Welcome distraction arrives in the form of a collaborative school festival. All of the Obsidian High School campuses send a representative to compete against their fellow practitioners in some “friendly” competition. Because Hana’s true strength was made common knowledge, she’s unwillingly selected as a representative.
Their biggest rival is Campus Four, which has claimed victory for the last several years. This event brings the Yotsukado clan’s successor to the scene, and she obviously has it out for Hana.
