Marco has just passed the difficult Ghost General Tier trial at a young age, drawing ridicule from a rival who urges him to quit and hand over his Mythic Relic, warning him of the dangers as an orphan. Meanwhile, the Lakes family's prodigy Evie enters the trial, easily defeating a fearsome Dark-Robe Wraith by exploiting its slow arms and attacking from behind. Though she completes the trial in only 17 moves, a family elder pressures her to focus solely on winning for the family's honor instead of teaching others. The episode ends with a tense moment as someone steps forward, signaling a new challenge ahead.
