The examinees were discussing the outcome of the exam whereby only Frau was known to pass it in the past. Meanwhile, other students were still taking the exams and had fought between themselves in the last stage, revealing their inner weakness. Those who betrayed their friends failed. There were two students who were willing to sacrifice themselves to let their friend pass and both of them passed in the process. Teito had mixed feeling for the examiner Bishop. Teito was also shocked to learn that the two old men whom he had helped earlier were also examiners. Later, the people who passed gathered in the hall where they were congratulated. Meanwhile, Laborator had bad feeling based on his flowers and Frau went to investigate.

In the sky, Ayanami and his men were on their way for their goal. In the church, the nuns had prepared food for the students. Teito and Hyukken decided to look for the mermaid as instructed by the two old men. The mermaid reckoned them to follow her into the fountain. They did. They reached another place where a round building filled with greenery faced them. Teito felt relaxed there. Hykkuen asked Teito of animal - Mikage and Teito told him of his previous friend – Mikage whom he failed to protect. Hyukken told Teito of his father whose connection with Imperial family tried to close him in. Teito stated he felt thankful for able to meet Hyukken because of that. Just then, there was light to the gates. Teito stared at the door, which Hyuuken couldn’t see. Frau turned up and told Teito that the door was only visible to those who lost their loved ones. Frau and Teito approached the door while Castor accompanied Hyuuken. Castor aided Hykuuen to see the door. Teito entered the door and found Frau missing. Teito met his foster father who told him that he was the prince of Ragg Kingdom. Teito and his father were greeted by the people of Stelle. Teito sensed pain. In real world, Hyuuken and Castor saw Teito hugging his head in pain. Teito activated his Zanphon. Hyuuken tried to reach him but a flash of light enveloped them. When the light cleared, they were all standing on the grass. Hyuuken knew Teito had seen something he had not seen.

They returned back to surface where other students and examiners were waiting. The old men warned Teito of demons in whisper. The examiner Bishop led the students to the next stage of exams. Teito recalled Castor’s words during the time after Mikage was killed of not to stick his neck any further. Along the walls were symbols of Seven Ghosts. The examiner told Teito of origin of church to guard that. Meanwhile, Frau, Castor and Laborator were told of the military that was on the way to attack the church. Within the building, Teito found himself entering a familiar alley. Same time, Hykkuen found himself having to fight Kor by himself in an alley. He fought and crushed the Kor. An old man’s voice called him and he was shocked. Other place, Teito recalled the place to be where he was forced to kill Mikage. Back to present, Ayanami stood before Teito and Teito vowed to kill him.
