Returning to Baltrain, Beryl encounters yet another former student, Surena Lysandra, who has become Allucia's rival. During his first training session, Beryl is challenged to a duel by the Liberion Order's vice commander, Henbritz Drought.

After graduating and working her way up to be the commander of the Liberion Order by defeating all of her opponents, Allucia came to conclusion that Beryl does not realize how strong he truly is. She then decided it would be her mission to push Beryl and the entire kingdom to recognize his skill. As Beryl and Curuni tour the city, they run into another of his former students, Ficelle Harbeller, who is now a wizard of the Magic Corps.

Beryl recalls his ill-fated attempt at becoming an adventurer in his youth and does not feel qualified, but both Surena and Lucy vouch for his skills. The Guildmaster eventually agrees to have Beryl duel Surena to prove himself. Surena is enthusiastic at the opportunity to properly face off against Beryl, recalling how he rescued her when she was a child. After learning how to use swords from Beryl, she became an adventurer so she could continue to use the skills he taught her as well as prevent other children from being orphaned like her. During the duel, Beryl acknowledges Surena has improved drastically, but spots a weakness in her non-dominant left hand and is able to exploit it to defeat her.

The next day, Curuni and Allucia take Beryl to a local blacksmith to replace the sword he broke battling Zeno Grable. He is pleasantly surprised to see the blacksmith is another of his former students, Balder Gasp. Beryl and Balder both notice Curuni's short sword is suffering more wear than it should be, and deduce that her fighting style favors larger and heavier swords, so she decides to switch to a Zweihänder. Surena then brings one of Zeno Grable's claws and commissions Balder to make a new sword out of it for Beryl. After training Curuni how to use the Zweihänder and having dinner, Beryl heads home and catches a pickpocket named Mewi attempting to steal his wallet.

Beryl receives his new sword but is quickly summoned by Lucy, who warns him that a bishop of the Church of Sphene, Reveos Sarleon, is likely Twilight's secret backer and plans to use the corpses to recreate the Sphene's Miracle, which supposedly can resurrect the dead. Sarleon has already been called to testify before the Order, but Lucy asks Beryl to be prepared to capture him if he tries to flee the country. Beryl agrees to the plan since there is a chance they can recover the body of Mewi's sister. He has a brief reunion with Mewi, who is still confused why he and Lucy are treating her so nicely. Beryl assures her that they just want to give her a better future. That night, Beryl catches Sarleon attempting to flee. Ficelle and Curuni arrive to hold off the guards so Beryl can confront Sarleon himself. Once Sarleon resurrects the corpses as zombies, Beryl is forced to stop them and Spur, Sarleon's bodyguard. Sarleon is then apprehended. The next day, Lucy rewards Beryl by gifting him a house, while Mewi agrees to have him be assigned her legal guardian and live with him.

As such, he proceeds to step in and help her. Curious about Beryl's strength, the students then begin to wonder if he is actually stronger than Ficelle, so the two of them agree to have a sparring match. Beryl is initially at a disadvantage since Ficelle's mastery of both magic and sword fighting does not leave many openings at any range. Instead, he resorts to catching her off guard by throwing his sword at her, distracting her long enough for him to subdue her. The students are inspired by Beryl's show of skill, and he decides to start teaching them.

While initially outmatched, Beryl realizes that while Mordea is not as strong or fast as his students, he leverages his experience to compensate. Drawing from his own experience, Beryl is finally able to defeat Mordea. Mordea then bluntly explains that he handed over the dojo to Beryl the moment he realized he was stronger than him.
