The episode starts off with a shady scene of a boy and a man amidst a ruined city. It was a recurring dream our hero, Teito, has been having for quite some time though he is unable to recognise the man in the dreams. Well, dreams aside, a big day was coming for him and the rest of the 315th class of the glorious Barsburg Empire Military Academy. It was the final exam to become a certified Begleiters (German for adjutants) and the rate of passing was only 20 out of 500 graduating students.It seems that Teito was not a very friendly person but he must be a good student judging from the special treatment he was getting from the academy (and the fact that the class president is picking on him from obvious jealousy). But our hero has a loyal aide by his side by the name of Mikage, who was a pure-hearted boy. After classes, they saw a battleship known as Hoburg Stronghold fly by and Mikage commented on how he would become a soldier so that he could protect his family. Hearing this, Teito became silent. Apparently, he does not remember his past.True enough, Teito demonstrates his superb fighting skills while practising with Mikage for the final exam. But then again, he wouldn't be the hero if he didn't have superb fighting skills now would he? ^_^ Later that night, the two boys had some pillow talk before going to sleep. Awkwardly trying to express his feelings, Teito recounted his past of being a slave hence he did not know the feeling of love but admitted that Mikage was what he felt his best friend. Awwww... And they swore to protect each other no matter what.The big day finally came. The students were divided into several groups and given their first task - to defeat and kill a criminal who was assigned to fight with them in exchange for a shorter prison term. The criminal wasted no time in bashing up Teito's team. But the two besties demonstrates strong partnership and Teito manages to bring the criminal to his knees but refuses to kill the criminal. A snobbish looking officer, Chief Ayanami intefered and delivered a killing blow much to their surprise. Although they didn't kill the criminal as required, they still passed along with 17 other students.That night, Teito had the same dream of his little self and the unknown man again. Mulling over the dream the next morning, he heard a distant familiar sound and went to search for the source of it. He found some officials, including Chief Ayanami, discussing about some stones and the Eye of Mikhail. Upon hearing this, Teito remembers that the unknown man in his dreams was his father who was murdered by Chief Ayanami. Teito rages in to attack Chief Ayanami but was stopped and thrown into prison.Of course Mikage was not going to keep quiet while his dearest buddy rots in jail. So he slips into the night and heads off to rescue his bestie only to find that his bestie has already managed to free himself. Not allowing Teito to shoulder the burden of escape by himself, Mikage dragged him to a flying motorbike Hawkzile which he has prepared earlier. However they were cornered before they could escape and Teito used Mikage as a hostage in order to save Mikage from being convicted for helping a criminal. Teito jumps onto the Hawkzile and flew off, but not fast enough to avoid a little attack from Chief Ayanami. We'll find out what happens to our dear little hero in the next episode. He doesn't look too good. More interestingly, three new bishies has appeared~!!! =^o^= What can I say? I'm a sucker for bishies. So 07-Ghost has definitely caught my attention. Bishies, great art, good action, so far so good storyline... What more could you ask for? ^^ Bishies, bishies, bishies... XD
