As a fashion model contest is held for the Beauty Class first-years, Koharu befriends her classmate, Mahiru Kasumi. Koharu becomes hesitant to enter the audition, feeling she is lacking compared to everyone else, but Yume and Rola encourage her to have more confidence in herself. Wanting to push her limits, Koharu starts practising balancing a large water bottle across a balance beam. Her practise pays off, as she is able to give a confident walk during the fashion show and even turn an accident into a pose. Although Mahiru wins first place, Koharu is given a special Judge's Choice award for the potential she demonstrated.
