Manga[]
While practicing karate in their physical education class, the students are assembled for mixed sparring. When selected to spar first, Ayu states that her agency prohibited her from participating in any activity that might injure her and suggests that Hitomi take her place instead -- knowing that Hitomi's popularity in the school would skyrocket if people knew about her stunt roles and her martial arts ability.
To further help Hitomi, Ayu invites her to an elite club to network with some notable celebrities.
Afterwards, Ayu becomes increasingly worried about Hitomi, believing that she may be soliciting herself to pay the membership fee for the club and to purchase the luxurious goods that she brings to school. She alerts Eikichi Onizuka of her suspicions.
Both Ayu and Onizuka trail Hitomi to Kabukichō, a red-light district located in Tokyo, but they both lose sight of her. The next day, Ayu trails Hitomi after school by herself to a small alleyway. There, she finds an establishment, HS Girl Room Expo, which she believes Hitomi may have entered. However, she does not enter the establishment and instead alerts Onizuka to its existence. After investigating the site, Onizuka reveals to Ayu that Hitomi was actually working at a nearby construction site as a scaffolding worker.
Eventually, Ayu approaches Hitomi to refund her for the membership fee that she had paid to Jun Morita. They briefly discuss the club and Hitomi's new goal before Hitomi hurriedly leaves for work. As soon as Hitomi leaves, Onizuka arrives on his bike and offers Ayu a ride to a Stardom match. There, they spot Hitomi working as a mobile beer vendor before the match.
After the match, the two watch Hitomi and some of the other trainees perform their warm-up routine while discussing Hitomi's future debut. Onizuka especially expresses his desire to hype up her debut with tantalizing photos of her panties while she wrestles, which Ayu reveals to Hitomi.
