## Plots

### Past Event

Licht (a.k.a. Rihito) was abandoned by his mother as a child, due to lack of money to buy food and the fact that the world didn't have enough resources to survive. He was later brought into his new house by his adoptive grandmother. His grandmother introduced him to his new brother Sakai Tokikaze and told him that they would be living together. While living together, Rihito was known to be a trouble maker, so he and Tokikaze were always punished by their grandmother. Despite the amount of love both his grandmother and Tokikaze gave him, Rihito still waited for a reunion with his mother, to the point where he goes to the same supermarket where his mother abandoned him every weekend and saved some of his money from Tokikaze's money bank.

A few years later, Tokikaze decided to enroll into the training school. The grandmother asked Rihito to bring him back, as she did not want Tokikaze to be a killer. Rihito accepted her plea and set off to bring Tokikaze back home.

At some point before Rihito and Tokikaze went to the training school, Rihito went to the supermarket in hopes of seeing his mother again. At that time, Tokikaze bought ice-cream for Rihito to eat. He said that he noticed that Rihito has been saving money from his money bank for over a year, and that's how he able to buy the ice-cream despite it being so expensive. As Rihito only ate half of the ice-cream, Tokikaze told him just to eat all of it because no matter how much he missed his mother she would never return to get him and to eat the remaining ice cream. After Tokikaze says that he was relieved that his mother wouldn't return it angered Rihito and he punches Tokikaze for disrespecting his mother. After he punches Tokikaze, Tokikaze says their grandmother told them that siblings should never fight against each other unless it's to make someone happy. Tokikaze asks Rihito that if he ever reunites with his mother would he leave him and his grandmother alone, and asks if he doesn't intend to live with them then why does he keep saving his money for so long. Tokikaze also said that even though they aren't blood-related that they're still brothers, so he will always worry for Rihito and would feel sad if he left him alone. After Rihito realized what's more important to him, Tokikaze made a promise with him that they will never fight against each other unless its to make someone happy.

When arriving at the 13th Special Military Forces School, Rihito, Tokikaze and other students attended the orientation where Schmelman Bach started to read a children's book about the Tortoise and the Hare. Unable to control themselves, the students burst into fits of laughter and start to make fun of Schmelman. They joked that they must be children, so when they were told to be quiet by Schmelman, Ichinose Saki states that they didn't understand the concept of silence since they were "children". This lead Alexandrov Grigorovich (Alan) to shoot Saki in the head stating that to be a soldier, they must learn how to listen and obey their superiors. He then said that anyone who cried or screamed would also be shot. He continued to shoot other students while stating that any soldier questioning their superior officer was also another way to die. Alan turned his weapon on Hina, but Tokikaze quickly interfered and drew his blade on Alan, questioning him on how he could kill people so carelessly. Rihito, unbeknownst to everyone else, had sneaked up behind Schmelman while the conflict occurred. Rihito put a stick onto Schmelman's neck as a threat, but quickly realized he had no idea how to hanfle the current situation. Schmelman then showed Rihito where to place his hands to efficiently snap his neck. Schmelman requested Rihito to kill him, otherwise his brother, Tokikaze, would die. Rihito backed away and refused to kill Schmelman. Rihito then pleaded to spare everyone in exchange for his own life as a sacrifice. However, Schmelman said that there was no other way and declared that he would kill them all while emitting a deadly aura which put everyone on their knees except Rihito. As Schmelman was about to attack Rihito, Firenda stopped him and commented that he has gone too far, and that she would take over. Each instructor introduced themselves to the students with Alan revealing that the bullets he shot at the students were in fact just paint balls. After all students departed to the cafeteria, Alan and Schmelman stayed and talked to each other about a "rare" human they found. Alan thought he was talking about Tokikaze, but Schmelman was talking about Rihito. Noting that when Alan immediately pulled out his weapon, he was the only one who immediately took action and that instead of attacking Alan directly, he went after the commander and took him hostage.

On the first day of school, every student received two stars and were told that: every day at 18:00 (6:00 PM) they should check the number of stars each students possessed. Any student with 10 stars is enlisted into the army and will receive extra payment/food rations, while those that have less than 10 stars would be expelled from the school. While all the students received two stars for starters, Schmelman instead gave Rihito a special task. Rihito was to recieve no stars and was told that his objective was to steal them from others. This allowed Alan and Schmelman to test his abilities. After the class took a break, Rihito sat at his desk and was more concerned if Firenda wore panties rather than the special task given to him. Knowing this, Hina and Lyne Mei got angry and told him to take this seriously. Rihito stated he didn't care if he would be expelled from the school since his only purpose being there was to bring Tokikaze back home.

Knowing Rihito's true purpose for being there, Tokikaze tells him that he wouldn't return home since he wanted to become a soldier. Soon after Rihito and the class hear Sonohara Mizuka's scream and immediately went to investigate, they find that Douan Taketora also joined into the school and was bullying Mizuka for her stars. Tokikaze tried to tell Taketora to stop, but he didn't listen and warned Tokikaze that if he kept opposing him; he would get his grandmother kicked out from the dojo that Douan family was in charge of. Taketora also stated that if Tokikaze didn't want his grandmother to suffer, that he should give him his stars too. Tokikaze concerned about his grandmother's well being gives up his stars to Taketora. Tokikaze now concerned about how to gain more stars to avoid expulsion is told by Rihito that he could just give up and return home. However, Tokikaze still refuses to give up on becoming a soldier, so his grandmother could live comfortably without worrying about taking care of him and Rihito. After seeing Tokikaze's tears, Rihito proceeded to beg Taketora to return Tokikazes stars so he wouldnt be expelled. Taketora punches Rihito violently away and calls him weak. Unknown to Taketora, Rihito managed to steal Taketora's stars and gives them back to Tokikaze and the other students. After Tokikaze regained his stars, Rihito told him that they would be staying at school together, since he believed doing so would allow their grandmother to live comfortably since their needs were taken care of by the military.

A few weeks later, after Schmelman informed Class A about a peeping incident, Tokikaze and Rihito having a conversation about it and said they have to capture the peeping tom first before the instructors did. Rihito stated he will soon peeping the woman's bath so he leaves the room. While Tokikaze told him to be careful, he just confused and realized that Rihito is the peeping tom, Then, Rihito told Tokikaze that he wasn't the peeing tom but he will disguise as one, so their classmate won't be sacrificed by the instructors. Tokikaze, in order to protect Rihito, he stated he will do that job instead so he claims himself is the peeping tom. Then, Alan overheard Tokikaze's words and mistakenly thought he was the real peeping tom so he captured him. Soon, Rihito went in front of bath doors and thinking how to peeing the woman's bath since Firenda is guarding outside. Then, he found out a idea that just simply went into woman's bath like nothing happened. When he enters the supposedly "woman's bath", he realized that it's actually man's bath and captured by the girls. Saki explains that it's Pele Poporo's idea for switching both bath's names, as he already knew Rihito is the culprit from the beginning. Later, when Jail Murdoch went unconscious after leaved the woman's bath, Rihito tried to run away but he was captured by Alan. Because of him captured the culprits, Alan punishing all Class A students by running outside. Jail told Rihito to peeping woman's bath again tonight, as he believes running for punishment is so much better than listening Schmelman's storybooks. Although Tokikaze and other students claims this is a bad idea. During that night, Rihito sent a fake love letter to Alan, so that he can peeps the woman's bath without being captured by Alan. Rihito also doing the same thing in the next few days too.

A few weeks after the culprit was revealed to be Rihito and the class receives a punishment, the Class A is still doing their punishment due to Rihito keep peeping the woman's bath. Because of this, Alan stated he will give them a "prize" for doing their punishment everyday, which soon revealed to be Forest Survival trip. During the trip, Rihito told the girls there's a river around the forest, the girls were happy and went to drinks it's water but Rihito made a trap to cause them fall into the river. The girls soon realized his true intention that he wants to see their underwear and covers their body, although they soon went back to the forest without covering their body, which Rihito found it odd. The girls explains they don't care since Rihito already seen them a lot of times, and that they must not afraid about it as gender doesn't matter in the battlefield. Soon, when Saki tried to tame off her bra, Rihito gives his uniform for her to cover her body and asking everyone if they really wanted to become soldiers. Saki and the others stated that they must kill their enemies in order to protect their friends and family. Then, Schmelman appeared and said that they can form the "Non-Killing Army" while they can still becomes a soldier. While the Class A was happy, Tokikaze told Rihito that he will form the "Non-Killing Army" together with him and other students. With this, Class A decided to forms the "Non-Killing Army" under Schmelman's suggestion.

After the Forest Survival trip has ended, Class A's training is finally started. Schmelman stated that he won't train them as hard as Alan. After the explanation, Schmelman told Class A try to hit him in a training battle. Although nobody except Lyne able to hit him, the training has begun. Rihito was told by Schmelman to trains his speed so he can run must faster than a light.

Sometimes later, Rihito found Schmelman playing with dolls and asks him what's he doing, Schmelman claims that he wasn’t playing with dolls, but he treats the dolls as his children. Schmelman explains his past to Rihito about how he accidentally killed his mother and how his wife committed suicide due to fact that she can't pregnant. So, Rihito called Schmelman “Dad” and said Tokikaze's grandmother told him that he can find his own father. Schmelman blushed and asked Rihito to call him "Papa" instead of "Dad". This shocked Rihito and he embarrassingly called him "Papa" once. Schmelman went to hug Rihito and started crying. After this, Rihito becomes Schmelman's adoptive son.

During the summer, the instructors brought the Class A students to the beach for rest and having fun. Rihito took his time to sexually harass the girls, but he got himself attacked by them instead. Soon, the Class A students told Rihito to become the captain of "Non-Killing Army", as he's the only person who still took his time for having fun and sexual harassment even, on a serious moment. Rihito told the Class A students that forms the "Non-Killing Army" is possible. When back at school, Rihito noticed Taketora has once again stolen Mizuka's stars. Taketora explains to Rihito that he stole Mizuka's stars was because she is too weak and don't deserve to become solider. Rihito then said that it's Mizuka's choice to remains training or leave the school, and tells Taketora to return Mizuka's stars back. Taketora, instead of following what he said, he punches Rihito instead and said that he is an idiot for forming a "Non-Killing Army". He also said that the war won't ends as long as the enemy is still alive. After getting beaten by Taketora, Lyne asks Rihito if he seriously thinks if he can protect everyone all by himself, he answers that although he may not able to protect everyone at the same time, he will try his best to help the others as he is the captain of "Non-Killing Army". Lyne felt saddened at Rihito's answer considered his fate on Abandonment War and in 300 years later (Although Rihito unaware at Lyne came from the future).

The war is slowly making its way to the school's doorsteps and with all the testing on the Aerial Ace Project not turning in any new results, Firenda suggested that it was time to initiate the Aerial Ace Project now. Schmelman was upset at the idea of using his students as test subjects and started to freeze Firenda. Calmly she explained to him, the reason for the previous experiments extreme bloodlust was not a fault of the experiment itself, but from Schmelman's blood. She also stated that to make more progress, she needed to advance past the animals, as they were no longer providing any new results. They settled on Rihito as being the first new test subject, but second in the program. Everyone was against the idea, but Firenda defended the program saying that they would not be able to win on their own, that they needed a sorcerer. While getting the blood transfusion from Schmelman, soldiers and helicopters came in with bombs and guns; this was the beginning of the Abandonment War.

As the fighting progressed, students were getting killed left and right, instructors and students were jumping in front of guns to protect other students or their loved ones. During one incident, the male soldiers started to rip the front of the girls tops revealing their undergarments and making suggestive comments. As Rihito slowly started to wake up the earth started shaking confusing everyone. Once both parties were awake, Schmelman gave a Ballot Replica to Rihito and told him that he may have once been a tortoise, but now he is the hare while everyone else is the tortoise. He also advised Licht to walk as gently as possible until he gets used to it. Confused, Rihito left Schmelman started to head upstairs to outside, but due to his enhanced speed, he quickly darted outside and comically ran into the far wall ending up upside-down. Surprising the soldiers, their sergeant told them to kill Rihito, who saw the bullets in slow motion. Easily avoiding them, he stated that they were too slow. That is when he takes notice to the half naked females kneeling by the soldiers. The girls tried to play it off telling him not to worry, and trying to laugh, but Saki started to break and was almost in tears. Rihito ran up and hugged Saki as she cried. Full of rage, he looked at the sergeant of the soldiers and asked, "What were you trying to do to my comrades?" The sergeant pointed his gun at Rihito, but being slow, Rihito knocked out all the soldiers. One of the soldiers who was knocked out, stood up and revealed to the students that he had a bomb, and the only way to deactivate it before he set it off, was for someone, specifically Rihito, to kill him.

     Rihito had denied, he would do any such thing, leading the man to start a countdown from 10. Tokikaze, jumping in, was going to kill the man, but Rihito quickly deflected him and decapitated the man himself. It was revealed by the man that the bomb on his body, was a fake and that he was proving a point: In war, you have to kill to win. You cannot fight in a war without shedding blood.

After Rihito killed the enemies, he runs away from everyone and went to vomit, disturbed that had just killed human beings. When Hina discovered Rihito vomiting, she told him that it wasn't his fault. He claims Taketora was right, that he must kill his enemy to end the war. Despite this, Rihito stated that he was glad that he's the one that killed the people. Knowing other Class A students will still able to form the "Non-Killing Army", he set his count for how many people he has killed in place of his friends and loved ones. As Hina disappearing, due to forced return to her own timeline, she kisses Rihito and told him that she won't let him feel lonely anymore. She also told Rihito to wait for her in the future and she would bear his children. This was the first step of Rihito's descent and the start of his count.

After this incident, Rihito renamed himself from "Sakai Rihito to "Licht Bach". He was consistently sent out onto the front lines. Always coming back with a higher count, more scars, and blood covering his body. But he would always greet Nana with a smile and would always goof around with the other students. His light-hearted spirit was what allowed the students and Nana to forget that they were trained to be soldiers and they would potentially have to kill. Slowly as the war progressed, and the higher Licht's count got, the less open he was. It was becoming noticeable among the students and the girls of Class A were trying to reach him via his perverted side. They walked up and showed him their underwear, where he got up and walked away. Asumi cried and stated the old Licht has gone, but Saki tried to reason that the reason he didn't react was because it was the lingerie, that if they found the lingerie he really liked, he would return to the person he was.

When the other 5 Barons were identified, Licht became their captain and he commanded no one to kill. Of all the barons, Licht wanted to make sure that Tokikaze was the farthest from the front lines. Sometimes during the war, Taketora worked together with Licht. As Licht can't kill children due to Schmelman's genes of loving children, Taketora comes to kill the children instead. After Taketora killed a child, he was attacked by Licht and he asks him that if he killed that child or not, Taketora said yes and said that he's an enemy so they can't keep him alive. Licht apologizes to Taketora about his attack afterward. Then, Taketora made a promise with Licht that they will kill all their enemies so that the Abandonment War could be ended.

As years went on and war continued, Licht continued to go to battle alone to kill the enemy so that his friends did not die, nor did they have to kill, but this slowly took a toll on Licht. The more he killed, the more Schmelman's bloodlust took over. Eventually Schmelman's blood took over entirely and they had to keep Licht heavily bound up for safety. If they were to release him onto a mission, they would pump him full of drugs and drop him into enemy territory. At some point, Licht briefly regained his sanity and told Tokikaze, who keep hoping Rihito to regain his sanity, that he must use the Ballots to ban nuclear weapons. Licht stated that as long as nuclear weapons were banned, he doesn't care if he will forever lose his sanity and emotions. Tokikaze cries and follow Licht's advise to ban nuclear weapons. Sometime later, berserker Licht went to fight against Tokikaze. Tokikaze's wife, Tsukina Farrow, in order to stop the fight between the Sakai brothers, she went to face Licht and stop him. However, Tsukina failed to do so and received a fatal wound from Licht.

An unanimous vote among the instructors using the original ballots, created new land that separated from the mainland and floated in the air; this new land was Althea. Althea abandoned those on the surface and took what resources were left of the Abyss, the surface of the planet. All resources that still remained were quickly were taken over the years and the land stripped bare. All of the Barons, excluding Nana who was asleep, approved of this vote, except for Tokikaze. He took one of the original ballots and ran, trying to tell the rest of the class about what was happening. An unanimous vote was needed for their plan to go through, so Firenda, drugged Licht up and released him on Tokikaze. Unaware of the world and believing Tokikaze was his enemy, Licht slashed Tokikaze, “killing” him. After Licht swung and “fatally” injured Tokikaze, Licht came back to his senses and realized what he had just done. The one person he wanted to protect most from himself and the world, he had just ”killed” with his own hands. This leads to Licht's 300 years of despair. Within the 300 years after the war, not once had he ever removed his mask, nor did he talk.

### Story Event

#### Legendary Red Baron Arc

Licht first appeared in Chapter 1 with his introduction to Hina being him trying to see her panties. Licht asks her for money to buy something else. With him bleeding, Licht stated that he can't hold on anymore and hoping Hina can give him her "money", while he touching her body. Hina was frightened and ran away, but Licht kept following her until he was slapped by Nana Bassler.

Nana wants to apologize for his behavior, Licht interrupts Nana asking about the food. Nana asks him where's the money she gave him to run errands and he doesn’t answer. While Hina introduces herself to Nana, Licht tried to sneak food for himself but he was punched by Nana instead. Hina reveals her count, Licht appears in front of her, trying to see her panties. Nana orders Licht to handstand until he dies, as an example of how count works in this world. Hina asks about the "Legendary Red Baron", Nana asks Licht that if he knew anything, but he was quick to shake his head.

After Hina was invited by the "Legendary Red Baron", it was shown that Licht is drinking with his mask on. He then said that there's someone who tries to impersonating the "Legendary Red Baron" to swindle people and doing awful things to girls. Knowing this, Licht goes to find Hina and save her.

Hina's count was reduced to only one, Licht arrives and states he will challenge Davi to a game of "The Startheft Bout" in Hina’s stead. After Davi saw Licht's ridiculously low count, along with Davi’s subordinates, they laugh at him. Nikola pointed out something's wrong with him, that he isn't suppose to be still alive with that low of a count.

Licht tells Hina to stop finding the "Legendary Red Baron", as they are not heroes but murderers. Although he also stated that he will returns Hina's counts back from Davi, and reveals his true identity that he is the "Legendary Red Baron".

Once his true identity is revealed, the other soldiers’ attitude shifted to fear. Davi denied it and told his henchmen that Licht must be fake Baron, just like him. Licht tells Hina to close her eyes while attacks the soldiers and "teleport" behind Davi. Licht wonders what’s wrong with Davi and tell him that all he did was just "walk around". He also tells Davi that he must return Hina's count back to her.

Davi is easily overwhelmed by Licht’s battle and combat prowess. When Licht jumps higher, he apologizes to Hina for all the violence. Hina told him to not get hurt and he promises her that he will returns her counts back from Davi. Once Davi is defeated, Licht takes Hina's Ballot and told her that he will sell it for money. While Hina cries for him to not leave, he merely says he will give her his doll instead in exchange of Ballot. Hina exclaims that he isn't the hero that she's looking for. Soon after Hina discovered Licht's true intention and went to find him, Hina explains to him that he should stay with her, and that she was happy that she met him. However, Licht didn't choose to stay with her and his first count was reduced to -1000.

Licht went to Hoemmh to hiding himself from the Althea Royal Guard, with wearing a pudding costume and a different mask. When Lyne and her henchmen Pele saw Licht, he tries to hiding his identity and self-proclaimed a man that mostly hate by the women, while he being crying. Then, Pele told Lyne that they should help him, saying that this is the perfect time for her to increase her count. Under Pele's suggestions, Lyne was having a date with Licht as to make him happy. After a while, Pele got tired of this "game" and told Lyne that Licht is indeed the "Legendary Red Baron" that was shown in the wanted poster. Soon, Licht took Lyne's saber away and stated that she can't do anything without her weapon. However, it's revealed that he miscalculate the situation, as Lyne's signature move wasn't swordsmanship but her physical combat. After Lyne realized that people can see her panties, both Licht and Pele wonder why were she so surprised when she wears a miniskirt. Then, Licht "confessed" his love on Lyne, as to turn her off guard so he could run away without her noticing.

In the next day, Licht is still staying at Hoemmh. When Lyne asking someone to help her for promoting stuffs, Licht appeared and stated he will help her. Soon, both Lyne and Pele went to capture Licht again. When the villagers of Hoemmh joined part with the running, Licht asks Lyne that why were she showed her panties yesterday if she's not his girlfriend. Once the villagers claimed that they always saw Lyne's panties everyday, Licht went to hiding himself again from Lyne and wondering why this place seem peaceful. As Licht watching Lyne's relationship with the villagers, he realized that she is not a bad person and that she always tries her best to help them. Soon, Licht went to help Lyne to fix the girl's doll, although she and the villagers went to capture him again. While they're running, it's showed that both Licht and Lyne were smiling together.

After a while, Licht realized someone is coming so he protected Lyne from a attack. Licht was caught by a iron spike attack created by Jail. Jail orders the soldiers to surrounded Licht and told him to stop acting like if he's injured. Then, Licht stated he had no choice but has to fight against them. After everyone realized that Licht is a Ballot Holder, Jail ordered the soldiers to stay back and stated he will handle it himself. After Lyne's explanation on how Ballot works, Licht asked Jail that if he really want to fight him or not, given that his count is merely 900 compared to Licht's 5700 counts. Then, Jail releases his attacks at Licht, which surprised him. As Licht tries to run away with his speed of flash, Jail claimed his speed was too slow and creates a iron pillar in front of him. As Licht fall into the ground, he wonder how comes Jail is that strong and soon realized that he actually hiding his true count. Jail explained that he hide his count was due to one of his conviction to punish evil with his own hands, and the rule from the army that someone with higher count would be forced into a promotion. Soon, Jail revealed his true count is actually 12500, which shocked Licht as he think it'll be troublesome to deal with.

The fight between Licht and Jail continues, he fight Licht in hand-to-hand combat. As Licht showed his fighting style, Jail is surprised a bit. Licht was defeated by Jail in hand-to-hand combat and Jail took his Ballot. Soon, Jail return Licht's Ballot back to him and stated his "Flashing Strike" is too slow. Then, Licht tries to "fly" upon the sky to deal his final blow. As Jail figured that Licht is simply just jumps higher, he throws a lot of kunai knifes at Licht and turns into a iron chains. After Jail successful binding Licht, Jail created a huge iron pillar impacted and defeated him. After Licht was defeated, he was captured by Jail's uncuttable iron of "conviction". Since the mission on capturing the Red Baron had ended, Jail took his time to asking Licht a few questions, as he finds his mission highly unusual. He pointed out that Licht's fighting style is same as those of Althea Royal Guards used, so he suspect that Licht must be a soldier just like him. Despite this, Licht still refuses to answer his questions, so Jail resorts to more violent ways to get the truth out of him. Just as he strikes Licht with his iron chain, Lyne comes in between them and gets hurt instead, she believed Licht to be not a bad man as he had helped her distribute flyers and helped repair a little girl's doll. Jail tears apart Lyne's flyers calling it "stupid" and calling Lyne "useless". Despite the protests of the villagers, Lyne apologizes to Jail, only to hear Licht says don't apologize.

Jail realizes that it wasn't that Licht couldn't cut through his iron but instead was too half-hearted to do so. Consequently, Licht 'easily' tears apart the iron binding him. Jail realized Licht is no mere 5700 and has yet to show his true strength. Jail and Licht attack each other again at their full strength, Jail gets stunned by Licht's immense strength. Licht ridicules Jail for not knowing anything about how the town's peacefulness and governing is because of Lyne, and so he merely orders Jail apologize to her. Because of the power emitting from Jail and Licht, it results to the ground to break of the portion where Lyne was standing and she fall down, shocked by the sudden turn of events Jail and Licht rush forward to save her, but before Jail could, Licht reaches her in a blink of an eye and catches Lyne. When Jail rushed down, Licht tosses Lyne towards him and saying how she is heavy so to be careful cheekily. Licht makes his escape by falling down. Jail stated he won't let him run away and tried to attack him, but he soon stopped his action and rushing back to Hoemmh.

Licht later travel to the other city. While travelling, he coincidentally saw Hina and a girl named Pelmo in trouble. With hiding his face by wearing another mask, he went to save Hina from the man with 656 counts by showing his count. After that man run away, Licht said that he would leave but Hina keep holding his cape, as she immediately realized it was Licht that saved her. Soon, Pelmo thanked Licht and Hina for saving her and asked him if he could fly while touching his body. Soon, she revealed to them that she has been doing the aviation research since childhood. As Licht looking at her "steel bird" design sketch, he noticed there's something missing on the sketch so he drawn the missing parts. Pelmo soon saw his drawn and realized this is why her experiment always failed. Pelmo also asked Licht for his true identity but he ignored her question. As Pelmo prepared to upgrade her airplane, she told Licht and Hina to temporarily stay at outside.

While Pelmo was busying, Licht and Hina having a conversation about what happened back after he deal with Davi, which she called him a liar for broke his promise. Hina asked Licht about his purpose for travelling, but he ignored her question and went to see her panties instead. Although it's interrupted by Pelmo just finished upgraded her airplane. Pelmo later experimented her airplane, but was stopped by that man with 656 counts and the Royal Guards. Before they arrived, Licht destroyed Pelmo's airplane so they couldn't find any evidence that she's doing the aviation research. After the soldiers left, Pelmo's count was dropped to zero and sent into the Abyss. Before Pelmo is taken, she told Licht and Hina that she will be fine and she predicted that she would surely meet them again in the future. After Pelmo has sent into the Abyss, Hina asked Licht to heal her wound on her right hand, but he makes a strange face which his left eye showed a code "001" around. He told Hina not to look at him, apologized her and stated that he can't see someone's blood. Soon, both Licht and Hina saw a smoke coming from Linden, which they wonders what's happening there.

Along with Hina, Licht went back to Nana's mobile tavern. As they returning, Licht tried to told Hina to put her hand down but she doesn't listen, as she afraid he will run away for a second time. When they returned, they noticed Jail and Lyne is also present on the tavern as well which shocks them. Jail told him to have a drinking competition, in order to find the answer about the "Abyss Demon". He also stated if Licht don't do it, he would force him to reveal it by violence. Licht had no choice but agreed to do it. During the competition, Jail keep asking Licht about his identity and where did he came from, but Licht keep ignoring his questions which pissed him off. As Jail and Licht continues, Nana interrupted them and forced them to drink even more alcohols.

     Soon, a earthquake suddenly happened and discovered there's a black hole looked similar to the one from Linden. As Licht trying to figure out what's the "Abyss Demon", he recognized the sound as he found it sounds familiar, so he told Jail and the Royal Guards to call everyone stay back. Jail was angered and asked Licht about the true identity of the "Abyss Demon", which soon revealed to be a helicopter. As the helicopter appeared, he wonder how comes it still can fly when it shouldn't be able to fly again after the end of Abandonment War.

The helicopter launch it's attack, Licht told Jail to create a iron wall to protect the citizen. After the attacks, Licht told Jail and the Royal Guard that they must working together to deal with the helicopter. Jail being furious and asked Licht that why should they follow his orders. Without choice, Licht had to reveals his military rank as a colonel so he could take over the command. Soon, Licht went to fight against the helicopter but the hands of Althing suddenly appeared and stop him from reaching it. As a result, Licht has a trouble to fight. After the Royal Guards decided to help Licht, they tried their best to stop the hands of Althing so that he could reach the helicopter, despite they might ended up receive death penalty. Due to this, Licht is finally able to reach to the helicopter. As he tried to land his attack, he suddenly stopped his attack due to there's a child inside the copper.

Shortly, a mysterious girl appeared behind Jail and she "killed" him and destroyed the helicopter. The mysterious girl is revealed to be Sonohara Mizuka, the Pursuit Baron. After Mizuka introduced herself, the mysterious group with black uniform known as Special Service appeared and killing the citizen. When Hina is almost killed by a spy of Special Service, she was saved by Licht. Then, Mizuka hugged Licht and said she is so happy to reunion with him. Licht asked Mizuka if those Special Service members that killing citizen were her subordinates, she replies with yes and thanked him for her to able to killing people at her "own" will. After hearing her words, Licht realized that Mizuka is currently in her second personality and told her to stop, but she doesn't listen and keep killing, As a lot of citizen dying from Mizuka's bullets, Licht tries to fight against her but he was easily defeated due to her ability as a Baron. After Licht was defeated, along with Hina's group were all captured by the Special Service. Mizuka keep asking Licht to kill her but he keep said that he won't, so she decided to bring a kid around to shows him how the kid will die in front of him. Licht tried to told that child that he would save him, but that child cries and said he want to see her mother. Soon, a sound can be heard in front of everyone, everyone thought it was a gun's sound but it's actually Licht's killing sound in the speed of flash. Being angered, Licht saved Hina's group and the citizen from the hands of Special Service, claiming that he would surely kill Mizuka just as she wished. Nana tries to stop him but Licht told her to shut up, while his left eye showed the code "001" once again. Soon, Licht revealed to Hina and Jail that his is a plunderer and his true purpose is to steal everything from Althea.

After Licht revealed his true purpose, he went to face Mizuka and told her to wager her stars, so that the Startheft Bout can be started. After the declaration, his fight against Mizuka started. As Licht is still not able to beat Mizuka, he had no choice but to awaken his second personality in order to win. As Hina's group wonder what's Licht doing, Nana explained that this is how the Barons originally looked like. Nana stated that he was trying to activate his bloodlust side, which is known as "Schmelman's bloodlust", this would allow Licht to increase his counts rapidly but the cost is that he would lost his sanity. After Licht activated his bloodlust genes, his counts were increased to 57000, which impressed Mizuka as this is the captain that she's familiar with. When the fight continues, Mizuka's expression showed to be on fear due to his killing intent. Because of this, Mizuka is afraid at Licht and is soon to be easily defeated by him. After Mizuka regained her sanity, berserked Licht told her to keep continue fighting and don't acts like a crybaby. With Mizuka crying, Licht claimed that she's a coward and went to kill her. Hina tried to stop Licht but he went to kill her instead, although she's soon saved by Mizuka. Then, Licht thrown Hina away and continue his way to killing Mizuka, up until Jail showed up and saved her.

After Jail saved Mizuka, Licht asked Jail if he is his enemy and Jail says yes. Then, Licht tries to attack him but Jail somehow blocked all of his attacks, although he shortly fall due to his injury received from Mizuka's gunshot earlier. When Licht tries to give Jail a finishing blow, Mizuka went to save him from Licht's attack. Soon, when Licht tries to hit Jail again, he blocks Licht's attack with a small piece of metal, claiming that Licht doesn't have a conviction and a sword without conviction won't able to hurt him. Soon, Jail changed the form of the small metal to a iron pillar and throws at him, asking Licht if he really being serious or not. Licht, while still being controlled by his bloodlust genes, he explained that he must kill everyone in the war in order to protect his friends and family. While Jail claims that Licht simply refuses to admit his mistakes,

     he said that he will also use his true strength as well. Soon, Jail revealed his second count is 45000 and created the iron devil, in his full strength. Licht, while managed to block the first few attacks of Jail's golem is completely no match against Jail and soon defeated by him with his conviction. After Licht was defeated, Jail kicked off Licht's mask and wonder if his original personality returned or not, which Licht revealed that he regained his sanity and crying, although Jail fall into the ground afterward.

#### Return to the Past Arc

*See Past Events*
After the end of the "Abyss Demon" incident, Licht along with the others were hiding somewhere in the forest. Due to the fact that Licht's Startheft Bout battle against Mizuka is left unfinished, the hands of Althing keep harassing the girls while Licht enjoyed watching them being harassed. After Jail returned from his meeting with the Supreme Commander, Licht noticed that Jail was acting strange and soon realized that the Royal Guard forced Jail to capture him, after which Licht stated that he is willing to sacrifice himself for everyone's sake. After Jail stopped his mission of capturing Licht thanks to Nana, she reveals her true identity and claims that Jail and the others were the only ones that can "save" Licht. Licht tries to stop Nana but she insists to send Jail and the others time travel back to the 300 years ago, in order to change his past.

Due to Hina and the others time travel back to the past, Licht's memory about the training school were changed so he could remember them from the past. As they returned to the present timeline, Licht was standing in somewhere around the grassland. Hina went to find Licht and ask him to continue their unfinished "business" from 300 years ago. Suddenly, Licht vomited and claims he wasn't a pedophilia so he won't do it. This pissed off Hina and she tried to claims she's around the same age as him, but he denied her and stated they aren't as he was 300 years older then her. Since then, Licht has been continuously getting harasses by Hina tries to force him to bear his children.

When Licht was harassed by Hina again, he was punched by Jail. As Licht asks Jail what is he doing, he gives Licht an iPad and told him to watch Nana's videos. After he finished watching Nana's videos, Nana was embarrassed and tried to told him to not thinking too much, but Licht ended up giving her a hug instead. Licht revealed that the reason why he never took his mask off wasn't because she reminds him of the Abandonment War, but because he couldn't able to fake his smile in front of her. He stated that the only reason why he's able to lives so long was because of Nana has been staying together with him for 300 years long, he also stated that he should be apologies her earlier to make her suffering and got the wrong impression that she can't help him, while he's crying. During the night, Licht was watching over Nana and the others who were sleeping. While dreaming, Nana said that she won't make Licht sadden again, in which he smiled. Soon, Jail appears and watches over Nana together with Licht, he stated that Licht is a idiot for never noticed Nana's feeling and he agreed.

#### Special Service Arc

Few days later, Licht was forced to find the toilet inside the forest due to him drank too much alcohols. While he is still peeping, Hina is shows to be watching him and his private part which he doesn't know what to do about her. As Licht was harasses by Hina, she asks him if he hates her and why is he keep trying to leave her alone. Before Licht reveal his reason, he asked Hina that if her mother was Tsukina Farrow or not. Soon, Hina was shocked as Licht knew her mother's name. Licht explains that Tsukina was people from 300 years ago, just like him. While explaining how he knew Tsukina's past, he mentions that he already knew Hina was her daughter way back when they first meet by learning her name and the fact her name was written in kanji, the writing system that should had been long abandoned in Althea. Just as Hina was shocked at how Licht knew so many stuffs, he reveals that her father was in fact, Tokikaze, the one who Licht murdered by his own hands and makes him felt despair for over 300 years long. After the reveal, Hina, Lyne, Pele and Nana all passed out from wine drugged by Licht, while says that he is leaving to defeat the Special Service.

Just as Licht was about to leave, he overheard someone's voice who told him to stop, which revealed to be Jail who resists the drug and didn't passes out like the rest. Both Licht and Jail arguing each other about what they're trying to do. Jail reminded what Licht said back then when he said he wants to steal everything from Althea, meaning that what Licht wants to do was to steal all Ballots from Special Service and Royal Guards to make Althea fall. As the soldier of the Royal Guards, Jail have to protects Althea from falling so he will stop Licht from doing so. However, Licht said that he's insisted to do so or else his fallen comrades won't forgive him for the creation of Althea. Soon, both Licht and Jail gives headbutt to each other and both saying they will killing each other if don't stop arguing. After they finished their arguments, Licht asked Jail to protect Hina and the others for him, but Jail refused and said Licht should have to do that job himself instead, which Licht stated that he can't. As Licht heading towards the Special Service's bases, he reveals that he wants to meet Hina again and stay together with her after everything was ended.

As Licht arrived at Abandoned Capital Hoffnung, he realized this place looked similar to what Nana seen in her dream about someone killed him. Soon, Licht noticed someone is coming and got pins down to the ground by the gravity. It was revealed that it's Taketora and his gravity ability that affected his movements, Taketora said he is Licht's nature enemy and his "flashing strike" is weak against his "heavy". Soon, Taketora uses his gravity to destroy the roof of a ruined house, which caused the rocks to crush Licht down. As the rocks falling, Taketora stated that he doesn't hate Licht's action but he won't allow him to make Althea falls to the ground so he needs to die. As Licht is about to die, he keep thinking about Hina and how he want to told her that he didn't really hate her. Licht was soon "killed" by Taketora's attack afterwards.

Despite his "death", his corpse still looked clean and didn't have any wounds or injury around, this makes everyone realized that he might be still alive later on. After Lyne successfully escaped from berserked Mizuka's attacks, she tried her best to wakes Licht up but it doesn't work. As Lyne is about to die, Licht finally awakened and catch her from falling in which she cried afterwards. Licht asks Lyne where is everyone and she says in the Abandoned Capital Hoffnung. After that, Licht says he will find the medical room around the abandoned capital to heal Lyne's injury first. Lyne says that Licht should save Hina and the others first before her, but he says it's unneeded as he already requested Jail to protect them in his place. After Jail saved Hina and the others, Licht arrived at abandoned capital which makes Taketora angered. Before Taketora could attack Licht, he tell him to hold on for a moment as this is part of their promise, Taketora then says he will be waiting until Licht finished his stuffs. Soon, Licht tells Pele that he need to heal Lyne's injury on the medical room hiding inside the capital. While the villagers of Hoemmh doesn't understand what's Licht talking about, Pele tries to claim he doesn't know how to use the medical room, only have Licht tells him stop acting like as if he doesn't know anything when Pele knew how to do surgery himself. Being serious, Pele bring Lyne to the medical room while claiming she's a dumbass.

As Pele leaving, Licht went to talk with Hina, as he want to say something to her after he made a promise with Lyne earlier, which reveals he's actually in-love with Hina since the beginning. Licht reveals the reason why he denied her feeling earlier, was mainly due to his guilty about him killed his adoptive brother, who's also Hina's father as well. Because of this, Licht tried to make several attempt to make her hate him so she won't came close with him, although it doesn't work as she still ended up being closer with him. Soon, Hina claims Licht is a idiot and kiss him. After the kiss, Hina reveals that while her mother does want her to find the Legendary Red Baron, the Baron she wanted her to find is the person who she chosen and fell in-love with. After the explanation, Hina wants Licht to promise her that he will never try to hide his emotions inside his mask and don't try to leave her alone again. After he promised her about what she said, Hina says that they can make baby now since they've officially become couple, Licht says that they can't as it's still too early for that. Soon, Hina wants Licht to promise her one more thing, that he had to solve everything first before they could make a baby and never try to fight alone. Licht then says she got one thing wrong, is that while he's no longer working together with the Class A students after he started killing, he never fight his enemies alone and Taketora always help him in the battlefield.

After Licht and Hina's conversation had ended, the fight between him and Taketora finally started. During the fight, Taketora wonder why can't Licht understand the concept that they must kill their enemy in order to achieve their victory, Licht says that the mindset of killing and stealing by force will only create more wars than actually bring peace to the world, so he will reforms the "Non-Killing Army" and ends the war in a good way. After a while, Licht asks Taketora if he still remember the Abandonment War, Taketora said he will never forgot that war and their promise. Taketora asks Licht that why must he destroy Althea so they would went through the same hell once again, while Licht also wonder why Taketora still keeping that same mindset that killing is only the solution for over 300 years long, despite he was also remorse at the creation of Althea as well. Then, Licht tries to advise him to join his group and help him, as he need Taketora's power to achieve his goal. Soon, Licht knocked Taketora down with his fist.

After Taketora's defeat, he returns Hina's Ballot back to her, saying that he would never surrender to Licht and help him. Before he leave, Taketora reveals some information about the "Wall of Paradise", a huge wall build with the usage of Ballots that nobody but those who used original Ballots can enter. He says that he saw the "Class A" students walking inside the wall two months ago, which everyone being surprise at it. As Taketora leaving, he wonders that if he really saw them inside the wall or if it's merely just his illusion. Being shocked, everyone can't believe what Taketora said while Licht thinking if they're really still alive or not.

After Taketora left the abandoned capital, Licht was "punished" by the villagers from Hoemmh due to him rejected Lyne's confession earlier, although he doesn't know the reason why the villagers attacked him in the first place. Pele stares at Licht and asks him what's happened, Licht stated that he has been sexual harassing by Hina ever since their confession. While he tries to hiding himself from her, he was attacked by the villagers from Hoemmh instead. As Licht cleaning all the messes, Pele wants to ask him a question. Licht tried to look at Pele but he was disappeared, only Pele suddenly appears behind him with his killing intent. Pele demands to know how Licht knew Pele could perform lifesaving surgery on Lyne, asking why he chosen him out of all people when he knew Hina has long learned the medical stuffs from the training school 300 years ago. In serious, Licht explains that he already knew that Pele was more than just a ordinary soldier since the "Abyss Demon" incident, specifically how he saves Lyne from the Special Service. Licht points out that since most of the Althea citizens doesn't know anything about the modern technology due to the fact such technology has been limited to only members from Special Service can use them, the handguns is also limited to only they aware and knew how it works. Back when Pele tries to save Lyne, his reaction towards the guns clearly isn't someone who had just see the gun for the first time, which implying that Pele might be a spy from the Special Service. Without choice, Pele attempt to cut Licht's head off from being risk at his true identity revealed, only stopped when Licht claims he is Lyne's friend so he won't see him as a enemy.

Sometimes later, Licht is peeing in toilet, while having Hina watching him peeing and saying his private part looks like it's in good shape. Hina strips her clothes and says they will make a baby inside the toilet, which shocks him for her sexual harassment. He tried to claim that Tsukina would sad if she saw her daughter acted like a shameless pervert, Hina reveals that her mother taught her that if she finds a man she loves, she has to open her legs and not let him escape. As Licht was about to be "raped", it was interrupted by Nana and Jail who wants to discuss their next move.

As the discussion begins, Jail asks Licht about what he wants to do, Licht reveals that he decide to collect some Ballots to approve a new rule so they could enter the "Wall of Paradise". Jail realized that Licht is still curious about what Taketora said previously, Licht says that while there's might be a chance that Taketora only seen an illusion, but if the Class A is indeed still alive he wants to meet them once again. After hearing Licht's words, Jail realized that he want to steal the Ballots from the Althea Royal Guard, which means they will face against Alexandrov. He gives Licht a warning that battle against the Royal Guards won't be easy, as not only Alexandrov was there but there's also have Three Grand Generals which is considered as one of the strongest troops among the Royal Guards, what's even worse is the fact the army have over 5000 soldiers in total to back their arms. More importantly, there's security guards watching over the entrance to the Althea and they cannot fake their own identity due to the Ballots has a ability to check their identity. As the others has a hard time of figuring how to enter Althea, Nana figured out an "ancient" plan that could use against any man regardless of how many centuries has passed, which as the "horny trap" by her.

Once they had arrived on Althea, Licht disguised as a ugly woman who tries to seduces the security guards, Nana (As the owner of a brothel) says that they're planning to open a brothel in the Althea so she hope the security guards allow them to enter the city. However, the security guards doesn't fall into the trap due to the woman she had was ugly. As Licht's disguise doesn't work, Nana calls Jail out instead which he also dressed as a woman too. After Nana and the others successfully entered the Althea, Nana was laughed at how perfect Jail's disguise was, to the point where Licht even tried to ask him if he wears woman's panties before he was punched by him.

After they found a hotel to stay, Nana said that they would two mans and two womans to sleeps on two different rooms. However, Hina disliked the idea so she choose to sleep together with Licht, while Nana would have to sleep with Jail instead. Once they stay inside the room, Hina intended to continue their unfinished business but she wants to ask him a question first before doing that. Hina asked Licht about what's exactly happened to Schmelman in these 300 years. Although she couldn't forgive him on the Class A being treated as test subjects, she also felt something's odds about him that doesn't match up with what he said before the Abandonment War. Licht reveals that his current last name "Bach" used since the Abandonment War, was in fact, Schmelman's last name. He explains that while he didn't told anybody about this, he became Schmelman's adoptive son sometimes before the war started. After hearing Schmelman's past, Hina was surprised at it. Licht said that she's right about something might had happened to Schmelman, claims that no matter how much his personality has changed he would never betray a children. His personality of loving children is also one of the reasons why Licht believes Taketora's words that the Class A may be still alive. Hina said that after everything was finished, she will make a baby with Licht and shows Schmelman his grandchildren in the future, which he fainted afterwards.

On the next day, Licht and the others noticed the explosion coming from the royal capital and heard the soldier's words that Alexandrov "killed" the King of Althea so they had to capture him. Being not able to believe what the soldiers, Jail decided to find Alexandrov and ask him what happened. Licht tried to stop Jail from going outside as they're also criminals as well but he didn't listen. As Jail running outside, both he and Jail was dragged into the alleyway by someone else, which soon revealed to be Alexandrov who tries to defends himself. Once they meet Alexandrov, Jail asks him why did he killed the king, and Alexnadrov explains that the one who killed the king wasn't him but Robert Du Vanvich and the Special Service. He explains that they tries to use him as a scapegoat for their murdering so that Special Service can fully controls the entire Althea with their own hands.

After a while, Alexandrov gives Licht the three Ballots that he owns under the request from the king. Alexandrov also tells Licht that don't let those three plus the remaining one Ballot that he owns given in the hands of the Special Service. After Alexandrov gave his three Ballots to Licht, he asks him what kind of wish will he make since now he has the majority of the votes. While Licht says that he doesn't know what to do, he said that he will decide his wish together with his friends and comrades. Licht stated that while the creation of Althea was wrong, at the very least the creation does stopped the war from continuing until the humanity were destroyed. Then, Licht revealed that his wish is to destroy the Althing and ends the war properly as the new Non-Killing Army. Hearing his answer, Alexandrov were shocked and said he can't believe how naive Licht are. Soon, after Alexnadrov suggested Jail to reform the Gefängnis group, he also suggest Licht to regain his original Ballot from Special Service and let them tastes his true strength. Jail, being confused, he asked Alexandrov if he decided to sacrifice himself to fight against the Special Service, Alexandrov then stated he want the Special Service to stay on hell together with him and Charles for their sins. As Licht's group leaving, he revealed some stuffs to Alexandrov that, after all these years the love latter he received is actually fake latter written by Licht himself. Because of this, Alexandrov were angered and tries to kill Licht. Then, Licht said farewell to Alexandrov and hope he will survive after this event.

As Licht and the others leaving Althea, they all noticed Alexandrov's explosion attack and realized that his fight against Special Service has begun. Jail informs Licht that he will take his time to reform the Gefängnis group, while Nana informs Licht that she will brings Lyne, Pele and the villagers back to Hoemmh as she thinks staying at the abandoned capital can become dangerous at any time. Before she went to the abandoned capital, Nana tells Hina to go with her as Licht is heading to the Special Service's base which means she could be on danger when she arrived there. However, Licht disagreed with Nana's words and said that Hina should stay with him together. After conversation had finished, they all begins their moves to doing their own plans. While Licht and Hina heading to the Special Service's base, he said that he won't leave her alone anymore and from now on she will stay with him together. After hearing his words, Hina was happy and glad that he won't abandons her again.

Just as Hina was happy, she was stabbed by a Special Service spy with a knife, which surprised Licht and wonder how did she being stabbed. The Special Service spy revealed himself from the dimension world, he said that his count is stands for the number of times he connected to the dimension and killed his target. He then put a dimension circle surrounding Hina's waist, asked Licht what would he do if he "altered" Hina's body, he replies that he won't die a normal death. That spy requests Licht to give the three Ballots to him, if he doesn't want to see Hina being killed. Soon, the land started shattering which he mistakenly thought the Althing's power is weakling, so he told Licht to hands over all the Ballots before Althea falls down. As the land si shaking, Licht overheard a familiar voice from the Abyss, which soon revealed it's Tokikaze entering the Althea. Licht cries after seeing Tokikaze's unexpected return.

While Licht is crying at the fact Tokikaze is still alive, the Special Service spy reminds him that Hina's life is still on danger so he and Tokikaze shouldn't do anything suspicious. Soon, that spy tells Licht that he must kill Tokikaze again in order to save Hina's life, Licht had no choice but to fight against Tokikaze for a second time. Before Licht could fight him, Tokikaze already killed that spy by slashing the entire dimension.

When Tokikaze "hugged" Licht, Licht was crying and apologizing for what he did to him 300 years ago, but what Tokikaze did is actually trying to steals the original Ballots that Alexandrov gave him earlier. Tokikaze asked Licht that if he gathering the Ballots to make Althea fall or not, and Licht replied with yes and this is the decision he make together with Jail and the others. Then, Tokikaze claims that Licht is his enemy so he attacks him with his "blink" attack. Licht tried to protect himself but his speed wasn't fast enough to react and heavily injured instead. After Tokikaze told Schmelman that he will tatse the same despair as he and the people from Abyss did, Licht asks him why did he brought Hina back to the Abyss, Tokikaze said that he simply want to heal Hina's wound but he warned that the lack of resources on Abyss might lead to her death. Licht was angered at Tokikaze's words so he tried to bring Hina back but he was easily defeated by Tokikaze's attacks.

After Tokikaze and Hina left the area, Licht only remembering his past with Tokikaze during their childhood days and their grandmother's request that she doesn't want to see Tokikaze become a murderer. Licht then tries to stand up and screams Tokikaze's name in anger. Licht fainted afterwards and then later saved by Nana.

Few weeks later, when both Tokikaze and Schmelman doing the Althing, Licht is shows to be watching them approving new rules. After Tokikaze made the rule that they could use nuclear weapons again, Licht tried to stop him but he won't listen.

Few days later, Licht and the others attempt to enter Illusionary City Geist in order to regain his original Ballot that was lost 300 years ago. Despite his injury received from Tokikaze's attacks, Licht still managed to defeat most of the Special Service spies there and even defeated general-rank members with his broken Ballot. Soon, Herz Vaalheit comes to the frontline and tells Licht to fight her. Although Licht said he doesn't want to fight Herz due to the fact she's a girl, the way she moves surprised him as she can moves as fast as Jail. Licht then captured Herz and tried to use her as a hostage to convince the Special Service to bring his original Ballot back, before it was interrupted by Mizuka went berserked once again. When he saw Mizuka, Licht asked her that how many drugs she want to took until she's satisfied and Mizuka responds with her love those drugs so much. Licht tried his best to blocks Mizuka's bullets but his injury doesn't allow it. After Licht's face was injured by the bullet, Lyne told him to retreat to recover his injury but he said that they can't as this is the best chance for them to invade the Special Service's bases, since majority of them were too busying to deal with Tokikaze's invasion at a moment and he's worrying at Hina might be in danger.

Soon, an airplane appeared behind Licht and he saw Hina landing from the sky. Upon the landing, Hina kisses Licht which shocks him a lot and then fainted. After everyone left the Illusionary City, Licht asks Hina that if Tokikaze done something awful at her and she said he didn't do that. Hina said that Tokikaze insisted to fight against Licht so that the children from the Abyss can fill their stomach, since Tokikaze doesn't believe that both lands can be saved. Licht then laughed as he realized that Tokikaze's persnality still haven't change yet after all these years. Licht said that in order to not let any more people suffering, he must have to regain his original Ballot so that he can regain his full strength to save people. Soon, Pelmo informs Licht that some people wants to see him, which revealed to be Herz and her henchmen. Licht were worried at Hina and the others as he's the only one who can fight at a moment. However, Herz stated that she came here not to fight but to invite Licht back to the Special Service in order to stop Tokikaze.

Once the Special Service kneel down, Licht wondered if their mind had gone crazy and asks them if they even consider of what will happen if he regained his original Ballot. Herz stated that she knew the risk of their action but they had to put their ego aside, in order to stop Tokikaze from keep invading the Althea and re-approve the permanent ban of nuclear weapons with the help from Hina's Ballot. While Nana doesn't believe what Herz said, Licht accepted their offer and claimed that she isn't the kind of person that would lie.

After Herz brought Licht and his groups to their headquarters, she asked Licht if he can shake hand with her. Herz stated that she have read Licht's history when he's part of Special Service during 300 years ago, she was impressed at how he took care the battle all by himself and how he hiding his face on a mask to not let other people worry at him. Herz also said that Licht was the hero she and other Special Service members admired. Soon, Licht shakes hand with Herz while told her that he haven't wash his hands from the toilet earlier. Herz then said that she will never taking a bath after this, although Lyne said that she should take a bath. After she brought Licht into the medical room, Herz brought the Special Service uniform to him. Few hours later, along with other Special Service members, was standing in outside their base and giving Licht his original Ballot back.

While coming out from the changing room, Licht noticed that his rank on his uniform is higher than the rest of Special Service members around him. Herz stated since it was Licht rejoined the group, they decided to promoted him into much higher rank than he was once before. Soon, Herz called Licht as the Colonel General and the entire Special Service saluted at him, she stated the forces was prepared to help him to stop Tokikaze. At this moment, Licht realized that the current members of Specail Service really wasn't as bad as they were in the past. Nana cried and said that she's glad that people finally understood how much pains Licht had went through in those 300 years and the fact they're now willing to help him. Soon, Licht make a personal request to the Special Service, that everyone who wants to follow him will not allow to killing people again and they're not allowed to do any harm at Tokikaze, who is his one and only family member that's still alive.

When Tokikaze checking how many spies of the Special Service remain, he noticed the Althing was show up, only to discovered that Licht is in charge with the Althing. Tokikaze was shocked and angered at Licht wearing Special Service uniform and helping them. During the Athing, Licht said that all Tokikaze is doing now is only repeating the abandoning war. Tokikaze, at first, doesn't wants to listen Licht's words, but after he pointed out that will the Class A really happy at this or not, Tokikaze changed his mind and supports Licht's suggestion of abandon the nuclear weapons. As Tokikaze is thinking about his decision, Licht overheard Hina's voice who told him not to approve the ban. While everyone doesn't know what's going on, after hearing Hina's explanation through secretly, he realized there's a traitor among his group and soon found out it was Nikola tries to plan something. This only lead to the victory of hidden faction, White Special Service, and the second betray. As Licht attacks Nikola, his Ballot dissipated as it was fake and cried for being tricked.

After Licht's Ballot had dissipated, White Special Service reveals that they're Schmelman's personal soldiers, their purpose is to eliminate their fellow allies who wasn't loyal or doesn't proven any useful to their master. Their mission this time was to convince Licht to return to the Special Service, trick him and the defectors that they would help him to stop Tokikaze, while using this chance to reapprove the permanent ban of nuclear weapons for them. After the White Special Service revealed that this order was sent by the seventh Baron, Licht immediacy looked at Pele since he knew he was a spy all alone, while claiming that Pele is Lyne's friend and he would never betray her.

After Pele revealed his true identity being Gespenst Zerlegen the Piece Baron, Tokikaze started worrying at Licht and wonders what's happening, he stated this is all caused by the seventh baron. Before Tokikaze could say something, the communication was turned off as the White Special Service also captured Erin and the children. When Gespenst was about to kill Lyne, she was saved by Licht while being angered at his betrayal. As Licht attacks Gespenst, he noticed that Gespenst suddenly "disappeared" in front of him, only to be punched by him instead. Licht tried his best to find Gespenst but he couldn't able to keep up with his speed, as Gespenst constantly attacking in his blindspot after reading his thoughts and learning his weaknesses. Soon, Licht was paralyzed and defeated by Gepenst's attack due to him targeted at his weak spot.

When the "Class A" appeared in front of Licht, he realized that they aren't the real Class A but clones and cried. Licht then attempt to kill Eins, Saki's clone, for trying to mess with Herz. However, Eins manipulates Licht by imitating Saki's personality and stabs his stomach. After being stabbed, Licht angrily said that he won't forgive the Special Service for manipulated him several times and wanted them to go to hell with him. However, before he could do so, he was stopped by Darle and Riguel, who told him that he must live for his precious friends or else their hope would be vanished together with him. Darle explains Licht about Herz's past that her parents died when she's still a child and that the fact her count stand for the number of times she wants to die, which broke Licht's heart for Herz's tragic past. After Licht were calmed down, he and the others immediacy left the base and escapes, while Darle and Riguel will try their best to hold the clones off before they were able to reach them.

Later, after he learned that Gespenst never betray him and regained his original Ballot, he immediacy went to assist Taketora to fight against the clones of Class A.

As soon as Licht took Sieben down, Taketora took his gun and tried to kill her, but Licht stops him for doing so. This caused Taketora furious at this and blaming him for keeping Mizuka train in the school, and Licht replies that if she leaves the school, not only she would never becomes the Red Baron but she would also died somewhere in Japan. Licht also stated it's better for Mizuka staying onside the school back then, because Taketora will always protect her. Taketora felt annoyed and stated he really can't stand him even after 300 years has passed, Licht said he actually like him too and Taketora told him to shut up.

After Taketora talked with Mizuka, he told Licht to active his bloodlust genes to increases his count, and that he will also actives his bloodlust genes too. Licht worries at him because Taketora's bloodlust genes could kill him, Taketora explains that bloodlust won't kills him due to he no longer have his regret anymore.

Before Licht deal the finishing blow, he stated that while he do angered at the clones being created, at the same time, he's also glad at seeing them as well, as this would be the perfect chance for him to finally move on from the past and accept the fact he can no longer meet original Class A again. Then, Taketora and Licht defeated the clones. After they defeated the clones, Taketora said the clones are like the rookies who uses the tanks for battle.

     He explains that while the clones have high counts, they're inexperienced when comes to war which caused them lose. Taketora also explains if they're fight against the actual Class A students, he and Licht will be the one who being defeated. Then, Taketora was annoyed at the fact Licht didn't kill the clones, and he replies they're the "Non-Killing Army" so therefore killing is forbidden. Soon, Taketora stated he will temporary joins the "Non-Killing Army" and help him to fight against the White Special Service.
