The tournament begins with Makoto's students facing each other due to some meddling behind the scenes. Jin squares off against Ilumgand Hopley, whom has a grudge against Makoto from before, but easily defeats him. In the finals, Jin faces Shifu, but she defeats him with ease. Behind the scenes, Ilumgand looks forward to the team matches before looking at some mysterious drugs he has hidden. Makoto is later called away to the Merchants Guild regarding his purchases and transportation of his goods. Makoto attempts to dissuade the guild leader, but he fails to do so and is forced to close shop if he does not pay almost all of his profits. Consulting his followers, Makoto comes to a decision on what to do with all in agreement.
