So I wanna bring this up, since we probably need to have some attachment to the main, canon story.
For those who don't know the story, here's the basic summary:
Mikumo Osamu met Kuga Yuma, a person who came from the "other side", or in other words, the Neighborhood. He saved Osamu when he wasn't able to take down a Bamster (he was still a C-Rank) with his Black Trigger, a memento of his father, and the only thing that kept his dying body alive. He came to this side with his "chaperone", Replica, an Autonomous Tropoi Trion Soldier made by Kuga Yugo, Yuma's deceased father. His father told him to go to Japan if he died, and that he had an acquaintance in Border, so that acquaintance would probably take care of him. Unfortunately, that acquaintance was Jin's late master, Mogami Soichi. I say late because Mogami died around 5 years ago, prior to the first Large-Scale Neighbor Invasion at Mikado City. Out of the 19 members of Old Border, he and 9 others died, with some, including him, becoming a Black Trigger, during the battle to help one of their Neighbor allies. For your information, Kuga Yugo was a member of the Old Border. He thought of the current Virtual Reality system and the Rank Wars, though it was apparent that he left just before Old Border got involved in their allied Neighbor defense war.
Since then, only a few remained at the Old Border, or now known as the Tamakoma Branch, which includes, but not limited to: Rindo Takumi (Director Branch), Konami Kirie, Jin Yuichi, and Kizaki Reiji. Usami Shiori & Karasuma Kyosuke transferred to Tamakoma 2 years prior to the main canon. Meanwhile, the ones that transferred to HQ includes Kido Masamune (Commander-in-Chief) and Shinoda Masafumi (HQ General Manager).
Note: 6 months prior, Mikumo tried to join Border, but got rejected. When he tried to sneak inside to the base through the Forbidden Emergence Zone, a Gate appeared and a Bamster came out of it. He got saved by Jin. According to Border rules, recruitment of agents are held once every three months. Considering that Yuma enlisted "officially" around December or January, Osamu probably joined during the third wave of recruitment after he got rejected on the second wave previously. This means that he's been a C-Rank trainee for a few months before the main story takes place.
And as for the reason why Mikumo joined Border? He joined Border so that he can protect Chika, in the stead of the missing brother, who disappeared after he managed to get his hands on a Trigger. Osamu then joined shortly after Chika's brother, Rinji's disappearance.
