Synopsis
After receiving a letter of invitation and Hitogami's advice, Rudeus decided to enter Ranoa Magic Academy accompanied by Elinalise where unique students called "Special Students" gather. When he arrives at the university, he faces a mock battle with one of the current students as an exam. His opponent is one of the Special Students named Fitts, who is a chantless magic user like Rudeus.

Plot
Rudeus arrives at the university, where his ability to silent cast is tested in a mock duel against another silent caster, Fitz, who Rudeus does not realize is Sylphie in disguise. Rudeus easily defeats Fitz and is accepted as a student along with Elinalise. After attending a speech by Ariel, who is the student council president, Rudeus attends his homeroom class. There, he reunites with Zanoba, as well as meets his fellow classmates like Gyes' daughter Linia Dedoldia, beastgirl Pursena, and self-proclaimed magical genius Cliff Grimoire, who tells him he knows Rudues because of Eris, but hasn't seen her for a long time. He also learns Fitz is part of his class, but rarely attends. After a brief encounter with Fitz, Rudeus meets Luke, who reveals he is also a Greyrat and Rudeus' cousin. Later, while Rudeus is on his way back to his dorm, Fitz accidentally drops Ariel's panties from a window, which Rudeus catches. The female students then confront Rudeus, accusing him of being a panty thief, and the dorm teacher attempts to punish him, but Fitz forces her to stand down. Rudeus thanks Fitz for helping him, and Fitz decides to tease Rudeus by not telling him her true identity.
