Nina finally returns to her comrades, but cannot explain away to her members what occurred while she was in Myath, including the existence of Gandoweria residing in her body. Layfon agrees to train with Shante upon Gorneo's consent. In the flashback, as it seems that Zidd has defaced the entire Kalfa family, Ailen is revealed to still be alive. Haia is frustrated with the feeling of inferiority he has harbored against Layfon, resolving to challenge him to a duel. While Felli openly sulks over Layfon's return to normalcy over Nina's unexpected return, criticizing Nina's evasive attitude and berating Layfon's calm acceptance over this fact, Haia makes her the bait for this long-awaited duel. Layfon is sent a message regarding the conditions to get Felli back. As Myath draws closer the night before the intermunicipal battle, Layfon prepares for a confrontation with Haia even as Leerin finally steps inside Zuellni.
