After Fuuka manages to place first in her qualifiers, the tournament placements are announced, in which Miura is scheduled to fight against Rinne during the first round. On the night before the tournament, Miura spends the night at Fuuka's place, stating her desire to once again fight Vivio before she graduates from the Under 15 category. As the tournament begins, both Vivio and Fuuka win their first round matches with swift knockouts. During the next match, Miura gets an early advantage against Rinne, knocking her down twice with an array of strikes and counter blows. However, as Miura brings out her Sword Draw technique in the hopes of getting a knockout blow, Vivio realises that following her defeat in the Summer Cup, Rinne has been strengthening her defense. Managing to withstand Miura's attacks, Rinne delivers a powerful blow that shatters Miura's ribs, forcing Nove to throw in the towel.
Fuuka e gli atleti della palestra Nakajima vengono a sapere dello sfortunato incidente di Rinne che ha rivelato il motivo della sua determinazione a essere la più forte.
