In order to visit the Spirit King, Anos and his team continue to go through trials provided by the Great Tree Spirit Enyunien. The next trial, “The staircase of Geunier” is a trial where they must choose the 5 correct paths out of the 20 paths before them, which appears to be a game entirely dependent on luck. However, thanks to the advice from Lena, Anos and the team individually made their ways to the top. Lay and Misa arrive to the Spirit King’s castle first, and engage in the final trial!

To investigate the dragon sighted in Azeshion, Anos and his friends visit the Hero Academy in the name of participating in an exchange program. Emilia teaches at the Hero Academy, but despite her efforts, Ledriano and the other students of the Hero Academy are rather unenthusiastic about the exchange. Furthermore, Zamira, the headmaster of the Hero Academy, issues a decree to slay the dragon. Yet, as Emilia resists his unreasonable order, the Hero Academy students begin to lose interest…

A horde of dragons approaches Azeshion! To protect their homeland with their own hands, the Hero Academy students set out to slay the dragons without the help of Anos and his friends. Under Emilia’s command, the Hero Academy students engage in a battle to the death. Meanwhile, Lay and Misa wind up in a predicament after being captured by Lysius…. Anos and the others head to the Underground World to take care of their own agenda. There, he learns that Ahide is controlling the Draconids.

Arriving in Giorhaze, capital of the Underground World Giordal, Anos follows a wary Erdomaid to a church. There, they obtain a Pledge Jewel which summons dragons. Furthermore, Erdomaid sees Naya’s aptitude and makes a pack with her after learning her plan. Anos hears about Ahide’s actions from the bishop of the church and decides to catch him before he meets the pope.
