The next morning, Mishima and the other girls go to school together. Mishima tells the girls that she's sorry that she can't try harder to win the tournament, but she also tells them that the tournament is a new team and that it's time for them to trust the new team. She also tells Mishima that if he wants to change the tournament's rules, they'll have to make the tournament to the main one in January, and then the tournament will have to be played in January again. She says that if they want to win, they have to beat Hojo in the main tournament, and that's not going to happen, because the elite four are guarding against them. They're not worried about Mishima's health, though, because she says that yesterday she was worried about him and that he was "completely fit as a fiddle." Mishima asks Mishima if he's feeling any new pains, and Mishima says that he is. She then asks if Mishima is feeling any malaise, and he says that she is. He's fine, he says, and they plan to examine him the next day in case he has any new symptoms
