## Chapter Guide

**To Stake Your Life** (身命 (しんめい ) を賭 (と) す, *Shin'myōo Tosu*?) is the 11th Chapter of Daisuke Enoshima's manga series, *Fabricant 100*.

## Plot

Hugo, a Mortsafe member with one star, is in charge of accompanying Fabricant 100 and Ashibi to their upcoming mission. Hugo was about to hand out the Mortsafe badge, which serves as a member's identification as a human and which a fabricant is not permitted to wear, before they started their mission. When someone doesn't wear one, the Combatants will immediately label them as a Fabricant. Hugo deliberately avoided it when Ashibi was about to take it from his hands so that Ashibi would not be able to get to it.

Hugo had the same speed ability as Luka, so when Ashibi was about to leap in to grab the badge, Hugo was quick enough to avoid it, surprising both Ashibi and Fabricant 100. Hugo's explanation for why he did not want to distribute the badge infuriated Ashibi. Hugo said he dislikes how Ashibi would put someone else's life before his own in order to defeat enemies and avoid being branded as inferior to him despite having grown up in hand-to-hand combat to get where he is today.

Ashibi claimed that by fighting for the promise that, once he reached adulthood, he would give Fabricant 100 both his life and his body, he was already risking his own life. Hugo is of the opposite opinion. Given that he is fully aware when he is already dying, he believes it isn't the same as taking a life-threatening risk. He believes that every time they get to fight a Fabricant, they are facing their fear and overcoming it to be able to defeat them. After their subsequent mission, he said that it is up to him whether or not to hand out the badge.

There is an unexpected gunshot not too far from where they are while they are having a serious conversation. They became aware when a man flew over their location. Ashibi concluded that the man was not shot; rather, he sustained serious injuries as a result of the significant impact caused by being thrown from a great distance. The man, who was struggling to stay alive, requested assistance regarding his young sister, who was still at the mansion on the summit. Ashibi had a flashback of his older sister after hearing what the man had said. He decided what to do. After the completion of their subsequent mission, he will obtain the badge from Hugo and receive his blessing. Ashibi's comments caused Hugo to smirk, and the three then started to flee their position and went their way into the palace.

A silhouette of an individual from a house not so far from where the three are running, can be made out observing them, and was excited to see someone from the Yao Family once more.

## Trivia

According to their proficiency in combating a fabricant, the Combatants are divided into 5 stages. Luka is one of the six individuals with a total of five stars. People who are 5 star-rank has the same fighting skills as Fabricant numbers 80 through 100, which explains how Luka was able to withstand Fabricant 100's blows during their first encounter.
