A quick recap of Reign of the Seven Spellblades episode 7

In the previous episode, the headmistress of Kimberly Magic Academy, Esmeralda, called a meeting among the teachers to discuss the disappearance of Darius Grenville, who she suspected was dead. Esmeralda was understandably angry and ready to take action against whoever was responsible. The episode then cut to Pete, who woke up from a nightmare to find that his body had been transformed into a woman's.

The next day, students were introduced to Dustine Hedges, who had come to teach them how to ride a broomstick. The students were taken to the broom house, where the brooms were seen flying about. Some of the friendly ones approached the students to say hello.

Many of the brooms took a liking to Nanao, but she had her eyes set on a bucking broom. After some initial reluctance, the broom accepted her. Nanao then mounted it and flew out of the broom house.

Later, during a magical engineering class, Enrico Forghieri assigned the students to divide themselves into groups and dismantle four boxes, which were actually magical traps. Oliver's group was unable to finish the task on time. As a result, a bunch of snakes flew out of the box and attempted to attack Pete. Oliver stepped in to save Pete and ended up getting bitten.

When the snakes attacked Guy, he neutralized them by spraying water on himself and then running electricity through his body. Enrico, impressed by the class' perseverance, gave them all candies containing the antidote.

Later, Oliver pulled Pete aside and informed him that he knew about his situation. Pete was a rare case known as "reversi," which explained his gender change. Oliver went on to say that the male and female sides had different elemental affinities. This meant that while Pete struggled with lightning spells as a male, he had no trouble as a female.

At this point, Whitrow appeared and admitted to having overheard them. They invited Pete to an event in the labyrinth and promised to explain more later. That night, Pete, joined by Oliver and Godfrey, went into the labyrinth. The event taking place in the labyrinth was a gathering for individuals with s*x-based magic traits.
