23

Aoi’s actions lead to the disbandment of the S.A class, a move intended to compel Kei to travel to London. To ensure he can stay with his friends, Kei issues a challenge to Hikari, promising to reinstate the S.A class if she emerges victorious. Hikari accepts the terms, unaware of the true stakes involved. By the time she realizes the depth of Kei’s sacrifice, it is too late. He has already departed for London, having left behind the possibility of restoring the group in order to secure his own future away from his peers.
