Sudou cannot stand it. He tells his classmates that Ayanokouji didn’t cheat. They shouldn’t conclude when Ayanokouji isn’t there. Kanji thinks Sudou wants to take Ayanokouji’s side. Sudou denies it. He says that Ayanokouji had a high probability of getting a perfect score. The boy points out that Ayanokouji’s rating is lower than his rating. What Sudou means is that Ayanokouji might have concealed his ability like Kouenji. Yousuke reminds Sudou that he needs to go to the club. Miyake leaves the classroom as well after Sudou left.
Ayanokouji runs into Chabashira in the hallway. She brings up that he’s famous. He thinks it’s a necessary mean even if he’s not happy. She wonders how he will explain it to his classmates. He’s going to handle it. She tells him that he should be prepared for being questioned.
Ayanokouji walks into the classroom. Yukimura is furious to ask Ayanokouji how he got a perfect score. He mentions Ichika and Sakayanagi didn’t get a perfect score. He’s the only one who did it throughout the school year. Horikita volunteers to explain it. She claims that she’s the only one who can answer Yukimura the question. She mentions she sat next to Ayanokouji after they enrolled in the school. She discovered that Ayanokouji was an excellent student.
But Yukimura remembers Ayanokouji got an average exam score every time. It was because Horikita asked the guy to conceal his ability. She did it to preserve combat effectiveness. It’s a secret weapon. But Yukimura doesn’t believe it. He thinks it would benefit the class if Ayanokouji got high scores at first. Horikita points out that outstanding students would be the targets of other classes. She’s not surprised that someone wanted to get rid of Ayanokouji. He learns that she thought Ayanokouji might be targeted. She reveals Ayanokouji encountered a risk of dropping out because of Sakayanagi’s strategy.
Yukimura wonders why the guy showed his skills at the point in time. Horikita says that the centripetal force of their class made rapid progress over the past year. They learned to do the right thing as well. If Ayanokouji is targeted right now, they can work together to protect him. So she decided to show his ability. Boosting their overall performance. Yukimura understands Horikita’s strategy. He wonders if Ayanokouji is just exceptionally good at math. She cannot give him the answer. She thinks Ayanokouji is a pain to other classes as long as they conceal the truth. It’s the best course of action, letting others think that the guy is an unknown entity. Yukimura guesses the people of other classes are surprised. It’s the inside story that Ayanokouji got a perfect score.
Outside the school building, Yukimura stops Ayanokouji. He blames him for not telling them the truth. He thinks he didn’t trust them. Ayanokouji understands Yukimura’s outrage. Because Yukimura helped Ayanokouji with his homework. Ayanokouji apologizes to Yukimura. Yukimura admits it to his friend that he’s still in anger. But he knows he’s not a bad person. Ayanokouji thanks Yukimura. Airi persuades Yukimura to shake hands with Ayanokouji. Haruka thinks it’s a good idea. She gets the two boys to shake hands. She offers to go to the mall together.
Ichinose and Kanzaki run into Ayanokouji at the mall. Ichinose asks Ayanokouji if he’s waiting for someone. He reveals he’s going to have dinner with his friend. She tells him that she has seen the exam result. She praises him. Kanzaki mentions Ayanokouji didn’t have an ability to get a perfect score, according to the OAA data last year. Ayanokouji reveals he concealed his ability after he had a talk with his classmate. Kanzaki realizes that Ayanokouji is hard to be dealt with. But Ichinose scolds the guy for saying so. She thinks every class should have their strategy. She reminds him that Ayanokouji isn’t their enemy. But he thinks Class 2-D is their enemy because the alliance has been dissolved. He admits that he lacks composure. He walks away.
Ichinose explains it to Ayanokouji that Kanzaki did it because the situation was dire. She mentions they were demoted to Class C. She knows she should let go of her innocence. He brings up that he said to her that she should forge ahead no matter what happens. There will be students who dislike her. The people who betray the class will appear. He wishes she will trust her partners. She will always fight for protecting her partners. She comforts him that she will protect her classmates. If someone has to disappear in the class, she thinks she will be the first one who disappears. He feels relieved after he heard her realization. But he disallows her to drop out of the school. She’s shy to tell him that she will make sure that she will stay in the school.
The next day, Sudou and Ayanokouji go to the school. Ayanokouji heard it from Yousuke that Sudou took his side. Sudou says that he just told those guys the fact. He wonders if it’s a secret that Ayanokouji is good at fighting. Ayanokouji pretends not to understand what Sudou said. Sudou grabs Ayanokouji’s arm. He knows he suppressed Hosen. He wonders how amazing he is. He thinks he should witness it with his eyes. Ayanokouji is surprised that Sudou isn’t angry that he concealed the secret. Sudou admits that he thought Ayanokouji wasn’t very considerate. But he will grow up with his ways. He learns that Ayanokouji isn’t dating Horikita. He feels relieved.
Ayanokouji meets Horikita outside the school building. He thanks her for helping him. She mentions the special exam that the student can get 20 million if he can make Ayanokouji drop out of the school. She wonders if the school approved the exam. He guesses someone put a bounty on him with the prize money. The person incited the first-year students to do so. She realizes that the person was Nagumo. He remembers he and the guy didn’t have any revenge. She points out that Nagumo cared for her brother. Her brother cared for him. She thinks it’s not surprising that the guy had mixed feelings like her. She decides to go to visit Nagumo. She wants to ask him if she can join the Student Council. She mentions Ayanokouji asked her to join the Student Council to watch Nagumo. She knows she shouldn’t just watch the guy. Ayanokouji mentions Horikita’s brother valued tradition. He and Nagumo’s ideas were different. Ayanokouji doesn’t judge who was right. He confesses it to Horikita that he wants to see how the guy will reform. She wonders why he asks her to join the Student Council since he just wants to watch and wait. If Nagumo heads in the wrong direction, someone should stop him. She cannot accept some of his words. But she wants to treat it as a win-win situation. She asks him to accompany her to the Student Council. If Nagumo was related to the bounty, they would see his reaction.
Ayanokouji and Horikita visit Nagumo. Horikita tells the president that she wants to join the Student Council. Nagumo doesn’t know the girl’s intention. So he doesn’t want to agree. She learns that he doesn’t welcome her. He asks her why she wants to join the Student Council at the juncture. She tells him that there was a rift between her and her brother. She enrolled in the school to break down the rift. But their relationship wasn’t changed. They didn’t talk a lot until her brother graduated.
Nagumo wonders if Horikita made up with her brother. She says that she did it. So she’s interested in the Student Council that her brother dedicated himself. Although she took a long detour, she wanted to take the path that her brother did. Nagumo figures it out that the girl wants to be a president. But Ichinose has been working hard for a year as a member. Nagumo reminds Horikita that she’s already a lap behind. But she thinks she can bridge the gap. He welcomes her to join the Student Council. He will be heartless to give tasks to her. She needs to prove her value. Nagumo invites Ayanokouji to join the Student Council as well. Ayanokouji rejects it. He thinks he doesn’t have the talent. Nagumo tells Ayanokouji that he will play with him. He asks him to expect it.
In Ayanokouji’s room, Ayanokouji is surprised that Kei made him a cup of coffee. She explains it to him that she did it because his hand was hurt. She asks him to take the duty. She brings up that it’s even harder to speak out that they’re dating after he got a perfect score. People will think she dated him because of the score. But he says that it’s not a bad thing.

She thinks he misunderstood her. She’s not his enemy. But he doesn’t believe her words. She figures it out that he doesn’t trust her because she helped Hosen force him to drop out. Kei asks Ichika to explain it to her. Ichika is surprised that Ayanokouji didn’t tell it to his girlfriend. So he didn’t leak the bounty 20 million.
Kei wants to know the bounty. Ichika tells Kei that she can ask her boyfriend about the details later. She thinks Ayanokouji knew the plan when they went shopping together.
