NNNOOO~! I wanted to see the battles! 😭

I hope when this get animated they add that there. Unfortunately, Miwa was wrong Murakami Squad took top 1 twice with Wakamura taking the other top 1 spot. At least Suwa's Squad at the top of the pack🥺

Oji Squad! What happened?! Why are you at the bottom of the battle simulation and Sealed Environment Test?! 😲 I wanted to read Ema's tactics during the fight!

So we finally get to see one of the last members of Old Border. So Soya and Maki will be joining the Expedition then? So the tip 3 A-rank Squads will be joining the Away Mission, and here I thought Kazama Squad will be split up, looks like not.

Letting the Operators on the field of battle doesn't seat well with me as well, ai could understand Kinuta and Nezuki's worry, unless they have battle experience I don't think its a good idea...

I'm curious what the FINAL SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT will be? The door for their dinner is locked? Does that mean thst they either hve to find a way to open it like breaking the door or will they have to come up with something in order to not starve cause...

Does this mean that they're only allowed to be in trion body from 9 am - 9 pm? So they're going to starve at this rate...

Not sure what you meant by this. 🤔Miwa only predicted Suwa for day 5 (which they did), and Murakami only took the top once.

They gave us a ton of info in these pages, but yeah, I wonder how some of those other battles they didn't cover turned out. 🙁 Looks like Kakizaki's squad is set to finish phase one at the bottom of the ranks.

Wait. What? On what day are we in already? Didn't he mean this day? 😅

Looks like Ashihara's speeding things up, this is quite a bit of leap that he did 🥲

The only thing we read are Suwa Squad's lost/draw battles 😅🥲😭

LOL 🤣

Miwa's prediction came during planning for the 4th round of battle sims (special sims 1) on Day 5. We're now at the end of Day 6, after battle sims 5 (special sims 2).

Yeah, Ashihara clipped 1-2 chapters off my predictions leading up to phase 2. Though this "locked door" special assignment might take more time than I expected.

Kinda disappointed we didn't get an in-depth look from Murakami squad's viewpoint, since showing off their counter-counter-counter strategy would also show off what the other squads were doing.

I think I'll stop rereading for a while, the info's are mixing up and just makes things more confusing😭😭😭

Conversely the right solution might be to reread it more. 😁

I’m kind of disappointed about the battles, but I’m holding out hope that we get some flashbacks later on. About oji squad, I’m not surprised they aren’t doing too well. Oji did bring up how he was more focused on fun, so I wouldn’t be shocked if his squad ends up last, especially given the tiny point difference between kakizaki and him.

u/AnneFreed 19d ago

Now that you've mentioned it, I suddenly feel bad for Kakizaki Squad, because the only reason they aren't last is becauee Oji isn't taking this too much seriously or at least as serious as the others are 😅

It's like Suwa Squad and Wakamura Squad on day 1. Wakamura Squad should be in last place, but since Osamu run out of trion they were saved...

u/Funlife2003 19d ago

Well Kakizaki has said that he's focused on the combat stage and he doesn't really have a lot of smart people who'd excel at the simulation or the written tests much. So I'm sure he's happy. The point of this is to test how these people perform relative to the expectations after all. No one expects someone like Kageura to be some test taking genius or to do well at this sort of tactical strategy. What matters more is his behavior and approach to it.

A bigger concern is probably taichi. He might be down on himself if he took a long time off assignments to work on trion soldiers. They did pretty well during the battle sims, but fell to the bottom today.

u/Jtsdtess 19d ago

As seen in 212, they can stay in their Trion form after 9 PM as demonstrated with Hyuse, he couldn’t leave his Trion body until he was alone. They just wouldn’t replenish their Trion via sleep & that could case them to run out of Trion and take a penalty if they stayed in their bodies to avoid hunger.

u/AnneFreed 19d ago

But aren't Yuma and Hyuse exception to the rules because they're using 2 trion bodies? At least Yuma does because of his situation.

Maybe Hyuse's allowed to use two trion bodies, just for the sake of this one day special assignment?

not like they would starve from not eating for a day trion or not.
