Plot
The results of the intermediate tests are in. Due to their higher difficulty compared to the previous set of tests Arata fails seven of the nine tests, however An passes them all, pressured by Ryō Yoake to stop failing on purpose. Arata enlists Kazuomi to help him study for the retests again, and Ms. Amatsu asks everyone who failed more than three tests to meet her in the staff room after school.

During their meeting in the staff room Ms. Amatsu tries to figure out what caused Arata to fail so many tests. Owning up to his failures Arata tells her that there is no special reason, and despite being depressed at first, Ms. Amatsu tells Arata she trusts him to be able to deal with the retests since he did not give up with the previous set. Arata remembers Ryō telling him at the start of his previous retest loop that learning to have strong willpower in face of adversity is necessary in work life, and realizing that he seems to have changed, resolves to face the challenge and not run away like he used to.

As an afterthought Arata asks Ms. Amatsu to refrain from sharing his personal information, as on the Golden Week study session An told him she got Arata's address from her. However, Ms. Amatsu denies having done so and Arata realizes that An had his address because of her job at the ReLIFE Laboratory and only used Ms. Amatsu as a cover.

Soon after that Honoka walks into the staff room. As Ms. Amatsu introduces them to each other Arata learns that Ms. Amatsu is the advisor of the girls' volleyball club captained by Honoka. It turns out that Honoka is in the staff room because she failed five of her tests, and while Ms. Amatsu reminds her that due to her captaincy she has to pass the retests next week, Arata immediately sees her as a comrade.
