A low-level beast tamer faces off against a rival ten levels above him, despite being set up by two others. Confident and defiant, he commands his S-rank beast, Thunderbird, to attack, but the opponent’s overwhelming skill and speed prove too much. The S-rank beast is quickly defeated, collapsing and dying, while onlookers ridicule it as a fake. The rival taunts the fallen tamer and urges him to leave Midland, revealing his mission to eliminate Dynara’s promising beast tamers. The episode ends with the tamer vulnerable and his future uncertain.
