In the wake of Ilumgand's defeat, Ruto and Tomoe discuss Makoto's intentions in their world, with Tomoe stating he has not made up his mind, but his abilities have fully blossomed. Makoto tasks Shiki and Mio to escort his students away, but Mio turns back to the stadium. Ilumgand, still in a live state, talks to Mio regarding his hopes and ideals before she kills him. Makoto sees his shop was destroyed after his merchandise and employees safely evacuated, but assists some folks in the red light district and receives thanks. In a bunker, Makoto learns that Rona was in cahoots with Bright-sensei's experiments and used that knowledge to make medicines and artifacts to create the monsters. He is later tasked with eliminating the monsters in the northeast section of town by the academy's headmaster, which is where the Merchant's Guild lies.
