Anne from Management Vermilio goes undercover as "Anne" and intentionally has the tournament management try to sabotage Helck at every round of the competition. However Helck overcomes every challenge with ease, be it a cooking challenge where Vermilio herself was judging or a horse race where Helck was not provided an effective mount. Hyura becomes suspicious of Anne's identity and Kenros is further befriended by Helck throughout the competition. The competition ends early without a victor as a nearby castle is under attack, it is determined the winner of the final round will be the person who defeats the human attackers.
