Six months after a dreadful motorcycle accident, Natsusa finally returns to school. Unfortunately he has to repeat his first year of college and can no longer play the rugby he loves so much. Even so, he cannot break away himself from it.

While the Doushisha Rugby team is pretty strong, Natsusa worries about the upcoming finals against the strongest team in their region, Koufuuin. In order to try and keep an upper hand, Natsusa goes to drag Ibuki back into the game.

Ibuki comes back to the rugby club, but the third year students don't want to accept him. Natsusa suggests a solution. Everyone tests Ibuki's skills in rugby with a intraclub match to decide if he is useless or not. A seven-month blank is hard.

Yasunari gets completely defeated by Ryuusei and is in danger of being removed from the starting line-up. His stress goes over his breaking point and now Natsusa is the only person who can help him. Of course, Natsusa is willing! For a price!

Natsusa's neck gets aggravated and he gets stuck in bed. Yuu tries to help fill the void Natsusa had left behind, but finds that he is unable to do as much as he had thought. The starting line-up gets announced and the team prepares for their match.
