In Episode 8, the characters become embroiled in a fierce battle in the Shadow World as part of the ongoing ranking tournament at the Hebion Academy.

The episode begins with the Blue Moon Party, which includes Azest Kingscrown, discussing their strategy to stop the Privius Clocktower, which is creating monsters. Suddenly, they are attacked, leading to a confrontation with another group, the Red Dragons. Azest repels the assault with her Ice Wall spell, while the Red Dragons boast about their leader's prowess in flame magic.

Desir, Romantica, and Pram devise their own strategy. Desir plans to use the chaos to his advantage, hoping to put the Alpha Class students under pressure. However, his plan fails because disqualifications are not announced.

Azest confronts Desir, recognizes his strategy, but expresses her disdain. She challenges him to prove his worth as an individual fighter by facing her in combat. Meanwhile, Romantica and Pram battle Doneta Hadoon and Percival Asengunitz from the Blue Moon Party.

Romantica fights Doneta, who mocks her as a commoner and underestimates her abilities. Despite her low mana, Romantica is determined to fight. Pram battles Parzival, who is surprised that Pram is stronger and more skilled than the last time they fought.

The episode features intense magical battles, with each character pushed to their limits. Azest and Desir engage in a thrilling duel, where Azest's powerful Winter Fist clashes with Desir's Stone Quarry. Romantica uses her cunning to defeat Doneta, while Pram gains the upper hand by taking advantage of Parzival's focus on him.

By the end of the episode, the characters are still locked in their respective battles, and the outcome of the tournament remains uncertain.
