Three months since the new academic year started, the teacher, Nagisa Ujibe opened a chance for regular students to get into the Elite Class, and thus she held a class exchange event. Mio got her turn for the fourth match, where she needed to face against the regular class students, consisting of Ai Shimada, Momo Horiuchi, and Kazane Aoba. When she finally got her turn to fight, Mio mumbled that her own *harem* party was going to start. Right after the match started, Kazane rushed towards her and assaulted her, whereas Mio was able to dodge it. Mio then teased Kazane by telling that she wanted to pick her up. However, Kazane angered and attacked her once more.

Mio then advised that Kazane was unable to beat her all alone, as she needed to team up with the other participants. However, Kazane decided to attack her again once more by herself, only to be intimidated. Mio then starting to swing her breasts around. Mio began to move, but she noticed that Shimada was behind her and tried to attack her. Mio managed to dodge, but she needed to doge once more upon noticing that Horiuchi blocked her landing point. However, Mio managed to dodge all of them. She then listened as Kazane explained her "Scanning Hand", which capable of reading her movement. Mio was surprised upon hearing that Kazane has touched her butt while asking when Kazane touched her, as replied by Kazane that she touched Mio in the bathroom. When she was cornered, Mio started to laugh instead, while her opponents were paralyzed, unable to move their bodies.

Revealing her "Breast Hypnosis", Mio then finished them off. Mio also mumbled that she went overboard. Later that night, Mio was punished by her teacher, Nagisa Ujibe, for using the "Breast Hypnosis", as that technique was actually banned by Ujibe. When Nozomi and her roommates came to talk with Ujibe, Mio stated that she was actually cornered, if not she was not going to use her trump card. The next morning, Nozomi thanked her for supporting Kazane, as all of the Room 309 residents have been promoted into the Elite Class.

### Training Camp Arc

Along with the Elite Class members and their teacher, Miku Kobayakawa, they went to Kyoto for a training camp. Upon arriving there, Kobayakawa announced that they arrived too soon. As such, they were given three hours of free time. Mio invited Nozomi and her friends to play the King's Game, but they refused. Sometime later, she joined with the other Elite Class members to jog around. She witnessed the arrival of Kyoko Shirayuki, while her teacher Kobayakawa told them that Shirayuki would be their trainer during the training camp. They were all then surprised upon hearing that an active Keijo player would like to train them.

The next day, the Infighters, including herself, Nozomi Kaminashi, Hanabi Kawai, and Atsuko Yoshida were coached by Shirayuki, while the Outfighters, and Counters were coaced by the other active players. Shirayuki then stated that a trial match would be the fastest way to make them understand. Nozomi challenged Shirayuki first, while Mio witnessed their fight. Mio herself then got her turn in order to face Shirayuki, but all of them were defeated. The next day, they changed their training spot and went to Kamogawa River. The next day, Mio accompanied Hanabi practicing at the river.

When Nozomi was practicing the "Butt Flash" to pull out the turnip, Mio visited her. Mio then tried to pull out the turnip, but Nozomi warned her since it's not easy as she imagined. However, Mio managed to pull it out on her first attempt, shocking Nozomi. She then proceeded teasing Nozomi by groping her breasts. On the other hand, a stranger watched over them from afar. On the last day of the trip, Kobayakawa explained that they would held trial matches for tomorrow. When Nozomi was challanged by Usagi Tsukishita, Mio asked if Nozomi did something bad to her. The next day, right before Nozomi fought Usagi, she wished Nozomi good luck. Mio then turned to Usagi, and stated that she'd like to see how much Usagi has improved, this made Usagi embarrassed. Later that night, Mio and her friends were discussed regarding the next event, the East-West War.

### The East-West War Arc

After the end of the training camp, she went to Shimizu Keijo Stadium to participate in a yearly event held by Setouchi and their rival, Suruga Keijo Training School, known as the "East-West War" to prove which one is better between the two. Upon arriving there, alongside her comrades, she engaged in a commotion with Suruga's students, since Suruga's teacher underestimated Setouchi and made fun of them. When Nozomi proceeded approaching Maya Sakashiro, Mio used her technique the "Butt Sandstorm" to stop them. But soon, Kaho Fuyuzora and Akari Fuyuzora dispelled her technique. Mio was impressed by the twins. However the conflict was stopped by Setouchi's teachers, Miku Kobayakawa and Hitomi Hokuto, who apologized to Suruga. Later, they went to the waiting room, Kobayakawa scolded them for making such chaos and advised to beat Suruga fairly and squarely. On the day of the race, Nagisa Ujibe revealed that the races of this year would be team matches. Mio got her turn in the first group, along with Sayaka Miyata, Kotone Fujisaki, and Mari Murata.

Alongside her teammates, she entered the match against Suruga's representatives of the first group, consisting of Nami Nanase, Akari Fuyuzora, Kaho Fuyuzora, and Saki Hanayama. Before the match started, Mio was recognized by Nanase as a gold medalist, while Sayaka was recognized as an Olympics qualifier. Thus if she could defeat both of them, her popularity would increase. Mio began flirting with her, telling that she wanted to hear Nanase sing in bed. As the match started, Sayaka rushed towards Nanase, but was wiped out by Hanayama, before being rescued by Kotone. Mio then stated that Hanayama was an Infighter, prompting her to ask Murata to counter Hanayama. However, Murata was caught off guard and was defeated. Shortly after, while Sayaka and Kotone rushed toward Hanayama, Mio immediately assisted them. Thus, the three of them managed to defeat Hanayama.

Realizing that Sayaka needed to recover after using her "K-acceleration", Kotone decided to protect Sayaka, while asking Mio to handle the twins. Mio agreed and began fighting Akari and Kaho. When Kotone was cornered by Nanase, Mio sent Akari flying and bumping into Nanase, separating her from Kaho. Mio then tortured Kaho in order to arouse her, while Kaho began to weaken. But soon, Kaho was rescued by Akari. Right after Nanase's defeat at the hands of Sayaka, Mio appeared behind the twins, defeating them. They eventually won the first match. Afterwards, they were congratulated by their comrades.

Setouchi won the first match, but they lost the second match. Thus the outcome would depend on the third match. Thanks to Nozomi, Setouchi finally won the final match and the eleventh East-West War competition. She was later seen celebrating along with her comrades. Later that night at the feast, when Hanabi Kawai asked Hikari Muromachi and Midori Morimoto to introduce her to Suruga's male students, Midori stated they couldn't do that. Mio approached Midori and began flirting with her, asking Midori to tell her name.

**Breast Hypnosis** (乳催眠, *Chichi Saimin*): A technique employed by swinging her breasts like a pendulum. Those who witness it will be paralyzed, and unable to move. In such a state, Mio can finish them off as quickly or as slowly as she desires. This technique is banned by Nagisa Ujibe outside of official matches and tournaments. Mio states that she will not use it unless she gets cornered. However, this technique is only effective at close distance. People who witness it from afar will not be affected.

**Heaven Hip Spot** (ヘヴンズ・ヒップ・スポット, *Hebun Hippu Supotto*): Much like her "Queen of Hip" technique, Mio is able to accurately target sensitive zones of her opponent, giving them an awkward but pleasurable sensation. After Mio manages to successfully hit them, her opponent will simply keep silent for a certain period of time. Their expression looks pale, but at the same time, looks calm, as if they are in heaven. In fact, the opponent has fainted due to the immense pleasurable sensation caused by the attack. This technique allows Mio to defeat Hikaru Hoshide, one of the Five Butts, by one-hit KO.
