Love and Hate Kiba Sameoka and Shibuki Kujira of the Shark Knight Law Office try to recruit Cecil into their law firm, but she declines their offer. Law firm coworker and former prosecutor Mitsuhisa Hachiya works on a case on Mayu Saotome, who is suspected of using wave magic to cause an explosion, resulting in a fatality of a manager named Ken Oizumi. Two years ago, when Mitsuhisa was a prosecutor, he sentenced an employee of Oizumi with ice magic named Masato Namase to death for breaking the magic prohibition law. However, Masato attempted to break free from the shackles and escape his retribution. In the present, Shizumu and Quinn figure out that Mayu was in love with Masato, hence the reason why she avenged his death. During the trial, Mitsuhisa uses his water magic to free Mayu from her shackles, but Mayu destroys the courtroom with her wave magic instead of planning to take his life alone. Mayu fights Cecil when the latter tries to reason with the former, causing Cecil to awaken her fire magic in defense. However, Mayu is shot in the chest by Shizumu, greatly saddening Mitsuhisa.
