The contestants from each team arrive on the field Lyon Vastia and Yuka Suzuki vs. Kagura Mikazuchi and Millianna. Kagura decides to let Millianna handle the two on her own while she watches from the back. As the battle begins Millianna manages to push back Lyon and Yuka by herself. The two Lamia Scale mages manage to outsmart Millianna and defeat her.
Kagura then enters the battle herself and defeats Yuka with ease. The remaining two mages face off. They fight back and forth with neither giving an inch. Just as Kagura is about to finish Lyon the time limit ends and the battle ends in a draw. With five points for each team.
