Summary[]
Teito remembers Mikage's last words, telling Teito that he loves him and not to take revenge against the Imperial Army, scrawled all over the Church walls with his Zaiphon. However, during the fight it was revealed to Ayanami that Teito has the Eye of Mikhail, and, fearing a repeat of the Raggs War if the Pope were to get a hold of it, Ayanami vows to retrieve the stone for the military.
Meanwhile, Teito confronts Castor, wishing to travel to Hohburg Fortress to take revenge despite Mikage's earlier warnings to him. When questioned on past events, Teito tells Castor that he knows Frau is Zehel, one of the Seven Ghosts and Castor has the same scent. Castor suddenly renders Teito unconscious, revealing himself to be a Ghost too, and attempts to erase Teito's memory of the battle with Mikage and Zehel's reveal. However, he is stopped by Frau who reasons that it will take away Mikage's last smile: Teito's last treasure.
Castor warns Frau that he will lose his position as a Ghost if a human were to find out about their existence, but before they are able to take it any further, Frau's scythe malfunctions and attacks an unconscious Teito, despite Frau's protests. The Eye of Mikhail intervenes before Teito is injured, and a furious Mikhail attacks the two Bishops. When Mikhail demands the removal of the collar, Castor counters that only the army can remove it. To control Mikhail, Frau makes use of the commands of the collar, and once Teito has been incapacitated, the Bishops decide to enrol Teito in the clergy exams.
