Needs must when the devil drives. I
Episode Description:
Simeon recovers. Everyone is stressed from being trapped in the college. As a distraction they play with wooden puzzle blocks, competing to open them the fastest with magic. While discussing music with Simeon Elias realises he doesn’t know if Chise likes music, or any of her likes and dislikes. Rian challenges Philomena to beat his speed at the blocks and she reluctantly agrees. Encountering Elias Alcyone believes he is a summoned being like her; Elias is certain he is not but their similarities are remarkable. Philomena is plagued by memories of Lizbeth’s abuse, distracting her so Rian wins, though he has never beaten her before and is angered she is letting herself grow weaker. Izaac scolds Rian as it is obvious Philomena is protecting herself from something. Chise recognises the symptoms of deep psychological trauma and realises she is driven to help Philomena because she was the same before meeting Elias. Lizbeth agrees to give the distraught werewolf her children back. Elias and Chise are able to spend some time together like normal. Jasmine becomes ill and is hospitalized. Elias reminds Violet if they want to be mages they need a mage teacher as sorcerers are unsuited to teach mages. Violet abruptly invites Chise to play a game. Dozens of students simultaneously fall ill and require treatment.
