In this episode, the city is thrown into chaos by the sudden appearance of monstrous creatures. Shiki and Tomoe are concerned about the situation and consult with Makoto about their next steps. Makoto decides to continue observing the situation for now to better understand the unfolding events. As the threat escalates, Eva reports that the monsters are also wreaking havoc elsewhere in the city, leading to widespread panic. Makoto and his group consider their next moves, weighing the option of fleeing against the duty to intervene. Luria and Eva, who are also affected, agree that they are willing to sacrifice their old ties and their homeland for a chance at a fresh start, as they are pressured by the immediate danger.

Tomoe compares the chaotic scenario to the climax of a historical drama and suggests using the situation to earn gratitude—and possibly a reward—by heroically resolving the crisis. Meanwhile, Makoto decides not to confront the demons directly, as their loyalty and intentions remain uncertain, particularly highlighted by Rona's ambiguous actions and remarks.

The episode intensifies as Makoto's group reflects on the strategic implications of the monsters' mutations and their resistance to elemental attacks. The city's defenses are put to the test, revealing weaknesses and the urgent need for coordinated action by the strongest fighters—the Academy's Purple Cloaks.

Meanwhile, Makoto and Tomoe set out to rescue key figures trapped in the city, including nobles and the Academy's director, who are at a loss about how to handle the monster threat. Their mission is complicated by the need for an effective evacuation plan, which Tomoe attempts to facilitate using her advanced teleportation abilities. The scene shifts to a discussion among the nobles, who initially hesitate but are eventually convinced by a successful demonstration of Tomoe's teleportation skills. This demonstration drastically alters their perception, leading to a desperate rush to be evacuated first.

As the evacuation progresses, King Augus of Limia appears, focusing on preserving his kingdom's reputation and publicly managing the crisis. Mio teaches the students combat tactics to exploit the monsters' weaknesses, while Shiki enhances her physical abilities. The episode culminates in a critical moment where Abelia and Izumo jointly devise a risky strategy to defeat the monster in the arena—successfully.
