"The Hero King" is back with a new episode, kicking off a fresh story arc. This time, we dive into the Academy Arc, featuring training sessions, eccentric teachers, and intense rivalries that hint at a mysterious underlying thread. The addition of Leone, Leon's sister and a former victim of his anti-Highlander actions, makes things even more exciting.

The episode begins with Inglis and Rani visiting the Cathedral of Almen, where they witness the fascinating sight of the frozen monster Prismer. Though Inglis is captivated, Rani urges her to keep quiet to avoid trouble. Chaos erupts when magical beasts invade the city, and the soldiers order everyone to evacuate. Inglis is eager to fight back, but Rani hesitates. That’s when Leone steps in, battling the beasts alone and warning Inglis not to fight without a Rune or artifact. Inglis reveals a higher-level Rune to Leone, and the two defeat the beasts together.

Later, the group—consisting of Rani, Rafael, and Leone—discusses how Leone was once a holy knight who betrayed his country and fled. They talk about the Floating Circle and the vanished magistrate who transformed into a magical beast, deciding to search for answers together. Their destination is the Royal Knight Academy in the capital.

At the academy, the students attend an orientation led by Headmistress Miliera, who challenges them to a game of tag with a delicious prize up for grabs. The goal is to avoid being caught for ten minutes. Inglis is the last one standing and wins a month of free meals. Liselotte is unhappy with Leone’s enrollment and requests a room change. Rani offers Liselotte a spot in her room, leading to an unexpected sleepover.
