Stigma of the Wind
Four years ago, Kazuma Kannagi was defeated by his cousin Ayano Kannagi for the right to be the successor of Enraiha, a sword passed down in the Kannagi family. His defeat, along with his lack of talent for En-Jutsu, the fire arts, the Kannagis' specialty, resulted in his banishment from the family. Now, Kazuma returns as Kazuma Yagami, a skilled master of Fū-Jutsu, the wind arts.

In order to bring back his kidnapped brother, Kazuma meets with the head of the Kannagi family, Jūgo Kannagi, to exchange information. The rebellion of the Wind Fang clan serving the Kannagi comes to light, and Kazuma proposes a rescue plan based on cooperation between him and Ayano.
Misao, the sister of one of the Kannagi clansmen killed at the construction site in the first episode, is out to kill Kazuma for revenge. However, neither her own power nor her hired assassins can scratch him. Just as she contemplates suicide, a mysterious boy, Michael Harley, approaches her and offers to fulfill her desires.
The Kannagi family hires Kazuma to investigate a string of murders, but transfer the job to the police investigators and the Ōgami family once it becomes clear that Misao is involved. With her own family planning to eradicate Misao, only Kazuma refuses to give up on her, and only Ayano is powerful enough to stand in Kazuma's way.
Ayano is sent to investigate a hitodama that has been sighted at Seiryō Academy, her own school. Kazuma is hired as her bodyguard, and even Ayano's friends, Yukari and Nanase tag along. However, the disturbance turns out to be the work of the mischievous pixie Tiana, and Ayano becomes a target for her pranks.
Ayumi tells Ren she wants to go to the beach, where they meet the Tsuwabukis. It is then that Ayumi is revealed to not be human, but rather a clone, created for the Taisai ritual for sealing Mount Fuji. Meanwhile, Kazuma is still watching the Tsuwabukis and waiting for the treasure.
Ren and Ayano go to the Tsuwabukis' mansion to meet Ayumi and try to save her, while Kazuma arrives and helps them along. Ren resolves to save Ayumi's life by destroying the main problem itself—the behemoth that is sealed in Mount Fuji.
Ayano is having trouble fighting, whilst Kazuma takes Ren and Ayumi from the cavern, exiting through the top. This causes the behemoth to be freed and Ren, Kazuma and Ayano begin the fight against it. Ayumi helps the team out as best she can and suppresses the powers of the behemoth, giving Kazuma, Ren and Ayano time to defeat it.
Ayano and Kazuma get set up to a date by Ayano's father under the guise of an investigation. Ayano's friends got dressed up to see her date and in the meantime took a batchful of photos.
An American fire mage, Katherine McDonald, confronts Ayano while she is having dinner with Kazuma. Her purpose is to bring the title of the strongest clan of fire mages to the McDonalds and obtain the Enraiha. Ayano wins, but causes major damage to the building and her dress. As a result, Kazuma treats her to ramen instead.
Ren, Suzuhara and Serizawa witness Kazuma battle with one of the magicians. Later, Yukari goes to a meeting of seeds, where Utsumi tells them that Pandemonium will appear in the park at midnight and that they may achieve great power if they went there. At Pandemonium, Utsumi tells Bernhardt that he wants to take over and that he will kill Bernhardt. However, Bernhardt responds by saying that he was the one who gave Utsumi power in the first place.
