In a dungeon of giant snakes, Ethan joins Miss Xavier, Mr. Quinn, Cecilia and others for a raid while some teammates mock him as F-rank and warn his dating Rachel will bring her SS-rank father's wrath. They agree to team up and stage attacks, holding back until the right timing; Ethan hides behind a stone pillar as Mr. Quinn finishes off enemies. The fight escalates when a hidden boss appears and the group attempts to flee. As they scramble, an unseen voice says, 'I've been waiting for you,' leaving the team facing a new, immediate threat.
