The Legend of the Legendary Heroes

Ryner works his fingers to the bone for Sion's birthday celebration. When he later gets the chance the ditch the office, he runs into Milk remember that she gave him an invitation for her party days ago. Claugh has an idea to prepare fireworks for the upcoming festival, despite it could take six months to make it happen. When the party begins at night, fireworks burst into the sky, as even Milk has a birthday of her own.

After Riphal finds out that she is a spy, he chains Kiefer in an underground dungeon. Ryner and Ferris return to Roland, only to be locked in Sion's office to help file many stacks of paperwork. Milk finally awakens from Froaude's spell, only to find that her parents, very dear to her, had been murdered. Ryner is very concerned for Sion overworking himself.

Both Ferris and Sion contemplate about their relationships with Ryner. After Riphal surprisingly asks Kiefer for her hand in marriage, Kuu arrives with a wounded Sui, who mentions the name of Ryner, to which Kiefer is troubled about. Calne Kaiwal gives Claugh a written synopsis of Ryner, explaining how and why he had been sent to train in a military academy regimen.

Both Ryner and Milk are reported missing, which raises speculations. Sion sends a task force led by Claugh to pursue a supposed Alpha Stigma bearer in Estabul. Meanwhile, Kiefer, beginning her research in Gasark about the Iino Doue, is interrupted by Riphal, who offers to have tea with her. Tiir Rumibul, who is easily able to consume flesh and absorb magic, cuts off Claugh's arm and slaughter much of the task force.

Ryner and Ferris somehow get lost at sea, washing up on a coast of Roland, briefly running into Luke and Milk. Ryner and Ferris set out in an attempt to assassinate the king who caused all their troubles, but to no avail. The next morning, Sion, after seeing a book fall from over the bedroom door, finds Ryner sleeping in his bed.

The magic knights of Roland killed Kiefer's older sister and captured Kiefer's younger sister four years ago, which then urged her to become a military double agent. After Kiefer saves two defenseless children in the midst of war against Stohl, Riphal Edia uses aggressive tactics of invasion by using a long sword hero relic in exchange for his left eye, claiming that he is waging wars to ultimately end the fighting against Gastark.

Sion promotes several of his supporting nobles to bolster loyalty among his allies. Despite Milk failing to carry out her mission, Rahel Miller allows her to retain her position as captain. The magic knights of Runa tries to activate the Alpha Stigma within Arua by torturing his parents.

Iris reports that Ryner and Ferris should apprehend the dragon that was recently released, but they do not know that Sion recommended them not to pass through the forest. The two run into the devious duo Sui and Kuu, who have possession of the blade hero relic that was left behind.

At the Nelpha fortress, Ryner and Ferris find nothing but a box of tax evasion papers. Both Sui Orla and Kuu Orla first believed that the box contained treasure, but they are dismayed as well. Milk tries to pursue Ryner away from Ferris inside a forest, but she is easily defeated and tied up. Ryner finds a hero relic in the form of a blade buried underground, using it to prevent the Nelpha army from capturing Milk. However, in the midst of confusion, the blade transforms into a dragon and chases the army away across the countryside. When Milk nearly gives up the hope of carrying out her duty, Luke Stokkart reminds her of the reason why she became the leader of her taboo hunter squad.

Having traveled to Nelpha, Ryner and Ferris run into Toale Nelphi while researching the hero relics in the town library. Meanwhile, dissent in Roland escalates to the assassination of Fiole Folkal, a commoner who was made secretary to the king, reported during a royal banquet. While Ryner and Ferris stays at Toale's house for dinner, Ryner meets Iris Eris, sister of Ferris, who deems herself to be a the only source of contact to Sion. Soon Miran Froaude arrives, offering to aid Sion for whatever means necessary, even to such desperate measures.

Ferris and her little sister, Iris, are interrogating one of the nobles behind the plot to assassinate Sion, when suddenly, Ferris’s brother appears and kills him. He tells her that they must decide whether Sion would be suitable as the king, and that he couldn’t possibly return alive after heading into battle and facing 50 magic knights. Then, as suddenly as he appeared, he vanished into this air. Meanwhile, the students are preparing the base for the battle ahead. Ryner is meant to be setting up tents ready for nightfall, but as usual, he is tired, lazy, and lies on the grass, refusing to help. Ryner walks over to and sits beside her. After begging Ryner to run away with her, she confesses her love for him. He believes it’s all a hoax, and tells her to quit joking around at a time like this, during the war. She agrees, and bids him farewell, walking through the tall grass. As soon as she leaves, the Magic Knights of Estabul attack the camp, and...

This episode follows the story of Ryner Lute, a lazy, sleepy student from Roland Empire Magician’s Academy. While Ryner is searching for relics of the so-called ‘legendary heroes’, he is confronted with soldiers from the Nelpha Empire, who use Nelphan magic in an attempt to kill Ryner, thinking he is a spy. But Ryner, using his Alpha Stigma, an ability in which he uses his eyes to analyse forms of magic, copies their magic, and counterattacks. Not wanting the enemy to learn and copy any secrets of their own magic, the Nelphan soldiers stop attacking. Suddenly, Ferris Eris, a young, beautiful girl from the Swords-Clan comes to Ryner’s aid. Though she was too late to stop the attack, she begins to explain to the Nelphans that Ryner couldn’t possibly be a spy. While Ryner was busy arguing with Ferris about “what does it make you, following that fop around”, the Nelphans attack yet again, this time Ferris showing them not to mess with a swordswoman.
