Saki and her friends in Group 1 take part in a game tournament where each group must control small clay dolls pushing a large ball with their Cantus power. Her team defeats several opponents until the final match when Manabu Katayama of the opposing team breaks the rules in a violation of the Code of Virtue, ending the match in a draw. Later that day, the children find a Queerat in trouble and Saki decides to save it, using her Cantus powers without permission. After the tournament, Manabu Katayama's name is removed from the list of students and he is never seen again.
