The main ADEN seed competition for the Virtual Grid Awards begins! Beginning with Miracle, all of the members of PathTLive safely made it through the pre-selection and are reminiscing about the encounters and the numerous trials that they have faced to get to this point. However, for some reason, Quan seems out of sorts. Meanwhile, Auris, headmaster at ADEN academy, explains the rules of the main ADEN seed contest, which affords the winners the right to participate in the Virtual Grid Awards. Miracle and the other members of PathTLIve, who couldn't hide their suprise at what Auris told them, found themselves in front of those who had finished towards the top of the rankings in the preliminary competition...

It has been decided that the judgement criteria for the Virtual Grid Award ADEN seed finals will be a 'Unit Battle'. While Miracle naturally wants to participate with the other four members of PathTLive, each member has their own feelings about what to do. Against this backdrop, Quan is invited to join BRT5, a strong unit comprised of top ranking members. Quan, who posseses a strong desire to change, worries about the path that she should take. PathTLive or BRT5? Which will Quan choose? At the same time, someone unexpected reaches out to Miracle.

Miracle, Chris, Noelle and Riz have come together to watch a BRT5 stream. To their surprise, Quan was unveiled as a new member of BRT5. Miracle, who had taken it for granted that PathTLive would complete in the ADEN seed finals as a unit, could not hide her upset. Seperately, Chris was dealing with her own complex feelings. In the midst of their gloominess, Miracle receives a message from an unexpected source. Miracle is invited to a specific place and invites Chris to follow her.

Quan has mixed feelings about Noelle joining BRT5. Noelle, who grew up in an elite family, had overcome her complex towards her own family through her involvement with Miracle……or so she thought. However, influenced by Quan, Noelle is struck once again by the complex that she was sure she had overcome. Riz contacts her, noticing that something is off. Where does Riz take Noelle..?! Meanwhile, Quan feels refreshed, but ends up watching Miracle and Niska’s live collaboration.

Miracle and Niska perform live together, which leaves all members of BRT5 with mixed feelings. While BRT5 seem disjointed at first glance, they are all heading towards the same goal. Against this backdrop, ADEN's culture festival 'CHEER UP' kicks off. As the name suggests, the culture festival also served as an event to support the ADEN Seed qualifiers. The qualifiers participate in games together, collaborate with one another in live performances and amicably spend time in each other's company despite being rivals. Zoe and BRT5's Sarah are actually childhood friends...

Miracle, who had been enjoying the culture festival with Chris, Noelle and Riz, is approached by Sofia who wants to tag along with them. However, for some reason, Chris reacts negatively and refuses the request. Meanwhile, in a card game developed by students on the XR technology course, Riz and Sofia will face off. It’s a battle of the wits between Riz, who researches and analyzes everything, and Sofia, who has been active as a programmer since she was a young girl. What sort of chemical reactions will it throw up?

While the ADEN culture festival is in full swing, Niska is alone running a brush across a canvas. She was remembering how Jessie told her she couldn't forgive her for leaving BRT5. Ximena realises that Jessie still is unable to accept that Niska left the group. Ximena invites Jessie to perform together with her, tells her how important it is to express how she feels, and helps her to communicate her feelings to Niska. Meanwhile, Quan is gradually being accepted by the members of BRT5, but something is still bothering her…

The culture festival after-party is about to begin. As part of it the "Butterfly Fire" event will be held. The data from the culture festival will be set upon the wings of a butterfly and deleted, like a funeral. It is said that if you write a wish on the butterfly and delete it then your wish will come true. Miracle and the girls write their own wishes on the butterflies. Other qualifiers were also devising their own desires at the after-party. Against this backdrop, Miracle makes a decision, inspired by her idol Kizuna Ai. Also, the units that will be entered into the finals are ultimately decided.

The main event has begun, and first up to perform is VICONIC. Can polar opposites Jua and Thea work together to make a hit performance?

Second up at the ADEN Seed finals is 3DM8, a three-piece unit comprised of Sofia, Zoe and Ximena. Different to VICONIC, who have been friends since childhood, this group met at ADEN and were formed specifically to get through the competition. Sofia, the brains of the group, posesses extraordinary skills and insight which she displays through actions like proposing suprising training methods. While Ximena is moved by the over-zealous Sofia, Zoe is entirely unimpressed. These girls just can't seem to get along.

Next up to perform after VICONIC and 3DM8 is PathTLive! Having witnessed the performances of the previous two highly accomplished units, Miracle and the girls are nervous but excited. The feelings of PathTLive members align in perfect harmony as they continue to create music together right up until the day of the performance. Meanwhile, in the headmaster's office , tension is brewing between Auris and Ada who have opposite ideas about the criteria that should be used to evaluate the competitors. Ultimately, emotions spill over between the two. Is this the biggest problem since the formation of PathTLive?! The bonds between the participating members save PathTLive from their crisis.

ADEN's network is subject to a cyber attack by an unknown entity and PathTLive, who were just about to finish their song, have all of their data deleted. Moreover, Miracle and the girls become unable to leave the venue. In order to escape, they risk all of their memories and indeed their very existence. Miracle and the girls are faced with a decision. Which path will they take? And what will become of the ADEN seed finals?
