Her whole life, Hikari Hanazono has been consumed with the desire to win against her school rival, Kei Takishima - at anything. At age 6 Hikari lost to Kei in an impromptu wrestling match. Now, at 15, Hikari joins "Special A," a group of the top 7 students at a private academy, for the opportunity to trounce the guy who made her suffer her first defeat.

When Sakura learns of Hikari's feelings for Kei, she is determined to get the two together! But getting Hikari to confess is more difficult than anyone imagined. The effort will take Kei and Hikari from a haunted house to a deadly duel to a date with Kei's mom to... Australia?! This is one trip you won't want to miss!

Special A is in an uproar! The conservatory is set to be demolished unless the SA class wins the Elite High School Student Tournament. Hikari is enthusiastic to be in the competition, but Kei and Ryu are at odds over a mysterious girl! Will they be able to come together and defeat their old nemesis Kokusen High, or is this end of Special A?!

Kei's grandfather, determined to keep the boy under his control, traps him in London and makes plans to publicly announce Kei's appointment to president of a company, along with his engagement to the company chairman's daughter. Hikari and the SA gang try to get to London to save him - but with Aoi determined to stop them at all costs, will they make it in time?

The world of the SA class is turned upside down when Iori Tokiwa, a new student, transfers in and takes second place after Kei in the rankings, knocking Hikari down to third. But instead of resenting him, Hikari recognizes Iori as a kindred spirit as they both aim for the number one spot. As the two grow close, Kei must deal with a completely new experience - jealousy.

The SA class decides to get away from it all with a vacation in Finn's home country to join in the big beach festival.
