Kuroda's pulling puts Hakone Academy in the lead as the competitors head towards the first day's finish line, but Sohoku's sprinter turned all-rounder Naruko Shoukichi shows off his strengths! By demonstrating a new special ability that allows him to go quickly even while racing uphill, he doesn't back down from the challenge. Told by Teshima to decide between themselves who will be the ace, Imaizumi and Naruko act more like rivals racing against each other than teammates working together, while Kuroda and Ashikiba demonstrate their battle-hardened coordination. Meanwhile, the shadow approaches from behind both teams...
I know it wasn't the official course,
but I'm glad to have ridden at the Inter-High.
War zwar kein Kurs,
No era el recorrido, pero me alegra
haber corrido en el Interescolar.

Je suis content d’avoir roulé ici,
même si c’était pas la vraie course.
So che non era il percorso ufficiale,
Fiquei feliz de ter pedalado no Intercolegial,
mesmo não sendo no trajeto oficial.
Понимаю, это не настоящий маршрут,
 но я рад был поучаствовать в межшкольных.
