Lyla struggles to find power on her shot as a coach forces her to shoot in the split second between falling and staying up. She worries they can't compete with only two players. The coach reveals she applied to restart Meteor Reignite, using her field and funds as collateral; the association gave provisional admission but demands 15 registered players in a month and passing qualifiers in three months. Hugh, her father's arranged fiancé, arrives to mock the club and an F-rank recruit. Lyla refuses to quit and vows to prove him wrong, but the team must be built fast.
