Ep. 15: Takeo trains Mariya for the sports festival relay, leading to a team victory and a disciple request.
Aired on July 16, 2015
During preparations for the sports festival, Takeo’s Swedish relay team faces a crisis when a key runner sprains her ankle. Mariya Saijou, often perceived as slow, replaces her. Recognizing her potential, Takeo trains Mariya to improve her speed. At the event, Mariya stumbles but successfully passes the baton to Takeo, securing a decisive victory for the team. As a gesture of gratitude, she gifts him a towel, which worries Rinko about potential romantic rivalry. Days later, after Takeo assists Mariya with a twisted ankle, she confesses her admiration and requests to become his disciple. This clarification alleviates Rinko’s concerns regarding her relationship with Takeo.
