Upon discovering Rae’s new familiar Ralaire, Claire prepares to report it so it can be killed, and isn’t impressed by its lesser tricks. So Rae appeals to Claire’s vanity by having the slime mimic Claire’s form. This pleases her, and she allows Rae to keep the familiar.
Rae, Claire, and Misha all pass the written portion of the Knights entry exams, so they all move on to the practical. Claire takes Rae aside and again asks her to agree to leave the school if she wins. Rae, who is certain Claire will pass, instead agrees to Claire’s terms if Rae loses.
If Rae wins, Claire has to do whatever she asks. With that, the magical duels commence within a magical barrier set up by the Knights captain and vice-captain. The first duel is between Princes Yu and Thane, whom Misha and Claire have the hots for, respectively.
Yu would seem to have the upper hand with his water and ice-based magic, but Thane is no ordinary wind-user, and manages to get his younger brother to yield. Misha puts up a good fight against Rod with creative use of her wind magic, but ultimately loses the battle of endurance due to lack of oxygen.
The final duel is perhaps the most anticipated among the students: Rae vs. Claire. As expected, the vast majority of the crowd is on Claire’s side, and Rae can’t blame them; she’d normally be on Claire’s side too! When neither girl attacks first, Rae decides to start by encasing Claire in a rock pillar, which she effortlessly melts with her flames.
Rae counters with a personal barrier made not of earth or rock, but tungsten carbide, borrowing a material from her original world. Claire tries to get around the shield by firing a fusillade of fiery blasts, but Claire shoots them all down with earth projectiles.
Claire can’t help but be impressed with the Commoner’s aptitude, rotten though she may be. But she intends to turn the tables by using an elite hereditary beam weapon. Her only mistake is going easy on Rae by firing a warning shot first; she would have surely won if that shot had been on target.
Instead, Rae simply creates a hole for Claire to fall in, then makes the hole so deep she cannot hope to escape. Even if she tried, Thane reminds Claire that Rae can also wield water, against which her fire is weakest. The Knights call the match for Rae by unanimous decision, while Claire is taken down another peg.
The next day the list of new Knights entrants is posted, and to Claire’s shock, her name is on it. Turns out whether combatants won or lost didn’t matter; the point of the practical exam was to determine the would-be members’ magical ability, which was exmplary for all three princes, Misha, Claire, and Rae.
So they’re all in the Knights! Also, because she didn’t lose, Rae can ask anything of Claire. Curiously, she asks for the exact same thing as last time: asking Claire to swear never to give up no matter what. Could Rae still be taking into account Claire’s default status as the villainess in the game, and this is a defense against that? In any case, Claire isn’t about to be rid of Rae anytime soon.
