Reeling from the discovery of X's identity, Sakamoto plots to infiltrate his old assassin school for intel, but first he and Shin must survive a lethal entrance exam that turns their passenger flight into an all-out battlefield.
Summary
Slur's raid leaves the JAA's Kanto branch in ruins, and though his crew pulls back before Takamura's overwhelming power, they are already plotting their next move. Sakamoto reels at the discovery that the X he has hunted is Uzuki, a former classmate from his days at the JCC. Following Hyo's advice, he resolves to dig through the school's data bank for further clues. He and Shin board a plane to sit the JCC transfer examination, unaware the test has already begun.
Key Events
The episode introduces exam figures Mizuno, Jay Erk, Akira Akao, and Mafuyu Seba. In the warehouse hideout, Kashima patches up Gaku while Slur reflects on his failed assault and vows not to strike the other branches. Aboard the plane, proctor Mizuno announces the first round: candidates must find the examiners hidden among them and take their engraved bullets, while weapons are handed out at random. The cabin erupts into a fight for survival, with Shin squaring off against the germ-averse Mafuyu.
Notes
The adaptation garnishes the aftermath with graphics charting the JAA's plunging stock and canceled contracts, plus floaters hauling away the dead. It stretches the exam chaos with extra kills, an applicant electrocuted by Mizuno, and a lengthened brawl between Shin and Mafuyu, while trimming a cameo and a few internal thoughts from the source. Have a Nice Flight adapts chapters 56 through 58, aired on August 18, 2025, and belongs to the JCC Transfer Exams Arc under the themes Method and Dandelion.
