Aired on February 13, 2008

Aika reprimands Akari for lacking seriousness in practice, warning that Alicia will be upset, but Akari claims Alicia never scolds or angers at her. This surprises Alice, who begins stalking Alicia to understand the reason, using weak excuses when discovered. After a week, Alice confronts Alicia at a cafe. Alicia demonstrates her teaching style by having President Aria deliver candies to other patrons, praising his speed and success while ignoring distractions like sparrows. Alicia explains that criticism causes fear of mistakes, so she prefers encouragement. She notes that if Aria had failed, she would have reflected on her own instruction methods, highlighting the similarity between teaching and learning.
