Long Summary
Somewhere in a ruined city inhabited by humans, a Horseman of John appeared causing chaos. Mikaela Hyakuya, now a vampire, enters the scene and eliminated the Horseman very easily. The humans were rejoiced falsely believing they now have protection. As a vampire named Lacus comments Mikaela's abilities, he guarantees "protection" to the humans in exchange for blood. Meanwhile, whilst a human girl offers blood to Mikaela as gratitude for saving her, Mikaela recalls how he turned into a vampire...

Four years ago, after Yu escaped, vampires discover the attempted escape orchestrated by Mikaela ending in a bloodbath, shocked to see that Ferid was shot. Krul Tepes arrives at the scene on time to stop the vampires from killing a dying Mikaela, then demanded an explanation from Ferid, who was actually alive. Krul does not buy Ferid's excuse of getting shot (vampires especially nobles are quick enough to dodge bullets) and senses Ferid planned all this in order to let her Seraphs escape, with Yu escaping whilst the others except Mika are dead. Ferid blackmails Krul that he will tell the Progenitor Council about this, knowing that keeping or meddling with Seraphs is a crime in the vampire world, and is thus suggesting Krul is violating the laws. He gives up the attempt after he got beaten up by Krul. Once Ferid left without saying a word to anyone, Krul turns Mika into a vampire through a kiss, against Mika's wishes.

Meanwhile, after bumping with a student and getting into a fight, Yu begins his first training as part of the Moon Demon Squad along with Yoichi and accompanied by Shinoa. When Guren introduces them to his other students, Yu declared he'll refuse to mingle with anyone, then got smacked in the head by Guren. When Yu got sent to his new seat, he once again meets the student who he bumped into and got in a fight earlier, Shiho Kimizuki, and the two start fighting again. Guren questions Shinoa why the two are still behaving badly despite both being taught how to make friends and before he stopped the two from fighting, Guren tells Shinoa to do her job more seriously.

Later, Kimizuki talks to Guren asking to be given a Cursed weapon right away, and to quickly receive the benefits and medical operations needed for his sister after earning such a weapon and status. Guren tells Kimizuki he won't because Kimizuki is still not yet ready to control a demon, he shows his Cursed weapon to Kimizuki and warns that he'll kill Kimizuki once he gets himself possessed by a demon due to his unpreparedness.

At the examination, Yu and Kimizuki are forced into teamwork against training puppets, it ended it failure because they refused to cooperate, but the training was stopped when the supervisor Sayuri tells Kimizuki his sister is in critical condition. Kimizuki asks to continue the exams, but Yu convinces Kimizuki to go to his sister. After much protests, Kimizuki finally decides to go see his sister (with Yu coming with him because they are still chained together) and though he failed the examination, Kimizuki thanks Yu for convincing him to spend time with his sister. Yu then tells Kimizuki that failing the exams or being part of the Moon Demon Squad didn't matter so long as he doesn't give up to find a way to save his sister, and the two finally get along.

Meanwhile, in an assembly of vampire nobles at Sanguinem, Mikaela and Ferid witness Krul's declaration of war against the Japanese Imperial Demon Army.
