Volume 5 of the award-winning light novel fan-fiction based on the popular "Cardfight!! Vanguard" series!
THE CIRCUIT OF VICTORY THAT OPENS THE FUTURE!
The long awaited summer vacation has finally begun, but the peaceful holiday Takanori was hoping for is dashed when Mikazuchi-sensei introduces him to one of the former Kings of GEN Academy, Saionji Yuuri. Despite only being four years older than him, Saionji has already graduated from Cambridge University with a Masters in Vanguard, and is currently studying a Doctorate at the University of Tokyo.
Part of her thesis revolves around bringing the world of card games and racing together, the two things she loves most, in an unprecedented project called Motor Future, or MF for short. This has led her to create a fully realised concept of "Riding Duels", where the winner is determined by whoever wins the race or cardfight first. To trial this system, Saionji is holding a Riding Duel tournament, and asks Mikazuchi-sensei to draft in some additional candidates via his connections.
He chooses two 1st Year students from GEN Academy: Minamoto Kumi, a racing prodigy from A Class who has a decorated history of repeated wins in the F4 Championship, and Takanori, who has never driven a car in his life before. To make sure he can participate, Minamoto must teach Takanori how to drive, and the pair head up to Gunma, along with Shigaisoshi Namie, to complete a hellish training course.
At the same time, Anjou Nozomi has been tasked by Mikazuchi-sensei with coaching Takanori in the Premium format as part of his preparation due to its reintroduction. However, things won't be easy for the duo, as a variety of challenging opponents are awaiting them on the track, including the cold Hazuki Hase, the honest Katagiri Shinichi, the distant Kishou Arashi, and even someone from Takanori's past- Aoyagi Kakeru.
