Meanwhile, the school's annual cultural festival is fast approaching, and the girls of Class 2-A are eager to put on a show and compete in the idol competition. All except one - Asuna, who outright refuses to participate.
Negi, eager to get his class to work together and build their confidence, tries to persuade Asuna to join the group, but she remains stubborn and bitter. In an attempt to understand her reluctance, Negi discovers that Asuna used to be part of a popular idol group, but left after being betrayed by her partners. Despite her past, Asuna is still a talented singer and performer, but her fear of betrayal has caused her to close herself off to others.

In the end, the girls' hard work pays off, and their performance wows the judges and audience alike.
