- While the students are finishing up the X-3 engine, they realize they need a final, very expensive piece. Angelina and Iris attended a pilot conference, but miss their flight back to Mars. Nagisa arranges for the two of them to board a private company plane, carrying a famous space engineering professor, Dr. Jason Li. Hanako and Iris realize the space plane has been hijacked, which they relay to Nagisa and Director Kiryu. Nagisa, doubting the director will handle the situation, asks A-TEC to save them. With A-TEC's help, Hanako and Iris secure the cockpit and set course for Mars. A hijacker tries to shoot at Iris, but the shots end up shattering the cockpit window. This triggers an old memory within Iris, becoming helpless as the plane veers on a crash course. Suddenly, an unknown plane saves them, while Nagisa is perplexed as to who sent it. (en)
- Director Yuji Kiryu, Nagisa's brother, tells Nagisa that he has slashed A-TEC's budget by seventy percent, which Nagisa argues against. The students begin work on repairing the X-2 prototype. They then encounter Angelina rummaging through their office, and she interrogates and harasses them. Angelina later tells Kaito that she was summoned by Nagisa to reduce A-TEC's spending. She pressures Kaito into agreeing to the budget cuts, on the condition that she will not fire the students, and as a result, she moves their working space to an older, worn-down garage, angering the students. Nagisa discusses his secret plans with Angelina, and he realizes that Director Kiryu's seventy-percent budget slash was made up. (en)
- Director Kiryu is becoming more agitated by Nagisa's attitude and actions. The entire A-TEC class goes on a graduation trip to a beach, although Nagisa stays out of the fun activities to complete important company work. Whenever Mizuki tries to coax him into joining the group, the electronic devices he uses end up broken somehow. A standoff between Angelina and Iris reveals that Angelina knows of Iris's amnesia. Late at night, Nagisa is left with no devices left to be able to access the company server, so Mizuki steps in to help. She enlists Iris, racing fast against time, to drive Nagisa to a company branch office where he can access a computer and finish his work. Mizuki discovers scars on Nagisa's back later that night.

Later, Nagisa fails the class exams, criticizing the subjects taught in the class. Nagisa fails the makeup exams that afternoon as well, and decides to stay afterwards to attempt to study. Mizuki comes to offer her assistance, while Kaito goes drinking with A-TEC's former chief. Both groups begin a conversation about Nagisa's upbringing. Nagisa is not truly a member of the main Kiryu family, and his brothers treat him terribly as a result. Nagisa is also the last living member of the Shinamiya family, which formed Kirishina alongside the Kiryu family, putting Nagisa in an interesting position in company politics. With the help of the entire A-TEC class, Nagisa passes the makeup exams. (en)
- The day before the general election, Nagisa contacts Director Yuji Kiryu, telling him to turn on the TV and that his plan is now underway. The candidate for the Seimin party, Furabayashi, moved over to the Oozora party, to most people's confusion, with the party declaring their support for him, abandoning former candidate Murakami. Upon hearing the news, A-TEC's students feel like their souls have been crushed, as the candidate that pledged to support them is all but out of the running. Angelina reveals Nagisa's plan to A-TEC, showing that he persuaded Furabayashi to change parties at the last moment. Kaito berates Nagisa, stating that he's disappointed in Nagisa, and that Nagisa doesn't seem confident in his actions. Yuji Kiryu loses his position as director, and the CEO, Kazuhisa Kiryu, prepares for an oncoming battle with Nagisa. (en)
- With general elections coming up, the two largest political parties, Seimin and Oozora, use favors within Kirishina to rally support for their respective candidates. The students prepare their attraction for the upcoming school festival, a rocket being propelled by a pressurized bottle of water. While testing the rocket, Iris has flashbacks of a terrible memory, and becomes sick. Nagisa asks Iris if not knowing her past bothers her, and she responds that she has nothing to complain about. The students' festival attraction goes over fairly well. Nagisa and Hanako try to figure out why money budgeted for A-TEC keeps disappearing, and after meeting with Director Kiryu, his suspicions are confirmed, and he begins to set his plan in motion. (en)
- With all but five members of the class leaving, the remaining students feel demotivated and powerless. By chance, Kaito is struck by the idea of bringing their problem to the labor union, which decides to support their cause. Kaito and the students begin participating in union events, but it soon becomes apparent the union is using Kaito's name in hopes of gaining political power. Nagisa promotes Kaito to Assistant Chief, rendering the labor union unable to help him any longer, and they leave him. Five more students return to A-TEC, inspired by the group's perseverance. They later find a loophole in company regulations that allows Kaito to use his executive promotion to acquire funds for continuing A-TEC. (en)
- While Mizuki begins to nurse Iris back to health in a hospital, Dr. Jason Li finds Kaito, and brings him to a secret research facility. CEO Kazuhisa tells Nagisa his plan to open a military weaponry division, but that he needs Nagisa, Kaito, and Dr. Li to manage it. He also reveals that Nagisa is not even a member of the Kiryu or Shinamiya families, and was instead a decoy as the real Nagisa Shinamiya escaped Mars. Iris, her memory fully returned, attempts to seek out Nagisa. The CEO tells Nagisa to forget his revenge plan and join his side, and Nagisa, lost in his thoughts, finds Mizuki and breaks down. Mizuki tells him they will struggle together, and they kiss. Nagisa and Kaito, not wanting to join the weaponry division, decide to throw a wrench in their plan and re-create A-TEC. Three days later though, Nagisa gets stabbed by former director Yuji Kiryu in a dark city street. (en)

The next day, although Nagisa cancelled class, the students still gather and discuss Nagisa's history and speculate what his plans are. While watching a video where he was interviewed in the past, Kaito Sera becomes reinvigorated and storms into Nagisa's office to declare that he will do what he can to keep A-TEC going. (en)
