Summary

Myouri Unzen says that he's already declared war on the student council by sending three of his enforcers after the members. In response, Medaka sighs and tells him that he's done a foolish thing, before asking Shiranui to guard the room, promising her an imperial feast in exchange, and running out. Myouri tries to stop her by attacking her, but she ignores the attack, merely leaving her clothes behind. As Medaka runs throughout the hallways, everyone remarks on it, but then dismisses it as normal when they realize it's her. Shiranui stands in front of the door to the music room, stating that Myouri can't do anything to a student who hasn't broken the rules. Myouri asks Onigase if she's broken any rules today, and the female enforcer lies, saying that she didn't, in order to keep Myouri in the room. He sighs, saying that he'll just watch Medaka's struggles like a movie.

Ranraku Yoshinogari approaches Mogana Kikaijima from behind, but before he can attack her, he is hit with Medaka's Kurokami Lariat, the two of them flying out the window before Kikaijima can notice anything. After landing in the courtyard, Medaka asks to borrow a pair of shoes from Isagi Isahaya, as her own were ruined during the fall. The girl agrees, bewildered, and then Medaka runs off. Medaka climbs the wall of the academy using the new shoes and the claws taken from Ranraku, busting through the window before realizing that she went a floor above where she was meant to, leaving the students stunned, before once again realizing it to be the student council president and dismissing it as normal.

Kanraku Kunisaki approaches Kouki Akune from behind, preparing to attack with his bicycle before realizing that Medaka is riding it, telling him that he's using the object wrong and then biking away, leaving the enforcer weaponless, the students witnessing the scene once again describing it as normal. As Medaka bikes through the school grounds, she runs into a blockade of enforcers, who tell her to give up. She, however, declares that she's never given anything up since she was born, and bikes through them without hesitation.

Fue Yobuko asked Zenkichi Hitoyoshi to carry some boxes for her, and while he is distracted, she attempts to attack him using her chains, but before she can hit him, Medaka busts in on her bike and grabs her chains at the very last second, declaring her victory and baffling Yobuko.
