Tao — a black panther — accidentally injures another student. After Legoshi confronts them, the killer thinks back on how and why they murdered Tem.

After Pina makes it clear he won't be intimidated by Riz, Legoshi gets into a bloody bare-knuckled fight with the bear.

To grow stronger for his New Year's Day confrontation with Riz, Legoshi tries ingesting a moth larva and has an intense hallucination.

Legoshi is shocked when he meets Louis in the Black Market district. At school, he's disgusted to hear Riz say he'll visit Kibi in the hospital.

Legoshi is attacked by a powerful carnivore. As Louis earns the trust of the Shishi-Gumi, he loses his own health and peace of mind.

After clapping a muzzle on Legoshi, Gohin orders him to capture a beast in the throes of a flesh addiction. Juno ends up spending some time with Haru.

Rokume, a giant rattlesnake claiming to be the only security guard in the school, approaches Legoshi and asks him to track down the murderer.

After taking a drastic step against the Shishi-Gumi, Louis faces an impossible choice. The drama club gets a new, very confident member.

Louis wants to officially quit school to make a break with his past, but his father refuses to allow it. Haru and Legoshi talk things out.

While attending school during the day, Legoshi spends his nights in intense training sessions with Gohin.

Things are somewhat calm again, but with Tem's murder unsolved and Louis missing, the school is filled with rumors of hauntings and strange occurrences.

While getting pummeled by Riz, Legoshi realizes that they're not so different: he could easily have succumbed to his carnivorous instincts, too.
