== Recap ==
As the students excitedly chattered about visiting Crossbell for the first time, Rean and Class VII visited Orchis Tower. There, they met the new province's first governor general, Rufus Albarea. Along with their usual Special Ops missions, he also tasked Class VII with investigating a number of cryptids that had appeared in the area. When Rean and the students left his office, they happened upon Machias. Afterwards, Class VII went to the Epstein Foundation and met with their chief, Tio Plato. While the five of them were down in the Geofront performing maintenance, they encountered a Magic Knight in the terminal room. After the battle, another Magic Knight appeared, but Alisa Reinford--another old Class VII member--and her family maid, Sharon Kreuger, came to help out Rean and the others.
Class VII, aided by Sharon, defeated the first cryptid, and returned to the field exercise camp. There, they saw the arrival of the inspection team and prepared for their next Special Ops mission. They had an altercation with a mysterious boy on the East Crossbell Highway, but were saved by old Class VII member Emma Millstein and her familiar, Celine. After the mysterious boy departed, Rean and Class VII escorted Emma and Celine back to Crossbell.
And so, evening came. The branch campus, tasked with guarding the inspection team's party, headed towards Orchis Tower. Rean and the students, along with Tita Russell, greeted the members of the inspection team, members of the Imperial family, and Rean's sister, Elise. After the party ended, Rean took a look around the floor, where he overheard a conversation between his sister, the princess, and Musse. Only moments later, Orchis Tower was attacked by Enforcers from the society: McBurn the Almighty Conflagration and Campanella the Fool. Rean, joined by Sharon, headed towards the roof to confront them. Class VII, along with Ash and Musse, once again disobeyed orders to lend their aid to Rean. After the ensuing battles, Rean's allies from the old Class VII appeared just in time to dispel Campanella's illusion. Prince Olivert and Governor General Rufus, along with the branch campus faculty, arrived shortly thereafter. The prince demanded information from the Enforcers. As they prepared to leave, Campanella and McBurn revealed another Aion to those gathered on the rooftop. But Juna, angered by their words, vowed retribution in the name of the Special Support Section. It was then that Campanella revealed that Governor General Rufus and the Empire were currently holding members of the Special Support Section and their allies captive on Mishelam. Governor General Rufus and Major Michael confirmed this information, and Juna slumped down in despair as the Enforcers made their escape. 
The next day, Major Lechter visited the field exercise camp. Just like last time, he issued an Imperial order to Rean: uncover the goals of the society and restore order. Because Randy and the Special Support Section had their hands tied, Rean promised Randy he'd do his best and left the field exercise camp with Alisa, Emma, and Machias. Kurt and Altina stayed behind to try to console the depressed Juna. Listening to a message Rean had left for her gave Juna the jolt she needed, and with the encouragement of her friends at the branch campus, she leapt into action again with Musse, Ash, and the other Class VII members.
Meanwhile, Rean and his team, accompanied by Prince Olivert, arrived at Stargazer's Tower. Waiting for them at the top of tower were Campanella and McBurn, unwilling to pull punches any longer. In the midst of the fray, Juna and the others showed up to help. Thanks to Tita's modifications, they were able to fly a Panzer Soldat to the rooftop and break the barrier created by Campanella preventing Rean from calling Valimar. Rean was able to successfully summon Valimar, and with Juna's help, the two of them were able to defeat the society's Aion. Campanella and McBurn fled the scene, but as they did so, they called out to a group nearby who had watched the entire showdown from the shadows. Among them was the Azure Abyss, Vita Clotilde. Previously an Anguis of Ouroboros, it seemed that she was now working on her own. Accompanied by a talking orb, a young man in a mask also made his appearance and announced his affiliation with the Gnomes. Though he introduced himself as Azure Siegfried, the members of the old Class VII somehow felt he was familiar. The mysterious trio exchanged words before they, too, departed from the scene. 
Having made it through the events of the last few days, the branch campus completed their field exercises in Crossbell. The members of the old Class VII and their allies came to see them off. Major Michael assured Rean and the others that the people being held in Mishelam had been freed. Relieved to hear this, they were able to leave Crossbell with a clear conscience. As the train pulled away, Randy and Juna renewed their resolve to continue working hard for the people of Crossbell. Suddenly, Towa noticed three people waving at the train from a distance. It was the Special Support Section leader--Lloyd Bannings--and the other members seeing them off. Rean and Lloyd shared a wordless gesture, wishing each other luck in the future.
