WINNER OF THE 23RD ANNUAL DENGEKI NOVEL PRIZE, ONE OF THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS HONORS WITHIN THE LIGHT NOVEL SPHERE.

The San Magnolia Republic has long been under attack by unmanned weapons from the neighboring Empire. Against this onslaught, the Republic has also deployed similar weapons, narrowly avoiding great loss of life and impending disaster-or at least that's how it seemed. The truth is that it has never been possible to have no casualties. Young men and women drawn from the Republic's supposedly non-existent 86th district are organized into the "86 unit" and then ordered to pilot the "unmanned weapons" before heading to battle.

Volume 11 - 1st printing. "The Carbide Wolf!"

Story and art by Reki Kawahara.

The Acceleration Research Society, a mysterious organization maneuvering in secret, makes their headquarters at the top of Tokyo Midtown Tower, where the Archangel Metatron is enshrined. This completely invincible Legend-class Enemy guards the Society from all would-be attackers, and so the Seven Kings meet in order to devise some means to defeat the Enemy and the Acceleration Research Society along with it. The secret plan they come up with necessitates that Silver Crow gain a new ability, Theoretical Mirror. Although he's been ordered to obtain this ability - which can withstand even the instant death of Metatron's ultimate laser - abilities require action to trigger their manifestation, in contrast with the way Incarnate techniques are generated through the imagination. Thus, Haruyuki's powerful imagination won't help him this time!
