But Sho gets the letter instead and thinks it is for him. Sho goes to the girl dorms and Asuka sees the note and holds Sho hostage to get Judai to duel her saying that they would be reported if they refused. Judai won the duel and they are let go per the agreement. Asuka mentions that she wouldn't have them expelled even if she had won.
