Wataru leaps from his blimp to speak to Hokuto. From the roof of the auditorium, Switch reminisce about the past and their involvement in it. A year ago, Tsumugi runs into Eichi and Keito arguing, and the former accompanies him to check the books in the library, speaking to Tsumugi about the school's state along the way. Eichi reveals his plan to form the Three Oddballs, which is amended into the Five Oddballs, and asks Tsumugi to suggest the other two members before leaving school for the day. Eichi, enthralled by Wataru's rooftop performance, vows to become closer to him, no matter what he has to do. After Tsumugi receives the secret room key from Rei, he reunites with Natsume. As Tsumugi watches the Five Oddballs become more known around the academy, he sees people become spiteful towards them and questions Eichi on whether it was an effective plan. Eichi invites Tsumugi to join his unit along with the other candidates that Tsumugi gathered.
