Ep. 1: Chaika Fights Claudia Dodge While Vivi Confronts Guy About Her Identity

In the war's final days, Emperor Arthur Gaz assigns an official to secret project Chaika. A month after the Soara events, Chaika, Toru, and Akari duel Lady Claudia Dodge, one of the Eight Heroes, but Chaika loses. Claudia permits them to stay at her estate, where they learn she hires unemployed soldiers for her vineyard. She offers Arthur's heart if they defeat her in a rematch. Chaika attempts to shorten spell incantations for faster casting. Meanwhile, the Council intensifies its pursuit of Chaika, prompting Konrad to order the Gillett Corps to continue its mission with Nikolai promoted to Captain following Alberic's death. Separately, Guy confronts Vivi, claiming she is an incomplete Chaika. He believes the half-Chaika can assist in gathering Arthur's remains. The following day, Chaika insists on a fair victory despite her failed training, leading to a duel against Claudia.
