The fires of vengeance burn on... With Arata's battle against his former employer now concluded, the situation has finally begun to stabilize. During this time, after careful deliberation, he decides to accept Miss Li's request and begins recruiting child soldiers from Thailand's slums. However, unbeknownst to Arata, while his rival company may have decided to back out for now, there are still those within it who hold a personal grudge against him, and they won't rest until they've had their revenge.

Good Friends, Better Enemies... Arata believed his travails in Thailand were over, but Kishimoto had other plans. The moment Arata let his guard down, his former colleague struck, kidnapping Hakim and Sophie. For the first time, Arata has to contend with the possibility that someone under his command might die. Will he crack or will he be able to operate effectively under such pressure?

The final push... Once a former NEET, Arata Ryouta is known worldwide as the legendary mercenary leading a tiny platoon of child soldiers against the Chinese army. With only 3,000 troops under his command, he's succeeded in multiple campaigns against a force tenfold his own. Respected by his allies and reviled by his enemies, Arata has one last marginal operation to complete before his story comes to a close.

Arata had come to accept the weight of his life-or-death decisions, but with his own life on the line for once, will he be able to keep his cool under fire? Even as he faces this new challenge, his mastery of battlefield tactics has caught the attention of a mysterious group of combatants in this endless war. Will he live to fight another day?

Going on the Offensive... With the Chinese Army presenting an overwhelming difference in firepower to his own forces, Arata employs guerrilla tactics to successfully take out a key refueling base. However, this enrages the Chinese Army more than expected, leading to an air strike against Camp Hakim in retaliation. With the Burmese Army still disorganized and his sponsors unwilling to lend further aid, the only person Arata can rely on to get them out of this mess is himself.

Ryouta Arata is an otaku who's just lost his job after the dissolution of his company. Unwilling to return to his old NEET ways, he applies online to a private military security company, thinking the benefits to be promising. After what appears to be a baffling test, he's assigned to be an "operator of operators" and begins his training in a foreign country. Little does he know, the life of a private mercenary is far more grueling than he could have ever imagined!

An Ill-Fated Encounter... Driven insane by the loss of his daughter and the death of Hakim, Kishimoto turned on his coworker and killed him in cold blood. After this, he used Sophie to goad Arata into a final showdown at a park in Thailand. From training camp comrades to bitter adversaries, how will this confrontation end as their two paths collide?

This paper analyzes the predictability of currency crises. The paper evaluates three models for predicting currency crises that were proposed before 1997. Two of the models failed to provide useful forecasts. One model provides forecasts that are somewhat informative though still not reliable. Plausible modifications to this model improve its performance, providing some hope that future models may do better. The study suggests, though, that although forecasting models may help indicate vulnerability to crises, the predictive power of even the best of them may be limited.
