In Episode 11, Will and his companions face a powerful enemy—a 270-Credit Evil Grand Duke, who inexplicably appears on the 11th floor instead of the usual 25th. Finn explains the "One-Thousandth Rule" and points out the immense power of the monster, which is equivalent to that of a 270,000-Credit mage. The Grand Duke orders the smaller monsters to chase them, leading to a dangerous situation with no way out.
Will realizes that retreat is hopeless and proposes a daring plan to kill the Grand Duke. He believes that defeating the monster would break its dominion and open a path to escape the academy. Despite initial skepticism, especially from Julius, who doubts Will's inability to use magic, the team decides to trust his strategy. Will teaches Julius a secret magical technique from Elfie, which allows a summoning to continue even if interrupted, enabling them to cast advanced spells with long incantations.
The group launches a coordinated attack: Julius casts powerful ice spells while Colette, Sion, and Wignall support him with their magic. However, the Grand Duke's impenetrable wings and defensive barriers render their efforts futile. Lihanna attempts a swift strike, but it is thwarted by the monster's automatic barrier. Injured and aware of the futility of their attacks, Lihanna and Wignall consider sacrificing themselves to buy time for the others to escape.
Overwhelmed by fear and the loss of his protective goggles, Will briefly falters. Sion confronts him, reigniting his determination. Colette reveals that Will, despite his fears, possesses true courage—he is more afraid of running away than facing the danger. Will realizes that conventional methods are insufficient and concludes that they must cut off the Grand Duke's wings to defeat him.
After consulting with Colette and Sion, they renew their assault. Sion casts powerful fire magic, and Will, recalling a lesson about the connection between "staff and sword," decides to combine magic with his swordsmanship. At the critical moment, he charges his sword with Sion's fire spell and summons "Ignis Wis." This unprecedented fusion astonishes his companions and catches the attention of Edward and Workner in the academy.
