## Summary

In June 1923 a funeral procession crossed the countryside. After the start of the Great Choujin War, unleashed by Quiem, the need for clergy grew and the people did not forget to mourn their dead. The procession in question had a total of just five hundred members but for someone it was a sufficient display of blasphemy.

Suddenly Quiem appeared in the sky, in the form of a huge black bomber, and began to prey on civilians, drawing much pleasure from it ... for him it was like hunting for sport. In addition, he seemed to have particular contempt for God and the clergy.
In a few moments Quiem reduced to shreds everyone present and among them also the young nun Sora Siruha.
However, the girl survived, awakening as Choujin.

Returning to the present, Sora's memories are mentally transmitted by Sato to all members of Yamato Mori, with the help of viewers, every year.
Sato explains how a Choujin X can become both the salvation and the enemy of the world. Sato explains to the trainees how their duty is to ally with the Choujin X who prove to be allies but to destroy those who oppose them.

After finishing the broadcast, even with a lot of difficulty given the number of people, Sato argues with Sandek, deeming it essential to constantly educate the recruits on the subject and that caution is never enough. Furthermore, there is also the prophecy that Mado left in his diary that predicted a Choujin that will break the balance and reduce Yamato to ruin.

Sato questions Sandek about his concern for Azuma's future and whether he could become the Choujin of the prophecy, however the man believes that the boy does not yet have the influence to cause so much destruction but that he has taken him under his wing anyway. due to a resemblance to his younger brother.

Meanwhile Ely and Tokio, after seeing Sato's projection, are a bit depressed and Azuma wonders if this Choujin X, if it appears in every generation, has already appeared. The boy's thoughts are interrupted by the arrival of Maiko and Simon who questions Azuma about his desire to become a Keeper.

Simon thinks it will be a difficult path for him and that he will have to work hard, in fact the Keeper's role is to protect the weak, not hurt those around him. Though Maiko tries to calm him down and Azuma hopes he'll be well advised so that this doesn't happen again, Simon makes it clear that someone who loses control and vision of what's important isn't cut out to be a Keeper, and that it would be best for him to do not do nothing.

The discussion is interrupted by the arrival of Sato who remembers how the three boys should be on summer break from school and offers them a short training period to enhance their skills. They will go to a deserted island where they won't have to worry about being in the way. After the necessary preparations Azuma, Ely and Tokio land on an island.
