In the first race, you will battle a mix of E and E+ rank characters. There is one exception, however. An S-rank Mihono Bourbon will participate in the race. For most players, this will be their first encounter with a character of such high stats.
Fortunately, you only need to reach second place to unlock the next episode, which should be easy enough with a decently built Medium Aptitude character, such as Oguri Cap. There's no need to beat Mihono Bourbon because there aren't any bonus rewards for doing so. Rest assured, this race isn't as hard as it seems.

Grass Wonder (Stone-Piercing Blue) Rarity: SR |
From this point forward, this race and all subsequent ones will be long distance. Make sure your character has enough stamina to last the entire race. Otherwise, invest in stamina passives such as Swinging Maestro or Pure Heart.

Proper stat allocation becomes more important when facing opponents as high as D rank because other characters may have different optimal stat requirements.
Regardless, Speed and Stamina will still be the two most important stats, and you can allocate the rest depending on how they affect the character you wish to build.

Grass Wonder (Stone-Piercing Blue) Rarity: SR |
In the fourth and final race, you will be competing against four competitors in C rank. This race is the most challenging of the entire chapter. Continue to increase your speed and adjust your stamina allocation accordingly to ensure your character does not run out of stamina towards the end.
It is noteworthy that Gold Ship will also be participating in the race, albeit with a rather low rank of F+. While she doesn't pose much of a threat in comparison to the other trainees, her participation prohibits the use of Gold Ship for entry into the race.
Completing episodes 1 to 13 and securing a top two position in the first race and a first-place finish in the rest of the races will result in a total earning of 480 Carats.

Completing the chapter will reward the player with the SSR Rice Shower (Showered in Joy) support card, another useful support card that specializes in Stamina. A decent stamina support card, that also has some debuffs available, which you can choose to spec into for team trials.
