No matter how much you hit, this shield won't break.

To avenge our loss last time,

We've come up with the perfect strategy.

With a shield made from all our members' resources,

Its strength can't even be expressed numerically.

It's as strong as the bond between us all in Musashino Kyuuou Academy.

Come! See if you can break it...

Niina-chan is amazing!

She's completely trapped by Niina's strategy.

v(°◡°)

Can we make it if we hurry?

You mean the match between Kurojishi and Takamori?

Our next opponent will be decided.

We should go see.

Yeah.

Losing... Like this...

Kurojishi Sougo Academy Takamori Academy

Kurojishi won as expected.

Chikage-san.

You're right. We should be thinking about our next opponent.

Well, for now, well done, everyone!

What's wrong with you all?

Our next opponent is Takamori Academy.

We've lost to them once before.

So what? There's no use in being scared.

Takamori lost to Kurojishi anyway.

There will be a way.

You really suck at encouraging people.

What did you say?!

Takamori's representative will undoubtedly be Sugiura.

Miyuki, how did you feel when you fought her?

Sugiura, huh?

It just felt like she has no weakness.

It's like she has perfectly analyzed how we fight,

So as to completely beat us. That's how it felt like.

That's truly different from last year.

Before, instead of playing to win,

They were more attentive to their traditions and pride.

Umm.

Um, for the next match, please let me fight!

Going against the highly skilled Sugiura,

I guess Yuuka would be a good fit.

Reina-chan.

OK, then let's have Yuuka join the next match.

Thank you very much.

With that decided, we'll do our best to support you.

Feel free to tell us if there's something you need,

Oh, yeah, my weapon.

It feels kinda weird after Sieg-kun was gone.

What do you mean by weird?

It feels kind of floaty...

Or kind of pointy or sticky.

What are you on about?

I know what's wrong.

Really?

A new weapon.

Yuuka, let's make a new weapon!

A new weapon!

Why is that, Captain?

Why not you, Captain?

I've already explained that before.

I cannot accept this.

Loser's Match is a representative match.

You should be the one to join.

Union must be thinking the same thing,

And will send Sasaki Yuuka to counter me.

B-But...

This is necessary for us to win.

She lost to you before.

She must still be affected by her overclock being beaten be you.

Just by having you as her opponent

Is sure to give her a lot of pressure.

Use this.

This is?

Compared to the previous ones,

This has an enhanced numeric responsivity.

Just as when we dealt with her overclock,

This will surely be of help.

All right, you guys go back to practice.

OK.

Was that really all right?

Sasaki Yuuka is growing rapidly.

I want to boost Iida's confidence, by letting her beat Yuuka while she still can.

So that Takamori can win next year as well.

Then what about Fujimura Chikage?

She is a monster.

She understands deeply the true nature of Circlet Bout.

No. It's only because Fujimura Chikage is here,

That the system of Circlet Bout is complete.

That's how I feel.

But, Hiyori...

But no matter how strong she is, she'll be retiring after this year.

Next year, Takamori will beat Kurojishi and win.

For that, I'll do all that I can now.

I felt that after you've become Captain,

Our team has improved a lot.

But,

You don't have to take on everything yourself.

We will now use your Circlet to collect your activity data.

My data?

Why would you need that?

Because Sieg is not here.

Sieg didn't just give you advice,

He was constantly analyzing your condition and the battlefield,

And optimizing your weapon.

In order words, Sieg was adjusting to suit you.

I see, so that's how it is.

But that doesn't suit you anymore.

So we need a new weapon, tailor-made for you.

Tailored for me?

That sounds nice!

Push-up 1000 times, running 20 km, slope dash 100 times...

What are all these?!

You'll reduce unnecessary movements when tired, giving us more natural data.

So let's use this regimen to push your body to your limit.

My limit, huh.

Don't worry. It's easier than running away from us in the mountains.

OK, let's start running!

After that will be battle simulation.

We don't have much time.

O-OK.

Is everything else going all right?

Making a new weapon needs this many resources?

We don't have a choice.

Yuuka needs something that can replace Sieg.

I know.

But even if the Student Council approves this special expenditure,

Can we even get this many resources...

Use mine.

Wow.

How do you have so many?

Got them from games.

I'll also try asking my followers.

Perhaps I'll go ask people from other clubs.

All right.

The Student Council will also do what it can.

That's our Student Representative!

That's great!

I'm your Student Representative, Kuroda Reina.

I need help from everyone at St Union Academy.

Right now, the Circlet Bout Club needs a lot of resources.

Even the smallest bit helps.

We hope to get some resource from everyone.

Of course this will not be compulsory.

But please.

Please help us.

So that our ace can fight again.

We need help from all of you.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Great!

Amazing! I have to tell Yuuka.

She already knows.

Yuuka was watching.

Now she's working hard.

Next would be my job,

To prepare the best weapon for Yuuka.

That's amazing.

Everyone from Union.

And people from the town too.

So many people are cheering for me.

Even if I was alone back home...

Ah, the building may be run-down,

But they do have a neat bath.

Miyuki-chan?

It's not just me.

The bathroom was renovated couple years ago.

But they didn't have money to do the rest.

Reina-chan too! Why are you here?

A sleepover.

We obtained permission.

Niina, where's Ayumu?

She said she's working in her room.

She said she needs different patterns of battle data,

So whenever you have time tomorrow,

You'll be having mock battles with us.

Yuuka, you're not fighting alone.

We have already gone this far.

All that's left is winning, Yuuka.

OK.

We have enough resources.

Now is crunch time for me.

A sleepover is making me excited.

Now I can understand.

That I'm fighting with everyone's support.

Please watch over me, Sieg-kun.

I just can't improve the precision without Sieg.

Could this be Sieg's autonomous agent?

Today is the Princess Cup Losers' Match.

TIcket holders please enter directly.

Sorry for the wait, my guest.

I did not request a guide.

That's true, you don't need me anymore.

Aizawa-sensei.

It's been a while, Chikage-kun.

Where have you been?

And what is this? Why a guide?

You too, looking sharp in your uniform.

I-I rushed here after class, didn't have time...

Who do you think will win?

Sugiura has the upper hand, both in skill and in experience.

Yuuka's overclock has also been beaten.

Sugiura will probably win.

But that's not how you really think.

To Yuuka, normal analysis is useless.

And I'm more interested in how much she's grown,

After being defeated once.

Seems like my preparation was correct.

Don't tell me... The one who leaked overclock to Takamori...

It's been going well so far.

This is?

I gave this to Sugiura for today's match,

But they returned it.

An unexpected development.

I wonder how this will turn out.

What the hell is this?!

Why aren't you fighting Sasaki Yuuka?

Who did this?

Sugiura Hiyori vs Sasaki Yuuka

I did.

Yoshino-senpai?

Didn't you say that back then, Captain?

"This is not Circlet Bout!"

Senpai, what was that match?

Right from the beginning, there was no intention to win.

Is this how Takamori Academy fights?

Do you still call yourself an athlete?

Hiyori!

As long as Fujimura Chikage is here,

Takamori can't win.

I'm sure you're aware of that.

Some of our senpais have been scouted overseas.

It'll all be wasted if they force it and get injured.

No.

This is not Circlet Bout!

At the end, those who argued with you last year all left the team.

I understand that you feel responsible.

But the strongest in Takamori is not me.

It's you, Captain Sugiura.

Iida, you...

I think after you've become Captain,

We have improved a lot.

But,

Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.

Please go all out and fight, Captain.

Iida.

I want to witness it too.

As the final remaining senior.

To witness how our new team fights.

There's no time to get used to your weapon,

Can you still do it?

It'll be all right.

It's a weapon made with everyone's efforts.

Be careful.

Don't take it lightly before seeing through Sugiura's strategy.

OK.

With all that said,

Don't mind these little tricks, and just do you best!

OK.

All right, let's go!

Let's have a good match.

Haven't fought you since that time.

To be able to play Takamori's traditional 100 till the end,

You were the only one.

Thank you. I had a fun match.

I had fun too.

I wanted to have another fight.

With all I've got. That's how I felt.

To defeat you, to once again challenge Kurojishi with my team.

I won't lose. Everyone's watching me.

We shall now begin the Losers' Final.

Bout Start!

Shortened the blade to reduce its weight?

Considering Yuuka's agility, not a bad choice.

But this is boring.

A very boring conclusion.

What's with the excessive resources anyway?

It won't end just like this.

I see.

Using smaller weapons to gain more speed, huh?

But.

Such a light punch won't break through my defense!

Yuuka!

Damn. She really is fast.

She caught up to Yuuka's speed in no time.

It'd be great to just beat her with overclock,

But they must have something to counter that.

Could that be?

It really is reacting to Yuuka!

Hey, what's wrong?

There's still something we can do!

What? That's all you've got?

I thought you'd do something after standing back up.

Seems like I expected too much.

That's right! Come harder!

You can't be strong if you're afraid of losing.

Even after falling awfully,

Those who can stand back up are those who will become strong.

That may be so...

But it's not necessarily true.

Nani?

I couldn't have stood back up alone.

It's because of everyone precious to me,

That I have come this far.

You too, huh?

Then the more reason I can't lose to you!

Me too!

She'll control the pace if I just loosen for a moment.

My chance will definitely come.

More speed! More agility!

Right here!

Weapon damaged!

Yuuka!

My sword from everyone...

Now it's over for you!

I still haven't lost!

This is...

That's what Sieg left behind

For Yuuka.

Sieg-kun... I see...

I'm not fighting alone.

Here I come!

Two swords?

Is that the conclusion derived by the prototype?

As Yuuka constantly evolves during battle,

She also needs a weapon that grows with her!

Sieg left the key for this.

What's with this speed?

Can't fight with one, so add one more?

That's so naive.

Captain!

Amazing! Sugiura can't even land a single hit!

It's not just that.

She's barely managing to defend against Yuuka.

The new weapon has brought out Yuuka's strength.

Yes, Sieg is really amazing.

There's your chance, Yuuka!

Yuuka!

Yuuka!

Yuuka, let's go!

Yes!

Winner: Sasaki Yuuka.

St Union Academy to proceed to Grand Final.

Look. That's the final part,

For my best work – you,

To proceed to the next stage.

We've finally gotten this far, Niina.

Yeah.

Now I'm getting nervous.

I'm sure Yuuka can do it.

I guess.

She'll make a whole mess.

No, that's not good!

Next up, episode 11: Grand Final
