Sakura's testimony has bought Class D time, but Horikita and Ayanokoji still need to find a way to tilt things in their favor. Meanwhile, Sakura senses the presence of a strange man nearby.

With the hearing for the assault approaching, Ayanokoji and Kushida attempt to secure the cooperation of Sakura Airi, possibly the only person who can testify that Sudo was acting in self defense.

Sudo has been accused of fighting with a student from Class C, and depending on an upcoming ruling, Class D might have its few remaining points stripped away.

Thanks to a lot of hard work and scheming, Class D managed to get surprisingly high scores on their midterm exam. But when a student fails a single test, Ayanokoji makes one final play to save his classmate from expulsion.

With their first midterm exam approaching, Class D needs to find a way to improve their class average, or face another month with no points to spend. Even Horikita decides to take part, forming a study group to help the class underachievers. But can the stanoffish Horikita really inspire her classmates to succeed?

Ibuki has stolen the key card, and Horikita's condition has deteriorated. Over Horikita's objections, Ayanokoji forces her to drop out.

With the panty thief incident already eroding Class D's trust, Horikita finds her leader key card stolen. While they try to figure out who did it, the base camp is thrown into chaos with a new incident of arson.

Class D has achieved a degree of unity in facing the special test, so Ayanokoji and Horikita head out to see how the other classes are getting along. Class B is working together to make a comfortable life for themselves, while Class A remains secretive.

Melancholy, unmotivated Ayanokoji Kiyotaka attends his first day at Tokyo Metropoiltan Advanced Nuturing High School, a government-established institution for training a generation of Japan's best and brightest. In this school, it is said, everything is decided based on merit, which includes the generous monthly "point" allowance students can spend at local shops. As Ayanokoji begins navigating this system, he also nurtures curious relationships with aloof fellow outsider Horikita Suzune and the terminally gregarious Kushida Kikyo.

But Corteo stubbornly refuses to confess anything, a fact which will likely lead to his death. Though he won't admit to it, Avilio is unusually shaken by this. And then Cerotto pays him a visit...

A hard-nosed prohibition agent, Delphy, is installed in Lawless. He claims he will cut out the mafia's power in the city, and begins clamping down on bars that sell bootleg liquor.

But another man watches them with complicated feelings about the situation...

A compilation of Days 1-7.

The Fango family has taken the place of the Orco family. Fango is grateful to Nero and Avilio for their hard work, and asks them to continue to work with him.

Nevertheless, Fio asks Ronaldo to make peace with Nero...

Frate's betrayal has left Nero on the run with the Vanetti family in pursuit. To save the badly injured Tigre, Nero seeks the aid of Fango, who is currently holed up on the Island. In exchange for his help, Nero agrees to bring Don Orco to Fango alive. To that end, Avilio and Nero head for Orco's base of operations, Ottimo Orco.

Avilio and Nero shake off the Orco family's assassin and continue to lie low, until Nero's regular call to Barbero reveals a new development in the conflict: Orco wants peace with the Vanetti family. Still, Barbero suggests that it might not be best for Nero to return to Lawless immediately, and tells Nero and Avilio to meet him at "the Lodge" in two days.

After the incident with Vanno and Serpente, a war between the Vanetti and Orco families is all but guaranteed. Nero goes on the run with Avilio, where the two learn a great deal about each other's personality and past. But a huge man and his hunting dog are pursuing them...

Avilio has taken the first step towards his revenge. But Serpente's body, which he needs to provide his cover story, has disappeared, casting suspicion on Avilio. Nero orders him to bring back Serpente's body at gunpoint. Meanwhile, Fango is also looking for Serpente. Exactly what did happen in those missing hours?

Vincent's dream, the Vanetti playhouse, is now complete. Don Galassia and his nephew Strega, have been invited. In public, they are friendly with Nero, but they are the large family that controls Chicago. The playhouse's opening the next day is wreathed in tension. And at last, the day Avilio's been waiting for has arrived...
