The players are divided into two groups for a fastest finger board quiz. Sasajima and Mari are in the first group, but Mari is flustered when she learns that Sasajima was once a member of Kaijou's quiz team. Does it have anything to do with why her brother quit quiz bowl? Her thoughts leave her unable to concentrate on the meet...

та ещё головная боль...
