I did like that she basically admitted that if another student had won it she would have stolen it from them.

We also got to see some new techniques from Yumiella this episode. Specifically, this is the premiere of Yumiella punch. A move so quick that only Captain Adolf was able to see it.

However, our dear protagonist doesn't seem to be realizing how close they have actually gotten. This was the other image I had debated using as the lead screen grab:
