Ep. 2: Licht defeats soldiers and returns stolen Ballots while Hina declares her hatred
Centuries ago, the Waste War ended with the disappearance of superhuman warriors called Aces. Licht demonstrates his incredible speed, earning the title Ace of Flashing Strikes, as his defeated enemy count reaches 5700 while his rejection count stands at negative 999. He easily defeats soldiers, reducing their numbers and returning Hina’s stolen 440 Ballot, raising her total to 760. Licht then appears to steal Hina’s 10,000 Ballot, leaving her with a stuffed doll. Nana later reveals Licht hid the illegal Ballot in the doll to protect Hina from the soldiers. Devastated by the apparent theft, Hina tries to stop Licht, but when he ignores her, she shouts that she hates him. This declaration changes his rejection count to negative 1000. A soldier then reveals he is a spy, thanking Hina for helping him locate Licht and reporting his position to his masters.
