Failure vs. Prodigy
While changing her clothers in her room, Stella was suprised to see a man suddenly entering her room which changes into horror when the man started stripping in a desperate attempt to solve things. She was later called to the Director's office as she encounters the same man, Ikki Kurogane again, as the two bickers due to Ikki refusing to follow Stella's unreasonable demand which Kurono, the Director of Hagun Academy, suggest for them to have a mock battle to solve this issue. While Stella thought of this as an unreasonable way, Ikki's casual comment angers her and Stella changes the mock battle into a duel with an additional rule where the loser becomes the winner's slave.

The duo then head to a practice ground on the school to start the duel. As the duel begins, it was thought that Stella was the one with the advantage until Ikki counters back, using his Sword Steal and overpowers Stella's swordmanship, almost landing a decisive blow on Stella who was protected by her Aura which Ikki couldn't cut through. Stella giving Ikki her utmost respect, prepares to use her Noble Art, Katharterio Salamandra to finish off Ikki. She then notices the increase in Ikki's Magic Power and was surprised by it, as Stella starts to attack with Ikki easily dodging all her attacks before appearing behind her and hits a successful and decisive blow, ending the duel with Stella's defeat.
