Shino and the others came to Shinji's house to ask whether he had gotten permission from POX and the government officials.
Shinji: I only needed to visit POX. They gave me permission, and I also sent them a letter asking them to inform the government on my behalf. They approved it too. So from now on…
I'm your sensei.
Shino: That's great. Sorry you had to handle all that at your age… So, when does our training actually start? And what kind of training are we doing?
Shinji: Your training starts now. First, I'm going to boost your physical strength.
Shino: Wait, what?! We just came from school. We have school tomorrow!
Shinji: No need to worry. I already spoke to your principal. You don't have to attend every day until the POX exam.
Shino: Thanks… but we're really tired after school today. Can we start tomorrow, please?
Shinji: No, you can't. Come with me to the backyard. I have something to show you.
Shino (thinking): How is this old man so energetic after all this…
Everyone followed Shinji into the backyard.
They were shocked by the amount of training equipment there.
Jeisuke: How?! There are so many wooden and steel training tools here…
Shinji brought five energy drinks. Everyone drank theirs.
Akaimo (thinking): I need to sleep… If I can just get out of here and go home… This isn't for me… I'll do it tomorrow.
Akaimo tried to sneak out of the backyard, but Shinji was suddenly behind him.
Shinji: So, how's your day, Mr. Akaimo?
Akaimo started sweating like crazy.
Akaimo: Sir, I was actually… uh… I was just…
Shinji: Escaping?
Akaimo: No, no, not that… it's just—
Shinji: Go train before I make you do 100 push-ups.
Akaimo started training with the others.
Shinji: Now, all of you, follow me. I've built a 700-meter runway. I want you to finish it within 2 minutes and 30 seconds. The more you fail, the more times you run it. Now go.
Akaimo (running): I'm already tired… and now this old man is—ugh…
Everyone needed 5–7 tries to finish the 700 meters within 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
Except Akaimo, who was running at turtle speed.
Shinji: Akaimo! If you run like that, you'll never finish!
Akaimo: But… I'm… really tired… professor…
Shinji: Stop with the excuses and finish! I'll treat you all to ramen after training if Akaimo finishes this challenge!
Shino and Momoshimo: Hey Akaimo, you better finish or we lose the treat!
After hearing "ramen," Akaimo completed the run in 2 minutes.
Shinji (thinking): Nice… looks like food is his fuel.
Before going to the ramen shop, Shinji gathered them in the backyard. It was almost night.
Shinji: This is the moment I was waiting for. Since there aren't many people outside, I can finally say this. I didn't want anyone to hear and panic, so I chose nighttime.
Shino: What do you want to tell us, sensei? And why would people panic?
Shinji told them everything the POX branch 3 Director had said.
Shinji: Let me say this once and for all. Do not go to the east side of this nation. At all. This is not a request — it's an order from your sensei. If you disobey, the consequences will be fatal.
Everyone, scared and sweating: Sure… sensei…
After that, Shinji took them to the ramen shop.
Shinji: Since you aren't going to school tomorrow, I want all of you at my house at exactly 5:30 a.m.
