Synopsis[]
ZAIA Enterprise Japan has set out to acquire Hiden Intelligence. ZAIA's company president Gai brings another astonishing proposal to Aruto who is already in a state of great surprise. ZAIA is selling the next-generation interface "ZAIA Spec" that grants humanity thinking power on par with artificial intelligence. He suggests a contest between humans using this new interface and Hiden's Humagears to see who will surpass the other, and thus begins the "Five Jobs Contest." If Hiden is victorious, Gai says he will withdraw his bid for acquisition of the company. Just what will the outcome of this showdown be?
