After the Dylan's plan has gone awry, the execution of a new operation is entrusted to the Midgar. Having analyzed Basilisk's third eye, Haruka gives an overview of the new strategy to the students of class Brunhild, which is to form pairs and launch a strike on Basilisk, by infiltrating the volcanic island. She orders them to carry out the attack before the catastrophe beam can be fired. For this operation, the pairs consist of Yuu and Iris, Mitsuki and Ariella, Lisa and Ren, and Firill and Honoka. Yuu uses the dragon ability "anti-gravity", and he has a flashback to the time he was told by Charlotte that Mitsuki also has something akin to his power. Yuu notices Iris, who is in the midst of practicing hers skills, and asks her why she kissed him. In The medical room, the students of class Brunhild pledge to Tear that they will strive to achieve their mission, and subsequently they launch their attack on Basilisk. The students get into the designated positions beforehand and partner up, and then proceed to conduct attacks against Basilisk, using their magic which is enhanced by working in pairs. However, their magic is intercepted by the Basilisk's catastrophe beam. Tear's "armorial of Dragon" intensifies even further in response to it.
El ataque de NIFL falla, por lo que se reinicia el plan original de atacar desde la isla volcánica. Con Tear en cama por culpa de su Ryumon, los demás se preparan para la batalla.
