BUILD-DIVIDE

Neo Kyoto is a city with an AR infrastructure and ruled by the King but is also a world where the social and economic status of a person is determined solely by their skills in a game called Build-Divide. One day, Teruto Kurabe is wandering around the city with a piece of bread in his hand, and discovers a girl named Sakura Banka who is being attacked by a thug, so he uses the power of a mysterious card in his possession to save her. Witnessing his powers, Sakura speculates that Teruto must be highly skilled in Build-Divide and requests a battle with him. She has been searching for a powerful player that could help her win through the Rebuild Battles, which would allow her to challenge the King. However, Teruto has lost all his memories…

Teruto reluctantly accepts Sakura’s offer to take part in Rebuild Battles. While they are walking in the city together, she realizes that Teruto is wearing a uniform from Komoku Academy, which is the same school she is a student of. Guessing that Teruto must be a student of Komoku Academy, she takes him there and discovers that he is indeed enrolled at the school. For some reason, one of the only things that Teruto remembers is his strong desire to battle the King. They search the school grounds to find other Build-Divide players, but a second-year middle school student named Hiyori Munenashi suddenly appears before them and…

After battling Teruto, Hiyori pleads to become Teruto’s disciple, and follows Teruto and Sakura around. In order to obtain more chips, Teruto and the crew head to a place which is rumored to be where Build-Divide players gather. However, before they arrive at the location, they discover that someone has already defeated all of the players, so they are forced to search in another area. On their way there, Teruto is pulled into a crowd of protestors and gets separated from Sakura and Hiyori. In the midst of the confusion, a young man named Naomitsu Enjo appears and helps Teruto. Naomitsu Enjo expresses his anger towards the system of Neo Kyoto and…

Teruto starts "training" Hiyori by going to various bakeries in the city. They decide to go after a special croissant, but are attacked by a mysterious girl. Meanwhile, Sakura looks for a challenger for them, but feels she's being somehow deceived.

Teruto is down after his fight with Kikka and looks like he's given up on the fight against the King. While Teruto decides to go fishing, Sakura and Hiyoko go out for cake, with the idea of coming up with a plan to get him to regain his spirits.

Teruto finds Naomitsu unconscious in front of his tent. Along with Sakura and Hiyoko, they discover that he was attacked by a group commanded by Prof. Dairo Keisen, known as a teacher of cards. So they decide to go to his lab to find out more details.
