Plot
Schmelman didn't give Sakai Rihito any stars and said that if he want to stay in the school, he should steal them from other students.

During the rest time, the girls having a discussion about Schmelman s behaviors and wondering if he done that purposely as a revenge on how Rihito held Schmelman as hostage earlier. Meanwhile, all Rihito thought was just whether Firenda wears panties or not, which angered Hina and she told him to take his task seriously. Rihito then stated he didn't care if he would be expelled from the school since his only purpose being there was to bring Sakai Tokikaze back home, under the request from his grandmother. Knowing Rihito's true purpose for being there, Tokikaze tells him that he wouldn't return home since he wanted to become a soldier. The other students then asked Lyne and the others that if they know where did their stars gone. Soon, they overheard Sonohara Mizuka's scream so he went to find her. They find that Douan Taketora also joined into the school and was bullying Mizuka for her stars. Upon seeing him, Tokikaze noticed that Taketora has a lot of stars stolen from the other Class A students. Lyne Mei asked Tokikaze who is him, and he explained that he is a known bully who always bullying Mizuka ever since in middle school. Tokikaze tried to tell Taketora to stop, but he didn't listen and warned Tokikaze that if he kept opposing him; he would get his grandmother kicked out from the dojo that Douan family was in charge of. Taketora also stated that if Tokikaze didn't want his grandmother to suffer, that he should give him his stars too. Tokikaze concerned about his grandmother's well being gives up his stars to Taketora. Right after he gave Taketora his stars, Jail Murdoch went to face Taketora to return the stars back to Tokikaze, but he told Jail to stop as this is his personal issue.

After Taketora left, Lyne is angered by his behaviors and said she want to challenge him in Startheft Bout battle, but Pele Poporo stopped her from doing so, as he believed Taketora won't accept her challenge due to him had already collected 10 stars thanks to stealing. Soon, Jail gives one of his star to Mizuka which Lyne realized that there's other way to help. However, Tokikaze denied Lyne's help and stated that she need to help the others first. Pele then asked Tokikaze if he is really fine with that, as not accepting her help means that he has only one option left to gain stars, which is stealing from the others. Because of Pele's words, Tokikaze begin to concern about how to gain more stars to avoid expulsion. While returning to the class, Tokikaze contemplated if he should steal stars from other students or not, but he kept telling himself not to do that as he didn't like violence. Then, Rihito told Tokikaze that he could just return home after this and staying with his grandmother. However, Tokikaze said he didn't want to and stated he must become a soldier, as his grandmother becomes weaker and weaker as the time passes due to she gave most of her foods to both him and Rihito. No matter how much he told his grandmother to stop, she still won't listen. Because of that, Tokikaze must become a soldier so that his grandmother can live peaceful without worrying him and Rihito. After seeing Tokikaze's tears, Rihito and Jail decided to help Tokikaze.

At 18:00 PM, Taketora is ready to be graduated and left the toilet. Rihito appeared and proceeded to beg Taketora to return Tokikazes stars so he wouldnt be expelled. Taketora punches Rihito violently away and calls him weak. Hina found Rihito to be punched by Taketora and worried at him, wondering if there's really no other way to stop the bully. However, for unknown reason, Rihito smiled, which confused her. While Taketora is graduating, Tokikaze and the others just standing inside the class to see Taketora graduate. However, as Taketora leaving, he saw Jail standing in the front gate waiting for him. Jail stated that if he want to graduate he can do it whenever he want, but then when he was graduated, he will stop and punch him for his shitty behavior. Taketora was angered and wanted to punches Jail, but then he stopped right away because he thought Jail would wager his stars which would be unnecessary as he already has over 10 stars. Jail stated that he won't challenge Taketora in Startheft Bout battle, as he had already gave his remaining star to Tokikaze. Tokikaze cried and wonder why did Jail help him. Jail also stated that even after graduation, Taketora won't last long in the army because his personality is so unlikeable for the other soldiers to like him. This enraged Taketora and want to punch Jail.

Before he could do so, Schmelman comes to stop them and asking Taketora where's his stars. Taketora then shows his stars to Schmelman. Unknown to Taketora, Rihito managed to steal Taketora's stars and gives them back to Tokikaze and the other students. Due to only have two stars, Taketora have no choice but staying in the school. Then, he gives Jail some stars and explains it was originally meant for Rihito, as he was wondering how Rihito will handling the situation given he started with no stars. He also stated that he was going to give Rihito the stars once the time reach 18:00 PM but it was unnecessary now since Rihito already stole Taketora's stars, so he gave them to Jail instead and saying that he deserved to become a soldier.

After Jail returned to the class, Tokikaze thanked Jail for helping him. Although Jail claimed he didn't help him but just simply couldn't stand Taketora's attitude, and told him he wasn't shown his full strength back in their first fight. Tokikaze then smiled and said that he also haven't shown his full strength to Jail either. Soon, Rihito told Tokikaze that they would stay in the training school together, as he believe doing so their grandmother can fill her stomach just fine. To celebrate Rihito and Jail's achievement, the Class A students want to have a dinner party together with Lyne and the other three time travellers was confused at what is onigiri, as such food doesn't exists in Althea.
