Wistoria: Wand and Sword episode 12 introduces Aaron Masterias Oldking, the King of the Magia Vander and the Strongest Wand, who returns from his Dungeon expedition. He bestows his blessings of light on the mages and commends the "children of magic" for standing their ground.

All the mages, even Wignall, the elf, reverently bow before the Lord of the Light as they tremble in Joy. However, Will's eyes catch a person carrying the Dungeon's instruments.

Intrigued seeing the Sword alive, he jumps from the upper ground and advances toward Will. When Will asks his name, he introduces himself as Finn. Elsewhere in Wistoria: Wand and Sword episode 12, the Headless Mage and Marze retrieve a mysterious sword to accomplish their mission.

The mage killers are glad they went to pick up the "goods" as quickly as possible. The headless mage looks forward to celebrating their success with a party from Hell.

After surviving the nightmare in the Dungeon, Will Serfort and others are taken to the Academy's hospital for treatment. Wistoria: Wand and Sword episode 12 reveals the unexpected events at the Dungeon Praxis event robbed twelve teachers' lives. Many students were injured, but none died.

Sion Ulster, Wignall, and others from Lihanna's party discuss the tragedy and shudder, thinking about what would have happened if the Magia Vander king hadn't arrived at the right time. Lihanna is glad that everyone is alive, and thanks everyone for their support.

Wistoria: Wand and Sword episode 12 shows a light-hearted moment featuring Lihanna and Collette, where the earth Princess discovers Lihanna's excessive appetite. The Owenzaus knight quickly shifts the topic to Will Serfort, commending him for his judgment and courage during the adversity.

She feels the party would have been annihilated if it weren't for Will. They also ask Will about his mysterious power. However, the boy doesn't know about the power himself; he says his mind went black shortly after that. Colette feels they should ask Professor Workner about it once, while Lihanna speculates it was perhaps a special phenomenon.

Following that in Wistoria: Wand and Sword episode 12, Will Serfort asks his friends whether they know about Finn. Lihanna feels he may be someone from the Finn tribe. While the Finn Tribe can't use magic, they have accumulated knowledge about dungeons for generations.

Since the time of the Mage Queen, the Finn Tribe made a contract with the Tower to help mages with Dungeon exploration. Will wonders about the strange feeling he felt when he met Finn.

The narrative for Wistoria: Wand and Sword episode 12 shifts the focus to Principal Caldron's office, where Finn arrives. Caldron welcomes Finn and asks him about his recent Dungeon Expedition. The boy reveals he went deep into the 49th Floor with Aaron.

Finn brings a souvenir for Caldron, which appears to be a broken sword, similar to one that the Mysterious Mage killers retrieved in the Dungeon. Caldron inspects the weapon and asks Finn whether it's the famous "Mage Slayer." Finn reveals he retrieved the blade from the 40th Floor.

He also speculates that mysterious mages were probably doing some tests in Dungeon to create the "Mage Slayers." Finn leaves the sword's analysis up to Caldron, having to go to the Dungeon for another survey on Aaron's request. He feels a fearsome group is probably plotting something sinister.

After discussing the blade, Finn asks Caldron why she didn't tell him about the "Sword," i.e., Will Serfort, despite knowing that the Swords are supposed to be under his jurisdiction. Caldron informs Finn that Will is a student at the Rigarden Academy, obsessed with Wands more than anything.

She adds that Will aspires to climb the Tower. Finn finds it amusing because he has never heard of a Sword aspiring to become a Wand. Caldron seconds Finn's judgment and believes Will's decision could give birth to a big impact on the world. In any case, Finn leaves Will to Caldron's care but desires to meddle in his affairs from time to time.

Following that, the narrative for Wistoria: Wand and Sword episode 12 switches to Will Serfort, who practices swinging his sword only days after his treatment. Colette sighed, as she couldn't believe Will could move his body while the rest of his teammates are badly injured.

Will smiles and tells Colette he can't just sit down and do nothing. He wants to move forward as he has many things to accomplish. Meanwhile, Julius wonders whether Will is a Dwarf since he recovered quickly.

Yet, despite his harsh words, Julius acknowledges Will's strength. Likewise, the boy's unyielding enthusiasm rubs off on Sion, who wants to have a rematch with Will. Wistoria: Wand and Sword episode 12 then shows Will and Sion training together.
