{{Nihongo|'''Battle Experience!'''|戦いの年季！|Tatakai no Nenki!}} is the fifth volume of ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]'' and the 16th volume of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' manga. It covers the second half of the "{{SA|SDC9}}" story arc, the "{{SA|SDC10}}" story arc and most of the "{{SA|SDC11}}" story arc.
==Summary==
'''Battle Apprentice!''', also known as '''Terror in India''' in the English version, is the fourteenth volume of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' manga. It is also the third volume of [[Part III: Stardust Crusaders]]. It covers the second half of the story arc [[The Emperor and the Hanged Man]], [[The Empress (story arc)]] and the beginning of [[Wheel of Fortune (story arc)]].
While [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]] and the others were crossing India to Egypt, [[Muhammad Avdol|Avdol]] was suddenly shot by a bullet sent from the assassin [[Hol Horse]]! [[Jean Pierre Polnareff|Polnareff]] manages to defeat his partner, [[J. Geil]]. While this is going on, something strange starts happening to [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]]'s arm...!
|Translation = People often say that prostitution is the world's oldest profession. Well, that's what I learned in history class at least. (For those who don't know what "prostitution" is, ask your father.)<br/>But is it really the oldest profession? I found an even older one! I can't prove it, but I bet it goes away back! That profession is the storyteller who tells scary stories. (To be continued in [[Volume 17]].)
