==Synopsis==
===Part 1===
After swiftly dealing with three attackers (and being watched doing so), Shokuhou Misaki, the Queen of Tokiwadai, and her #2 Hokaze Junko meet clique members Asato Kisa and Kobayashi Satori who talk about Asato's first experience about overindulging herself in Smile Pancakes. This carefree mood is then broken by an explosion nearby, caused by a launcher intended to carry fliers for Tokiwadai's incumbent student council vice president Gaouin Tsukasa's intention to run for presidency. The conversation between the two soon becomes heated as Shokuhou is irritated by her interrupted teatime and it escalates from an exchange of sarcasm into Gaouin challenging Shokuhou to a "duel" for the student council presidency. Gaouin then promises to dismantle the cliques in Tokiwadai if she wins.
===Part 2===
Shokuhou and Hokaze soon make their stroll across the School Garden later that day, with the same stalker from earlier (who is also currently infiltrating the clique) following their path using a Homing Camera. Then, they are surrounded by four persons in suits and another person wearing the same shirt as the attacker from earlier. Although not remembering much about the other encounter, Shokuhou decides to fight back with Hokaze, winning over them by unleashing a "flash of lightning". Shokuhou then offers the fallen enemies the opportunity to work for her.
The next day, Shokuhou finally decides to accept Gaouin's challenge. The spy from earlier then witnesses the loyalty of the entire clique to Shokuhou herself (and not to her ability alone).
