The Kyoto Sister-School Goodwill Event spans a total of two days, with a host of different competitions scheduled between students on each day. Traditionally, the first day features a group event, while the second day sees students matched against each other in individual fights.

This year, the pattern is no different.

'The first day 's event this year is a Maze Run, and the rules are as follows, ' Iori-sensei starts, authoritatively clearing her throat to catch the students ' attention. She seems well. It 's been quite a while since Shiki has last seen her old teacher, and she 's glad the Iori-sensei seems to be doing well for herself as a Kyoto teacher.
