Everyone then made their way to the viewing room except Kirishima and Aoyama as they were the first match. Once everyone but those two got to the viewing room
they went to their partner and started to form a plan. But what they didn't know is who they would be going against. With Kirishima and Aoyama. "Hey man, instead of making an attack plan, let's make a defense plan," said Kirishima. "Sounds like a good idea," said Aoyama. They formed their defense plan consisting of Kirishima being the tank and Aoyama staying close behind him. Once they find out their opponent they will form an attack plan based off of wh it may be. They wander around for a bit then suddenly Aoyama sees Ectoplasm on top of a lamp post. Ectoplasm duplicates himself a total of twenty times. Kirishima goes back to back with Aoyama and they interlock both of their arms together Kirishima Hardens and spins Aoyama while he activates his naval Lazer making a spinning beam taking out 14 of the clones. Kirishima then stops spinning and looks at Aoyama and nods. Aoyama then runs into a random building while Kirishima runs and enters the same building by climbing to the top and going through the roof door. Three of the clones follow Aoyama and three follow Kirishima. Kirishima is ahead so he makes a plan by meeting up with Aoyama in the mirror shop and lifting him into a vent on the roof and after getting all the way in Aoyama latches the vent closed from the inside. Kirishima then leaves the room and goes to another room and climbs into the ceiling vent and latches it shut as well. The clones then make their way into the mirror room at the same time a fog enters and covers the room making it hard to see. Aoyama quietly opens the vent and silently lands on the ground. He makes his way around the room rearranging the mirrors quietly so Ectoplasm doesn't hear. Eventually Aoyama gets them all into position and fires his naval lazer taking out 5 of the clones. Kirishima then silently makes his way over to the part of the vent where Aoyama was hiding and waits. Aoyama then runs in the direction of the vent. Ectoplasm's clone follows and suddenly gets taken out by Kirishima who hardened and landed on the clone taking it out. The real Ectoplasm enters through the street side door and looks around to see if they were still there. Suddenly he sees Aoyama and runs at him. He hit Aoyama right in the face but to his surprise it was only a reflection. Ectoplasm turned around and was met by Kirishima's hardened fist knocking him out completely. They made their way out carrying Ectoplasm to Recovery Girl. As they then entered the viewing room they were met by everyone congratulating them. Nezu walked over to him and gave him a black and purple piece of paper. "Congrats! Based on your performance during your match you will go into the next and final round!" exclaimed Nezu. Nezu then led Kirishima to a refreshment station. "You can get some refreshments here to prepare!" said Nezu. "Thank you Principal Nezu, this helps a lot," said Kirishima. "It's no problem, I want you to do your best!" exclaimed Nezu.
