Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Unaware of the undercurrents stirring in secret, Riezel and the others finally welcomed the Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event.
On this day, all seven first- and second-year students gathered at the entrance to the Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High School campus.
