Detailed Summary
At Central High, several students are gathered in front of a notice board, on which some exam results are displayed. Yanagin walks up behind Nago and congratulates her on securing the first position. Remarking that she herself was placed second, she adds that studying wasn’t really her strong suit and warns Nago not to get too happy. Nago says nothing, even as Yanagin crushes the juice pack she’s drinking from.

Taking Nago outside, she tells her that her true strength lay in karate, and challenges her to attack. Shortly, Nago deals Yanagin a blow to the stomach. It is so severe that Yanagin keels over and throws up. Struggling to speak, she almost compliments Nago on her strength, before checking herself and saying it didn’t hurt at all. With some difficulty, she says she’d actually quit karate in middle school, but then stops and heaves up some more. Turning around, she snarls that what she was really good at was ramen.

At a restaurant that offers extra large portions of ramen, the girls square off again, with the winner being the first to finish their jumbo bowl. Nago gulps down everything in a single go, shocking Yanagin who has barely started. Embarrassed and almost tearful, Yanagin tries to save face by claiming that it was all part of her 'master plan'.

Nago gives her an expressionless stare. She then asks Yanagin who she is, revealing that she hadn't known her identity all along. Yanagin, speechless, stares back with her mouth hanging open.
