Ep. 8: Crisis at the Magic Institute with Hostage Situation and Mercenary Attack

8

Eléonore imprisons Louise to prevent her participation in the war, a decision supported by Saito and Colbert to avoid further casualties. Meanwhile, Sheffield dispatches hired mercenaries to launch a surprise assault on the Magic Academy, aiming to capture female members of royal families as hostages. Tabitha detects the threat and alerts the others. Although the Musketeer Force surrounds the academy, the mercenaries counteract their efforts. Saito frees Louise, and the group devises a plan to rescue the hostages since palace reinforcements will arrive too late. During the conflict, Agnès battles Benubiro, the vice-captain, who is revealed to be the individual responsible for attacking Agnès' D'Angleterre and burning it to the ground twenty years ago.
