Egos creates a brilliant, intellectual kaijin, who only wants to study. Requesting study partners, Egos kidnaps the most gifted youngsters around. Battle Fever moves to protect one gifted boy, Hojo Tatsuya, heir to the Hojo Trust Company. So Maria disguises herself as his tutor, but winds up getting caught along with Tatsuya. Although Sarome recognizes her, the kaijin spares her life as Tatsuya insists that they keep her as their tutor. When they are alone, Tatsuya reveals he’s not really gifted and was just faking it for his reputation.
