After being challenged by Tokyo Sport University's Sakaki, Kakeru and the other residents of Chikusei-so have grown closer.
As they celebrate the renewal of their resolve, King comes home wearing a suit for a change.
Meanwhile, Kakeru voices his objections to participating in a track meet so soon.
What point is there in forcing the amateurish residents to face reality?
In response to Kakeru, Haiji asks his own question.
Kakeru's doubts remain unresolved as Haiji begins holding proper practices.
However, King refuses to participate because he's busy looking for a job...
Under a cloud of anxiety, their proper training begins.
For just a moment, I feel perfectly clean.
للحظة، أشعر بطهارة تامة
Für einen Moment
fühle ich mich komplett rein.
Por un momento, me siento impecable.
Por un momento, me siento impecable.
Je peux me sentir pur
rien qu’un instant.
E, solo per un momento,
 sentirmi perfettamente pulito.
Por um momento, posso
me sentir limpo e livre.
И в этот миг я словно очищаюсь.
