"HHHHHUUUUUHHHH?!?!?!?!"

With Kokoro's sparkling performance out of the way, Artemis can finally focus on getting the Hoshinomori Festival together with her new unit. And during her time with Kokoro, Artemis came up with a brilliant idea on how to prepare them for the Art Session.

Let's just say the unit did not see it coming.

"C-Could you repeat that, President?" Shotaro requested, believing he had misheard her.

"Of course." Artemis smiled, almost excitedly. She was currently sitting in her desk chair with Ansley behind her, as the unit was currently standing before them. "We are holding a team match."

And because of her 'brilliant idea', things got a bit more hectic.

"You can't be serious, President!" Itsuki shouted, slamming his hands on Artemis' desk, making it shake and all the things on it, as the girl was unfazed by him.

"But I am." Artemis stated, her face warping in one mixed of seriousness and frustration. "There is 70 days until the Hoshinomori Summer Festival and you all have not been able to communicate with each other, unless there was a wall between you!" She abruptly stood up from her seat, her chair pushing back by the force as Itsuki reeled back in shock. "I let you be to get yourselves acquainted after years of not seeing each other! However, as to how I am seeing you all are acting towards one another, the Art Session will be a complete failure!"

The memebers averted their gazes to the floor.

Artemis took a deep breath and looked at those on Itsuki's side. "I know you guys have personal reasons for not wanting Mr. Maeshima to join, but I scouted you all for a reason." She explained, her voice calming after each passing word. "No matter how good you are at covering this disagreement, or pretending to have faith at one another, someone out there will notice the discord between you all and it will make your performance look bad. Your Prodigy Arts only performs their best when all of you are in sync. When you put your heart into it. However, none of you are in sync." Her gaze softened, almost painfully. "Your Arts will feel and look sad because of that." She whispered. "You all love skate-leading, yes?"

The members looked grim at her words, but remained silent as they were being scolded by their boss. Almost like a parent scolding their children.

"I'm giving you all the chance to do what you love." Artemis told them. "I want everyone to see how much fun skate-leading is. Not only as a sport, but as an entertainment, too."

The group finally looked at her.

At that, Artemis smiled. "In order to do that... the performers have to be having fun, too."

This surprised them.

Ansley silently pushed the rolling chair back in its place and Artemis collapsed on it, sighing afterwards.
