The room is filled with the strongest sorcerers from around the world, all waiting for the arrival of the most powerful one - Kaito. Akira, expecting an old man, is instead met with a figure who exudes an aura of immense power, striking fear into his heart.
Kaito's casual demeanor and teasing of the elderly sorcerers only adds to Akira's intimidation. As Mikage presents Akira's case, the sorcerers reveal their intention to execute him, citing his unprecedented ability to defy death and harness unknown magic.
However, Kaito intervenes, offering to help Akira discover his unique magical abilities. When the elderly sorcerers object, Kaito proposes a match to settle the matter, and they reluctantly agree.
Akira's fear is palpable as his life hangs in the balance, but Kaito's reassuring words calm his nerves. Mikage's surprise at Kaito's willingness to fight for Akira hints at Kaito's enigmatic nature.
The match begins, and the elderly sorcerer unleashes powerful gravity magic, pinning Kaito down and summoning rocks to crush him. But Kaito effortlessly defies the magic with a single word, "Defy," and emerges unscathed.
Kaito's laughter and casual flick of his finger send the elderly sorcerer flying into the wall, knocking him out cold. The display of power leaves Akira and Mikage stunned.
Kaito's declaration of protection over Akira and Mikage sends a clear message to the organization: anyone who challenges them will have to face Kaito himself.
Akira's gratitude is met with Kaito's candid response: he stood up for Akira because he seems like someone who will bring excitement and fun into his life. This unconventional reasoning hints at Kaito's unpredictable nature.
With a flourish, Kaito signs Akira into the organization, and the two share a moment of mutual understanding. The stage is set for their training to begin.
