Turbo Granny coaches Okarun on combat rhythm inside a school music room, where a tagalong Aira joins in and the trio is set upon by six ghostly portraits hurling exploding notes.
Summary
Turbo Granny leads Okarun into a school she intends to use as a training ground for handling her power. Aira reveals herself and demands to know why the two are breaking in. Once all three are inside, she learns of Okarun's drive to grow stronger and declares she wants the same. In a music room, Turbo Granny sits at the piano and explains that his real weakness is combat rhythm, the knack of packing a full set of actions into a single beat.
Key Events
She points to the Evil Eye and to Aira in her Acrobatic Silky form as fighters who pull this off with ease, noting they can switch four times per beat while Okarun manages only twice. Their lesson is interrupted when six spectral Music Room Portraits appear, one of them rankled by Turbo Granny's clumsy playing. As the group moves to leave, she pins the blame on Okarun and Aira.
Notes
Cornered, Okarun and Aira are forced to fend off the portraits, who unleash volleys of exploding musical notes and rest symbols meant to freeze them in place. The clash is the start of the battle billed as Okarun, Aira Shiratori and Turbo Granny versus the Music Room Portraits. The chapter is in Volume 7 and split between Episode 19 and Episode 20.
