Detailed Summary
The trio are walking home from school. Out of nowhere, Yanagin tells the others that she had been wondering who was the strongest in their group. Habara seems worried by the question, but Ikushima is interested and proposes that they find out right then and there. The two drop their bags on the side of the road and begin warming up.

Habara tries to get them to drop the idea and says it doesn’t matter who the strongest is. The others, however, are adamant about continuing and taunt her saying she’s scared of losing. Ikushima then asks Yanagin what the rules are. Yanagin is about to say something, but is suddenly interrupted by Habara.

Almost innocuously, Habara asks them why they needed rules if they were having a 'battle royale'. Yanagin and Ikushima are startled by the question. They realise that what they had in mind was a fight in the spirit of martial arts, where rules were required to prevent injury or any other mishap. However, Habara had taken it to literally mean an all-out fight with no holds barred.

Afraid of this prospect, they frantically tell her that it was all a joke and that no fighting was going to happen. She heaves a sigh of relief, but the others notice her tossing away a large rock she was holding behind her back.
