After the exhausting but glorious win against Team V, Team Z gathers in the dorms for the next announcement. Ego Jinpachi appears on the screen with an earth-shattering update:
The First Selection is over. Only those who passed will move into the Second Selection.
Each player has their rankings updated, and tension skyrockets. Isagi climbs drastically thanks to his clutch performance, while others are shocked by their placement.
Ego then reveals the next stage — a brutal, individual-focused survival system where teamwork changes forever.
Isagi openly declares that his next goal is to surpass the prodigies he has admired and feared:
Nagi Seishiro, Rin Itoshi, and the rest of the elite.
The chapter ends with Isagi and Bachira sharing a determined smile, ready to evolve further.
