shouting at shizuku accusing her of inappropriate behavior shizuku explains that it was just an innocent gesture between siblings but Stella retorts that it didn't seem so innocent when shizuku kissed him in front of everyone the other day Stella then asks icky if she can hold his hand as well acting like a pathetic loser she is but shizuku quickly interjects telling her that a servant should not

and pathetic for her behavior while Alice supports her and encourages her saying that he will cheer for her later in the men's restroom Aki has a chat with Alice about his sister saying that she's

going on icky speculates that the people inside the mall might have been taken as hostages by the group Men in response Alice summons his sword The Hermit of darkness and explains that he can control Shadows with it allowing him to move around within the Shadows taking advantage of this ability Alice creates a shadow portal and takes icky to the security room through it upon reaching the security room they find the guards tied up and unconscious likely due to Anesthesia Akai promptly informs his school director about the situation after Consulting with the other council members the director grants icky and his friends free reading to capture the kidnappers and handle the situation meanwhile the kidnappers have taken all the women and children inside the mall as hostages including Stella and shizuku shizuku warns Stella not to draw attention to herself as she has a plan however one of the kidnappers starts bullying a lady and her child comes to her defense by throwing an ice cream at

and intervenes addressing Stella as a princess he berates the kidnapper for harassing the child and decides to punish the mother instead Stella fueled by her determination to protect the innocent summons her fire sword and launches a powerful attack against Bishop however to her surprise Bishop counters her attack by using his judgment ring an attribute of crime and punishment that has the ability to absorb any attack directed at him converting the attack's energy into a form of punishment unprepared for such a formidable defense Stella's attack is absorbed by the Judgment ring Bishop then retaliates by punching her in the gut sending her flying through the air before landing hard on the ground he coldly explains the capabilities of his Rings emphasizing that they are designed to turn the force of criminal actions into punishments he mocks her for trying to be a hero and presents her with a way to save the hostages but for that she has to remove her clothes in front of everyone she proceeds to do as he says to save the others and everyone looks away meanwhile icky is furious at the boss and tries to break free from Alice's Shadow bind which pins his shadow to the wall so he can save Stella from the shameful situation however Alice stops icky from interfering explaining that shizuku can create a magical barrier without anyone noticing bite this Ika can't bear to watch Stella in this condition and continues to struggle to free himself just then shizuku releases her powerful wall of wave attack creating a magical barrier around the hostages Bishop orders the kidnappers to shoot everyone but nothing happens all thanks to shizuku's magical barrier seizing a calculated risk icky manages to attack bisho by running in random serples before executing his secret lightning sword attack which Cuts bisho's arm he explains that his sword is faster than Bishop's Vision making it impossible for him to absorb the attack Alice and Stella finish off the other kidnappers and upon seeing her safe icky Embraces Stella in relief and apologizes shizuku arrives with her clothes and asks Stella to get ready while admiring her courage for standing up to the boss just when we think everything is back to normal a woman from the group takes hold of a hostage and threatens to harm her Bishop laughs evilly revealing that one of his members hit him on the hostages just in case however the situation takes a surprising turn when a mysterious guy named kirihara appears out of nowhere and eliminates the woman using his hazy moon laser attack to everyone's surprise

annoyance Aki approaches kirihara and thanks him for saving the hostages but kirihara Tans and insults icky's Powers angered by this Stella steps in to defend ikki but he stops her from escalating the situation carry her laughs and reveals that eki is not as powerful as he claims to be recounting a past encounter where icky apparently ran away from a battle against him leaving Stella shocked he then adds that icky's first opponent in the upcoming competition is none other than himself the next day the competition begins and Stella's first opponent is momotani also known as the heavy tank due to his formidable defense he possesses a very rare armored device known as Goliath which releases a tremendous amount of power in close combat situations the audience applauds Moma Tani for his combat skills and seniority in the competition believing he will be a tough adversary but she faces him with unwavering confidence and intimidates him to give in as a result she has declared the winner shocking everyone improving her prowess as a formidable contender in the competition after the battle shizuku and Alice discussed Stella's performance Alice Praises Stella but shizuku dismisses it saying that defeating a weak opponent isn't something to brag about just then Stella joins her conversation and congratulates them on their victories as well later iki watches a video of cure Harris fighting skills along with Stella and is shocked by his abilities asks if kirihara was using an area invisible technique a method that makes one's presence and smell undetectable essentially creating a perfect camouflage Aki confirms that it's a feature of kirihara's weapon which gives him a tricky advantage Stella expresses her dislike for cure era's fighting style which involves attacking enemies from a safe distance using stealth camouflage icky agrees saying that if Stella were to face kirihera in battle he would likely withdraw as her wide range attacks would easily counter his stealth and area invisible tactics he then reveals that kirihera usually avoids fighting opponents who utilize wide range combat attacks like Stella and that kirahara has earned the nickname the hunter because of his sneaky tactics she disapproves of kirahara's cowardly approach referring to him as a chicken but also acknowledges that he can prove to be a formidable opponent against icky she expresses concern for his safety and asks if he will be okay facing him icky reassures her stating that he has found a way to defeat kirahara and is confident he will emerge Victorious later while on a determined run ikki encounters Alice who inquires if there was any history of bludge between him and kirihara Aki size and opens up to Alice about his past and tells him that last year his family who had connections with the previous School director sought a way to expel him from the school Kerry Harris saw this as an opportunity to Target him and began bullying him challenged him to a duel to prove his worth but he was not interested in participating despite icky's reluctance carriera persistently pestered and attacked him repeatedly even when icky was unarmed and unwilling to engage in a fight as a result he wasn't punished or expelled by the school director after hearing this Alice expresses sympathy and wishes him luck before leaving as the battle approaches Stella asks icky if he wants to watch ongoing battles but he replies that he will be in the waiting area focusing on his strategies in the waiting area he receives instructions from a digital screen warning him that the competition battle is not a simulation and can cause serious harm the screen asks him to proceed only if he fully understand the consequences and he confidently pushes the button to approve his participation suddenly a girl dressed in a red kimono mocks in for making hasty decisions but he responds that he is confident in his abilities and has no hesitation he recognizes her as sikyo a demon princess from the top league and she is thrilled that he knows about her out of nowhere she hugs him and offers to give him special private lessons that night however their conversation is rudely interrupted by the director who questions sikhil about her misconduct against icky and reminds her about the match she was supposed to supervise sekyo who is supposed to be a new instructor tries to hide behind Aki but the director drags her away from him as the match commences EK thinks back to his childhood and the first time he met Stella the announcer enthusiastically welcomes everyone to the match and much to seiko's annoyance she is tasked with the duty of being the commentator kirihara enters the arena with confidence receiving cheers from the crowd icky even steps into the arena and the battle begins kirihara uses his area invisible technique to attack icky from different directions all the while mocking and taunting him despite the challenge icky manages to deflect most of kirihara's laser attacks skillfully tracing their origin to locate him however Kerry Harris suddenly disappears and announces that he will inform ikki about where he will strike before actually attacking him with this new strategy kirihara manages to land several blows on icky's body and as a result icky suffers serious injuries from The Unexpected assault he explains that he can now use his our invisibility on his laser attack thus icky won't be able to deflect them like previously seeing ikigang badly attacks Stella becomes angry and wonders why he didn't attack first however Alice explains that icky was likely nervous which makes Stella realize the truth and feel guilty for not recognizing it earlier back at the arena kirihara continues his Relentless attacks on icky and decides to reveal to everyone the condition he made with a new director for his graduation the condition is that eki must win the Seven Star Festival battle otherwise he won't be allowed to graduate

delivers a fatal blow and icky collapses to the ground while kirihara mockingly calls him the worst one the crowd joins in laughing and chanting worse one as well and race Stella's fiery Aura flares up and she demands everyone to shut up and stop making fun of her favorite night she then encourages iki not to give up and upon hearing her words he finds the determination to get back on his feet and thanks her before preparing to counter-attack kirihera he realizes that he needs to rely on his imperfect technique into shura the counter kirihara's attacks utilizing his perfect vision he sees through kirihara's moves and successfully defeats him emerging as the winner however the strain of the intense battle takes its toll and icky collapses on the ground sekio explains to everyone that eki used his sword stealing technique which enables him to understand his opponent's logic and use it against them just like he did with Stella during her mock battle later in the hospital Stella

exceptionally well winning five consecutive matches and thus re-establishing himself as a formidable opponent shedding the reputation of being the worst one the audience Praises him referring to him as the uncrowned sword King later after one of his matches the reporter girl kagami and her friend approach him and express their wish to learn swordsmanship from him and without hesitation he agrees

relationship seeing him getting the affections of so many girl the boys in his class also start to envy him and decide to bully him when the class begins instructor Yuri Chan enters but before she can start teaching she vomits red liquid in the class again causing panic among the students and leading to the dismissal of the class back in their room Stella expresses her frustration to icky saying that he is too generous and should prioritize spending more time with her instead of teaching others however icky being someone oblivious doesn't fully understand her real concerns and casually responds that he doesn't mind helping others just as Stella is about to express her desire for a more involved relationship she sees that Ikea has fallen asleep which further fuels her anger and frustration the following day eki teaches the girls about balancing on one leg a Chinese martial art technique to improve core strength he explains that during a fight moreway is put on one leg than

face an enemy he knows he can't beat he insists that he will continue to fight fairly with all his strength even if he doesn't win Ayes disagrees with him and argues that Justice that doesn't produce results and is nonsense she then summons her sword and falls back from the roof icky rushes to her Aid and uses his ultimate idoshura attack to save her after the incident she reveals that she tricked

to her he cautions her that her actions might bring disgrace to her family and herself but she remains steadfast stating that she may not be a skilled swords woman but she will ensure that she wins the match no matter what later he returns to his room and collapses on a sleeping Stella waking her up initially she thinks he might be up to something naughty but upon realizing that he can't even stand she rushes him to the hospital he wakes up in the hospital and sees shizuko and Alistair along with Stella all of them concerned for his well-being and wishing him a speedy recovery he gets up startled thinking he missed the match but Stella assures him that he still has time just then the director enters the room and takes him away for an investigation and questioning about the event that took place icky firmly refuses to discuss what happened and informs the director that he is willing to take responsibility for the damages caused to the building and accept his punishment suspicious the director asks if he is covering for someone the director reveals that a few years ago ayaz's father was unable to even hold a sword after his one-on-one battle with Corrado who took all their land and building after the battle he explains that kaido has been in a coma since then ayas is now driven by the desire to get back everything that was taken from her family by Corrado and she sees the battle Festival as her last chance to regain her family's honor later icky reflects on ayasa's determination to win and Alice tells him that he believes she is now like a desperate Beast turn into the edge he asks Stella to come with him and seeks to understand how to defeat is Alice provides some insight but ayas's abilities remain largely unknown soon the battle begins and icky faces as in the arena he summons his sword immediately and she asks sin of his forgiven her yet and summons her scarless sword he swiftly jumps up to attack her but she uses a mysterious attack that cuts him in various parts of his body out of nowhere everyone in the audience including Stella is confused about what kind of abilities Ayes possesses no one knows of her abilities because until this year she didn't participate in any battle and the battle she won before this was all because of her swordsmanship without using her magical abilities icky seems to be at a disadvantage but he still attacks her she then uses her mysterious attack and tells him it's her Taste of wind scratch attack which involves using her device to create invisible whirlwinds and traps on the battlefield the opening of the wound is her device's special ability and she has placed several hundred invisible sword cuts on the battlefield however this is against the competition's rules and she is lucky that no one has realized it yet he skillfully Dodges her attack and manages to avoid her tricks is surprised by this and wonders that he has found out about her tactics determined to win before he fully realizes her attack pattern she attacks him furiously and he collapses on the ground on his knees he realizes that one more attack from her can open the wound further and injure his vital organs leading to his defeat so to counter her he uses a special technique called irregular guarding and thinks back to when he requested his instructor Yuri who would be the supervisor in the mash Overlook if I is violated any rules during the battle despite the potential negative impact on his tournament prospects he insisted on this request unknowing of this is continues to attack him fiercely and he tells her that she is completely losing herself by not only ignoring his lessons but also her own abilities trying to be an evil person which she is not he encourages her to fight fairly with pride but she tells him that no amount of fairness and pride saved her father and starts shouting like crazy determined to help her regain her Pride he faces her head on and counters all her attacks using his perfect vision she realizes that she needs to be faster than his vision to win and thinks back to all the misfortunes her family faced this year she attacks him with determination however he used a

badman match icky asks the white lady Canada why they are here and she responds that they have to work for the student council and asks if he is here for the same reason he realizes was shock that she and Stella have been tricked by the director later Stella is made to clean the floor of the training camp and the umbrella lady informs her that the training camp will take place here only after a month until then they all have to clean the entire camp in preparation Stella regrets coming and realizes that the student council's job is more boring than she thought everyone is cleaning with great

increasingly tired and unwell Aki takes care of her and suggests returning to the camps and she isn't improving she tells him that she is feeling dizzy and nauseous and even questions him in horror if the kiss they shared the other day could have got her pregnant icky reassures her that it's not possible and wonders if she is just playing the innocent girl or being foolish He suggests that she might have caught a cold but Stella admits that she has never had one before and feels that her body is not cooperating with her but before he could take her to the camp the training starts so he takes her to a mountain lodge instead icky continues to care for Stella and checks for a fever just as he predicted she has a high fever after comforting her they talk about their relationship and icky expresses his desire to proudly talk about their relationship to both of their families just then he's interrupted by a phone call from the student council members who are concerned about their

back in to protect Stella he carries her to safety under a tree before facing off against the giant rock monster summoning his sword iki attacks the monster but to his surprise it splits into smaller rock monsters making it difficult for him to defeat them the monsters attack him and head towards Stella next just then Renren arrives and rescues Stella passing her icky the rest of the student council arrives and fights the rock monsters acne speculates that the monsters must be controlled by a magical Knight yudakata joins him and explains that this has to be the work of a person using the steel wire ability he further explains that individuals with a steel wire ability use magical strings to remotely control inorganic substances like these rocks suddenly the president of the council topatoa arrives and joins the fight she explains that no matter how far the steel wire is used they're all connected by the same Powers as the monster making them traceable Tope uses her Thunder slash attack to defeat the rock monsters and icky is astonished by her Incredible strength and abilities her powerful attack travels through the magical string injuring the steel wire user who is still away from the scene eki Marvel's ever prowess as one of the top four finalists from the previous year's battles and the strongest Knight of the academy meanwhile shizuko receives a message revealing that her next opponent in the Seven Star Battle will be Toka Toda and finds this news amusing the next week shizuku takes a trip down her memory lane reminiscing about her childhood she remembers how adults forgive mistakes in front of power but her brother icky never bowed down to power it inspired her to be strong at that time she didn't know anything about the harshness or coldness of the Solitude he was bearing as everyone in her family treated him like he never existed so no matter what happens she will fall in his footsteps and prove her strength by winning a match against Toca to in the Seven Star Battle festival later that day during lunch icky Stella and Alice discuss Toka Toto's Powers after reading an article about her Alice questions icky about Toca but he replies that he didn't get to talk to her much and only witnessed a fraction of her power during her battle with the rock monster but even that was enough to confirm the rumors that she was very powerful Stella worries that shizuko might lose and Alice tells her that she's having mock battles with upperclassmen who are lightning users to prepare for her battle with Toca he further explains that shizuko's ability to control magical power at a very high level allows her to create Ultra Pure Water that doesn't conduct lightning countering the natural disadvantaged water has against lightning despite this icky is still worried about shizuko and although he wants her to win he doesn't want her to be hard on herself later shizuku shares her feelings with Alice expressing her love for iki and her desire to be strong to help him she vows to show over strength in the upcoming match and prove herself afterwards the battle between shizuku and Toka begins they face each other in the arena the commentator announces that Toca is the number one on the ranking list and tells the audience that she is so fast that one can avoid her and her golden lightning flash attack will strike her opponent in a blink of an eye shizuku summons her sword first and Toca follows suit by summoning her Thunder sword she is recruiting's back to her childhood how she loves her brother and is determined to win for a while neither of them moves and simply stare at each other confusing the audience and the commentators instructor sekio who is the supervisor of this match explains to the commentator that the candidates are waiting to see how their opponent will move as they are both strong enough to be a seven star champion but the one who moves carelessly will lose icky knows that shizuku doesn't want to make the first move in this match because Toca has the strongest weapon as she can use in close range he reveals to Stella that her Noble art was so strong and intense that Toca was nicknamed after it as the ray Curie a super electromagnetic sword drawing technique he explains that in the past Toca used this technique to defeat many of her opponents once she draws the sword and uses the technique one can be sure that she will slash her opponent down and no one has been able to survive her close range attacks before shizuku creates a protective barrier by creating an ice field Toca instantly avoids this and makes a counter-attack from long distance as predicted by shizuku she summons a giant wave and sends water bullets across toga who deflects all the water bullets with her Thunder sword and hits back at the wave she continues attacking and her lightning speed becomes apparent icky explains to Stella that to keep shizuku's wave technique going she has to generate Ultra Pure Water on the other hand Toka only has to keep on attacking with her lightning suddenly shizuku uses her ice to hold Toka in one place and launches a huge ice attack in her but token breaks free from the ice and everyone cheers for them for giving such an extraordinary battle Toca wonders how shizuku was able to counter-attack and trap her in the ice as it is impossible for shizuku to see through her magical power control suddenly with a blink of an eye Toka moves close to shizuku and launches into a series of attacks against her barely dodging them Toka does it again and this time it lands on shizuku injuring her pretty badly but it turns out Toka had actually attacked shizuku's water Shadow and not her but even still she got a cut because of the impact as the battle progresses shizuko can't see through toko's moves and finds herself at a disadvantage everyone is confused why the battle is not even like before as shizuku is now only managing to barely defend against toca's attacks icky reveals sistela the tokus technique is known as nukishi which hide the opponent's existence from their unconscious mind he recalls that instructor sekyo had done this to him once he explains that although shizuku's eyes are following toco's moves her conscious mind categorizes them as unnecessary information making them unrecognizable suddenly Seiko emerges in front of him proving that he was right she tells him that the technique is a combination of stealthy steps and breathing techniques from the ancient martial arts just then the director appears out of nowhere and asks how he recognized hocus technique he tells her that he was actually surprised that a student could do the same thing as Seiko the director tells him that it is obvious because they both learn from the same night who is the god of battle called nango Seiko becomes embarrassed that the director revealed her secret and curses her master that makes a random excuse and is sent Away by the director who tells icky that by now you should know that his sister won't be able to break free from toca's special nukiyushi technique he agrees and speculates that shizuku needs something to counter toca's close range advantage and he suspects she might have a chance if she finds such a strategy if not she will lose for sure determined to Show Icky how much she loves him she decides to go beyond her limits and goes on the offensive proceeding to attack fiercely with her water blades Toca counters the attack and attacks in return they go back and forth for a while trying to attack each other as the battle intensifies shizuko creates a magical ice field to move freely and attacks Toca she creates more water Shadows to attack her inside the fog and Toca is struggling to move as freely as her shizuku then uses her special water blade technique on her however topa counters just in time with her ultimate lightning attack and Strikes her down despite her tremendous efforts shizuku loses the match and is admitted to the hospital when she wakes up in the hospital she sees Stella Alice and icky waiting for her concerned upon realizing that she lost she asks everyone to leave saying that she is tired they leave a room as per her request but icky and Stella wash her from outside AKA tells Stella that shizuka has become really strong later Alice stays behind to talk to shizuko he Comforts her by hugging her and Praises her for performing very well he tells her that eki watched her until the end and she doesn't need to be too hard on herself shizuko hugs him back and cries letting out her emotions in the upcoming days Stella wins her battles leading up to her victory in a total of 14 matches after the battle she and icky go to the woods for a walk discussing their progress in the

akaza from the International Federation magical Knights eki confirms that he knows this man and has met him a few times when he was still living in his parents house and that the man is now working under his father the director informs him that apparently haza is now in charge of the Ethics Committee and suspects that he is secretly swooping around the school she is surprised that he would stoop so low and resort to such underhanded means but icky believes the man is acting on his own due to personal hatred for him later he and Stella are requested to visit the student council where they are warmly greeted by Toca Toto the president she then proceeds to instruct yudakata to put all the comics back on the Shelf after finishing them she also scolds the rest of the members to put their belongings back in their proper places Stella and icky look at the scene puzzled and wonder why they were requested to visit the student council for such a trivial matter in the next scene they all go to a place where icky and Stella find out that Toca is involved in social welfare activities she helps children in need and you Takata informs them that he was in a similar situation a few years back one of the children recognizes Stella from TV and approaches her to ask her to play and she agrees afterwards they all join the children and play with them while iki Toka and yudakata help in preparing food for the poor children icky thanks Toka for saving him at the camp and also for giving a good fight with his sister udakata tells him that shizuku is very strong as she made Toca take off her glasses Aki confirms if this is because Toca can improve the accuracy of her Noble art by blocking her vision and Toka confirms that it is indeed true she explains that human actions are all controlled by the transmission signals from our brain which is a weak electric current and being a lightning user she can sense those signals using her technique called reverse sight she further explains that it is because of this ability that she was able to see shizuku's traps and sudden attacks toga tells them that she will take care of the rest of the cooking and asks icky and yutakata to take a Break Meanwhile the kids are having fun playing with the other members of the student council during their break icky tells yuvikata that he's fascinated with Toca and can't seem to take his
