Meanwhile, Gaku struggles to come to terms with his defeat against Takamura. Kashima reattaches his severed arm, but his ear remains beyond repair. Slur points out that surviving even a single exchange with Takamura is a rare stroke of luck. He then reveals that he has already started recruiting new members for their crew.

The focus then shifts to Sakamoto and Shin, as Sakamoto lays out his plan to infiltrate JCC, the elite assassin academy he once attended. Since breaking in is nearly impossible, his strategy is to re-enroll as a student. Shin, who never attended the JCC, joins him.

On the flight to JCC, the Transfer Exam begins. Initially, other examinees dismiss Sakamoto and Shin as inexperienced rookies and mock them. Akira Akao, a blue-haired examinee, feels sorry for them as a fellow newcomer. During the test, weapons are handed out at random, with Sakamoto receiving only a pen.

But they’re no match for the legendary ex-hitman. Sakamoto also saves Akira and offers to help her clear the exam. However, she wants to prove herself and clear the test with her own skills.
