Over the next several years, Eris trains endlessly to try and master the Sword God style, to the point where Farion and her fellow students nickname her "Mad Dog". One night, she encounters a traveling swordsman, North Emperor Auber Corbett, and starts a duel with him before being interrupted by Farion. Despite this, Auber is impressed with Eris' skill. The next day, Ghislaine confronts Farion about his hands off training style for Eris and demands to know why he hasn't taught her how to perform the Blade of Light technique yet. Farion admits that nothing he can teach Eris will help her defeat Orsted, since he has mastered every sword style in existence. To that end, Farion has invited other sword masters such as Auber to come train Eris in their respective styles. That morning, Eris and Auber have a proper duel with each other. Remembering she wants to get stronger not just to defeat Orsted, but also to protect Rudeus, Eris manages to perform the Blade of Light on her own, impressing everybody.

Nina, Farion's daughter and student, quickly grows jealous of Eris' skill.

She arrives at the same time various beastman students are challenging Rudeus for the right to marry Linia and Pursena. When Badigadi arrives and goads the other beastmen into fighting him, Nina joins in as well and is easily defeated. When she awakens, she witnesses Rudeus wound Badigadi, and she comes to understand who Eris is trying to catch up to. Inspired by Eris' resolve, Nina decides to start training alongside her. Later, the Water God Reida Lia arrives at Farion's invitation. Reida agrees to train Eris and Nina on the condition they defeat her apprentice, Water King Isolde Cluel. Eris is defeated by Isolde, but Nina is able to knock her out thanks to her superior speed. Eris, Nina, and Isolde train together, but are unable to decisively decide who is best among them. Isolde points out that Eris' style of goading opponents into moving the way she wants isn't compatible with the Water style, which relies on detecting aggression and counterattacking, and advises her to find a way to control her aggression. Upon observing Eris whenever she talks about Rudeus, Nina advises her to use her thoughts about him to calm herself so she can slip past Isolde's defenses. Taking Nina's advice into account, Eris is able to finally defeat Isolde in a duel, while their masters watch on and are impressed with all three students' rapid improvement.

Rudeus also reunites with his classmates, but is surprised to learn that Roxy has been assigned to be their homeroom teacher. This causes some friction with Cliff due to him being a follower of Millis who does not support polygamy, but he is willing to overlook things as long as Rudeus takes better care of Norn. Zanoba and Cliff then gift Rudeus a prototype enchanted glove they developed that can act as a prosthetic for his missing left hand, which was based on research on the automated puppet. With some testing, Rudeus also discovers to his delight that he can still cast magic with the glove, as well. With Zanoba and Cliff's blessings, Rudeus christens the glove the "Hand of Zaliff".

After doing some research with Cliff and Zanoba and inviting them to dinner, Rudeus realizes that he needs to become stronger if he wants to protect his family in the future. With that in mind, he asks Roxy to teach him and Sylphie King-class water magic. While reluctant at first, Roxy eventually agrees and shows them her most powerful spell, Lightning.

Unsure of how to deal with Sara, Rudeus does his best to avoid her during the quest. Sensing the tension, Ariel and Sylphie arrange for Rudeus and Sara to take on an errand together as a pretext for them to speak privately. While away from the party, Rudeus apologizes for not reciprocating Sara's feelings, admitting that he was desperate to put Eris' abandonment behind him and didn't hold any actual romantic feelings for her. Sara also apologizes since she was not aware of Rudeus' erectile dysfunction at the time, and appreciates him being more honest with her now. Having aired their feelings out, they both reconcile with each other and decide to remain fellow adventurers.

After a brutal physical fight, Pursena comes out the victor. However, despite them both swearing to never see each other again, they end up taking the same stagecoach out of town and begin bickering again.

Nanahoshi guides Rudeus and his friends to a location where they can teleport to Perugius' flying fortress Chaos Breaker, but Roxy is forced to stay behind due to Perugius' distrust of demons. One of Perugius' servants, Sylvaril, asks Rudeus and Sylphie if they are familiar with the Man-God, but Rudeus feigns ignorance due to his previous experience with Orsted. During their audience with Perugius, he reveals many things. He does not know of a cure for Zenith's condition, but he is aware that people who have served as "hearts" for dungeons all lose their memories but gain mysterious powers, revealing that Elinalise is a similar individual who had been rescued from a dungeon. He informs Zanoba the autonomous puppet was developed by the late Mad Dragon King Kaos. He tells Sylphie according to his knowledge, nobody is capable of creating the Teleportation Disaster, so it must have been a random occurrence. Afterwards, Elinalise admits she received her curse from the dungeon, and in return her body periodically produces mana crystals, but her memory never returned.

Perugius decides that he will do the minimum necessary to keep Nanahoshi alive, but he won't devote his resources to finding a cure, since he needs to remain prepared for the eventual return of the Demon God Laplace. After witnessing Nanahoshi suffering another nervous breakdown over not wanting to die in the fantasy world without having a chance to return home, Rudeus is determined to find a cure to her condition. He convinces Perugius to teleport him to the Demon Continent, and he leads a party consisting of himself, Elinalise, Zanoba, and Cliff to find Kishirika, who may know more about Dryne Syndrome. After teleporting, Rudeus finds himself back in Rikarisu, but their efforts to find Kishirika prove difficult and Rudeus only learns she is apparently trying to find Badigadi's older sister, King Atofe.

Cliff asks Kishirika for a cure to Dryne Syndrome, and she explains that sokas grass which is native to the Demon Continent was used to treat it. They are then confronted by Atofe's soldiers, who offer to trade sokas grass to them in return for turning Kishirika over to them. Upon learning Kishirika stole all of Atofe's alcohol, Rudeus gladly agrees to the trade. They are then granted an audience with Atofe, but the captain of her guard, Moore, warns them not to accept any reward from her. Atofe then arrives and thanks Rudeus for apprehending Kishirika, and offers him a place in her royal guard. Rudeus turns down the offer, causing her to attack him in anger. Zanoba manages to distract Atofe long enough for Rudeus to blast her away, and Moore advises them to flee before she forces them serve her for life. The party heads back to the teleportation circle only to find Atofe already waiting for them. A fierce battle between the two groups occurs until Perugius intervenes.
