Magna ends up teaming up with the vice-captain of the Coral Peacocks, Kirsch, also happens to be Mimosa's older brother and Sol from the Blue Rose Knights. Kirsch seems to just go on about how beautiful he is and Magna and Sol don't know how to deal with the biggest narcissist they've ever met. Meanwhile, Finral ends up on a team with Leopold and Hamon and Finral was getting fired up, thinking about having to fight his brother Langris soon...
And flame magic is an attribute
 I'm weak against on top of that!
!كما أنّ سحر النار طبيعة أنا ضعيف أمامها
Und Flammen sind auch
noch mein Erzfeind.
Encima el Fuego es mi debilidad.
Encima, el fuego es mi debilidad.
En plus, la magie de flammes
est mon point faible !
Per di più la magia di fiamme 
è una delle mie debolezze.
Sem falar que magia de fogo é um
atributo contra o qual sou fraco.
К тому же, огонь —
мой самый страшный противник.
