As the Royal Knights Selection Exam is finished, Julius stops Zora from leaving. Julius thanks Zora for pointing out the mistakes to those that had lost, since those that want to get stronger will take his advise. Julius tells Zora that he most likely passed that exam and that they will need his magic, which Zora replies that he knows that Julius knows that he is not the real Xerx. Julius replies that its not a problem since Zora is a magic knight, while also calling Zora by his name.

Charmy is in a daze about Yuno and comments about how she can only eat about 1/5 that she normally does, which Magna says that is still a lot. Magna and Noelle notices that Asta hasn't comment about Charmy. Asta just thinks about Yuno, Zora being an imposter, and about Finral condition. Noelle thinks about the finals, how Zora was an imposter, Finral's condition, and how Langris had incredible magic similar to the members of the White Night Eye.

Suddenly Mereoleona arrives while also breaking down the front door. When Yami comes into the room, Mereoleona gives him a gift from Fuegoreon. Mereoleona then grabs Asta, Noelle, and Luck, while saying that they passed the exam.

As Asta calls Zora by Xerx, Zora reveals his true name and that he is also a member of the Black Bulls. Zora thinks about how he will become a true magic knight. At the White Night Eye's base, Liar dreams about his family but wakes up and comments about how it was be time to wake up soon. Back at the Royal Knights, Asta starts to argue with Zora about lying to them during the exam but Mereoleona tells them to quit it. Mereoleona tells everyone that they will be receiving their Royal Knights robes, which Asta doesn't get excited and continues to be in a daze. Yuno is able to snap Asta back to himself by comments about how he will be the magic emperor. After everyone changes into their robes, Mereoleona informs everyone that Siren, Cob, and Nozel with also be joining the Royal Knights. As Augustus tells the Royal Knights to not disgrace the name of the Royal Knights, Mereoleona interrupts Augustus and informs the Royal Knights that the White Night Eye's base is at the Gravito Rock Zone along with saying that they will achieve victory over the White Knight Eye.

Assault on the White Night Eye's Base
As the Royal Knights arrive at the Gravito Rock Zone, Mereoleona informs the Royal Knights about what kind of place the Gravito Rock Zone is. Mereoleona asks Nozel why he had his squad check out this place, which Nozel tells Siren to create a model of the zone. Siren uses a spell to create a model of the White Night Eye's base, and where all the members are located. After figuring out where the leader might be, Mereoleona says that they will split into teams with Asta and Zora being in the same team as Mereoleona. As Zora comments about Mereoleona hanging around commoners, Mereoleona replies that she doesn't care about social status and that Zora and Asta are here because they are strong. Mereoleona then orders the squad to enter the enemies base.

Inside of the base, a member of the White Night Eye is torturing a woman when Luck comes in and defeat the member. The Royal Knights remember how Mereoleona tells them to run wild in the base and don't lose to the enemy. As the enemies confront both Mereoleona and Nozel, both of them easily defeat the enemies and think about how they will get their vengeance for what they did to Fuegoreon. Elsewhere in the base, Liar says that he should go confront the enemy while a third eye appears on his forehead.

As Nozel continues to assault the enemies, his teammates comment about how none of the enemy or the dungeon traps are affecting Nozel.

Liar says that he has already drank the flames of hell and launches one of Yami's spells at Mereoleona. Mereoleona easily destroys the spell with a punch and comments about how Yami's spells are more powerful. Mereoleona then uses a spell to set Liar aflame.

Zora thinks about how Mereoleona is more of a fighter then a mage, while Asta thinks about how he can learn from watching Mereoleona. Liar quickly escapes from Mereoleona and uses a spell to heal himself. Liar decides to use another of Licht's spell, which Asta recognizes. Liar launches the spell but Mereoleona manages to easily counter the incoming spell. Liar wonders about Mereoleona's movements, which Mereoleona manages to get behind Liar.

Mereoleona easily manages to break the sword, which Liar notices that Mereoleona can manipulate the mana all around her. Mereoleona then launches a spell at Liar, while planning to finish this fight. As Mereoleona continues her assault, Liar thinks about how he can't escape or heal himself.

Gauche also thinks about how they have to take care of the White Night Eye on their own, since Yami and that other have left.

Sally uses a magic artifact on one of Rades's corpses, to increase it capabilities. As the corpse charges, Gordon uses his poison magic to destroy the corpse. Sally then charges on top of her Sticky Salamander spell, which Grey uses her magic to turn Sally's spell into crystal. Gauche realizes when Grey had done and uses a spell to destroy Sally's spell.

As Sally comments about how their was only supposed to be three in the base, Rades says that it make not difference since he will just kill them all. No. 0 then launches another attack at the guy, which the guy easily dodges it by moving the base. As Rades is shocked by this, the guy starts to announce what his name is. Gauche suddenly remembers the rumors about the ghost that is capable of moving the base around and realizes that the guy is the ghost. Rades ridicules the Black Bulls since they can't do anything by just moving the base around, and has No.0 launch another attack. The guy manages to block the attack by moving apart of the base in front of the attack. Gauche realizes that the guy is able to move the base, just like Gifso at the Seabed Temple.

The Guy calls out Gauche, Grey, and Gordon's names, which Gauche wonders how he now their names. As the guy starts to reveal his name again, the guys remembers when he met Yami who was looking for a base for the Black Bulls.

Rades says that he doesn't care who Henry is, since he will just crush him along with the building. Inside of the base, Valtos finds the gem inside Asta's room but can't get it since Henry blocks him as he rearranges the building. Henry then comments about how he will never forgive anyone who tries to harm any of his friends, while rearranging the base into a giant moving minotaur. As Gauche wonders about how much magic power is needed in order to move the base, Henry reveals that it thanks to all of the Black Bulls that he is capable of moving the base since he has siphoned mana from them all. Henry also says that its thanks to them that he is able to move around, which Gauche thinks about how Henry is the rumored ghost of the base. As Henry thinks about how he can't control the base very well and that he can't get close to his teammates since he will siphon their mana, but still wants to help protect them since that his his dream job while also putting on his Black Bulls robe.

Rades says that Henry can't make his dream come true against his No.0 and has his No.0 launch an attack at Henry. As the spell does nothing to the base, Henry counters with a spell and manages to knock No.0 into the ground. As Rades tells No.0 to get back up and fight, Sally gets interested in what Henry is capable of. Sally then uses an artifact to increase her magic by tenfold and uses a spell to create a large salamander the size of the base. As Henry has the base punch the salamander, it has not effect one the creature. Sally then uses an artifact to increase her gel's fluidity, and has it cover the base. Gauche, Gordon, and Grey rush to Henry, which Gauche tells grey that she has to do something since his and Gordon's magic won't work. As Grey says that the spell is to big, Gauche uses his magic mirror to create multiple Grey's. Grey uses her magic to convert Sally's gel magic to plant magic. Gordon then uses a spell to destroy Sally's spell. Rades then has No.0 attack Gauche and Gordon but Henry counter by destroying No.0. all four then shout as they defeat the White Night Eye. Rades tells the Black Bulls to not underestimate them. Valtos suddenly appears and says that they are leaving since they have what they came for. As Rades tries to object, but Rades says that he will not accept failure this time. As the White Night Eye leave through one of Valtos's portals, Gauche wonders what they were here for.
