Plot Summary
Nanami is enjoying her time at Saotome Academy. She is trying her hardest especially when it comes to music. In the morning when Nanami is playing with the black cap Kupuru, she spots Shou-kun falling from a tree. Shou tells her not to tell anyone. Hyuga-sensei is starring in an upcoming action movie "Prince of Precipices", and they are holding auditions for an accompaniment role. Nanami and Shibuya decide to tell Shou about it, thinking he might be interested. Shuo tells Nanami about how Hyuga-sensei and the Prince of Fights TV show is a big deal and he wouldn't let this opportunity go.
Shou explains that as a kid he would watch Hyuga on TV. Since he was weakling this was an inspiration for him. Nanami understand, as she explains that she looks up to Hayato in the same way that Shou looks up to Hyuga. Just then Natsuki traps him and ties him to a tree. Shou reveals that he has a fear of heights and is trying to overcome it. Everyone agrees to help him.
Just as they start to wonder what could cause Shou's fear of heights. Shining Saotome comes out of nowhere and says he will help Shou, because listening to student's troubles is part of his job. Shining uses a method of hypnosis to try and get into Shou's subconscious.
It seems that even at 5 years old Shou was being chased around by Natsuki for being cute. This resulted in him being chased up an old tower and almost falling out of the top window.
Even though his fear of heights in now cured, he decides not to audition. In the fine print of the audition advertisement, it says that the role being auditioned for is that of the younger sister of the character that Hyuga-sensei is playing, so only females can audition. Natsuki has one last trick up his sleeve, which might actually be more traumatizing than what happened when they were 5 years old.
