Ritsuka's teacher once again tries to go to Ritsuka's house to have a parent-teacher conference, but she runs into the next fighting pair from The Seven Moons: Zero. She tells them her full name and Zero use it to take control of her. Soubi walks by and saves her, but gets in a fight with Zero even though his power is at a quarter of what it usually is because Ritsuka is not with him. Soubi is having a hard time in the fight, and has one arm shackled, and thinks back to a lesson at the Fighter school when he learns that Zero is a man-made pair that can't feel pain.
