Whilst learning how LRIG's are capable of detecting other Selectors, Ruko and Yuzuki learn from Hanayo that model Akira Aoi is one such Selector. As they try to approach her at school, another Selector by the name of Hitoe Uemura challenges Akira to a WIXOSS battle instead, using their LRIGs Midoriko and Piruluk. Although Hitoe gets off to a good start, Akira, who reveals her true nature, overwhelms Hitoe by using her deck's ability to destroy her cards. After receiving further mental attacks from Akira, who manages to read that her wish is to make friends, Hitoe loses all will to fight and is defeated by Akira. The next day, as Ruko and Yuzuki attempt to avoid a confrontation with Akira, they spot Kazuki together with a card shopkeeper, Momoka, and assume they are dating, which causes Yuzuki to become upset and lash out at Ruko before running off. As Ruko is approached by Hitoe to request a battle, Akira appears before Yuzuki and challenges her to a battle.
