To investigate the dragon sighted in Azeshion, Anos and his friends visit the Hero Academy in the name of participating in an exchange program. Emilia teaches at the Hero Academy, but despite her efforts, Ledriano and the other students of the Hero Academy are rather unenthusiastic about the exchange. Furthermore, Zamira, the headmaster of the Hero Academy, issues a decree to slay the dragon. Yet, as Emilia resists his unreasonable order, the Hero Academy students begin to lose interest…

Erdomaid trains the students in methods of dragon slaying. He does so in a dangerous battle with an actual dragon summoned. Anos and his friends infiltrate the dragon’s den and arrive in the Underground World, where the dragonfolk called Draconids live. Ahide, who attacked the previous evening, guides them to the Institute of the Gods, Everastanzetta. There, Anos is told how he has already been involved in the “Judgement Selection.”
