The second selection reaches its reckoning as Isagi's rematch with Rin runs out of time. This is the volume for readers following that challenge toward its result and the next selection. Its particular attraction is an argument about what a player can control, not simply another measurement of skill. Buy it with the rematch already in view: the consequences depend on the rivalry and the decisions that brought Isagi to these closing seconds.

Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.

Rin delivers the decisive blow after Isagi constructs a promising play, leaving apparent bad luck for Ego to explain. That is an effective limit to place on a series so interested in self-improvement. A player can make better decisions without acquiring ownership of everything that happens next. The volume closes the second selection's immediate contest while turning its result into a lesson for the advancing players. Its value is the refusal to let preparation and outcome become synonyms. Ego's explanation belongs beside the defeat that prompts it; detached from that result, it would be far easier to mistake for generic advice.
