As the Grimoire Acceptance Ceremony was about to happen on this day.
Meanwhile at the Common Region of the Clover Kingdom, in the forest lies a hideout and from what it appears to be the Black Bulls hideout.
Inside the hideout sees Luck bouncing off wall-to-wall with his Lightning Magic and is laughing at Magna, while Magna can be seen throwing fireballs at him.
"Haha! You can't catch me, you sorry street punk!"
"Stop moving so I can burn you alive, you maniac!!!"
Magna shouted out at him in an annoyed tone of voice as he gets his grimoire out and takes his flaming baseball bat and starts to hit the fireballs at Luck, as he keeps missing him.
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!!"
Vanessa can be seen at the bar, drinking a beer or two and she looks back at Magna shouting at him. "Would you stop, you gutter street punk?! I'm trying to relax over here!" '
She looks over at Zora, who was sitting next to her. "Want some, joker bo-"
Zora immediateldy decline and lays his head down on the counter. "No..."
"Eh, suit yourself. Ahaha..." Vanessa slowly passes out from drinking so much.
"....Those boys are something else, aren't they?" Secre asked, as she was sitting on the couch drinking some water.
"Yep...That's just how they are..." Roe responded to Secre and nods her head, as she was reading a magazine, about the Host Club she is running on the side.
"Hello, ladies.~" Finral says as he was headed down to the headquarter's hangout room.
Grey tries not to be shy, as she slowly takes her hands away from her face and slightly waves. "H-H-H-Hi, Fi-Fi-Fin-Finral!"
"Heya, Finral!!! AHHHHH!" Asta can be seen dust cleaning the entire place.
Gauche can be seen sculpting a statue for his beloved sister, Marie. He looks back at the loud Magna and Luck, as he shouts out to them. "WOULD YOU IDIOTS STOP BEING SO DAMN LOUD?!?!?!?! Geez!" He went back to sculpting some more.
Henry was just sitting down on the couch as well and looks over to see Finral. "Hey...Fin...ral...." He waves at him.
Vanessa immediately fell asleep, Secre or Roe just doesn't respond to him at all, Charmy can be seen standing in front of Finral.
"Hi, Finral! Wanna have some cupcakes? They are pretty good!" Charmy asked, as she offered some cupcakes to him and had a smile on her face.
Finral thought about it for a moment and shrugs. "Sure, why not?" He takes the cupcake and takes a bite of it. The spatial mage was amazed on how good was this.
"Wow...This is pretty good!"
"Haha, I know right?! Want some more?"
"Maybe, later Charmy...Hey, guys? Have anyone seen Captain Yami, anywhere?" Finral asked, as he looks at everyone.
"I-I-I-I don't k-k-kno-know!" Gray said as she was nervously covering her face.
Gordon shrugged and he wasn't sure himself. "I don't know..."
"No clue, to be honest with you..." Secre shrugged her shoulders. She had no clue to begin with anyways.
Roe knows why, but Captain Yami told her not to tell everyone why. "U-Uh, haha...I gotta go! Run some errands!" She said, in hopes of no one catching on at all to what's she really doing.
"Oh, okay, Roe." Finral said, waves at her.
"Wait, how do we know if you're really going out for errands, huh Roe? Is it because...You know Yami is doing something without telling us?" Noelle asked, as she flips her hair and stood in front of Roe..
Roe tries not to be nervous or crack at all on "telling them". She takes a deep breath and exhales, as she responds with her shaking her head at Noelle. "No. I actually forgot to get some errands, Noelle. I really have no clue on why Captain Yami left."
Asta stopped dusting the place as he coughed at the dust in his face. He would take out a wet towel and wipes his face with it from the dirt and dust on his face.
"Just let her go, Noelle...If she doesn't know, she doesn't know..."
"Who asked for you opinion, Stupidsta?!"
"Nobody, but it's better to leave it be before things really get out of hand!" Asta had pointed out. He hoped that this defuses the situation at hand.
Noelle sighed and she stepped aside, as she crosses her arms. "Fine..."
"Thank you, Asta..." Roe said, looking over at Asta.
Asta nodded and smiled, as he gave the thumbs up. "No problem. Now, we'll see you when you get back Roe!"
"Remember guys, day off! See y'all later!"
Roe said, waving at her squadmates and takes her broom, on the way out of the hideout onto her way to the town capital.
"Bye, Roeee!!!" Asta waves as she made her exit.
Noelle stood there with a unsure look on her face.
Then, knocking at the door of the hideout and Asta immediately opens the door. "Forgotten something, Roe?"
Asta didn't realize who was at the door and he thought maybe Roe had forgotten something. Until he actually sees Yuno at the door.
"Yuno?! What are you doing here, you jerk?" Asta was wondering on why Yuno was here.
"Asta...Are you ready for the Grimoire Acceptance Ceremony? We are supposed to take Nash..." Yuno reminded Asta on what was today.
Asta thought about it for a moment and remembers it now. "Ohhh, yeah! Okay, let me get ready and we'll head over to Hage!"
"Alright...Don't be long..." Yuno said, in response back.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Meanwhile in the Clover Castle, in the Wizard King's office with Julius Novochrono, Black Bulls' captain Yami Sukehiro, and Golden Dawn captain, William Vangeance.
Julius had called both of them up for a very small mission for both squads.
"So, Julius...What was the big idea of this "mission", you need both of our squads to do?" Yami asked, as he takes his cigarette out to exhale smoke.
William wondered the same thing that Yami thought. "Yes. I would like to know the same thing."
"First of all, thank you both for making time to come up here. Second of all...Despite both squads are off-duty. Changes could have come at an unfortunate timing...It appears that...We may have another terrorist group in our midst now...And they appears to have made their move at a village in the Forsaken Realm, Rayaka....We need some of your elite members to go there for this mission and check it out..." Julius explained.
William was surprised at these news, while Yami had a look of no surprise on his face. They make their salute to the Wizard King.
"Understood..." William and Yami simply said at the same time.
"Oh, before I forget...You both know how I'm leaving my position as Wizard King while being in this form?" Julius asked as he looks at both William and Yami.
Yami nodded his head slowly. "Yeah, what about it?"
"Oh, have you decided on the candidates?" William guessed.
Julius chuckled a bit and nods his head at William. "That's right. The two candidates I have to possibly become the next Wizard King is you two..."
"What?!" Yami exclaimed, as he was shocked at that.
"I'm honored, Julius..." William nodded and smiled slightly, as he would salute to him.
Yami was not ready to hear that announcement at all. He was shook, as he would slightly salute to this as well. "Y-Yeah..."
"Okay, that's all I have for now, you two. See you when you return." Julius waved at the both of them.
Behind those closed doors, someone who looked like a worked in the Clover Castle, was listening in as that person had a evil smirk on their face, as if they got a plan. They walked off as they would vanish away.
________________________________________________________________________________
As Roe had made into town from the Black Bulls hideout in the Common Region. She was looking around for some food to buy for this month. She sung out a tune.
"Roe?! Is that you?" A deep male voice spoke out from the side.
Roe would look over to the side, as she sees Kaito Shimura, from the Golden Dawn, walking towards her. "Oh, heya Kaito. I wasn't expecting to see you out this way. What are you doing here? Aren't you also on your day off too?"
"Oh, yes I am. I'm just here to pick out something for my son's birthday in a few days. What are you doing here?! Are you doing any better after that last mission with the Black Bulls? I mean...After you got injured pretty badly..." Kaito asked, as he was a bit concerned for his wife's best friend.
Roe nodded her head and smiled at Kaito. "Yeah. Sorry if I worried--"
"Don't worry about it, Roe...I'm just glad you're doing alright." Kaito responded back.
"Mhm! So, what are you gonna give Little Shimura for his birthday?" The female Black Bulls member asked, as she wondered on what Kaito was gonna give him.
"Well, a surprise of course...If I told you, you'd probably spoil the surprise..."
Roe gasped and she laughed a bit. "Pfft, whaaaat?! No! I would never!"
"Roe! And Goldie..." Yami called out to them, as he saw her and Kaito together.
"Oh, you're funny Captain Yami..." Kaito sarcastically said, crossing his arms, turning his attention to see Yami and Vangeance together. "Captain Vangeance?!"
"Hello, Mr. Shimura." Vangeance waves at him.
"Captain Yami! So, how was your meeting?" Roe ran up to him, about to hug him.
Kaito raises an eyebrow and was confused on why both captains were up here. "Meeting? What do you mean by meeting?"
But, Yami steps aside as Roe misses him. He sighed heavily. "Roe...Cut it out..."
"Oh, we had to meet with the Wizard King and it appears. Plans have changed..." Vangenace added.
Roe and Kaito was pretty confused on what did they mean by that.
"What?" Roe blinked, wondering on what could that really mean.
"Plans have changed?" Kaito crosses his arms and looks up at both captains.
"It appears, an attack happened at a village in the Forsaken Realm and the Wizard King appointed us to have our elite members to check it out..." Vangeance explained.
Yami thought about it for a moment and adds to that. "Since you both are here. We'll send you two. Me and Goldie, here will send backup for you on both of our ends."
"Alright!" Kaito said, as he unfolds his arms, only to raise his hand and putting it up to his chest, giving out the stand three-clover salute.
"Yes, Captain Yami!" Roe nodded her head at Yami and does the same thing.
Roe and Kaito was totally not prepared for this, but they will take the mission regardless. This is what they signed up for.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Meanwhile at the Grimoire Tower, where the Grimoire Acceptance Ceremony was happening. Nash was standing by with Asta and Yuno.
"How are you feeling, champ?" Asta looks down at Nash, with a toothy grin.
Nash had a confident look on his face, but was a bit nervous. "I'm ready...This is my moment to finally get a grimoire. Join up with the Magic Knights. Like you both."
"That's the attitude. We got faith that you'll make it in, Nash."
Yuno said, as he looks around and he sees a number of promising candidates of like that one girl in a cloak, those four friends that just entered. He even noticed one of those kids ended up being Kaito's kid.
"Hm...Could that guy be Kaito's son?" He questioned in thought.
Tony, Mai, Nakato, and Sumire was now awaiting for the ceremony to begin.
"Here we are, guys...The Grimoire Acceptance Ceremony!" Tony exclaimed out of excitement. He couldn't wait to get his grimoire, which is step one to the road of becoming a Magic Knight.
"Yeah, yeah. We know, loudmouth..." Mai said, as she flips her hair and looking away from Tony.
"Hey, Mai. Please be nice to him..." Sumire put her hands on her hips, giving Mai that pouting look.
Mai raised an eyebrow and she shrugged. "What? I was just saying, Sumire..."
Nakato stayed quiet and he was more than ready to get his grimoire.
Sumire notices how Nakato was quiet and she hoped that he was okay. "Everything okay, Nakat--"
"Yeah...I'm fine..." Nakato just immediately responded, as he had rudely cut off Sumire in mid-sentence.
Tony turns around to look over at Nakato and gritted his teeth. "Watch how you talk to her, you edgelord punk!"
"Edgelord punk? That's original coming from a damn idiotic moron like yourself..." Nakato said, and he gave Tony more of an annoyed look on his face.
"Hey, guys, not the time...The ceremony's about to start!" Sumire called out to Tony and Nakato, just for them to stop before they really get into a huge argument.
"Here we go..." Tony and Nakato thought at the same time in their minds, as his attention was for the person who was running this event.
Drout began the ceremony with a speech and giving the attendees a major thanks for coming by and attending. Then, he would finally make the spell for the Grimoire to be handed out.
"And now...You all will receive your...grimoires..."
The grimoires can be seen flying around in the room and then, the attendees gets their grimoires. Notably, that girl in the cloak, Nash got his, as well as Sumire, and Mai.
A beaming light appears as it was the four-leaf grimoire can be seen in front of Nakato.
"No freaking way..." Nakato couldn't even believe it at all.
"Is that the four-leaf grimoire?!" One of the attendees asked.
The girl's eyes widens and she was surprised that this guy, was lucky. "Incredible..."
"What the...?! How the hell did he get the four-leaf grimoire?!" Mai was even shocked here.
"Very incredible..." Sumire was delighted to see that one of his friends actually got the four-leaf grimoire.
"Nice..." Nash didn't seem to be too much impressed by that at all.
"....Hm, interesting..." Yuno thought in his mind.
"Wow! He actually got the four-leaf clover grimoire!" Asta was amazed to see that.
Tony was standing in the forefront of the crowd and it appears he had no grimoire, at all. He was jealous of the fact the four-leaf grimoire chose Nakato. And everyone got their own grimoires. "What...? This has got to be a joke..."
"Huh? That Shimura boy didn't get a grimoire?" Yuno was observing how the boy reacted from having no grimoire but everyone else did. "But, how?"
"You know him, Yuno?" Asta asked, as he looks over at Yuno.
"That boy is the son of Kaito..." Yuno responded back.
"Wait, what?! I never knew Kaito had kids!" Asta said, with a surprised look on his face.
Yuno sighed at Asta for not knowing that. Oh well, that didn't matter at all.
"This...must be a joke...." Tony silently said.
Nakato looked over at Tony, but he looks over at everyone and he shrugged. "Meh..."
"Tony...." Sumire walked over towards Tony and tries to comfort him.
Tony had backed away from Sumire and grits his teeth in anger, he balls his fists up and he doesn't understand why he didn't get a grimoire at all. "....Don't touch me....How could this be?! How did everyone get grimoires but me??"
"....This doesn't make any sense....Was I supposed to be accepted with one too?! This isn't right!!!...How can I become a Magic Knight if I don't have a grimoire?!" He yelled out loud.
Everyone stared at Tony, as they all laughed at him.
Sumire, Nakato, Mai, that girl, Asta, Nash, or Yuno was not laughing at this.
"....I will show you all!! JUST WATCH AND SEE!" Tony ran away, as he was leaves the grimoire tower in tears.
"He won't become a magic knight with that attitude..."
Asta was having enough of hearing them laughing about Tony's dream and so he stood in the front of everyone, as he yells out loud to them. "WOULD YOU PEOPLE STOP LAUGHING AT THAT BOY?!"
Everyone fell silent. Nakato, Sumire, and Mai was shocked. They are getting to see one of the best fast-rising Magic Knights yet, Asta of the Black Bulls.
"Is that Asta from the Black Bulls?! The man who saved the world from all of the wars and the darkness this world suffered long ago..."
"The man who actually saved this world...in front of our eyes..." Mai said silently.
_________________________________________________________________________________
While Tony was running off back home to Britannia Village. Meanwhile in the small town of Rayaka, which was nearby Britannia Village. Roe Ket of the Black Bulls and Kaito Shimura of the Golden Dawn had arrived at the place and the entire place was filled with fog and there is so much dead bodies on the ground.
Roe gasped and held her hands together in fear of what's she seen.
"What...happened?!"
"Seems like we were too late..." Kaito said in response.
Someone with purple eyes can be seen glowing in the far away distance and the person in the fog would say. "You are too late, magic knights...." The voice seemed to be a female's voice.
"....Who are you?! And are you responsible for this?!" Kaito asked, as he takes out his grimoire and swipes it to a few pages, as he summons his long sword. He takes it out as his mana would make his sword light up with his lightning magic.
The female spoke yet again. She has a evil smirk on her face. "Attack them, my Dark Order..."
"Get ready, Roe!"
"Yeah!" Roe would take her sword out and she was ready.
Multiple men would walk towards Roe and Kaito, as they were surrounding them.
The episode would end here, as it goes into the ending credits.

As soon as he opens his eyes, the scene goes into white.
Meanwhile at the Common Region of the Clover Kingdom, in the forest lies a hideout and from what it appears to be the Black Bulls hideout.
Inside the hideout sees Luck bouncing off wall-to-wall with his Lightning Magic and is laughing at Magna, while Magna can be seen throwing fireballs at him.
"Haha! You can't catch me, you sorry street punk!"
"Stop moving so I can burn you alive, you maniac!!!"

"AAAAAHHHHH!!!!"
Vanessa can be seen at the bar, drinking a beer or two and she looks back at Magna shouting at him. "Would you stop, you gutter street punk?! I'm trying to relax over here!" '
She looks over at Zora, who was sitting next to her. "Want some, joker bo-"

"Yep...That's just how they are..." Roe responded to Secre and nods her head, as she was reading a magazine, about the Host Club she is running on the side.
"Hello, ladies.~" Finral says as he was headed down to the headquarter's hangout room.
Grey tries not to be shy, as she slowly takes her hands away from her face and slightly waves. "H-H-H-Hi, Fi-Fi-Fin-Finral!"

"No clue, to be honest with you..." Secre shrugged her shoulders. She had no clue to begin with anyways.
Roe knows why, but Captain Yami told her not to tell everyone why. "U-Uh, haha...I gotta go! Run some errands!" She said, in hopes of no one catching on at all to what's she really doing.

"Wait, how do we know if you're really going out for errands, huh Roe? Is it because...You know Yami is doing something without telling us?" Noelle asked, as she flips her hair and stood in front of Roe..

"Roe?! Is that you?" A deep male voice spoke out from the side.
Roe would look over to the side, as she sees Kaito Shimura, from the Golden Dawn, walking towards her. "Oh, heya Kaito. I wasn't expecting to see you out this way. What are you doing here? Aren't you also on your day off too?"
"Oh, yes I am. I'm just here to pick out something for my son's birthday in a few days. What are you doing here?! Are you doing any better after that last mission with the Black Bulls? I mean...After you got injured pretty badly..." Kaito asked, as he was a bit concerned for his wife's best friend.
Roe nodded her head and smiled at Kaito. "Yeah. Sorry if I worried--"
"Don't worry about it, Roe...I'm just glad you're doing alright." Kaito responded back.
"Mhm! So, what are you gonna give Little Shimura for his birthday?" The female Black Bulls member asked, as she wondered on what Kaito was gonna give him.
"Well, a surprise of course...If I told you, you'd probably spoil the surprise..."
Roe gasped and she laughed a bit. "Pfft, whaaaat?! No! I would never!"
"Roe! And Goldie..." Yami called out to them, as he saw her and Kaito together.
"Oh, you're funny Captain Yami..." Kaito sarcastically said, crossing his arms, turning his attention to see Yami and Vangeance together. "Captain Vangeance?!"
"Hello, Mr. Shimura." Vangeance waves at him.
"Captain Yami! So, how was your meeting?" Roe ran up to him, about to hug him.
Kaito raises an eyebrow and was confused on why both captains were up here. "Meeting? What do you mean by meeting?"
But, Yami steps aside as Roe misses him. He sighed heavily. "Roe...Cut it out..."
"Oh, we had to meet with the Wizard King and it appears. Plans have changed..." Vangenace added.
Roe and Kaito was pretty confused on what did they mean by that.
"What?" Roe blinked, wondering on what could that really mean.
"Plans have changed?" Kaito crosses his arms and looks up at both captains.
"It appears, an attack happened at a village in the Forsaken Realm and the Wizard King appointed us to have our elite members to check it out..." Vangeance explained.
Yami thought about it for a moment and adds to that. "Since you both are here. We'll send you two. Me and Goldie, here will send backup for you on both of our ends."
"Alright!" Kaito said, as he unfolds his arms, only to raise his hand and putting it up to his chest, giving out the stand three-clover salute.
"Yes, Captain Yami!" Roe nodded her head at Yami and does the same thing.
Roe and Kaito was totally not prepared for this, but they will take the mission regardless. This is what they signed up for.

Meanwhile at the Grimoire Tower, where the Grimoire Acceptance Ceremony was happening. Nash was standing by with Asta and Yuno.
"How are you feeling, champ?" Asta looks down at Nash, with a toothy grin.
Nash had a confident look on his face, but was a bit nervous. "I'm ready...This is my moment to finally get a grimoire. Join up with the Magic Knights. Like you both."
"That's the attitude. We got faith that you'll make it in, Nash."
Yuno said, as he looks around and he sees a number of promising candidates of like that one girl in a cloak, those four friends that just entered. He even noticed one of those kids ended up being Kaito's kid.
"Hm...Could that guy be Kaito's son?" He questioned in thought.
Tony, Mai, Nakato, and Sumire was now awaiting for the ceremony to begin.
"Here we are, guys...The Grimoire Acceptance Ceremony!" Tony exclaimed out of excitement. He couldn't wait to get his grimoire, which is step one to the road of becoming a Magic Knight.
"Yeah, yeah. We know, loudmouth..." Mai said, as she flips her hair and looking away from Tony.
"Hey, Mai. Please be nice to him..." Sumire put her hands on her hips, giving Mai that pouting look.
Mai raised an eyebrow and she shrugged. "What? I was just saying, Sumire..."
Nakato stayed quiet and he was more than ready to get his grimoire.
Sumire notices how Nakato was quiet and she hoped that he was okay. "Everything okay, Nakat--"
"Yeah...I'm fine..." Nakato just immediately responded, as he had rudely cut off Sumire in mid-sentence.
Tony turns around to look over at Nakato and gritted his teeth. "Watch how you talk to her, you edgelord punk!"
"Edgelord punk? That's original coming from a damn idiotic moron like yourself..." Nakato said, and he gave Tony more of an annoyed look on his face.
"Hey, guys, not the time...The ceremony's about to start!" Sumire called out to Tony and Nakato, just for them to stop before they really get into a huge argument.
"Here we go..." Tony and Nakato thought at the same time in their minds, as his attention was for the person who was running this event.
Drout began the ceremony with a speech and giving the attendees a major thanks for coming by and attending. Then, he would finally make the spell for the Grimoire to be handed out.
"And now...You all will receive your...grimoires..."
The grimoires can be seen flying around in the room and then, the attendees gets their grimoires. Notably, that girl in the cloak, Nash got his, as well as Sumire, and Mai.
A beaming light appears as it was the four-leaf grimoire can be seen in front of Nakato.
"No freaking way..." Nakato couldn't even believe it at all.
"Is that the four-leaf grimoire?!" One of the attendees asked.
The girl's eyes widens and she was surprised that this guy, was lucky. "Incredible..."
"What the...?! How the hell did he get the four-leaf grimoire?!" Mai was even shocked here.
"Very incredible..." Sumire was delighted to see that one of his friends actually got the four-leaf grimoire.
"Nice..." Nash didn't seem to be too much impressed by that at all.
"....Hm, interesting..." Yuno thought in his mind.
"Wow! He actually got the four-leaf clover grimoire!" Asta was amazed to see that.
Tony was standing in the forefront of the crowd and it appears he had no grimoire, at all. He was jealous of the fact the four-leaf grimoire chose Nakato. And everyone got their own grimoires. "What...? This has got to be a joke..."
"Huh? That Shimura boy didn't get a grimoire?" Yuno was observing how the boy reacted from having no grimoire but everyone else did. "But, how?"
"You know him, Yuno?" Asta asked, as he looks over at Yuno.
"That boy is the son of Kaito..." Yuno responded back.
"Wait, what?! I never knew Kaito had kids!" Asta said, with a surprised look on his face.
Yuno sighed at Asta for not knowing that. Oh well, that didn't matter at all.
"This...must be a joke...." Tony silently said.
Nakato looked over at Tony, but he looks over at everyone and he shrugged. "Meh..."
"Tony...." Sumire walked over towards Tony and tries to comfort him.
Tony had backed away from Sumire and grits his teeth in anger, he balls his fists up and he doesn't understand why he didn't get a grimoire at all. "....Don't touch me....How could this be?! How did everyone get grimoires but me??"
"....This doesn't make any sense....Was I supposed to be accepted with one too?! This isn't right!!!...How can I become a Magic Knight if I don't have a grimoire?!" He yelled out loud.
Everyone stared at Tony, as they all laughed at him.
Sumire, Nakato, Mai, that girl, Asta, Nash, or Yuno was not laughing at this.
"....I will show you all!! JUST WATCH AND SEE!" Tony ran away, as he was leaves the grimoire tower in tears.
"He won't become a magic knight with that attitude..."
Asta was having enough of hearing them laughing about Tony's dream and so he stood in the front of everyone, as he yells out loud to them. "WOULD YOU PEOPLE STOP LAUGHING AT THAT BOY?!"
Everyone fell silent. Nakato, Sumire, and Mai was shocked. They are getting to see one of the best fast-rising Magic Knights yet, Asta of the Black Bulls.
"Is that Asta from the Black Bulls?! The man who saved the world from all of the wars and the darkness this world suffered long ago..."
"The man who actually saved this world...in front of our eyes..." Mai said silently.
_________________________________________________________________________________
While Tony was running off back home to Britannia Village. Meanwhile in the small town of Rayaka, which was nearby Britannia Village. Roe Ket of the Black Bulls and Kaito Shimura of the Golden Dawn had arrived at the place and the entire place was filled with fog and there is so much dead bodies on the ground.
Roe gasped and held her hands together in fear of what's she seen.
"What...happened?!"
"Seems like we were too late..." Kaito said in response.
Someone with purple eyes can be seen glowing in the far away distance and the person in the fog would say. "You are too late, magic knights...." The voice seemed to be a female's voice.
"....Who are you?! And are you responsible for this?!" Kaito asked, as he takes out his grimoire and swipes it to a few pages, as he summons his long sword. He takes it out as his mana would make his sword light up with his lightning magic.
The female spoke yet again. She has a evil smirk on her face. "Attack them, my Dark Order..."
"Get ready, Roe!"
"Yeah!" Roe would take her sword out and she was ready.
Multiple men would walk towards Roe and Kaito, as they were surrounding them.
The episode would end here, as it goes into the ending credits.

The ending visuals begins off with Tony Shimura standing all alone in a open field, in the night time. He was looking up at the sky and the wind blows all around him. He had his eyes closed as well. His grimoire can be seen in his left hand as well.
As soon as he opens his eyes, the scene goes into white.
Away from the place where I was raised

The answers I had put so clumsily

Was balled up together and thrown away somewhere

I from back then was probably shining,
Tony gets a close-up as he can be seen slightly smiling, being happy for his friends. But, then tears came falling down from his face.
The tears would turn into a drip of water and the reflection of Tony with a smile on his face turns into Tony gritting his teeth in the reflection.
As the chords that I played started dancing
Tony shook his head, as he turns around to try and run away by taking a step back.
But, a multitude of hands, notably Kaito, Lily, Sumire, Mai, and then Nakato, as well as finally, the two people who he saw in his flashback, can be seen pushing him to go forward and Tony's eyes widens, as he would start moving on his own as he was still a kid.

Your voice that called “I want to meet you”
He can be seen running away into the light and grows up in a evolution transition, as he is now finally a teenager and he reaches out to the light as he would run straight into the light.

Are becoming a shooting star that melts to the sky

The sweet nectar tiding that place
