As Haru, Takumu and Chiyu discuss what exactly Seiji is, Takumu deduces the ability Seiji used was Physical Burst, which accelerates the user's consciousness, allowing them to react quicker. As Kuroyukihime heads off on her school trip, Haru and Takumu decide to investigate Seiji in an attempt to get some proof of him being a Burst Linker. However, Seiji throws Haru off and uses a visual mask to lead him to the girls' shower room, where Chiyu is forced to hide him. The next day, Haru is confronted by Seiji, who wants to blackmail him into giving him more Burst Points. Chiyu stands up for Haru, but Seiji once again gains the upper hand when he lets a hidden camera in the shower room be found. As Haru attempts to fight back, Seiji overwhelms him and forces him into a Brain Burst duel, where he reveals his avatar, Dusk Taker.

As they make their way to meet up with Yuniko, Haru explains to Takumu how Seiji had set him and Chiyo up. After hearing about their situation, Yuniko agrees to teach Haru and Takumu about the incarnate system, explaining the different skills that can be performed with them. As the type of skills an avatar can learn depends on the user's personal traumas, Takumu explains how he was bullied in elementary school, even leading to getting a scar, which gave Cyan Pile the weapons it has. As Yuniko begins training Takumu, Haru is joined by Yuniko's ally, Blood Leopard, who takes him to Akihabara to investigate how Seiji hides from the matching lists. They arrive at the Akihabara Battle Grounds, a fighting arena for Burst Linkers which is also having troubles with an unlisted Burst Linker called Rust Jigsaw.
