Kind of the middle of the road volume. Basically having Leno Ichikawa and Iharu Furuhashi work as a team to train to become stronger. They take down a monster but as training...then our main character trained...so this is a lot of training. Which doesn't make it nearly as fun or exciting. I will say the action still is great, flows fast, and very well paced but lacks the "OH NO" rush of the previous volumes. A 3 out of 5.
