Guel's Pride Suletta is reinstated as a student for the upcoming duel, which will be a rematch against Guel. To ensure his victory, Vim gives Guel a new mobile suit with an auto-pilot, the Darilbalde, ignoring his son's desire to win on his own. Meanwhile, Grassley Defense Systems CEO Sarius Zenelli grows suspicious of Prospera and orders his son, Shaddiq, to investigate Suletta. As the duel commences, the arena's fire suppression systems suddenly activate, neutralizing the Aerial's beam weaponry. Realizing that Vim hacked the fire suppression system, Miorine hijacks a mobile frame and disables the system. With her weapons operational again, Suletta turns the tide. However, not wanting an AI to fight for him, Guel takes back control and fights back with all of his strength, with Suletta narrowly prevailing over him. Afterward, Suletta shows respect for Guel's piloting skill, causing him to become infatuated with her and confess on the spot; much to her shock.
