Summary

As the chapter begins, it's a week after the end of the selection matches, and Hagun's team for the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, has been decided. In his head, Ikki notes that the scandal of Ikki's and Stella's relationship has ended, and Ikki's reputation is cleared. Stella's father has also decided to wait for Ikki to arrive to Vermillion after the Festival, and Akaza has lost his position in the Ethics Committee. The representatives are then announced, being Stella Vermillion, Kanata Totokubara, Kikyo Hagure, Botan Hagure, Nagi Arisuin (who is absent) and Ikki Kurogane. Kurono then announces the captain of Team Hagun, who is Ikki. This surprises Ikki, but Kurono explains that he deserves the position, having defeated front runners like Shizuya Kirihara, Renren Tomaru and Touka Toudou. Touka herself comes to give Ikki the Hagun flag, which the captain will carry. Initially Ikki doesn't know what to say to Touka, but then decides to thank her. Touka however interrupts Ikki, and tells him that Ikki carries the hopes of those that he has defeated, and the flag represents all those who wanted to become representatives. Ikki understands, and accepts the flag and his position, declaring that he will carry everyone's hopes. Ikki the tells Stella, that after a long time of being unknown, it's nice to be finally recognized.

Nagi is then seen, wearing a dark coat, calling the "Pierrot". Hearing Hagun's representatives, "Pierrot" is surprised that people like Renren, Shizuku and Touka were defeated. Nagi marks that they simply had poor luck in the lottery of the selection battles. "Pierrot" though says that luck is also a kind of strength, which those people lacked. Nagi comments that even though Shizuku lost, they can still kill her whenever they want to. "Pierrot" then claims that the preparations for the Festival are complete. He says that everyone thinks that the actors are now on the stage, but the lead actor are yet to show themselves, and it's time for their organization to show themselves. All of the members of this organization are then shown, with all of them being students from other schools. These includes "Pierrot", whose real name is Reisen Hiraga, Yui Tatara, Amane Shinomiya, Sara Bloodlily, Rinna Kazamatsuri, Ouma Kurogane and Nagi himself. Hiraga then announces that the lead role in the Festival belongs to the Akatsuki.
