If Class D's leader gave up this base, they would take it over immediately.
And if Class D's leader showed up, they could confirm the other party's identity.
However.
"Yo, isn't this Dragon Boy?"
Walking toward them was a tall, heavily built man.
It was Rokosuke Kōenji.
He had beautiful muscles and red eyes.

The name field on Kōenji's Leader Card had been covered with tape.
And according to the rules, only the leader could use a Leader Card.
If someone who was not the leader used it, points would be deducted.

However.
Even if it was
