Unbeknownst to Shiro, he is suspected of murdering a member of their clan and will need a miracle to escape their vengeance. Miraculously, a young man named Kurou Yatogami swings in and aids Shiro in his getaway, only to reveal he's also after Shiro's life.

After an all-night chase, an exhausted Shiro, Kurou, and Neko decide to make a temporary truce to have breakfast.

Karma

Unable to find any traces of his own past, Shiro begins to believe that the person known as Yashiro Isana may not have existed. As Shiro and Kurou try to think of what to do next, SCEPTER 4, led by the Blue King Reishi Munakata, arrives to apprehend them.

Neko undoes the spell placed on Shiro to help him remember who he is. But other than a brief image of being thrown from an airship by a mysterious man, Shiro remains in the dark. Determined to regain his memories, Shiro takes the risk of contacting Reishi, the Blue King, who could lead them to the mystery man.

Kindling

King

A year has passed since the School Island incident, where four of the seven kings fought for their lives to stop the evil Colorless King.

Unlike the Red Clan Homura and Blue Clan Scepter 4, whose clans posses the power of fire and ice respectively, his late master's clan, the Colorless Clan, have the power of premonition. Before his master, Ichigen Miwa passed away, he had a vision that his successor, Shiro, might become evil, which Kuroh is tasked to kill him if there is proof. Shiro convinces Kuroh the video released by Homura might be a fake and he shouldn't use that to quickly judge him that he is evil without knowing him first. Kuroh agrees to stop attacking him and get know to Shiro but if he ever turns evil, he will kill him.

Saruhiko soon encounters Misaki and Rikio, where he mocks and insults his former friends which angers Misaki to fight him. The fight is soon stopped by Seri who orders Saruhiko to returned to Scepter 4 as neither the school or it's database has a record of Shiro being a student at Ashinaka.
