In class, she did something unexpected - criticizing the teachers in class. This behavior caused her to complained by the teacher in the office.

Friagne and Marianne.
Meanwhile, in the Yoda Department Store, Marianne wanted to get the Mystes for the Treasure Tool. She didn't want to just be loved by Friagne - she wanted to show her love to him as well. Friagne allowed her to fight the Flame Haze for the Mystes. After that, Shana went out to buy melon bread and eat it on the roof top while Yuji stayed in class, thinking about something. Later, the same Rinne from before, using the Regular Sharp, attacked Shana once more. Friagne showed up to heal Marianne and Regular Sharp, talk to Alastor and Shana before leaving. Yuji shared his Power of Existence so Shana could repair the damages without sacrificing any of the classmates.

She noticed Yuji's Torch restored in the midnight on that same day when he went down the ladder to take a spoon to stir the coffee.
