In Episode 8, the delicate balance in the Kingdom of Bauer between nobles and commoners is further disrupted. The episode begins with the aftermath of a confrontation between Master Dede, Prince Yu's servant, and Matt, a member of the commoner movement. Dede's use of magic in this conflict, which results in Matt's injury, sparks outrage among the students, particularly among the commoners.

The knights of the academy, including Rae Taylor, are tasked with calming the tensions. Rae speaks with Matt, who distrusts the nobility and the knights. Meanwhile, Claire François, another key figure, attempts to maintain order, but the situation escalates when the punishment for Dede's actions is announced: one week of house arrest. This lenient sentence ignites the anger of the student body, who then protest and demand justice.

The episode delves into the political landscape of the kingdom, revealing the complex relationships between the royal family, the nobility, and the church. Prince Yu's ties to the church and his potential involvement in the commoner movement are discussed.

A major revelation occurs when Rae confronts Lambert Aurousseau, the vice-captain of the academy's knights. She accuses him of manipulating events, including tampering with Dede's wand to trigger the magical discharge. Rae's confrontation with Lambert uncovers a intricate web of personal and political motives, including forbidden love and family ties.

The episode reaches its climax when Lambert, under pressure, summons a chimera—a creature with multiple magical attributes. Rae and Claire join forces to face the chimera.
