Summary
The Hawkzile race is about to begin and Teito and Frau (now disguised) discuss the next God House as the route of the Hawkzile Race bypasses it. Teito suddenly has the sense that he is being watched by Ayanami and another unknown person. On edge, he looks around, leading Frau to think that he is afraid of the crowd. The pair then check their competition passes and are shocked to find what their stage names are.

The race begins and several competitors target Teito and Frau, seeing as Teito is only a child, to take them out of the competition. Everyone is shocked when Teito deflects the attacks, sending them plummeting. The camera focuses on them and their highly embarrassing names are called out, drawing attention to them. While they are distracted by this, they are attacked and only manage to carry on through their amazing teamwork.

The next stage involves passing through a seemingly innocent cave which is in fact filled with blood sucking bats that only attack those with a higher body temperature than them (therefore Frau is not affected by the bats). The heat of the Hawkzile causes the plants to react violently, knocking several competitors off. The plants suddenly stop moving, causing Frau to deduce that Castor and Labrador have entered the race.

The first day draws to a close as the competitors speed towards a castle in which Velne is sitting, waiting for them.
