The Nine Schools Competition begins (S01E06)

First High is on a mission to secure their third consecutive victory at the National Magic High School Goodwill Tournament of Magic Skills, also known as the Nine Schools Competition. Led by Mayumi and the senior team, they are widely regarded as the most formidable group of their era and are eager to defend their title. However, Airi Isshiki, Shiori Kanou, and Toko Tsukushiin from Third High are set on breaking their winning streak. As First High accumulates points, disaster strikes during the Battle Board race when Mari, a top contender, suffers a serious injury. Determined for First High to triumph, she implores Miyuki to step in for her in the Mirage Bat event.
