They were moving so fast that the crowd couldn't catch up. They go up into the library, and Marinette follows, and they both hit each other at the same time but Marinette claims Adrien is the winner. Kagami calls her Mom and says she didn't get a spot. Defeated Kagami gets akumatized and turns into Riposte and tries to fight Adrien. Ladybug almost got sliced but Adrien saved her, causing a sprained ankle on his left leg.''
