In the twelfth episode, Will and his companions face a terrifying monster, the Grand Duke from the previous episode. Despite Sion's advanced spell, Iflamme Burdelyon, the creature remains unharmed. Will realizes that neither wand nor sword alone can defeat the monster and remembers Rosty's advice: "It's called staff and sword." Sion summons "Ignis Rooks," and Will's sword absorbs the spell, transforming into a magical flaming sword and delivering the decisive blow that defeats the Grand Duke.
Yet the victory is short-lived, as a horde of guardians approaches. Just when all hope seems lost, Aaron Masterias Oldking, the king of Magia Vander and the most powerful wand, appears. He annihilates the enemy with a mighty spell, "Loi Eluza," and praises the students for their efforts. Amid the admiration, Will notices a mysterious boy named Finn.
Meanwhile, Marze and Headless successfully complete their mission and avoid another confrontation. The exercise, in which only students participated, ends with eleven dead—all professors of the academy, but no casualties among the students. The survivors process the events, each coping with the trauma in their own way. Back at the academy, the group discusses the battle. They are fascinated by Will's newfound power, especially how his sword devoured Sion's magic. Will admits that he doesn't fully understand it himself.
Finn meets Caldron, the head of the Rigarden Mage Academy. He shows her a mage-killing weapon from the dungeon and expresses his concern about the eerie activities there. Finn asks about Will, emphasizing that swords are his domain. Caldron reveals that Will aspires to become a Magia Vander, an unheard-of goal for someone of his kind. Finn decides to take a personal interest in Will's journey.
Back at the academy, Sion challenges Will to a duel to test their abilities. Despite their doubts about whether they're ready, both are determined to proceed. As the school year comes to an end, the students prepare for their final exams. Will, eager to see Elfie again, is more motivated than ever to succeed.
