## Summary

Mira heads to Fool the Wunderkammer, which entrance is under the Alcait Academy. Before entering the academy, she meets Hinata, a teacher from the academy, who wonders if Mira is interested in the academy. Hinata wonders if Mira wishes to become a mage, but Mira states she is already one, which surprises Hinata. However, as she hers Mira is a summoner, she is shocked as she teaches evocation magic, but only have a few students. Hinata praises Cleos, the acting Elder of the Tower of Evocation, who is been putting old contract methods into practice and she hopes, people will soon change their mind on the summoners. Hinata then notices Mira's bracelet, a user's bangle, that is a proof of a high-level adventurer. Excited, Hinata reveals she has contracts with Dark Knights, Holy Knights, Hell Hounds, Salamanders, Carbuncles and Wyverns, which Mira finds as a basic line. As Mira confirms she has contract with more spirits, Hinata asks her for help.

Hinata tells her about the Mage Arts Review, a monthly symposium where each department competes and presents spells. Depending on how you get rated, you might gain greater access to academy facilities and receive more research funds. The Evocation Department have been ranking last in the last couple of years, and she haven't showed any new or flashy spirit for a long time, and because of that she wants Mira to help her and summon a spirit no one had seen in hopes to rank a bit better. Seeing the bad state of the evocation magic, Mira decides to help out. The Sorcery Department then show up and mock Hinata for bringing a child. Hinata explains Mira is this years representative, which makes them make fun of evocation magic even more. As they leave, Hinata explains that was Caerus Berling, heir to Berling family and skilful mage, and because of him the Sorcery Department always ranks first.

Seeing the review arena, Mira is disappointed as she can't summon her Aizenfald, as the arena is too small and she needs to think of something else that is also flashy. As the event start, the announcer explains each representative is given ten minutes to present their spells. Attack-type spells will target an armor dummy, which can withstand special effects. As the Sorcery Department was first last time, they start with Caerus, who last time showed great water magic. Caerus then shows fire magic, but Mira isn't impressed, stating its crude spells with impact points and timing being all over the place. Hinata states that partiality is a second concern, and easy-to-understand and flashy techniques do well, hearing that Mira realizes who she needs to summon. Next go Holy Magic Department, Divination Department, Immortal Arts Department, Exorcism Department, Demonology Department, Necromancy Department, until its finally Evocation Department turn.

Mira then steps out and activates Bound Arcana, causing others to comment its an advanced skill only high-level summoners should be able to use. She then uses Mark of the Rosary and then summons Evocation Diva, Leticia. Leticia is glad to see her master again and states she have been writing a song for her, but the lyrics aren't done yet. Mira asks her to sing Melodia of Fresh Verdure. As she does, the song captures the hearts of everyone with Mira commenting it heals the soul. Mira then asks Leticia to use Requiem of Rage on the dummy and as Leticia does, she completely destroys the armor dummy. Mira states that Evocation magic isn't just something you summon and throw at the enemy, but depending on what you summon, it expands how you fight. Everyone is moved by what they say and Mira's department receives max score.

Caerus doesn't agree and states there must be something strange as a child like her shouldn't be able to use such magic. The judge gets annoyed by Caerus' claim and then suggests they duel. As the duel starts, Caerus jumps back and prepares his magic, but before he can finish, he is surrounded by six Dark Knights with swords pointing at his throat. Mira is then announced as winner. Caerus states it shouldn't be possible for her to summon six Dark Knights in an instant and someone must be helping her. Mira then summons 18 at once, completely shocking Caerus. As the fight ends, Mira gets surrounded by excited people and Cleos approaches her and asks her to come there later when things calm down.

Mira returns later to the arena and tells Cleos, he should have told her he was watching and that Amaratte, the acting Elder of the Tower of Necromancy was with him. Cleos states he wants to duel her as he wants to confirm something. He summons Holy Knights, while Mira Dark Knights. As Mira avoids an attack, he summons chains from the ground, binding her. Mira summons blades, that cut the chains, and more Dark Knights surrounding Cleos, who seeing Mira's gestures and phrases is instantly reminded of Danblf. Cleos then surrenders and bows to Mira, stating he is certain that Mira is Danblf. Mira tries to say Danblf is her teacher, but Cleos states he cannot be deceived, but he will continue to call her Mira.

At a celebration, Hinata is trembling as not only her department won and she met the acting elder, but it turns out Mira is pupil of Danblf. Hearing they will be doing some work tomorrow, Hinata asks to join them and Mira agrees.
