This chapter opens with the news that the police have started an investigation into a strange death in the Old City Zone. The police believe that the death is the result of a serial murder, and that the killer is a robot. The narrator says that robots are just "tools for humans" in this era. The next challenger to Jack's streak of victories is announced, and the narrator urges the kid to do his best. He says that Jack is too naive to believe that he can defeat him. Jack says that he enjoys killing his opponents. The match is over, Jack says, and he surrenders. The kid says that it is "fun" to torture someone who is unable to fight back. He then shows the kid the strongest "royal armor" he has ever seen, and says that the kid looks like he is in a "rush to die" . He asks the kid why the kid is escaping, and when the kid replies that he is not, the kid says, "Woohoo, what a haul!" , and then he says that his "little thing of mine" is only used for a "surprise attack" , which is why he won't be able to defeat Jack in the match. He tells the kid that he will return when he is free, but first he wants to get revenge on the kid who killed him.
