She enters the Royal Arcane Academy as nothing more than a baron’s illegitimate daughter. But beneath Emilia’s quiet face hides the Holy Maiden who died seventy years ago. Magic, swords, and deadly court schemes quickly pull her into the spotlight. And the moment the fallen king awakens… her real identity begins to unravel.

This episode depicts a scene at the magic academy's dueling arena where Emilia (actually the reborn ancient ancestor Natasha) shocks everyone by directly addressing the King by name and questioning Lord Rega. Her father, Richard Miller, is terrified, fearing utter destruction for their family. He grovels to Rega, begging for mercy and scolding Emilia. However, Emilia unleashes a chilling aura of power that terrifies Richard and makes Rega feel a suppression from the depths of his soul. Rega truthfully informs Emilia of his grandfather Arthur's whereabouts. Emilia faints from magical exhaustion. Upon waking, she confirms she has been reborn 70 years later, her soul possessing her great-granddaughter. Rega, suspicious of her identity, orders his shadow guards to investigate thoroughly.

In a magic academy class, the professor is explaining an A-rank magic manuscript left by "Saint Natasha." Clara, a descendant of Natasha and a gifted young girl, steps up to demonstrate, earning high marks and using the opportunity to humiliate Emilia, who is a "countryside auditor." However, unbeknownst to everyone, Emilia is the reincarnation of Saint Natasha herself. Facing her descendant treating the "discarded draft" she casually left behind as truth and studying it for 70 years, Emilia can no longer bear it. She publicly intervenes, modifies the magic circle, instantly triggers a perfect spell, and mockingly criticizes the mediocrity and regression of today's mages.

In her magic academy class, Emilia (Natasha Reborn) displays an astonishing understanding of magic circuits, earning the professor's awe and praise as an unparalleled genius akin to a "Saintess." After class, as Emilia walks down the hallway, she is bumped into by the arrogant Prince Leo, the great-grandson of her family. Her manuscripts scatter across the floor. Leo not only refuses to apologize but also deliberately tramples on Emilia's manuscripts in front of everyone, humiliating her. Emilia recognizes Leo's identity by his family crest, lamenting her son Arthur's poor discipline. She then casts an advanced instant-cast spell to suppress Leo, forcing him to kneel publicly and revealing an overwhelming gap in power.

Emilia (reborn as Natasha) accidentally bumps into her great-grandson Leo on campus. Leo, who is usually arrogant, becomes interested in Emilia due to her cold demeanor. Later, the Professor of Magical Analysis is astounded by the magic circuit Emilia casually modifies, believing her talent far surpasses textbooks and strongly recommending her for the "Saintess Candidate" selection. Emilia remembers her past life identity and decides to accept the challenge. However, this scene is witnessed by her sister Clara, who originally coveted the spot. Clara becomes resentful and vows to eliminate Emilia.

Natasha, reborn within her great-granddaughter Emilia, encounters a magic-sealing field on the training ground, rendering her unable to use magic. Her sister Clara, who has always been hostile towards her, seizes this opportunity to mock and bully Natasha with her followers, deeming Natasha a "punching bag" without her magic. However, Natasha, through her insight into the principles of magic sealing, realizes this is the perfect moment to unleash her pure swordsmanship. She picks up a withered branch, recalling the sparring sessions with the first hero, Link. Facing the onslaught from Clara and her followers, Natasha performs the legendary hero's "Unrivaled Opening Move," greatly astonishing the observing instructor.

This episode features Natasha (now Emilia) showcasing overwhelming sword and magic skills after her rebirth, easily defeating Clara and her followers who attempted to gang up on her. After her defeat, Clara cries to her mother. The mother and daughter realize that direct confrontation is not feasible and plot to ambush Emilia during the upcoming "Saintess Selection"'s first trial, "Sacred Beast Purification." They bribe a butler to assign Emilia a high-level unicorn that has been agitated into a berserk state by a potion, intending for the sacred beast to tear her apart or frame her as a "witch."

The Saintess selection officially begins, a matter of not only the Pengrevel family's faith but also the nation's destiny. Arthur (grandfather), despite his poor health, insists on attending with his grandson, Rega. Clara of the Miller family appears first, outwardly demonstrating powerful "holy light" to purify the ferocious D-class demonic beast, the Black Wind Wolf. In reality, she secretly used a large amount of strong tranquilizers to cheat. As Clara triumphantly provokes Emilia (Natasha reborn), Arthur in the stands detects a strange odor and feels unwell. Finally, it's the turn of Emilia, considered a "good-for-nothing." Amidst a somber atmosphere, she issues a silent death sentence to Clara.

This episode unravels the mysteries surrounding Emilia's (Natasha reborn) identity. Both King Arthur and Rega experience an intense sense of déjà vu upon seeing her at the Holy Maiden selection competition. Rega dispatches his subordinates for a deep investigation, but the results are shocking: Emilia is merely a baron's illegitimate daughter who grew up in the remote Black Stone Village and has never received any magical education. This "blank slate" background starkly contrasts with her mastery of the lost forbidden spells of the Pengreave family. Meanwhile, an incident occurs at the competition as a tormented and maddened unicorn is released, causing chaos. Clara harbors murderous intent from the shadows, while King Arthur, influenced by a certain aura, painfully transforms before his grandson Leo, threatening to expose a secret taboo of the royal family.

She enters the Royal Arcane Academy as nothing more than a baron’s illegitimate daughter. But beneath Emilia’s quiet face hides the Holy Maiden who died seventy years ago. Magic, swords, and deadly court schemes quickly pull her into the spotlight. And the moment the fallen king awakens… her real identity begins to unravel.
