After Hina's mother passed away, she starts her journey to find The Legendary Ace, Waste War's hero. But unfortunately, encounters a fraud.

Centuries ago a Great War known as the Waste War raged across the planet. A group of warriors known as Aces distinguished themselves with feats of superhuman strength, only to vanish once the war ended. Licht easily defeats the soldiers with his super speed, showing that his footsteps contain enough power to shatter the ground. Nana explains Licht's speed earned him the name Ace of Flashing Strikes, and that while his 5700 is the number of his defeated enemies, his negative 999 is the number of women who have rejected him. Licht easily defeats the sergeant, reducing his number to 1 and giving Hina not only her stolen 440, but the rest of his number as well, raising Hina's number to 760. Licht suddenly steals Hina's 10,000 Ballot, leaving her a stuffed doll in exchange. Hina is devastated at losing her memento of her mother. Nana later reveals Licht hid the Ballot in the doll and only pretended to steal it in front of witnesses, since Ballots are illegal, meaning the soldiers will only search for him and leave Hina alone. Hina tearfully tries to stop Licht leaving, but when he ignores her pleas she shouts that she hates him, changing his negative 999 to negative 1000. Hina is suddenly confronted by one of the soldiers who reveals he is actually a spy. He thanks her for helping him and informs his real masters that Licht has finally been located.

Licht can’t help but be impressed by how peaceful and happy the people in Lynn’s town are. However, that peace is broken with the arrival of Jail, Lynn’s superior officer.

Jail reveals his true Count of 12500. He even overtakes Licht in raw speed, Licht’s specialty. As the townsfolk and Lynn look on, Licht is backed into a corner.

Hina catches up to Licht, guided by a hunch and aided by Nana. They meet Pelmo, another hunch-driven woman. Pelmo is chasing after a lifelong dream, which turns out to be quite dangerous.

Lynn and Pele also catch up to Licht. Sensing the establishment of an awkward love triangle, Nana proposes a cooking match to lighten up the mood.

Jail, Lynn and Pele enter the town of Linden and discover that its inhabitants were annihilated by an unknown entity. Jail is confident that Licht must know something about this.

The helicopter attacks and Licht tells everyone to take cover but Murdoch resists Licht taking command. Licht reveals he holds a military rank of Colonel and draws the helicopters attention while Murdoch is confused how a criminal could be a Colonel. Everyone begins cheering as Licht attacks the helicopter but the abyss stops him. Lynn reveals the military calls the abyss’ arms Althing. Althing tries to grab the helicopter while Licht attacks Althing but is shocked by it repeatedly. Hina asks Murdoch to help but he refuses as attacking Althing is punishable by execution and he will not let anyone break the law. However Murdoch "accidentally" loses his glasses. Unable to see any laws being broken Murdoch attacks Althing and the soldiers all coincidentally go blind as well. They create a ladder for Licht to reach the helicopter but he is shocked after seeing inside the cockpit. The helicopter is suddenly shot down by the homicidally insane "Ace of Pursuit" Sonohara Mizuka, who possesses the number 32,000. She shoots Murdoch and begins murdering everybody, revealing she is obsessed with following the last order Licht gave her during the Waste War, to kill everybody. Sonohara reveals Licht's real name is Rihito and she wants him to revert to his former bloodthirsty personality and kill her, or she will murder a nearby child. Licht snaps and kills her men so fast their bodies simply disappear. Licht finally answers Hina and Murdoch's questions of who he is. He is the Plunderer and he dreams of claiming everything in the country for himself. (Source: Wikipedia)

Licht unleashes his true power, becoming an overwhelming killing machine. However, it seems like his unmatched strengths come at a high cost.

Licht and Mizuka have returned to their normal selves. While the ladies in the group suffer the consequences of Licht and Mizuka’s unresolved Star Stake, Jail receives an order to report to the supreme commander of the military.

Nana sends Jail, Lynn, Pele and Hina 300 years back in time. They arrive at an unknown institution with technology far superior to the world they are accustomed to, and meet Rihito, a young man Hina is convinced is Licht himself.
