Exam Battle 3: Raye and Mina's Girls' School Battle

Mina, Amy, Bunny and Raye are all over at Lita's apartment studying for their high school entrance exams. When they wrap up, Lita invites them all to spend the night, but Raye decides not to as she has to wake up early for meditation. Mina is jealous of how elegant and refined Raye acts. She thinks Raye has it better, from more boys interested in her to not having to take entrance exams. Mina even thinks her all-girls school would be like a giant slumber party, but Raye says it's actually strict and boring. She invites Mina to stop by for lunch to see for herself.

When Mina arrives at the school, she uses her compact from her days as Sailor V to disguise herself as a classmate of Raye. When they go to the cafeteria to eat Mina is so excited she keeps getting them into trouble with the nuns. After they eat, Mina joins a group of girls playing volleyball. Her serve manages to break a window and then rolls over to an old well. While Raye goes to apologize, MIna retrieves the ball, and peeks into the well, which covers her with dust and debris. Raye comments on her messy appearance, which seems to be the last straw as Mina is convinced she isn't as good as her "perfect" friend and storms off.

Raye begins chasing after her friend, but a spirit comes out of the old well and possesses her body. A younger student approaches her idol older student to give Raye some cookies, but the possessed Raye calls the girl a "wild thing" and proceeds to attempt to kiss the younger student. Another student sees and cries out which turns the possessed Raye's attention to her.

Mina sees the strange behavior and transforms to Sailor Venus. She stops Raye and demands to see her true form. The spirit briefly immerges and announces her name is Barbara S. Then, the possessed Raye lunges at Venus to try and kiss her. Using Raye's "Aku Ryo Tai San" talisman, Venus exorcises the spirit. The other girls see the super-heroine and begin crowding around Sailor Venus. Maybe Mina can fit in at Raye's elegant, all-girls school afterall.
