol, Yura, right in front of her. The announcer bot asks for the Team Leaders to walk up to the blue table to deposit their first Express Tickets for the first match. Bam and Yura walk up to the table, which Yura says to the former that it's nice to meet him, which grabs Bam's attention. However, instead of calling him Bam, Yura calls him by his FUG name, Jue Viole Grace, which surprises Bam to the point of wondering how she knows his Slayer Candidate identity.
Beginning the first match between the Bam and Yura teams, the announcer bot states that the tournament will now begin. Revealing a giant yellow ball creature with one eye, a smiley face, and two red horns, the bot states that the two teams will be playing the Crazy Yellow Ball game. Looking at the yellow ball creature, Hana wonders if it's really a ball or just a monster, which Hanool agrees that the thing looks suspicious. From Yura's team, one of the opposing Regulars notices Team Bam's confusion, and laughs at the fools claiming that this match-up turned out perfect for Team Yura.
Bam continues to look at Yura opposite of him as the announcer bot asks for everyone's attention as it begins to explain the rules of the Crazy Yellow Ball game. Yura gives off a grin as a confused Bam continues to wonder why she knows his FUG identity.
Beginning the Crazy Yellow Ball game explanation, the bot asks for all the Regulars to look to the game stage behind them. Four large colored panels appears on the floor, which the bot states that what they see is the field where the game will be held. Boro also notices the a Goal at the end of the four panels as Rak adds that the field looks tasty like a banana. The same four colored floor panels, plus the goal post, is seen behind Team Yura as well for a total of 8 panels, and two goal posts. The bot continues to explain that the point of the game is simple. A team must run with the ball to the opposing goal post to win the game.
The bot states that a neutral jump ball gimmick will start the match when the whistle is blown. Whoever wins the jump ball will be the team that starts off with possession first. The team that has possession of the yellow ball will then work their way across the arena panels to the opposing team's goal post.
The announcer bot then begins to explain the purpose of the floor panels. That a team with the yellow ball can advance no more than two spaces in one turn, and the ball will then be handed over to the opposing team for them to make their advancement move. The announcer bot also warns the two teams that there's a reason the ball is known as the Crazy Yellow Ball. If a player holds onto the ball for more than ten seconds, the ball will become red and aggressive to the point of being almost impossible to control. The bot advises for teams to pass the ball around while advancing towards the enemy goal post so that the ball will always remain in a calm state.
Having heard the game's explanation, Hana questions if the overall purpose is to run at the goal with the ball, which Hanool mentions that it sounds like a version of Rugby. Hana asks what he means by Rugby, which Hanool explains that he heard of a Tower Floor that plays Rugby for fun where the basic rule is to score points by carrying the ball to the opposing team's goal post. Hana is left amazed to hear the that useless musclehead Hanool knows a crucial pieces of information, which annoys Hanool due to the musclehead nickname. Thinking over the Crazy Yellow Ball game, Boro deduces that the rules are an advantage for them, but has also notices that Bam is acting weird after meeting Yura face-to-face.
The bot states that the game will begin in five minutes, and asks for the Bam and Yura teams to use this moment to prepare who will be participating, and where they will be placed on the arena. Hwaryun watches from the sideline, and confirms that Team Bam will have the advantage since any number of people can join the Crazy Yellow Ball game. However, she deduces once more that the game changer will be how powerful Ha Yura turns out to be.
At that moment, Hwaryun hears a voice saying to her that they knew Yuto was going to be here, and asks why she's not participating in the tournament. Hwaryun turns her attention to the Regulars speaking to her, and realizes that it's Nobic and Ran. Hwaryun asks for the two of them to stop acting like her friend by using the Yuto name, which Ran counters that he also prefers to not act friendly towards someone who was also hiding her identity from them. Ran questions what Hwaryun cooked up behind-the-scenes this time by gathering everyone up at Train City, but Hwaryun just replies with a grin.
A moment later, the bot announces that the first match of the Train City tournament for Express Tickers will now begin. The announcer bot asks for the two players to arrive at the center of the arena for the jump ball, which unsurprisingly turn out to be Bam and Yura.
Meanwhile, Hanool stands behind Bam as a 1st-line Striker, and a nervous Hana stands at the 2nd-line tasked as the Defender. At the back, Boro and Rak have been assigned as the Goalkeepers. On Yura's side, a Regular named Pierre gives of a giggle, who has been tasked as the 2nd-line Defender. In total, Team Bam used five Express Tickets to allow all five teammates to participate while Team Yura only used two.
Rak is left annoyed that he was given the task of goalkeeper, but Boro states that something about this is weird, which catches Rak's attention. Boro explains that according to the rules, people assigned as Defender can't move to another space, and finds it confusing why Team Yura would waste their second Express Ticket on a Defender rather than have an offensive Striker or a Goalkeeper. He goes over to Rak how the battle will turn out where Pierre will be useless once the 2nd-line is breached, and Yura will end up in the poor position of having to attack and defend at the same time. Boro is left wondering what Yura is trying to pull as the Crazy Yellow Ball game begins. The bot blows the whistle for the jump ball, which Bam instantly jumps in the air for to grab the ball. However, Yura chooses not to move.
Rak is excited at Bam easily getting the ball, but Boro remains confused as to why Yura didn't act. Bam calls for Striker Hanool to get moving as Boro's student agrees to do, and runs forward to get the ball from Bam. Hanool runs passed the still standing still Yura, and charges directly toward Defender Pierre. Yura's teammate gloats that Hanool won't be able to pass him, but Bam runs alongside Hanool, and asks Mr. Pig to have the ball returned to him, which causes Hanool to pass the ball back.
Pierre gloats once more that he knew Team Bam was going to do that, but before he could move in on Bam, he gets hit by Bam's freezing Bang. Bam then easily advances to the 2nd panel of Yura's side with the ball as Pierre looks back at him wondering what the hell Bam is. The Crazy Yellow Ball then becomes neutral due to the round ending.
The bot announces that Team Bam has succeeded in advancing two spaces, and will now have the Crazy Yellow Ball handed over to Team Yura for their turn to attack. Having witnessed Bam's freezing Bang on Pierre, Boro is left surprised to see that Bam is able to control reverse shinsu flow, but Rak just gives off a laugh in satisfaction that they have this game in the bag. Hwaryun, Ran, and Nobic continue to watch the game from the sideline, which Ran admits that Bam is as good as ever blocking people's shinsu flow control.
Not finding this fun, Ran is left disappointed. He figures that the game is going to end quickly on Team Bam's next turn since Team Yura don't have a Defender or Goalkeeper to block their goal post.
Yura walks toward Bam, and congratulates FUG's Slayer Candidate for living up to her expectations, which grabs everyone's attention. She states that he's proven to be a possible use to her to the point of wanting Bam to come with her to the Hell Train, but reminds the Slayer Candidate that all the Express Tickets will be hers. Bam asks how she knows about his FUG identity, which she answers that it's because Rachel told her, whick shocks Bam.
The revelation shocks Hana as well due to Rachel's connection with FUG, which Yura answers to be the truth. Hana refuses to believe that since it would mean that Yura has joined up with FUG, which Yura explains that she and Rachel became friends after meeting one another a few years ago. Hana continues to refuse to believe it, but Yura assures them that she's helping FUG by gathering all the Express Tickets for the Hell Train.
Yura asks if Bam wants to make a bet with her, which confuses him. She explains that if Bam manages to block her attack during Team Yura's turn, she will forfeit her Express Ticket, and tell him where Rachel is.
The announcer bot reminds the Stadium viewers that Team Bam's turn has ended after advancing two spaces, and asks for Bam to hand the ball over to Team Yura. Watching the match, Nobic figures that this result was obvious given that Team Bam has more tickets, which Ran agrees that it's like in gambling when one opponent has more chips to work with.
Ran explains that Ha Yura's turn will be at a disadvantage since she has to pass the ball after ten seconds, but because she has no one on the team positioned as a Stiker, they can only advance one spot at most. The Khun member also figures that the game's pretty much over since Bam can just advance two spaces to the end goal post on their next turn. Suddenly, Dan contacts Ran and Nobic that he found where their opponent, Aka Williams, is located. At Dan's Stadium location, Ran asks what Aka is like, and while Dan replies that he doesn't know anything about the person known as Aka, he's huge compared to everyone else on Team Aka.
Looking at the humongous D-rank Regular known as Aka, Dan explains that Aka has a giant brown coat that has many pockets on it to show that he probably carries around many things. Dan warns Ran that they shouldn't treat the giant as an ordinary Regular, which catches Ran's attention. Back to Team Bam's side, Ran gives his goodbye to Yuto stating that it's about time for them to get going. Hwaryun watches him and Nobic leave as she wishes that they would stop calling her Yuto already. She looks back to the Crazy Yellow Ball match, and spots Bam and Yura talking with one another; believing that some sort of problem must have occurred.
Amongst the other tournament teams, the Regulars of Team Royal, the wave controller Royal Park, and fisherman Juglom Gote, discuss how a troublesome rookie boy (Bam) has appeared amongst the D-rankers as someone who can control shinsu reverse flow. Meanwhile, the members of Team Bero, fisherman Bero Bero, wave controller Cherry La, spear-bearer Dea Fluke, and light-bearer Pompidou watch as well. Bero orders for the sleeping Cherry La to wake up since an amazing wave controller has appeared amongst the rookie D-rankers.
Back to the Yellow Crazy Ball match, Rak and Boro remain confused about what's going on given that Bam suddenly has a blank look. Bam remains confused about why Yura mentioned Rachel possible being here at Train City, and orders for Yura to tell him where she is, and what she's been plotting with FUG. Bam orders her once more to tell him, which Yura reminds him that he should be focusing on the tournament for the time being since losing here could result in him not being able to get on the Hell Train to see Rachel.
Yura begins to explain that a year ago, she met Rachel through the use of Emile, and have talked to one another for quite some time. She pulls out her Emile terminal, and states how interesting she finds it that it's a device that answers questions that are asked to it, but can also be used to help people gain trust, as well as deceive others.
Yura continues to explain that before she had known that Emile was being controlled by Rachel, the chatting bot was her only friend. She says that throughout her talks with Emile, she figured out what she truly wanted, and asked Emile what she thought about it. Emile answered Yura that if she really wants this she should meet Rachel on the Hell Train. Yura informs Bam that Emile's answer is why she's decided to help Rachel, and has left everything behind to join her on the Hell Train.
Yura threatens Bam that she will stop Bam if it means that he will keep her from getting on the Hell Train to be with Rachel, which shocks Hana. Holding the yellow ball, Yura reminds Bam of the bet she stated being that she will give up her Express Ticket, and tell him where Rachel is, if he manages to block her attack. However, if he fails to do so, he will have to give up one of his team's Express Tickets, which confuses Hanool, who complains that such a rule doesn't exist in this tournament.
Rak and Boro remain confused as well, which Yura asks what Bam plans to do. Hanool objects to the plan since it's just Yura scheming to get her team more players. Yura asks once more if Bam will accept, which, after thinking it over, agrees to do so, which shocks Hanool. Yura and Pierre walk back to their respective spots as Hanool complains to Bam how he could accept such a ridiculous bet. Hanool believes that Bam is ignoring him, but Bam reassures him that it's ok as long as he wins, which annoys Hanool.
The bot announcer states that Yura's turn of the Crazy Yellow Ball game will now begin, and asks for everyone to return to their current game positions. Yura holds the yellow ball as the bot states that the next round will now begin. She charges toward Bam, which surprises Hwaryun that the idol is just running in without a plan. Boro figures that the effort is useless as Bam believes that he's got this since all he has to do is stop her the moment she comes into reach. Bam raises his hand the moment Yura is up close on him, but a smiling Yura believes this to be a success.
Bam reaches for the yellow ball ready to freeze the idol, but Yura activates some sort of ability that allows her to bypass Bam, which shocks him. The rest of the spectators are left stunned by the sight realizing that Bam failed to freeze her using reverse flow control. Yura stops moving, and turns around to the still confused Bam, and taunts him that his ability to control shinsu isn't as good as she originally thought. Boro and Rak remain stunned in disbelief as the spectators begin to comment how Yura managed to pull off a reverse shinsu control block without the need of a lighthouse, and admit that this proves that Yura is amongst the best of the D-rank Regulars.
Having just witnessed Yura's success, Pierre begins to laugh, and taunts Team Bam if they get it now what Yura is capable of. He also states that it's because of this strength that they've all decided to follow after Yura. Pierre continues to taunt them that the newbiw D-rankers are no match for Yura as he's seen what she's capable of back at their Residence room.
Pierre begins to gloat how powerful Yura is about to reveal the power she has, but Yura ends up passing the yellow ball over to him. He remains confused by the action, which Yura states that he's not the man for her since he talks too much.
The bot announces that Yura held onto the Crazy Yellow Ball for more than ten seconds, and is about to go crazy. The bot warns Pierre that crazy mode has been activated as the ball opens his red eye, and smiles at him. The ball releases a giant burst of shinsu energy, which completely destroys Pierre. Yura's teammates watch the remains of Pierre splatter all over the place as the blonde sword user, and another Yura teammate, point out that they now know what the ball's crazy mode does.
Hanool runs up to Bam asking if he's ok as Boro is left shocked to see that Yura would kill off her own teammate. Rak agrees with the statement, and says that it's Yura who's really in crazy mode. Yura taunts Bam that their team's Express Ticket total is now three, and states that since she got rid of her current Defender, they can place two new ones on her side of the field. She then asks if Bam wishes to make the same exact bet for the next round with one Express Ticket each on the line, whch leaves Bam silent.
Hanool objects due to the last bet's result, and reminds Bam that they can still win this match if he continues the game by advancing to Team Yura's end goal post. He begs Bam to listen to him, and warns Bam that it's a trap Yura's been trying to lure them into since their team has fewer members. Hanool states that there's no reason to accept this, but Bam hands the crazy ball over to Hanool, and asks for him to trust him more, which shocks Hanool realizing that Bam's decided to go at Yura again. Bam explains that he needs to know where Rachel went, and asks for Hanool to pass the ball to him at the right moment to finish this game. He announces that this time around, he will be sure to get passed Yura Ha, which she replies with a grin.
Ran and Boro remain confused over the current situation since they can't hear what's going on between Bam and Yura from their Goalkeeper spot. However, the announcer bot states that a deal had been made between the Bam and Yura teams that resulted in Team Bam losing an Express Ticket, which stuns Boro and Rak. Hwaryun is left confused by the announcement as well as they watch Rak suddenly get teleported out of the match reducing the Goalkeepers down to one. A confused Boro thinks over the current situation seeing that their team has lost an Express Ticket, and wonders what Bam and company are up to.
Two new Defenders are placed on Team Yura's side as the announcer bot explains that said team managed to advance one turn towards Team Bam's goal post. The bot asks for the Bam and Yura teams to take their assigned positions to prepare for the third turn of the game. The announcer bot also explains that Defenders are allowed to move one space each turn, but also states that it's against the rules for Strikers, and the person who was used for the jump ball, to act as Defenders. Seeing the three Team Yura members before him, Hanool looks over and Bam wondering if he should go along with Bam's wish.
The two Team Yura Defenders are the D-rank Regulars, Brugel and Rocitane Egel. The latter gives off a laugh at how stupid it was for Team Bam to give up an Express Ticket so easily, and asks if Bam plans to do it again. Bam answers that he's indeed doing it, which the Yura members remain confused since this deal makes no sense whatsoever. Meanwhile from the sideline, the blonde sword user states that Yura is a horrifying woman for choosing to sacrifice a teammate for the sake of grabbing an Express Ticket. The third round begins as Hanool with the crazy ball charges toward Team Yura while Bam follows along with him.
Hanool charges at Defender Brugel who claims that the fatty will not pass him, which annoys Hanool since Grugel is just as fat as him. Getting close to Brugel, Hanool figures that about now's the right time, and passes the ball over to Bam before Grugel could grab him. Bam catches it, and runs toward Defender Egel, who taunts Bam that thanks to him, there's now two people defending.
Egel prepares two shinsu Bangs, but Bam counters with three Bangs, which surprises Boro and the other spectators. Bero orders Cherry La to wake up once more to see the great boy wave controller, and the blue-skinned Regular from Aka's team is seen being caught off-guard by Bam's ability to control multiple Bangs.
Egel is struck easily by Bam's free Bang as he charges toward Yura, who's still grinning. Bam gets up close on her, as Yura claims that his effort is no use. She goes for the crazy ball, but to her surprise, Bam hands said ball to her, which confuses her seeing that the ball isn't moving. The action shocks Yura, who realizes that Bam used his freezing Bang on the crazy ball to stop it from going crazy. Bam then releases the freezing Bang while Yura's holding the ball as the bot announces that Bam has held the ball for more than ten seconds, and is about to begin crazy mode.
Yura manages to shield herself from the crazy ball using her luggage carrier as the ball drops to the floor. She looks back at Bam, and remembers that there was a rumor of some new D-ranker that was a smart one. She admits that Bam is smarter than she thought. The announcer bot states that Team Bam has managed to advance one spot, but their round has automatically ended since the ball fell to the floor. Yura confirms that the bet for this round was a draw as the bot states that the fourth round for Team Yura will now begin. Yura has the crazy ball handed to her as she says to Bam that she heard from Rachel of how he's trying to follow her onto the Hell Train, which surprises Bam. She claims that Rachel is trying to run awawy from him, and calls out Bam for being the worst type of guy who is too clingy. For that reason, she will be sure to get him off Rachel's back.
The fourth round of the Crazy Yellow Ball game is about to start as the announcer bot asks for the members of the two teams to return to their arena positions for Team Yura's turn to go on the offensive. Bam looks at Yura, and deduces that his freezing Bang doesn't work, and that this is not the right time to bring the Thorn out. He figures that he will be at a disadvantage until he's able to figure out what Yura's secret power is that's allowing her to stop reverse shinsu control. He comes to the conclusion that there's something odd about why she's always rolling around a luggage carrier.
The round begins as Yura charges toward Bam, who has decided to figure out why she always holds onto the carrier. Bam decides to leap back as Yura charges toward him faster knowing that he's trying to lure her into a trap. The bot announces that Yura Ha has held onto the ball for ten seconds as Yura throws it towards Bam claiming that trying to trick her is unacceptable. Bam is surprised by the action as he realizes that the ball isn't aiming for him, and is shocked to see Hana behind him catching the crazy ball. The announcer bot states that the ball is now going crazy mode as Hana begins to fear what's about to happen.
Boro orders for Hana to drop it as Yura gives off a smile knowing what's about to happen. Bam sees the crazy ball going off in Hana's possession, and hurries over to get her away from the ball's explosion. The crazy ball ends up falling to the floor, which ends the fourth round for Team Yura. The announcer bot states that after Team Yura advanced two spots, the ball was taken away resulting in no gain. However, because Team Bam fouled by having a Defender hold the ball, Team Yura have been rewarded with one spot of advancement. Yura gives off a grin that this turned out to be a disappointment since her action could have possibly killed Hana.
Bam looks back at Yura enraged at what the idol just said as Hana looks at her bloody hands unable to believe what she's seeing. Hana begins to cry out in pain at her injured hands as Hanool heads over to her to check on her given that he has some experience as a doctor in the past. An enraged Bam asks why Yura would attack Hana given that the bet was between them, and also reminds the idol that Hana is a big fan of hers. However, Yura gives off a grin at the mention of having a fan. Yura points out that she has many fans as an idol, and losing one of them will change nothing. She orders Bam not to try to make things awkward, and to just hand their remaining Express Tickets over to her, which enrages Bam even further.
Boro returns to the group as well, and orders for Bam to explain what he's doing since their team is now down two members, and has resulted in Hana getting injured. Bam apologizes that it's because Yura told him that she knows things about Rachel, which Boro calls him out on to return to his senses since his continued failures here could result in them not even getting on the train to begin with. From the sideline, an enraged Rak also calls out to Bam asking what the black turtle is doing running the game to the ground like this having gotten him kicked from the game, and reminds Bam that Khun will be laughing at them once he returns seeing their current state like this. The alligator also yells out that they better not lose before the blue turtle returns.
Thinking things over, Bam asks Hanool for another favor, which confuses the latter. Bam asks for Hanool to pass him the ball one more time for the fifth round, which Hanool objects since he's assuming that Bam is going to take the bet again. Bam agrees that that's the case, which Hanool questions how far he will go until he's satisfied. Bam explains that it's because this time around, he knows that he will win, and begs Hanool once more to help him. Hana with her now bandaged hands continues to scream in pain on the ground as Bam claims that this time around, he will definitely get passed Yura. Hanool agrees to go along with it annoyed that Bam makes this sound so easy.
Getting back to their game positions, Bam looks at Yura, and deduces that Yura is definitely hiding something regarding her luggage carrier since she attacked Hana before Bam could confirm was was in it. The announcer bot states that they've reached a point where the two teams will switch arena sides as it asks for the fifth round of the match to now begin.
Holding the crazy ball, Bam runs toward Yura aiming to find out why her luggage carrier is so important. He passes off the ball to Hanool, and asks for him to hold onto it as long as possible. Defender Brugel claims that he will not allow Hanool to act as he prepares to grab hold of him. Hanool is left confused as to how he ended up in this type of game, but admits that he can't forgive the crazy Yura for what she did to Hana. Brugel grabs hold of Hanool, who is still holding onto the crazy ball, as Bam runs passed them.
Hanool threatens Brugel that he aims to hold onto the ball for all ten seconds, and if he continues to hold him, they will both go boom. The warning grabs Brugel's attention as he begins to back off, which Hanool pushes him over revealing that his claim was a juke. Hanool continues to run forward claiming that he's a living bomb as a shocked Defender Egel claims that the guy has lost his mind. Yura kicks Egel forward ordering him not to hold back as Hanool and Bam continue to run towards him. Before Egel could act, Bam orders him to get out of the way, and hits said D-ranker to the ground with a punch of Wave Explosion shinsu.
The action stuns Yura, who realizes that she's now in a bad situation seeing Bam un close to her. The announcer bot claims that Hanool has now held the ball for ten seconds as he passes it over to Bam, who prepares to strike the ball at Yura. She attempts to get the luggage carrier out of the way, but Bam figures that he's made the correct choice, and aims the ball for said carrier. With a little help from the Thorn's power, Bam uses the crazy balls explosion to get the luggage away from Yura, and knocks her to the ground. Having succeeded in getting through Yura, Hwaryun and the rest of Team Bam watch what Bam is planning to do next. The crazy ball lands on the floor nearby as Bam is now seen standing on top of Yura.
Now that he's succeeded in bypassing her, he orders for Yura to tell him where Rachel is. The announcer bot is heard stating that Team Bam have advanced one space, and is now Team Yura's turn to begin the sixth round.
From the sideline, the spectators are all left amazed at having just witnessed Bam being able to bypass Yura. Royal Park and Joglom Gote admit that this years Hell Train run won't be easy dealing with the rookie boy who's powerful enough to best Ha Yura while Bero Bero munches on her lollipop not wanting to miss anything.
Meanwhile, the blue-skinned Regular asks leader Aka what he thinks of the rookie boy that's caught his attention, which Aka admits that Boro has brought someone interesting. Having witnessed Bam's last move, Hwaryun notes how he was forced to borrow a little power from the Thorn to defeat her. She deduces that he still has a long way to go, and finds the result to be pathetic. Nearby, Ran and Nobic walk through a Stadium hallway overhearing the announcer bot stating the current situation of the Yellow Crazy Ball game. The bot mentions that Team Bam have advanced one spot, which surprises Ran that Viole appears to be struggling.
However, Nobic points out that Team Bam's victory is pretty much assured despite going on against a powerful girl from the Great Ha Family. Ran however refuses to believe it stating that Yura is nothing more than a girl that sings. At this point, the two reunite with Dan outside Team Aka's Stadium viewing area, which surprises Dan.
Ran asks about Aka, which Dan states that he's just beyond the entrance he's standing at. The Khun member looks through the entrance wondering just how large this Aka guy is, and is annoyed to see the giant towering over his four other teammates. Dan asks what they're supposed to do about this guy, which Ran answers that there's no reason to hesitate to greet them before their tournament match. Nobic and Dan look at Ran in surprise knowing what he's implying.
At Team Bero's viewing platform, Bero asks her bird-teammate, Pompidou, what he thinks of the current match, and what he believes caused Yura to fail. Pompidou answers that the key was the boy's effort in getting the luggage carrier away from the idol, which confuses Bero. The bird explains that it was obvious the boy's attack made it through the moment he managed to blow the carrier away from Yura, and it was at that point that Yura became defenseless. Pompidou deduces that there was probably some connection between Yura and the carrier that allowed her to block the boy's skill to reverse shinsu control that allowed him to freeze his targets. Bero asks if what Pompidou is implying is that Yura's luggage carrier boosts shinsu resistance, and admits that she would love to have an item like that.
From another Stadium viewing spot, Rak looks at Yura's luggage carrier, and confirms that Yura is someone similar to Khun who uses a bag to hide stuff. He also wonders what he should call the blue idol given how crazy her actions have been throughout this Yellow Crazy Ball game. In the end, Rak decides that the best nickname would probably be crazy turtle.
Back to the arena, hearing Bam ask once more where Rachel is causes Yura to have a flashback. Within a dark room, Yura screams for something not to happen since she needs it, and can't live on without it. Yura yells that she doesn't need fans, fame, nice clothes, or money, but before she could answer what she really wants, Yura gets a message on her Emile terminal stating that it knows what she wants. Emile then states that what Yura wants is on the Hell Train, and will help guide her to it.
Bam gets up off Yura, which the idol admits that she will keep her promise, and not only give up her team's Express Tickets, but also tell him where Rachel is. She also admits that her team has officially lost the game to Team Bam.
Hanool screams in excitement finding it unbelievable that the crazy Ha Yura is actaully giving up the game, which confuses Boro as to why she would give up so easily. Meanwhile, The sword user from Team Yura that never joined the match remains silent as Hanool continues to yell in happiness that they will get receiving all of Team Yura's Express Tickets. Watching them all causes the sword user to have a flashback.
Before the start of the tournament, Team Yura are seen in their Residence room. Yura is glad to see that there's exactly five people here, and that the four standing before her will be the ones that will participate in tomorrow's tournament. She also assures her team that she will give them Express Tickets depending on how well they perform in tomorrow's matches. The sword user states that he's heard of how high D-rank Express Ticket holders will also be there tomorrow, and asks if Yura has a plan to win over them, but Yura answers that they don't scare her, which confuses the sword user.
Yura points her team to her luggage carrier, which she explains is an item on the level of a C-rank Regular, which shocks them. She explains that the luggage carrier is a sort of lighthouse item that she won in the Workshop Battle, and has three special abilities. One of which is a defensive skill that blocks the enemy from using shinsu against her. Yura reassures the team that the other two skills her luggage carrier provides are just as good as the defensive skill, and asks the four gentlemen before her not to worry as she wouldn't have asked them to join her team simply because she has this C-rank item with her. She assures them that as long as they're with her, they will make it to the Hell Train.
Back to the present, Yura gets up finding it unbelievable that she lost to Bam since he bypassed the luggage carrier's shinsu blocking skill. However, she figures that it's almost time for that event to happen anyways, which confuses Bam. He asks what she means by that, which Yura states that it's reached the point where Bam will officially be separated from Rachel. Bam remains even more confused hearing that Yura plans to separate him from Rachel, which Yura explains that this tournament is a trap to keep everyone in place here at the Train City Stadium. A trap that was created by herself and Rachel.
The announcer bot is heard informing the spectators that Team Bam has come out the victors of the first match due to Team Yura having forfeited; resulting in all of Team Yura's Express Tickets being handed over to Team Bam. The D-rank Regulars watching remain confused as to what's going on, but Aka catches on that while he doesn't understand this, he's pretty sure that Yura is hiding something else about that luggage carrier. His blue-skinned subordinate asks what Aka means by that, which the giant explains that Yura comes off like someone who has something else hidden up her sleeve.
The blue-skinned Regular gives off a laugh since Yura is going to be their prey anyway once they board the Hell Train. He gloats that the path of the D-rank newcomers to the Hell Train is to either become subordinates of Aka, or suffer death. Suddenly, Ran appears behind Team Aka asking if that's true what they just said which catches the blue-skinned Regular off-guard.
The rest of Team Aka turn their attention to Ran, Nobic, and Dan standing before them as Ran taunts them that holders of the Hell Train Express Ticket are indeed a crappy bunch. Aka sees that the members of Team Nobic are a group of newbies that just recently leveled up from E-rank, and asks what their business is here. Ran introduces himself, and explains that they're supposed to be Team Aka's first opponents in the tournament. However, Ran threatens them that he doesn't want to bother dueling in a childish game, and states that they're here to take their Express Tickets. Aka turns to his blue-skinned subordinate, who's named Moontari, to deal with them, which confuses him.
Other members of Team Aka complain that they should be the ones dealing with the weaklings as Moontari asks if Aka is truly asking him personally to do this. Aka explains that the Ran kid is apparently someone from the Great Khun Family, and states that Moontari should put the newbies, who use their family's power to act up, in their place.
Moontari accepts the order, and walks toward Ran and company with a metal pole ready. Ran asks if Moontari is crazy coming at them alone, but the blue-skinned Regular smiles, and orders for the newbie to come at him so that he can show Ran how powerful they are.
Ran charges forward asking if what Moontari stated is a joke since what he really wants to see is the Devil of the Right Arm. However, before he could land his punch, Ran is left stunned in disbelief upon realizing that he had been frozen by Moontari, which surprises Nobic and Ran as well. The three of Team Nobic realize instantly that like Viole, Moontari is a user of reverse flow control by stopping the shinsu flowing in Ran's body.
Moontari taunts Ran that the Khun member shouldn't look down on all other Express Ticket holders just because the newbie managed to already get himeslf an Express Ticket of his own. He warns Ran that maintaining the Express Ticket is a lot more difficult than it is to obtain one as Moontari uses a Death of Ki technique with his pole weapon to land a strike on the frozen Ran's back. Ran looks back at Moontari in shock as the blue-skinned Regular taunts the Khun member that Ran's Express Ticket might as well already be his.
Back to the arena, Bam asks what Yura means by being put in a trap, which Yura answers that he should think it over. She asks Bam to answer why it is that FUG would gather people to Train City's Stadium using Emile, and let it slip that FUG might actually be taking part in this tournament as one of its teams.
However, she answers Bam herself that by gathering all the newcomers, and current Express Ticket holders, into the Train City Stadium has made it easy for a particular group to perform a crazy stunt; stealing away the Hell Train. The revelation shocks Bam, which Yura explains that while it's not common knowledge, there are a few people who know where the hidden entrance to the Hell Train is. One of which is amongst a group that has already headed for the Hell Train the moment the tournament had already begun.
At the Hell Train Entrance, Team Rachel is seen approaching the gate guarded by the Mirotic Guardian. The girl with long orange-hair licks her lips wondering if the Hell Train is behind the guardian, and admits that Mirotic looks pretty scary. The orange-haired girl asks if they can finish the guardian while the idol girl keeps the others pre-occupied at the tournament, but Daniel reassures her not to worry. As the old man with the knowledge to deal with this, he claims that he will take care of everything. Rachel gives off a smile as she hears Daniel assuring the team that he will help them get beyond the Mirotic Guardian's gate to the reach the place where the Hell Train is located. The long orange-haired teammate is left annoyed that Daniel isn't sharing with the rest of the team all the information he knows, including that the Train City tournament was a fake, which Daniel replies that he's a being of lies, and that he can't live without telling a lie.
However, Daniel assures the team that he wasn't lying about taking this group to the Hell Train with him, which causes Rachel to smile. He orders Team Rachel to follow after him as he creates a purple ball of shinsu in his right hand. Claiming that his attack is worth three people, Daniel launches his shinsu attack towards the Mirotic Guardian.
Daniel's shinsu beam explodes on the gate guardian, which doesn't impress Team Rachel since he's using the old fashioned tactic of just using power with no plan. The Mirotic Guardian appears out of the explosion, and prepares to fire a spear towards Team Rachel. The group is left amazed to see that Daniel's attack had no effect, but Daniel warns them to tighten their defenses for Mirotic's upcoming attack. Mirotic launches one of his spears, which explodes on Team Rachel. Daniel manages to block the attack with a barrier ability, but to his surprise, Daniel spots the guardian preparing to fire three more spears upon him.
Team Rachel moves to evade as the three spears destroy the location they were just standing at. The orange-haired girl stands on a lighthouse with ther jousting stick teammate wondering if Daniel made it out alive, and to her surprise, Daniel was able to stand in place against the three spears. The orange-haired teammate admits that Daniel is a monster being able to survive such an attack against the guardian, but Daniel is left annoyed that he dropped his guard against Mirotic's last attack.
The orange-haired girl with the jousting stick teammate returns to Daniel's location stating her surprise that Daniel survived, which annoys Daniel since she sounded like she was disappointed he survived, which the orange-haired girl admits to be the case. Daniel looks back at Mirotic admitting that the guardian is powerful, and the orange-haired girl looks nearby at Cassano seeing that the Devil of the Right Arm had also survived the three spear attack; admitting that he's a tough one as well. The orange-haired girl calls out Daniel for his earlier overconfidence, and asks if the stick-biter really has a plan to get rid of the guardian.
Daniel explains to Team Rachel how the Train City Mirotic Guardian gatekeeper works. That it's an illusionary being who has control over the 35th Floor trains, which can't be controlled by anyone else except the Hell Train Captain and his Supervisors. In addition, the guardian protects the gate of the Hell Train until the appropriate time that D-rank Regulars are finally able to board it. He also warns the group that because Mirotic is an illusionary being, all physical attacks don't work on it. These facts alone are what make the Mirotic Guardian the absolute being that protects what's behind the Hell Train Entrance gate.
Cassano asks how Daniel plans to kill an illusionary being since it means that the Mirotic Guardian cna never die. However, Daniel answers that there's indeed a way to kill it, which confuses the Devil of the Right Arm. Daniel points out that he believes Cassano's left arm is capable of killing Mirotic, which grabs the Devil of the Right Arm's attention. However, Daniel prepares two purple balls of shinsu with both hands this time around claiming that he won't pass off such interesting prey to someone else.
Looking at Mirotic, Daniel claims that he will eat the guardian himself, and states that this next attack that he's saved until now worth 94 people. The two massive purple balls of shinsu yells out to Mirotic to see if it can withstand this next attack. Mirotic replies with two spears prepared to fire, which Daniel figured was going to be his answer. Daniel yells that the guardian has no idea how long it's taken him to get back to this location, and thinks back to a person going by the name of Roen that he will not run away this time around. That he will not run away from this next fight.
Daniel's two shinsu balls continue to gain power, which amazes the long orange-haired teammate. He then fires the beam towards Mirotic, who counters the attack with his two spears, which explode upon one another over the gapping hole between Team Rachel and the guardian. Amongst the explosion, Daniel yells out that he's officially returned to the Hell Train. The power displayed by Daniel amazes the orange-haired girl, and begins to realize why FUG wanted him so badly for Team Rachel. However, to the shock of Team Rachel, Mirotic's two spears make it through Daniel's attack, and explode on Team Rachel.
Mirotic's attack forces the long orange-haired teammate to finally display her powers by flying in the air with a pair of angelic wings, and holding onto the jousting stick user, so that the two of them can evade the guardian's spears. The orange-haired teammate is left irritated asking why Daniel's attack suddenly stopped, and wonders if the stick-biter suffers a stamina problem. Meanwhile, the jousting stick user, calling the orange-haired girl as Angel, wonders why she's picking him up by the hood of his cloak. Suddenly, the members of Team Rachel realize that the Mirotic Guardian is gone, which confuses everyone.
The group also wonders what happened to Daniel, but upon looking in his direction, they see that he's now holding some sort of remote. The members of Team Rachel return to Daniel's side after the explosion as Angel asks what the hell just happened. Daniel answers her that he just simply turned the Mirotic Guardian off with this remote, which confuses Angel even further as to how he got such an item. Daniel next answers that he got it from the Hell Train captain, which confuses Angel even further.
Daniel explains that he's stated it before how he's doing this Hell Train run to reunite with an old friend. That friend, as it turns out, happens to be the new captain of the Hell Train, and that Daniel had asked him this favor to have a remote provided to him that could remove the Mirotic Guardian gatekeeper. The answer still confuses Angel, which Daniel further explains that the Hell Train captain is currently cooperating with FUG. He then holds the remote before Team Rachel, and explains that the function it has is turning off the the Mirotic illusion guardian that protects Train City's Hell Train gate. However, Daniel also warns the group that this remote can't be used once they enter the Hell Train.
The answer irritates Angel, who complains as to why Daniel put them through the battle, and even made a weird seen by claiming that he's returned. However, Daniel bites his stick, and answers that it was all just an act through lies, which annoys Angel even further. Daniel gives off a laugh at how funny and easy it was to fool Team Rachel, which enrages Angel even further. Daniel next approaches the Hell Train gate, and states that it's about time for them to get going. Opening the gate, he asks for them to not be surprised since what they're about to enter is the real Train City platform for the Hell Train.
Back to the Stadium's viewing platform for Team Aka, Moontari continues to taunt Ran after displaying his ability to freeze him similar to Viole's reverse flow control, and orders for the Khun member to beat him. Dan is left amazed at what he just witnessed from Moontari, which Nobic admits that it was no doubt the same freezing ability that Viole has. Ran admits that he never would have guessed there were other Regulars who had the ability to reverse the flow of shinsu, and deduces that this proves D-rank Express Ticket holders are the real deal. Moontari replies that Ran's deduction is correct, but warns the Khun member that he's not that special here, and that there will not only be much stronger fighters on the Hell Train, but those amongst the D-rank Regulars who try to board the Hell Train at higher Floor train stations will be powerful as well. With the warning given, Moontari orders Ran to give up his Hell Train run since he will end up as a dead body in an instant trying to take on the powerful Hell Train folk with his weak skills.
Moontari also taunts Ran that seeing his stupid blue hair reminds him of the other Khun bastards that he killed on the Hell Train, which catches Ran's attention. Dan tries to warn Ran not to get provoked since he's no longer in a good condition to continue using his lightning abilities, but Ran begins to power his lightning shinsu up again anyway getting annoyed with Moontari's cockiness. Ran charges forward with a lightning fist ready to kill Moontari.
Returning to the tournament arena, Bam asks what Yura means by planning to steal the Hell Train, which the idol answers that it was the plan all long to trap everyone here from the beginning. She goes over how she and Rachel made sure the location was the Stadium due to it begin mentioned on the main Train City elevator, and then leaked information, as well as using the Express Tickets as bait, to gather people into the Stadium. Once the fake tournament's brackets were established, Yura adds that they made Team X the mysterious final opponent to confuse Bam and company into believing that Rachel, or possibly a High Ranker, could be participating in the tournament.
Yura states that everything about the fake tournament was set up to make sure that everyone remains stuck here until the very last moment. She also informs Bam that the Test Administrator Ranker who has control over this place is on their side helping them pull this stunt off to keep everyone busy, which shocks Bam. Yura also passes on information to Team Bam that other members of her team are holding the main Train City elevator stationed on another of the floors, and it's because of this, the people stuck on the Stadium floor will never be able to call the elevator up to them.
Giving off a laugh, Yura adds that these D-rankers are going along with her plan under the belief that she will get them to the Hell Train, but doesn't care at all about them, because in the end, all that matters is for herself only to get on the Hell Train. Hanool calls Yura's plan crazy since this scheme means that she's stuck on the Stadium floor as well. However, Yura asks what the pig means by that, which the enraged Hanool reminds her that her plan got herself stuck in the trap.
Yura asks Hanool if he truly believes that she's stupid enough like everyone else here to not have a plan to get out of here, and informs Team Bam that she's well prepared to get out of this place. Yura asks the group if they think defense against shinsu is the only function her luggage carrier has, which Bam begins to realize that something bad is about to happen. Suddenly, the carrier opens up, and Yura is sucked into it; completely disappearing from the Stadium room with only her luggage carrier being left behind. Yura's disappearance confuses everybody watching as they also realize that the blonde sword user from her team that never entered the Yellow Crazy Ball game had also disappeared. Bam and company look around in confusion unable to make sense of the current situation, but suddenly, an explosion occurs right in front of them.
Out of the explosion, Moontari walks out wondering if he used too much power as Bam and company see a defeated Ran lying on the floor. Moontari apologizes for interrupting the current game, which Bam realizes that it's the blue-skinned Regular who tried to recruit him earlier.
Bam asks why he's currently fighting Ran, which Moontari answers that they've gotten into a small quarrel. He asks for Bam to move so that he can finish Ran off this time, and states that he intends to finish this quickly given that Team Aka is going to facing off against his Team Nobic soon anyway. Boro is left confused as to why Moontari is suddenly here at the arena as Ran suddenly gets up asking if Moontari really believes that he can finish this quickly. The question grabs Moontari's attention as Ran taunts the blue toad if he wants to die quickly.
Moontari finds it surprising that the cocky brat, Ran, is still willing to fight, and warns the Khun member that he could die if he keeps up with this fight. Bam interrupts stating that he won't allow that to happen by joining this fight, which grabs Moontari's attention. Moontari thinks that this situation has become interesting, and asks if Bam and Ran know one another. Bam answers that Ran happens to be a brother of one of his most precious friends, which Moontari replies that he has no issue with fighting both Bam and Ran at once.
Boro is the next to interrupt stating that nows not the time to be fighting, which confuses Moontari. He warns Moontari that it seems they've all fallen into a trap, which confuses Moontari even further. The blue-skinned Regular orders Boro to explain the situation, which Bam answers for him that they're caught in a trap. He warns Moontari and Ran that the tournament is a trap, and at this very moment, the people who set this trap are off trying to steal away the Hell Train.
The confused Moontari questions what's going on, and asks where Ha Yura went. Bam explains that since she turned out being one of the people trying to steal the Hell Train, she escaped using a teleportation ability that her luggage carrier had. Bam points them in the direction of a blue luggage carrier item that had been left behind at the Stadium. Moontari remains confused by the current sitaution as Aka appears before the group with the rest of his taem asking if what Boro and company said is true.
Everyone turns their attention to the giant known as Aka, who informs the group that he heard everything from Moontari's Pocket. Aka asks once more if what they said was true. That someone set up the tournament as a trap in order to steal away the Hell Train. Finally meeting Aka in person, Bam assures the giant that it's the truth, and warns Aka that they will not be able to stop them from stealing away the Hell Train if they don't follow after Yura and company.
Aka reminds Bam and company of the Mirotic Guardian that's protecting the Hell Train gate of Train City, and no matter what, will not be defeated by the people trying to steal the Hell Train. However, Bam reveals that they will most likely make it beyond the guardian since Team Rachel are backed by FUG who have control of this place. The mention of FUG grabs Aka's attention, which irritates him hearing that said bastards are getting involved with the Hell Train again. The mention of FUG returning to the Hell Train grabs Boro's attention as well.
Boro turns to Yura's Crazy Ball teammates who were left behind at the Stadium, and asks if they know what Yura is planning. However, they provide the bad knows stating that they were also deceived since they were promised by Yura that they would be taken to the Hell Train even if they lost in the tournament. Aka adds that he knew something fishy was going on regarding Yura's shady actions behind the scenes, and begins to piece together that the fearsome connection she has with FUG may be the truth. However, Yura's teammates assure them that they were told nothing about her connection to FUG. Looking at Yura's luggage carrier, Aka informs the group that since they can't work the main Train City elevator to reach the Hell Train Entrance level, they should start by investigating the bag she left behind.
Meanwhile, at a maze-like location in Train City, Yura is seen exiting out of another blue luggage carrier followed closely behind by the sword user from her team. The second function of Yura's bag turns out to be Copy & Transport, which is to leave behind a copy of the bag once a day at another location where she would be able to transport herself by being sucked into the bag, and out the other end.
The sword user asks Yura if it was ok to leave the rest of their team trapped at the Stadium level, which Yura answers that it doesn't matter since the rest of them were worthless. She also informs the sword user that her luggage bag only had the ability to transport three people at a time, so bringing everyone along wouldn't have worked anyway. Running down the hallway with her true luggage carrier still in her possession, Yura informs the sword user that they should hurry before the Hell Train leaves.
Yura also thinks back to her encounter with Bam, and thinks to herself that she will make sure that he doesn't get in the way of her performing her last concert. A concert that will take place on the Hell Train.
Back at the Stadium, the Regulars attempt to break upon the luggage carrier copy, but fail to crack it open. Hanool is confused about what Aka's trying to accomplish, which a disappointed Boro thinks that Hanool is still not using his brain. Aka deduces that the item is good enough to the point that Yura wouldn't have been so confident enough to escape this place. He figures that there's probably another item similar to this luggage carrier wherever Yura disappeared to that's now headed towards the Hell Train.
Boro interrupts Aka's deduction stating that they need to work together if they're going to stop Team Rachel from making it to the Hell Train, which Aka agrees that they should. However, Aka turns his attention to Bam knowing that something about this feels off, and asks him how he knew about the relationship between FUG and the team stealing the Hell Train. Aka explains that he will cooperate, but until Bam explains, he will always remain suspicious that something about this feels weird. Ran however is the next to step forward, and orders Team Aka not to cooperate if they aren't going to, especially since he doesn't want to cooperate with the people of Team Aka either.
Ran states that including not wanting to get on the train with the people trying to steal it, he also doesn't want to be on the train with Team Aka, which annoys the giant. The Khun member's electricity begins to act up again threatening Team Aka that he will finish them off now, but his actions are stopped by Dan, who contacts Ran over his Pocket.
Dan assures Ran that everything Bam and company have said is true that the tournament was used as bait to trap them all here. He informs Ran of how Sia Sia and Beta snuck into Train City's control center for the tournament, and found out that the system is being worked by nobody except a computer program that's automatically running the tournament. Dan adds that the tournament itself is too sloppy to be considered an official test run by the Test Administrators. He then informs Dan that looking through cameras at the control center, they've spotted Rachel and Cassano at the Hell Train Entrance level, which shocks Ran.
Ran looks in Bam's direction, and realizes that both their objectives, Rachel and Cassano, turned out to be on the same team. He also wonders if this was why Yuto gathered them all here at Train City, because the guide saw it ahead of time that Team Bam and Team Nobic's objectives were on the same path. In the end, Ran questions why it is that Rachel and Cassano have decided to join forces. Getting back on topic, Boro informs the members of the Bam, Aka and Nobic teams that they should withdraw from the tournament without anyone else noticing so that they can chase after Team Rachel going after the Hell Train.
Boro asks Aka if there's any other ways to get to the Hell Train Entrance without using the main Train City elevator, which Aka answers that there's an emergency exit, but no one chooses to take it, because the path is one giant maze throughout Train City. Aka figures that it's impossible to make it through the maze to reach the Hell Train in time, but Hwaryun appears before Bam and company stating that she will guide the way for them. Hwaryun is shown to be irritated as well claiming that the Rachel bitch got her this time around.
Meanwhile, Team Rachel is seen having walked beyond the Hell Train Entrance that was guarded by the Mirotic Guardian. They enter a massive room that has nothing but a long circular stairwell as some of the members wonder if it will lead them to the Hell Train platform. Suddenly, a mechanical bird-like creature flies in from above to greet Team Rachel. It welcomes them to the first gate of the Hell Train known as the Helix Stairs. Rachel asks what she's currently looking at, which the mechanical bird answers that it will be their navigator that will lead them to the Hell Train. The bird informs Team Rachel that the Hell Train is currently stationed at the top of the stairwell, and that from here on out, it will guide them to the place known as the Platform Skyscraper.
