For the next contest, Sensei makes his way to the park to judge Miku’s and Kirin’s challenge, assuming that Miku will be the winner due to her excelling in sports, but, after remembering the first challenge, he also assumes Kirin has a trick up her sleeve to ensure her victory. After some smalltalk about the recent contest, Sensei asks what he needs to do in order to judge their contest, but Miku informs him that he won’t be needed since Karin is the judge.
After being informed that there will be three tests to determine a winner, the contest begins.
First is a speed test, which entails running one lap around the park. Miku easily wins due to Kirin not even trying to beat her.
Next is a test of strength in form of arm wrestling, which isn’t really an accurate way to test strength, but was apparently demanded by Uta. Kirin wins by breaking Miku’s concentration with a lick on her cheek, and while Miku demands a rematch due to cheating, both Sensei and Karin declare Kirin’s strategy as valid.
The final test is planking to test the girls’ endurance. Kirin tries to break Miku’s concentration again by attempting to embarrass her with inappropriate questions, but she gets too excited and looses focus herself, something Miku predicted and was working towards. She finishes her off by confirming one of her questions, and Kirin collapses, making Miku the overall winner.
While the contest is going on, the following interactions between the students take place:
Chika tries to convince Yumi to contribute to the war so they can get an easy point, but Yumi has no intention to do so, not wanting to share a room with Sensei, and with Io also not contributing, Yumi tells Chika to just accept the draw.
Rin and Otoha talk about their morning hangouts and upcoming challenge, until Tsuneyo asks Molly why she looks sad, but Molly claims she’s just tired.
With the contest over, Sensei informs Makoto and Uta about the result, with Makoto not being surprised about Miku winning, but is surprised on how she won. Uta already predicted this loss and takes solace in the fact that the next contest is more in their favor. The group makes their way to cafe.
