I feel like the South Wind girl is being set up as a mid-boss for someone to defeat. Perhaps she'll take out Yuki, then Saki goes all hax on her before going back to losing on purpose. That way they could show Saki taking out her hax without actually needing to make Saki a finalist. It could be one of the other girls facing her as well. I wouldn't mind a "everyone's happy" ending with the 3 finalists being part of the team finalists either in this series.
