Kawaki & Himawari Academy Arc
Kikuchiyo accompanied Mimi to the Academy when she began attending it. During a practice pitting the class-mates against each other, Mimi decided to not partake in it. When Ehō Norimaki scolded her for, calling her lazy, and snatching away her candy bar, Kikuchiyo bit the boy in retaliation.

Later, when her class was taken to an abandoned island for an exercise, their teacher Hana, who was an assassin targeting Kae Yukiwari, baited Kikuchiyo with his food to injure him with a trap, diminishing the group's ability to search the island. Soon after, it was learned that Hana was an assassin who captured Kae. The class worked together to find Kae hidden in a cave. Kawaki revealed himself to be a full-fledged shinobi assigned to protect Kae, forbidding them from facing Hana. As the students reluctantly accepted Kawaki's order, they worked on another method to help.
