Plot
During the second program, Koji is teamed with four others. Analyzing their abilities, Ringo Tatara helps him develop strategies against different type of opponents and when to use his ability. Melee users will attack him right away and he needs to counter them when he sees a chance. Range would be harder, but he needs to get closer. If the opponent doesn't move, it likely means he has special ability benefiting from waiting.

During the team battle one on one's, he faces Akira Shiroyanagi. Initially both doesn't move which causes Koji to recall Ringo's words. However, Akira then moves towards his teammates and activates his cannon while aiming at Madoka Kirisaki and explaining he can't leave him alive after he saw his ability. He shoots, but misses on purpouse revealing he was just joking. Koji starts to worry, knowing that he must dodge the cannon and gets closer to Akira. Koji recalls how pathetic he is and his life until the moment he died in a incident while wishing to be someone else. As he was brought here and given ability, he felt like "protagonist" but he was disappointed in his ability. Akira then shoots his cannon and Koji touches the ground and nullifies it. Akira shoots a couple of more times and realizes Koji's ability nullifies abilities. While trembling in fear on his knees, he hears Ringo and Saeko Zokumyoin cheering him. Rin Kashii comments that isn't a proper way to motivate a man and states they will give him a kiss if he wins and she may even do it with Koji. Koji gets super motivated, but as he looks up, shoes hit him in the face and Akira had closed the distance and points his cannon at his face, telling him that if he moves he will shoot. Akira then explains Koji needs to touch the ground and the ability to nullify it and he confirms it. Having no choice, Koji admits defeat.
