In Episode 7, the "Crown-Attack" event reaches its climax as Julius Reinberg, a top ice mage, and Will Serfort face off against each other. Julius, eager to prove his superiority, employs the powerful spell Ars Weiss, one of the twelve secret ice magics developed by the legendary Elfaria. This spell, which creates icy duplicates of the caster, is an advanced technique that Julius takes pride in mastering.
However, during the battle, Will reveals his deep understanding of Elfaria's magic. He shocks Julius by informing him that Ars Weiss was actually created by Elfaria when she was just two years old. Will mentions this to emphasize that despite its impressive power, the magic has flaws and weaknesses that even a prodigy like Elfaria could not perfect at such a young age. Will's knowledge stems from his childhood with Elfaria—both grew up as orphans together—and he has studied her magic intensely, driven by admiration and the desire to catch up to her.
Julius, who considers himself superior, attempts to overwhelm Will by increasing the number of his duplicates. Yet, Will's intimate familiarity with the magic allows him to identify the real Julius among the duplicates by observing subtle signs like temperature differences and the formation of ice crystals, which indicate imperfect control. With this knowledge, Will outmaneuvers Julius, exposes his limits, and ultimately defeats him.
Just as Will seems to gain the upper hand, Wignall from Group 12, who had been lying in wait, snatches the crown and wins the competition by exploiting the distraction caused by the intense duel. This unexpected twist leaves the audience in shock.
Meanwhile, Elfaria, who has been observing the events, reflects on the battle and her past with Will. She is not seeking a successor but rather wishes for a "lonely sword" by her side.
