Azuma lies on the ground defeated. Raiga and Fuuwa walk up to him.

Raiga: It's over, Azuma.

Azuma: Seems like it.

They quickly notice how the ground was seemingly eating Azuma, as sprouts were growing from his body.

Raiga: Azuma, your body!

Azuma: Jellal dreamt of Heaven. We...

Fuuwa: ...

Soon after, a bright glow enveloped the island as everyone's magic was restored.

Raiga: That light just now...

Fuuwa: Everyone must have their magic power back by now.

Raiga: ...

Raiga sits in front of the tree to pay his respects.

Fuuwa: Raiga...

Fuuwa looks to her left to see Raiga's jacket falling into the ground.

???: Raiga!
