Ep. 15: Linel and Fizel ambush Kirito and Eugeo, transporting them to the 50th floor to face Fanatio.

Linel and Fizel, novice cathedral students, reveal themselves as Integrity Knights and stab Kirito and Eugeo with poisoned daggers. They carry the immobilized pair to the 50th floor to present them to Fanatio, the vice-commander, to prove their worth. Upon arrival, Kirito reveals he anticipated the trap and protected himself, using the same daggers to restrain the attackers. He confronts Fanatio alone while Eugeo recovers. Once regained, Eugeo employs his Perfect Weapon Control Art to immobilize the knights, ending the immediate threat posed by Linel and Fizel.
