In "Battle Royale, Part 1," Setoka Icho, serving as proxy student council president, stages a high-stakes paintball showdown between the three class years, each vying for the ultimate prize: a coupon for the legendary cafeteria chicken cutlet sandwich. With nerves on edge and teamwork under pressure, the game quickly turns into a chaotic mix of strategy, surprise alliances, and quiet moments of connection.

In "Battle Royale, Part 2," the school's annual event heats up as sophomores treat it like a game, juniors led by Gorou Suteno push to prove their edge, and seniors rally to shield Komi from harm—each group navigating the chaos on their own terms.

In "Shiina," Komi's quiet persistence meets Shiina's guarded skepticism as tensions simmer in the school hall—where Suteno's need to prove himself clashes with Yamai's fierce, unwavering protectiveness of Komi.

In "Tales from the Battle Royale," chaos erupts as students at Nishio High scramble to survive an unexpected class-wide showdown. Yamai finds an unlikely ally in the midst of a confrontation with Suteno, while Omakawa nervously seeks validation from Komi, and Wakai stands up for Manbagi amid the rising tension. As straggling sophomores attempt to unite their class and a few daring students plot to challenge Setoka Icho’s authority, the school becomes a battleground of nerves, alliances, and quiet defiance.

In "Long-Rope Jumping," Yamai tricks Jo into a jump rope challenge with a mischievous grin, secretly hoping to catch a glimpse of her skirt flying up—only for Jo’s friends to quietly step in and shield her from embarrassment. The story unfolds with playful tension and subtle camaraderie, capturing a moment of lighthearted mischief and quiet loyalty.
