At the beginning of the episode, there is excitement and tension, as the final round of the ranking tournament at the Hebrion Academy is about to begin. The focus is on Desir Herrman and his group, who are determined to rank among the top 30 and advance to the Alpha Class. This ambition has sparked envy among some members of the Alpha Class, especially Azest Kingscrown, who sees Desir as a major rival.

Before the tournament, Desir, Romantica Eru, and Pram Schnaizer pursue an unconventional preparation strategy. Desir instructs them to study history and explains that the finals will take place in a Shadow World, where historical events will be reenacted. The selection of study material is not based on intuition but on his knowledge of the specific Shadow World they will be entering.

Meanwhile, Azest Kingscrown, a member of the elite squad Blue Moon, is appointed as the leader of the freshmen. Her task is to ensure that Desir's faction does not succeed. Doneta Hadoon and Percival Asengunitz, also from Blue Moon, seek personal revenge against Romantica and Pram, respectively.

The day of the tournament arrives, and the academy is in an uproar. The participants are informed that they must resolve a specific incident in the Shadow World to escape it. Magical attacks, disruptions, and other methods are permitted, but lethal damage leads to disqualification. The top nine players will earn the title of Solo Player.

As the gates to the Shadow World open, Desir's group steps inside with determination. Soon, they encounter an Alpha Class student who underestimates Desir. A magical duel ensues, testing Desir's strategic prowess and his ability to reverse spells. The Alpha Class student is quickly disqualified, reducing the number of participants to 29.

The episode ends with the promise of further intense clashes and challenges in the Shadow World. The next episode, titled "Magical Beasts," hints at more trials and adventures for Desir and his group as they strive to achieve their goal in the ranking tournament.
