Mission 32

In the park with Anya and Bond, Yor drifts into thought over the tournament Loid is attending and whether Fiona is at his side. Her grip crushes down on the tennis ball as she contemplates doing anything necessary to avoid returning to her old solitary life, then shakes the darkness off. Anya, having read everything, blurts reassurance and covers her slip by promising that Loid will come home with the trophy.

At Campbelldon, Team Foney faces the Bolic Brothers, freshly inflated by locker-room injections of Oso-R. Fiona notes that the tournament permits everything from doctored rackets to drugs. After a gambler threatens the brothers over his life savings, Catan tears a hole in the wire fencing bare-handed, sending spectators stampeding to bet on them. The brothers then make the mistake of taunting Loid with diaper jokes; Fiona snaps, batters both men with pinpoint smashes until they lie covered in ball-shaped welts, and blandly explains that her hand slipped. Cavi Campbell muses about returning Oso-R to research and development.

The pair advance to the finals, Fiona showing off with flashy plays along the way. In the waiting room they discuss their last opponents, Cavi's teenage children Carrol and Kim, trained since early childhood and backed by a father who controls the venue. When Fiona grows cocky, Loid grabs her bruised wrist and orders her to rein herself in, warning that overconfidence has put plenty of his comrades in graves. She relishes his concern, then notices a tingling in her fingers: colorless, odorless gas is seeping through the vent. Realizing this explains why past finalists seemed off their game, and finding the door locked from outside, the two communicate in Morse code and choose to feign being caught while minimizing what they inhale.

The final begins with Cavi staking ten million on his own children and gloating over his gassed opponents. Carrol and Kim, told they no longer need to keep the score respectable, unveil a jet-boosted racket and an extending whip racket, taking the first set while the crowd jeers at the Foneys. Loid feels his strength returning as the second set opens, and the agents claw back a point, then three straight games. The Campbells respond with the court itself: a staffer at a control panel drops one of the 36 floor tiles under Fiona's plant foot, sending her return out of bounds. Loid, unbothered, declares that cheap gimmicks will not beat him, and Fiona, seeing the Twilight she fell for, vows they will crush the siblings together.

Yor's park scene reveals how deeply Fiona's visit unsettled her and how much the family now anchors her. Fiona demolishes the drugged Bolic Brothers after they insult Loid. The finalists survive a gas trap in the waiting room by faking exposure, then face the Campbell siblings, whose gadget rackets and sinking floor tiles hand them the first set before Loid and Fiona rally.

Mission 32 spans 29 pages in Volume 6, released September 7, 2020, within the Campbelldon Tennis Arc and adapted in Episode 22. Yor, Anya, Bond, Loid, and Fiona share the cover, and both Campbell siblings debut.

Scoreboard spellings of the brothers' surname diverge between editions, wavering between Bolic and Boric across the digital release and Volume 6. Daybreak makes a background cameo on page 10, sprawled on the floor with a table tennis racket after losing to Nightfall.
