Agari begins her match Kiruka, initially struggling against her seemingly impregnable wall of defense. However, Agari manages to bring out her forehand smash, which she had been practising since her match against Koyori, managing to score against Kiruka and earn a spot on the team roster. Feeling that she can experience more heart-punding excitement if she goes to the Nationals, Koyuri steps up to face Kiruka, who also feels excitement from her match, and also manages to win a spot on the roster alongside Agari and the other top ranked players. Afterwards, as Agari points out that Kiruka wasn't even using her full strength and can shine further in doubles matches, Kiruka sets up a practice against Mozuyama Junior High.
