The next morning, the two men discuss the outcome of the wrestling match. The first says that he is beginning to think that he may not win, but the second says that it is surprising that he was able to avoid defeat. He invites her to his tea party after the school festival ends, and the two discuss the words of the hero, who is also known as Negi-Bozu. The hero says that his hand has been "forced" by the challenger, but that the challenger has thrown in the towel. The champion says that the loss is his, and that he does not want to worry about him. The challenger says that since Negi's father left, he has not seen him again. He says that there is no denying that he did not lose, and adds that he has a message for him from Negi, who says he will be waiting for him at the finals. The two discuss what is going on with the hacking of the robot, which they believe is being carried out by mages, using the latest technology in head-to-head combat
