==Plot==
Outside the MRC room, Yagami witnesses two students accusing Toki of cheating in a tournament and shaking him down for money. He gets the delinquents to back off and Toki tells Yagami he has a request for the MRC. In Amaswa's absence, Yagami brings him into the room. Amasawa and Kento enter the room, with her forbidding him from playing video games until exams are over because of his teacher lecturing him about his grades. Toki tells Yagami and Amasawa that the eSports club has been accused of cheating with help from the Professor, and he wants help clearing their name. 
The allegations started when the ace player of a world-renowned professional team was beaten flawlessly by president Sanbonmatsu during practice, and rumors of the Professor being involved came from the Newspaper Club. Toki tells him the club room in on the 4th floor of the campus's east building. Yagami walks in to Sanbonmatsu denying the accusations while Otani is interviewing him. When he leaves, Yagami is askes by Sanbonmatsu if he is familiar with Virtua Fighter 5, which he is not. Toki helps Yagami learn the basics.
When Yagami leaves the club room, he is asked by Otani to have a chat in the cafeteria. Otani states he is confident the club received assistance from the Professor and asks if the two can exchange what they know. Otani states Sanbonmatsu's win against an undefeated world champion is far too abnormal, and whatever cheat program they used was able to bypass the anti-cheat countermeasures, which would be possible for the Professor. Otani asks Yagami to get Sanbonmatsu to fight him. As he does not want to lose against an amateur, he is likely to use the cheat if Yagami is good enough.
Yagami return to the club room in time to catch Sasamoto leaving. The club members state her disapproval of video games and let him know of rumors that she plans to ban them with new regulations. Yagami states his intent to fight Sanbonmatsu, who tell him he needs to defeat Fujiwara, Uozumi, and Yoshiba before Yagami can fight him. Yagami defeats Fujiwara and hears the members' concern over their grades. He then defeats Yoshiba and sees Sasamoto tell them video games are not important. After beating Uozumi, he talks to Toki.
For the match against Sanbonmatsu, Yagami asks to Toki to swap his machine with an unused one to ensure Sanbonmatsu cannot tamper with it. Yagami challenges Sanbonmatsu to a match on Toki's exchanged machine, and defeats him. Sanbonmatsu states he was warming up, and asks for a rematch. Thoughout the rematch, Yagami loses control of his character and wonders aloud why he cannot move, causing him to lose. Noticing he did not tamper with the machine itself, Yagami asks Sanbonmatsu to stand still while using Active Search to find the cheat method.
Yagami asks Toki if players are allowed to bring their own controllers, which he confirms is the case. Yagami theorizes the controller was modified to include a cheat program which tampers with gameplay when the controller is connected. He asks Sanbonmatsu if he can see his controller, but Sanbonmatsu states he remembered something and barges out. Yagami chases Sanbonmatsu to prevent him from disposing of the evidence, and captures him on the roof. Amasawa, Otani, and Toki arrive and Yagami takes them all to the club room to hear Sanbonmatsu's explanation.
Sanbonmatsu confirms his controller is set to install a cheat program on the machine when he wants it to, which he did against the professional team. He states he was able to bypass the anti-cheat measure with help of the Professor, whom he suspects was after the prize money. He states he wanted to win the tournament no matter what the cost to ensure the eSports Club has a reason to continue existing. He decides to take responsibility by resigning from the club. The club members feel they are to blame because their weakness caused their president to resort to such tactics, and ask to share responsibility. Amasawa asks Yagami if he can convince Yuzo Okuda to allow the eSports Club to continue.
Amasawa is told Okuda and even Sasamoto allowed the club to continue under the condition they perform better in the next six months. Yagami adds that with their friendship strengthened, the eSports Club is more motivated than before. With video games approved by the chairman and the PTA, Kento considers joining the club, but his sister reminds him of his grades.
