Ray learns from Lydia's maid, Carla that Grim Reaper, an assassination squad from Avil Empire, may infiltrate the tournament for easy access to all the attending nobles. Lydia knows Amelia is hiding a secret, which has Ray worried about her, and assures her Ray can be trusted should she ever tell him the truth. Ray offers Amelia a chance to graduate boot camp if she cuts the target on his chest in a duel, though the result is not shown. The tournament arrives and Amelia easily reaches the semi-finals.

Ray finally meets Evan who is indeed suspicious. Carla discovers the Bernstein family have not been seen in years and their mansion is abandoned.
