Chivalry of a Failed Knight

Ikki’s first official match approaches! Unfortunately, he and his opponent, Shizuya Kirihara, have a history. Worse, Kirihara has the immediate upper hand due to his device.

As a result of his selection match performances, Ikki gains an unexpected following. Kagami gives Stella some advice that may save the princess and Ikki from parting ways.

Another student wishes to be Ikki’s pupil, but doesn’t quite know how to ask. Despite her initial awkwardness, Ayatsuji proves to be a hard worker and talented with a sword.

Ikki’s impending opponent might be the most difficult one yet. He’ll have to rely on his skill and determination to help a friend rediscover their honor.

In an effort to help Ayase and her father, Ikki challenges Kuraudo Kurashiki, a swordsman from Donro Academy with the nickname “Sword Eater”.

Stella and Ikki head to what they think is a vacation, only to find multiple surprises lying in wait. Meanwhile, Shizuku makes a visit home.

An innocent kiss shared in secret becomes the catalyst for a scandal, and Ikki is taken by the ethics committee on counts of "indecent" behavior with the Crimson Princess.

The stage is set and stakes run high as Ikki prepares to face the unbeatable Raikiri. In the end, who will be the victor?
