Summary
Stella is seen training in the middle of the night, thinking to herself, confirming that she and Ikki have become lovers, however Ikki has yet to do anything with her in two weeks. Ikki is seen winning another qualification match without much effort.

Ikki is then seen in class being asked by girls to teach them swordsmanship, to which Ikki had agreed to do so, although to the jealousy of some of the guys in the class.

Ikki and Stella are seen in their room, where Stella compliments Ikki on his generosity to teach already skilled blazers swordsmanship. Stella had tried to ask Ikki if they could do something, however Ikki falls asleep before she is able to get the words out.

Ikki is then seen training the girl's inner core, along with Kagami who seems to only be taking notes. Ikki's training with the girls is then interrupted by five freshmen, who seem jealous of the attention that Ikki was getting, from the girls. Ikki, however, is able to quickly defeat the armed blazers, who quickly apologize for their actions as well as become Ikki's new students. Others join in the training as well, as they moved the training from in front of the school to a forest.

In the forest, while Ikki's students were training, Stella asked Ikki if he was thirsty hoping to give him some water. Ikki had replied yes to his thirst, but before Stella could give him anything, Shizuku hands him a drink instead, showing up suddenly. Shizuku, then volunteers to have sword practice with Ikki as well and then points out that Stella had two drinks behind her, to which she lies and says she brought them for herself, drinking while sobbing at the same time, although no one else notices. Stella offered to learn from Ikki as well but Ikki is hesitant to do so, causing Stella to leave angrily.

Along the way Stella runs into Nagi who gives her a game. Back in her room, Stella begins to play the game, which allows her to go out with a person who looks a lot like Ikki. While playing she expresses her wish to be with Ikki and do things with Ikki, just then Ikki comes in and invites Stella to the pool so she can help with tomorrow's training. Ikki then starts to explain why he was hesitant in training Stella in swordsmanship.

While on the bus to go to the pool, Stella remembers what Ikki said, saying that he could not teach her anything with her already sharpened sword as well he wanted her to surpass his imagination in her capabilities. Stella then looks at a sleeping Ikki, lovingly, alerting Kagami who had seen the gaze.

The group reaches the pool and begin their lung capacity training, while a girl with long black hair looks on from afar. Although not in the group, Stella also participates in the training by herself, focusing on her inner self. She is, however, interrupted by Kagami who reveals to have knowledge about Stella and Ikki's relationship. Kagami confirmed this, by tricking Stella into saying it herself. Stella then reveals that although she and him haven't done anything as lovers she would like to do something. Kagami then pushes Stella to do it herself, the opposite of Nagi's advice to Shizuku which was happening at the same time.

Ikki and Stella are then left alone under a fountain where they ended up bickering due to Stella's misunderstanding before they reconcile by revealing what they want to do with each other, which is kissing, as they kiss to reaffirm their relationship.

While on the bus, to go back to Hagun academy, Ikki and Stella both receive their next opponent messages at the same time, which are both members of the student council, Ikazuchi Saijou and Renren Tomaru. Meanwhile inside the Student Council Office, Saijou and Renren are seen preparing for their next fight against their relative opponents being very excited about their match-up.
