Tatsuya, Leo, and Mikihiko are chosen to compete in the Monolith Code rookie event as replacements when Morisaki and his team members are injured. Miyuki fears that Tatsuya and his team might also become targets of sabotage. To show their gratitude for all the hard work that Tatsuya has done for them as an engineer in the rookie events, Honoka and the other freshmen girls do everything they can to protect him by checking the Monolith Code stage and inspecting the venue. With Miyuki’s help, the competition goes smoothly and a team member is able to notice an abnormality on stage.
If I'm their new target,
then I'll just have to thwart them myself.
في حال كنت هدفهم الجديد، فعندئذ سأضطر 
.إلى إحباطهم بنفسي
Wenn ich für sie zur Zielscheibe werde,
kann ich sie wenigstens selbst aufhalten.
Si el objetivo soy yo, entonces
podré detenerlos yo mismo.
Si yo soy su nuevo objetivo,
solo tengo que ser más listo que ellos.
Si je suis la cible, je n’aurai
qu’à gérer le problème moi-même.
Se eu me tornar o alvo,
eu mesmo poderei impedir.
