Tassel: Bonne lecture!

A book opens a pop-up page to show a theater-like scene. Showing what happened from the previous chapter.

Tassel: The war for the almighty book that created the many realms, has led to incidents like the city getting transported to Wonder World! And with Calibur showing himself and a young man appeared in Calibur's presents... The wheel of fate has turned even more than ever for Touma, Kento, and the rest of the swordsmen!

At the Northern Base

Touma, Leon, Kento, and Rai along with Sophia, Allen, Laura, Gaius, and Emma were all debriefing on what happened

Rai: Desast and Calibur... They both made their first move!

Leon: They're using the incidents to create new and dangerous books.

[Senki: Also, Calibur attempted to steal Touma's Holy Sword and Brave Dragon!]

Everyone then stares at Touma.

Touma: But, I still have them!

He said as he shows Brave Dragon Wonder Ride Book and his Seiken Swordriver in his hands.

[Brave: Otherwise, I wouldn't still be here!]

Sophia: It's our duty of Sword of Logos to protect the books and the realms' balance. It is the assignment that was given to us by my master Merlin. We have to stop them.

She then turn towards Leon.

Sophia: Blades...

Leon: Understood. I'll be on the lookout for the abnormal rainbow bubbles. If we can strike first, Ogami-san...

Rai: Leave Calibur to me.

Sophia: Please do.

Leon then turns to Kento, giving him his assignment.

Leon: Kento, you will stay on standby in case a Megiddo appears.

Kento ignored him and continues to be deep in thought.

Touma then looks at him in concern.

Touma: Kento?

Rai was the only swordsman who knew why Kento was like this.

Rai: Well!

He then grabs Touma's shoulder roughly.

Rai: I'll just go and beat them all at once!

He burst out his loud laugh. Then was interrupted when the giant book him opened like a door. A man then entered the room.

Kaito: You're loud.

He said in an annoyed tone.

Rai: That's just how I am!

And again he laughs. Kaito approaches Touma with a change of tone and grabs his driver.

Kaito: I HEARD YOU USED THREE BOOKS!

He then covers eye contact with Touma.

Kaito: Don't be reckless. I can hear Rekka crying.

Touma: And you are...?

As Kaito places Rekka into the computer of Northern Base.

Leon: Kaito Daishinji-san; our bashful reserved sword-smith. He helps with maintenance on our blades.

Kaito: You're not even drawing out half its power...

He then opens his hand towards Touma.

Kaito: Give me your Wonder Ride Book, please.

Touma place Brave Dragon Wonder Ride Book in Kaito's hand.

Touma: Take good care of him!

They then pull for the book as Touma then gives. Kaito then placed the book in the slot under the computer, and continue his maintenance. Then Brave's holographic body disappeared.

Touma then started to wonder where Brave went.

[Genbu: Brave is just resting with Rekka.]

Touma: But, why isn't his body here.

[Senki: We can't project our bodies when unless we are in a swordsman's possession.]

Touma: Oh.

[Alangina: But not just the swordsman we have chosen. We can appear in the possession of any swordsmen of the Holy Swords.]

Touma understood the Spirit Books.

He then approaches his childhood friend.

Touma: This place is full of all kinds of characters, huh, Kento?

Kento then returns to reality, not listening to Touma.

Kento: Don't worry, I will defeat him.

Leon and Sophia then stare at him in concern while Touma was looking at his playmate in confusion.

Back to the Story

Elliot shoots energy bubbles at a giant insect monster. Gaius jabbed his spear at a cat with wings. Touma then swings his sword to slash three slime monsters.

The three men were in the Old School House where they first became Class VII.

Elliot and Gaius saw that Touma was a bit off, after their last meeting with Sword of Logos.

Elliot: Touma, are you alright?

Touma hears Elliot's question and looks at his first two combat partners. He then decides to give in and respond.

Touma: I'm just worried about Kento. He's been acting strangely since our last SOL meeting.

Gaius then breaks his silence.

Gaius: Well, you shouldn't. I'm sure he's just as worried about you. For ten years, he's been looking for you and he finally found you. As for you, you had amnesia and can barely remember what happened to yourself ten years ago.

Elliot: Meaning, you two have a connection from-

Touma: Ten years ago. The same past I knew a girl, I think...

{Flashback}

Ten years ago.

Touma tries to save the girl. But he let go of their pinkie grip and the girl was sucked into the book.

Then Touma wakes up in the middle of the park with Brave Dragon Wonder Ride Book.

{End of Flashback}

Touma: I still wonder why Brave chose me or how I ended up with his book in my hand.

The three of them exit the building. While a cat watches them from above.

Gaius: I'm sure you were chosen for a reason. Besides, you are also known always to keep your promises.

Elliot: Plus you know many books.

Touma thinks about what his friends said.

{Flashback}

Ten years ago.

Touma explores a very large library with many different genres of stories. He collects a dozen to read.

{End of Flashback}

(Scene Change)

Laura: Ahh. I'm not sure why Uncle Rai needs some time to himself and the guild.

Laura, Alisa, and Emma were walking to the kindergarten where Sora and Ari were learning.

Laura: Even I could just ask him, he tells me it's 'guild business'. 

Alisa: And he tells us to pick up Sora and Ari. Why us?

Laura: He only asked me to pick them up. You two didn't have to come along.

Emma: We only want to help-

Laura: I appreciate your help. But I can handle this, I have been babysitting Sora and Ari since I was 15 years old.

Emma: I guess, we just can't help ourselves.

As the girls arrived at the school, all the kids come out. Sora and Ari made their way outside to see Laura, Alisa, and Emma.

Sora and Ari: Laura-oneechan!

The two siblings ran up to Laura and she kneels to their level and they tackle her to give her a hug.

The five of them hang out at the nearest park each with a cone of soft cream.

Emma was thinking about how Touma was doing.

Ari goes up to Emma.

Ari: Emma, are you okay?

Emma finally speaks.

Emma: I'm just worried about Touma. He is right now being targeted by a dark swordsman.

Laura then joins in.

Laura: I'm sure Touma is fine. Gaius and Elliot are with him.

Alise: Plus he's a great swordsman.

Ari: Emma, do you like Touma-oniichan?

Emma then started to bush from that question.

Emma: Y-Y-Yeah, sure he's a really good guy, he loves reading to kids, and he's willing to protect others.

She shudders as she talks.

Timeskip

At night Touma was in his room with one candle lit.

He is in his stance with his right hand holding the handle of his sword and his left hand holding the sheath.

His eyes were closed until he opens them and sliced the flame off the candle. He then lets out a sigh and sheaths his sword.

Touma: Not bad... but I don't think I can manage much more than this. I guess I should just be grateful I was able to pass the beginner examination at all... 

He then walks to his desk.

Touma: Better do some studying. It sounds like this is going to be a busy week, what with that ominous 'practical exam' looming over us...

As he starts studying for the exam. He then saw the radio on his shelf.

Touma: I wonder... which station is Radio Trista?

He then turns on the radio and it starts playing.

(Play for the background radio. A/N: The song Naturally is a sponsor for the new anime Fuuto PI. The sequel series of Kamen Rider Double/W Be sure to watch it! and is sponsored by my Patreon page: www.patreon.com/ArseneLupinX Become a Patreon for more crossovers series!)

'It's 9 PM and you're listening to Radio Trista. Welcome, welcome. Don't touch that dial, listeners; you've found the right place to be tonight. It's time for the start of a brand new program here on Radio Trista, coming at you promptly every Sunday! I call it "Abend Time", after the word for "evening".' 

With Kento

Kento was in his dorm room listening to the radio as well as studying.

'Might be a little cliched, but sometimes, simple is best, right? Cliches are cliches for a reason, after all! Anyway, my name is Misty, and I'll be your host. Hopefully, I'll get to feature some famous guests at some point, so be sure you tune in every week or you might miss 'em!'

At the Northern Base

Kaito has the radio while he was working.

'I hope life has been treating all of you well this month as we slowly near the end of April. Here in Trista, the beautiful lino flowers have passed their peak and begun to wilt.'

Allen: I never wonder that humanity made a device that can send voice across the globe.

'But wilting flowers are beautiful in their own way, as they serve to remind us just how fleeting this existence truly is.'

With Touma

Touma continues to study.

'I'm sure many of our listeners are students, busy with the challenges of adjusting to their new lives... but what harm is there in taking a moment to admire our change along with what I heard? Cities disappearing, monsters appearing, and swordsmen in amazing armor with colorful creatures saving everyone! Kids are dubbing them Kamen Riders... Knight with swords and magical creatures protecting us all! And we all wonder who they are under their helmets!'

Touma: I already made it on the radio.

He chuckles.

With Leon

Leon was practicing with his spear. Swinging it around and thrusting it at a dummy.

While unknown to him, he was being watched from behind.

Leon then stopped to take a break.

???: I see your training with our mother's staff and not with her sword.

Leon then turns around and smiles to see...

His older half-sister, Naida Riverheart.

Naida: You rarely train yourself with it.

Leon: I thought to train with it, because... I am able to remember our mother if I continue training with it.

Naida: I see.

She then approaches her little brother closer.

Naida: Do you ever remember her? Or even your father?

Leon: No... But I remember that he often smiles even when he's working.

(Flashback)

Leon trains with his father in magic.

(End of Flashback)

Timeskip

The next day.

All students of Class VII meet up outside at the Academy Field.

Sara: Okay! Let's get your practical exam started, shall we? To be completely clear from the outset, this exam is about more than just testing your physical strength and stamina. It's designed to hone in on how capable you are of making strategic combat decisions on the fly. Defeating your opponent quickly is a good thing, certainly... but it won't be enough to score you high marks here!

Jusis: Hmph. Interesting.

Alisa: So we're going to have to use our heads for this one, huh?

Sara: Heh. You'll see... Anyway, let's get this month's exam started, shall we? Touma. Elliot. Gaius. Kento. You're up first. please step forward.

Touma: Hai.

Elliot: Uh-oh...

Gaius: Got it.

Kento: Yes ma'am.

The four boys stepped forward.

Sara: Heh. All right, then Here we go!

She then snaps her finger and a sword-looking robot appears. The was shocked by the sight of it.

Touma: Wh-What's that?!

Elliot: A-A monster?!

Gaius: No... I'm not sensing any life coming from it at all.

Sara: That's right. Think of it like a scarecrow. Only, it's a moving scarecrow... I guess. Either way, it's not alive. I've set its parameters fairly high, though, so it IS formidable. But if you give it your all, I'm confident you can beat it! Probably. Make good use of your ARCUS' combat link abilities, for example, and I bet it'll be a piece of cake! Hint, hint.

Elliot: Ah!

Touma: So that's what you're playing at.

Sara: That's right. Begin!

The four boys brought out their weapons. Touma brings his sword out, Elliot brings out his staff, Gaius brings his spear out and Kento brings out his gun.

Elliot looks at Kento's gun.

Elliot: What an interesting gun you have, Kento.

Kento: Thanks. It was my mother's once. It's called Lamp Magnum, made by Alangina's Lamp.

Timeskip

The four of them manage to bring the mecha to half its energy.

Touma, Elliot, Gaius, and Kento ready their attack.

Touma: Autumn Leaf Cutter!

Elliot: Resounding Beat!

Gaius: Gale Stinger!

Kento: Lighting Blast!

Touma slashes through it with his sword, Elliot swings his staff and sends energy bubbles at it, Gaius thrusts his spear pushing an air sting at it, and Kento shoots a lighting bullet at it.

The mecha then explodes.

Gaius: We won.

Elliot: Don't know how, though...

The four of them then put their weapon away.

Sara applauds them.

Sara: Not bad. Not bad at all. Excellent use of combat links, too. Seems like helping out SOL really paid off!

Touma brings out a smile.

Laura: Oh...? Maybe I should help Uncle Rai sometime.

Sara then turns to the others.

Sara: All right, on to the second group! Laura. Emma. Alisa. Come forward.

Then all the other student groups up with each other.

With Tassel

Tassel: Right now Class VII is having their practical exam. Touma wonders why Brave Dragon chose him... and it all starts with...

Tassel opens Wonder Story. First page.

Tassel: Wonder World.
