Shin and Sinon are rushing on the buggy with max speed to the Governor General office, with hope that they didn't late. After five minutes of driving, they finally managed to reach the destination. Shin looked at the clock and sigh in relieve.
"We still have 5 minutes left"
"Then we are still not late yet. This way" said Sinon in hurry then grabbed Shin's sleeve and dragged him with her.
"O-oy, wait a min-" Shin only managed to say, as Sinon was dragging him away.

Inside

Sinon is dragging Shin behind her. While Shin was watching in awe at all the sight in front of him. Then Shin began to look around and saw different people, wore various kind of outfit.
'One of them somewhere out there is Death Gun'
Sinon snapped him out of his thought when they reach panel terminal.
"Here. You can register to the tournament here. It's a normal touch panel terminal. Do you know how to use it?" asked Sinon crossing her hands.
"Yeah, it looks simple" said Shin looking at the panel terminal.
"I'll be out there. When you finished, come to me" said Sinon pointed at the place not far from him.
Shin read the text on the panel then pressed 'entry'. Then the lines appeared that need to enter the user personal information appeared.
Shin surprised at this and thought.
'I need to enter my real information here?'
Then he read the attention line and saw that he can leave it blank, but then he won't be able to get the top prizes. He thought very long and recalled the incident with the three victims then wondered if there were any connections here.
He was so deep in thought that he didn't noticed a figure approach him from behind.
"Excuse me" said a voice behind him. Shin twitched in surprise at the voice and pressed the 'Y' button on instinct turn turned back.
"Yeah, what can help you-" said Shin then he looked to whom he was talking to and saw a very attractive dark skinned girl was standing in front of him.
"I saw your performance at the 'Untouchable' and felt really impressed at your skills. Can I know your name? My name is Mana by the way" said Mana smiling politely(she is Tatsumiya Mana from Negima).
"Oh, I am Shin. Nice to meet you Mana-san" said Shin.
"So you are participating in BoB as well huh? I am looking forward to see your performance" said Mana.
"Did you not participating as well, Mana-san?" asked Shin blinking.
"Of course, but my match will end very quickly, like always. I want to see your ability in battle, Shin-san" said Mana pointing at Shin.
Shin just wondered why she said 'like always' but then he look closely at her. Normal person won't be able to say how strong she is by the look, but Shin is different, he can feel the aura that emanating from this girl. She is very strong. Her strength could be compared to Kirito or even on par with himself. Then a shout not far from him was heard.
"Are you done? Or you are so incompetent that you can't even register to the tournament" shouted Sinon tried to make a fool out of Shin.
"I am done already. I am just talking with a girl here" Shin shouted back annoyed. Sinon hearing the girl comment decided to approach where he stood and was surprised at who is standing with Shin there.
"Aren't you the one the people call Sougeki no Mana or Mana of Twin Shots? I never expect to see you in BoB" said Sinon looking at the girl.
"I think it's the first time we met, Hecate. Yeah, I decided to register to the BoB, as being a mercenary is pretty boring. Well, I'll be going now. It's good to meet you, Shin-san. I am looking forward to face you two on the battle field" said Mana then she turned back, waving her hand as she left.
"You know who she is?" asked Shin curiously.
"Only through rumors. She didn't play very often and only performs the mercenary job. The people call her Mana of Twin Shots, because when she killed, she only shot on shot from her guns and the victim is dead. She is extremely dangerous, her ability to dodge bullets maybe even on par of yours or even greater. I just hope that I don't need to face her in qualifying round" said Sinon with narrowing eyes.
"Heh..." muttered Shin with excitement in his eyes.
"By the way, do you know in which block are you?" asked Sinon.
Shin looked at the panel and answered.
"Yeah, F-37"
"I am in F-12. We will meet each other in the finals anyway. Then I will kick your butt for carrying me without permission" said Sinon and point at Shin's face.
"Oh~. And I thought you enjoyed it" said Shib teasingly. Sinon just turned her head away and stomp to the direction of the qualifying area.
"Oy, wait a minute!" shouted Shin and ran to catch up to Sinon.

Qualified Area

When Sinon and Shin walked inside they saw that most people there was holding guns then they turned the attention to them with a scary look. Shin just looked around calmly. Some people that recognized him began to murmur to themselves.
"Hey, look. Isn't that the kid that got the Hades Revolver?"
"Yeah, it's definitely him. Man I wondered how lucky is that kid to actually got it on the first try"
"Seems you are already pretty famous with they gun alone" said Sinon looking from the corner of her eyes back at him.
Shin just sigh at the attention, it become so much more troublesome now.
"Let's go to the waiting room. You need to equip that black cloak you bought. But I will change first then you will be second, understand? If you are even trying to peek..." said Sinon then threatening Shin with a scary smirk.
Shin just nod his head rapidly while his face was pale.
Inside the waiting room
Sinon sat down then sigh.
"Man, those guys are such idiots. Who the heck is showing off your main weapon thirty minutes before the fight?"
Then Sinon pressed the button and her clothes dissappeared leaving her only in underwear. That moment the door opened and Shin walked in and said.
"Oh, I almost forgot to ask. What is your... name?" Finished Shin the sentence lamely then he began to pale and blush at the sight of Sinon in her underwear.
Sinon looked at him in fury with a blush and shouted in rage.
"Who the heck give you the permission to come in huh?"
She covered herself then leap at Shin and slapped him hard. Then kicked him in the nuts and shoved him outside. Shin was holding his injured part with wide eyes and mumbled.
"T-that was too cruel"

Time skip

Sinon just walking ahead of Shin with an annoyed look on her face. Shin was crying comically and still sometimes hold his sensitive part. He wears a black cloak, underneath was nothing, only have a collar on his neck(Black's outfit).
"Don't follow me"
"I am sorry. It's just..."
"Don't follow me"
"But I didn't know your name and I don't know what to do next?"
Sinon stopped then looked at him with a corner of her eyes and sigh loudly.
"Alright, I will explain to you one time, then we are enemies"
"T-thank you" said Shin gratefully.
"Don't get me wrong. I just want to kick your butt myself. Once that countdown hits 0, all the entrants here will be automatically transferred to a battlefield containing them and their first-round opponent. The field itself is a one-kilometer square region. The retain, weather, and time are random. You'll start a minimum of 500 meters apart, once the match ends the winner is sent back here. The loser is sent to the first-floor hall. In block F, there are 64 people. So five victories takes you to the finals. Then you can participate in the main tournament, that is battle royal" explained Sinon.
"Thank you. Oh, I still haven't introduced myself right? I am Shin. Nice to meet you" said Shin then bowed his head down.
"You better get to the finals. I won't forgive you if you lose before facing me. I am Sinon, remember that name, cause I will take you down" said Sinon looking at Shin with a cold look.
"Ehm... It was only the accident. You shouldn't think that much about that" said Shin nervously scratching the neck of his head.
"By the way Mana is in C block, so we won't face her here. That's all, we won't talk to each other anymore so bye" said Sinon then prepared to stand up. But the long silver hair guy decided to join them.
"Yo, you are pretty late Sinon. I was worried you wouldn't make it" said the guy to Sinon.
"Hi, Spiegel. I got caught up to something unexpected... Didn't you say you weren't going to enter?" said Sinon greeting him then moved aside so Spiegel could sit next to her.
Spiegel sat down, scratched his head and said.
"I thought it might be a pain, but I came to cheer you on. You can watch the match on the big screen after all"
"By the way what do you mean by 'something unexpected'?"
"Ah, I just showing this guy the way here, as he is a newbie" answered Sinon rolled her eyes aside.
"Ehm, Nice to meet you" said Shin scratching his head.
"Woah! The avatar model MX-9999. That's very rare. You are so lucky" said Spiegel in awe
"Uhm, thanks I guess" said Shin uncomfortably.
From a far, Mana was observing Shin. She has changed her gear and her new gear gained a lot of attentions because the surrounding players around her are males. She wears a leather black top that expose her midriff, black panties and a white jeans that exposing her panties. She also wore a long white cloak that reach her feet(Mana's outfit is her Vulnerans Semidiaboli pactio outfit)
"Well Sinon has helped me out a lot and I am grateful for that" said Shin looking at Sinon and smile. Sinon just turned her head away then said.
"I didn't help you in anything. Also who the heck give you permission to call me by the name huh?"
"Heh, you are just in deny. Stop being so cold and accept the fact that you are attracted to me" said Shin with arrogant smirk.
Sinon hearing snapped and point at the smirking face of Shin.
"Hah? Who the heck is attracting to you. You are so arrogant, stubborn and simple-mind idiot!" shouted Sinon lean her head forward and snapping at Shin.
She was about to continue ranting at Shin, but the announcement was made that the third tournament of BoB has began and after the entry all players that have registered will be transport to the first-round field map. Just that the crowd began to cheer loudly and shoot in the air.
Sinon stood up from her sit then point her finger at Shin and declared.
"Get to the finals. Then I will kick your butt so hard that you will remember for the rest of your life!"
Shin just smirking arrogantly and said.
"If you want to battle me so much than I won't disappoint you"
Then he stood up and began to walk to the area. He stopped and looked at the corner of his back to Sinon and said seriously.
"But, I am warning you. When on the battlefield, I am a whole new person"
Sinon just wondered about what he said and was about to ask what did he mean. Shin suddenly was transporting away from the place.

Unknown place.

Shin was standing at the dark place with only the glowing orange pentagram underneath him. He looked at the panel ahead of him that write.
Shin vs Uemaru
Remaining time: 56 seconds.
Field: Lost Ancient Temple.
Shin equip the blue Kagemitsu G4 and Hades Revolver-XIII and wait for the time to pass.
'So Sinon is Shino-chan in GGO huh. Guess she play this game in order to overcome her bloody past'
The count has turned zero and Shin was teleport to his battlefield.

Lost Ancient Temple.

Shin looked around him then he breath in and out then said.
"Finally, after a year I have return to the battlefield. This anxiety, this field. I hope my opponent can actually entertain me for a while"
Shin began to walk ahead slowly looking around for his opponent. Suddenly, he heard the sound at the forest and turned there.
Uemaru thought his position was exposed and open fire from his rifle. Shin saw that all the bullets were aiming at his body very clearly. He took out his photon sword activate it and deflect the bullets with ease. Then he tapped his forehead with index finger and looking at the direction of Uemaru.
Uemaru was shocked that this guy managed to deflect all the bullets then he gritted his teeth in anger as Shin tapping his forehead inviting him to shoot there. That action is pretty much mocking him. Uemaru began to fire more shots, this time aiming at Shin's head.
Shin just looked at the bullets the flying to him and deflect with his sword once more, not a single bullet has touch him.
Uemaru felt shock once more.
'Who the heck is the guy that has such ability?'
"Oy, is that all you got? I thought things will be more fun. Guess I am gonna finish this quickly" said Shin with a bored look and voice.
Uemaru began to feel even more furios at this arrogant bastard. He threw a grenade at Shin and shot at it. The grenade detonated right in front of Shin. Uemaru began to smirk and thought that he has won. Then he felt something pressed against his head from behind. He looked back from the corner of his eyes fearfully and met the cold ruthless eyes of Shin.
"Tremble in fear and go to hell" said Shin with a voice so cold that Uemaru actually shivered. Then he pressed the trigger and blow Uemaru's head away.
Then the panel appeared and write.
"Congratulations, Shin wins"
"That was boring. I hope the other four matches will be more challengingly" muttered Shin disappoint with the battle.
Then he was teleport away to the starter area.

Starter area

Shin has just teleport back then he looked around and saw that Mana is approaching him. When she is in front of him she said.
"Wow, never knew you could use a photon sword skilled like that. Congratulations on your first win" said Mana.
"Ehm, thank you. But did you already win your match, Mana-san?" asked Shin.
"Yeah, 20 minutes ago" answered Mana.
"Wow, you defeats your opponent in 5 minutes. I am impressed" said Shin in awe. Then he noticed the new gear on Mana and blushed.
Mana noticed that and smirked teasingly and asked.
"So what do you think? Is it suit me well?"
Shin just nodded his head rapidly. Then he looked at the screens hovering above them and asked.
"I wonder where is Sinon?"
"Are you worrying about her?" asked Mana raising her eyebrow.
"No, she won't lost in the qualifying round. I am just curious about her location" said Shin. Suddenly, he jumped back as he felt a presence behind him. Mana also looked at his back with narrowing eyes.
At the back of Shin stood no other than Death Gun.
"Are you that person?" asked Death Gun slowly.
Shin looked at Death Gun closely and began to analyze.
'So this is Death Gun. Indeed he remind me of someone. That strange black cloak. Why did he always wore so that it hide all his body and face?'
"What do you mean by 'that person'" asked Shin suppressing his anger he is feeling just by looking at Death Gun. Death Gun began to approach Shin slowly, that caused Shin to take out his photon sword.
"I saw your fight. You used the sword mainly right? Those eyes, that sword, that mastery. I'll ask again. Are you that person?"
Shin began to recall the three members and compare them to Death Gun. But he can't recall much as it was 2 years ago.
Mana just stood there and watching the scene in silence with narrows eyes.
Suddenly, Death raises his hand slightly exposing the mark of Laughing Coffin. Shin seeing that mark eyes widen in rage and the killing intent began to leak out of him in waves. He recall all the people that was killed by Laughing Coffin, how Kuradeel nearly kill Kirito in front of his eyes, how PoH had managed to injure him. He began to glare at Death Gun.
'There is no mistake now. This is the revenge of Laughing Coffin against me'
