Ethan faces a brash A-rank fighter who taunts his recent Demon Spider victory and demands Ethan’s ring and talent, insisting he kneel and kowtow thirty times while promising to consider sparing him. The attacker boasts his fire talent counters Ethan’s and mocks Ethan’s 'trick.' A bystander shouts a warning as the assailant claims his stamina and the gap are back in his favor. Instead of submitting, Ethan moves again; he tells his opponent, "You've always wanted to know what my skill is. Now I'll show you," and the episode ends as he prepares to reveal it.
