The Next Day, on the 11th of August, 2095, the Ninth Day of the Nine Schools Competition

It was cloudy outside, Miyuki, Honoka, and Shizuku went out for a walk

"In this weather... it'll be easier to see the holograms in midair during your Mirage Bat Final, Miyuki." Honoka said, "How lucky is that?" she asked

"Kobayakawa-senpai's playing, too, so I don't think Miyuki's nervous at all." Shizuku said

"That's not true." Miyuki asked, "It's a lot of pressure just knowing I'm filling in the First High's ace, Watanabe-senpai." she said

"But you're going to be just fine, Miyuki!" Honoka said, "After all, you have Tatsuya on your side!" she said causing Miyuki to giggle

"Oh, that... Well, of course that's true, but..." Miyuki said

Then they sit by the water fountain

"There are only two days left until the Nine Schools Competition is over." Honoka said

"Today's Mirage Bat and tomorrow's Monolith Code..." Miyuki said, "If we win either one, it will seal First High's overall victory." she said

"You don't have to worry about the school." Shizuku said, "Just focus on your match." she said

"Thanks, Shizuku, but I can't afford to do that." Miyuki said

"What?" Shizuku asked

"We were able to get this far, thanks to you and Honoka and all the efforts of the First High team." Miyuki said, "So, I have to live up to all that in my own match." she said to which Honoka and Shizuku smiled 'All grades will be competing in the Mirage Bat Official Event.' she thought, 'Isshiki, I have no intention of losing, either!' she thought, 'I'm going to go all out to lead First High to victory!' she thought

Meanwhile, at the Hotel roof

Airi is talking to someone on her phone

"Yes. You don't have to tell me." Airi said, "Goodbye." she said then end the close

"That must be hard." Saho said, "Having all those expectations to fulfill." she said

"Mizuo-senpai..." Airi said

"That was from the Isshiki Family, right?" Saho asked

"I can never hide anything from you." Airi said

"Well, we've known each other long enough." Saho said

"They see Ichijou's loss yesterday as a prime chance to show our clout as another One family." Airi said

"A power struggle between clans at a time like this?" Saho asked, "The Nine Schools Competition is such a breeze that you can win it with that on your mind." she said

"I feel terrible for my mother, who came to Japan with so many dreams." Airi said then touch her bow "But that's precisely why I want to win." she said, "Both for my mother's sake... and above all, for my own sake!" she said

"I see." Saho said, "Then, just as we promised..." she said

"The Mirage Bat Official Event will end... with our one-two finish!" Airi said raising her fist then Saho did the same and they fist bump
