Episode Title:
Summon the Hero.
Episode Description:
Takeru remembers how Oka beat him in a war game in their first year. Oka learns that someone in 35th Platoon is a Relic Eater candidate, capable of forming a contract with a legendary magical weapon. The girl with the violet eyes, Lapis, a weapon in human form, hopes to make such a contract very soon. Elsewhere a young Valhalla witch, Mari Nikaido, meets with Necromancer and Alchemist, Haunted, who had just murdered 50 people as sacrifices for a new spell. Oka learns Takeru only wants to be an Inquisitor because it pays a lot of money. Haunted activates his spell, summoning an armoured Einherjar, the resurrected soul of King Arthur wielding a handheld Railgun infused with the magic of Excalibur, and orders it to free witches held prisoner under the Anti-Magic Academy. Oka struggles against the Einherjar and, revealing she is also a Relic Eater, unwillingly uses magic to summon twin pistols named Vlad with which she has a temporary contract. However the Chairman, Vlad's true master, suddenly takes the guns away and Takeru appears to protect the unarmed Oka. Despite his skills he is fatally injured (opening scene from Episode 1) and almost dies. However Lapis appears next to him and forms a contract with him, healing his wounds and transforming into a powerful suit of Witch Hunter armour with an indestructible sword with a special skill to absorb an enemies magic and then use it against them. Takeru thus absorbs the power from Excalibur and defeats the Einherjar in a single move, impressing the nearby Haunted. Takeru reassures Oka she isn't alone anymore before collapsing from exhaustion with his head in her lap, which Oka admits isn't that bad.
