After stretching while Naoki did the ladder, Masaru paid no attention to Naoki's style, deciding to do something he picked up a while ago. As Naoki finished the ladder Masaru jumped up and did a very interesting high knees style, running down side-on with high knees, making a half circle turn every step, using the momentum from the turns to put more power into each step. Despite the movement looking awkward it was easy to do it fast, and Masaru made it back to the start only a little slower than his last attempt. A great maneuver for a show-off to demonstrate. "You can't believe how well that develops leg muscles," Masaru said offhandedly as he stretched again.

Michiko started walking down to Izumi and Taki when Kimura went in front of her. "Michiko can I speak to you in private?" the captain asked, and Michiko followed him outside, a bit confused. After the captain finished talking Michiko opened her mouth to say that she was going to announce the drills after Izumi did one suicide drill, but the captain was already gone. Michiko came back inside to Izumi and Taki, saying, "Good job you two, Taki excellent speed but to make you even better you should try practicing your conditioning at home, Izumi, good job, we'll have to see your other skills to figure out what you should practice," Meanwhile, Rikyu barely finished his hexagonal obstacle course when Kimura returned, and Rikyu ducked aside quickly, acting in a fashion as to not draw attention, which has been known to work too well.
