Kazuki Sato walks around the school and sees a bunch of girls recite mathematical figures. He wonders to himself what they are doing. A girl then comes close to him and tells him that they are practicing to become the math president. Meanwhile, Nina Machida sits on a bench and a teacher sits next to her.
