Ikki Kurogane vs Tilmitt Gracie and Miriallia Régie

Ikki Kurogane vs Tilmitt Gracie and Miriallia Régie is a fight between the Hagun Academy student Ikki Kurogane and the two students of the Vermillion Magic Institute, Tilmitt Gracie and Miriallia Régie. It takes place after Ikki's and Stella's arrival to Vermillion.

Prologue
After escaping the army of Vermillion, Ikki is jumping from roof to roof, towards the palace. He is suddenly stopped by a spear, that comes out of the roof. A bullet is then fired at Ikki, who cuts the bullet in two. Despite being cut in half, the pieces of the bullet chase after Ikki, who manages to dodge, while the pieces hit the roof.

Ikki then meets the attackers, the to strongest students of the Vermillion Magic Institute, Tilmitt Gracie and Miriallia Régie.

Battle
Tilmitt and Miriallia tell Ikki that they don't care about who Stella marries, but there has been a bounty equivalent of 100 million yen placed on Ikki's head, which they are after. Tilmitt then transforms the material of the roof to that of water and dives into it, while Miriallia fires three bullets at Ikki with her rifle. Ikki tries dodging the bullets, but no matter how many times he dodges, the bullets keep following him. Ikki tries to approach a chimney, to make the bullets hit it, but Tilmitt's spear comes out of the chimney, forcing Ikki away.

Miriallia finally relinquishes he control over the bullets, as they start losing their speed. Ikki uses this opportunity to jump to another roof, while Miriallia fires new bullets at him. Surprisingly Ikki manages to block the bullets and cancel Miriallia's ability, greatly shocking her. Tilmitt though realizes that Ikki stopped the bullets by offsetting their kinetic energy, by hitting them with the exact same energy.

Tilmitt then uses Dolphin Crush, kicking the water-like roof, launching herself towards Ikki at high speeds. Tilmitt can change her Device's material so that Ikki can't block it, but Ikki counters this by using Ten'i Muhou, avoiding Tilmitt's attack, and knocking her out. Ikki then escapes, while Miriallia catches the unconscious Tilmitt.

Epilogue
Ikki manages to escape Tilmitt and Miriallia, finally reaching the palace. On the roof of the palace though, he is trapped by the Vermillion's Sword Mentor, Daniel Dandalion.

Stella also meets her father, Sirius, who tries to forcibly kiss her.
