Summary
Hayate starts his day by removing his bandages. He later sees Nagi looking at a piece of paper about a track meet at Hakuo Academy. Nagi decides to skip school on the day of the track meet, but Maria tells her that she should join the track meet but Nagi ignores her every time she says something. While Hayate was having breakfast with Maria, he decides to convince Nagi to join the track meet. At Hakou's school grounds, Hayate starts to train Nagi, but after running 50 meters, Nagi collapses and runs out of energy. Klaus appears and states that if Hayate can't motivate his mistress he is unfit to be a butler. Nagi tells Klaus that she will come first place and prove that Hayate is a great butler, with Klaus saying that if Nagi doesn't keep her word Hayate will be fired. Nagi tells Hayate that it will be impossible to win if Hinagiku participates in the event, so Hayate goes to her to ask if she is participating in the events. Hinagiku confirms this and also tells him that there is a freestyle marathon that she doesn't know about. She tells him that the winner of that marathon will win a prize of 150 million yen. Yukiji hears this and decides to join. Meanwhile, Nagi is struggling hard on her first push-up.
