Rin Okumura, a teenager who finds out he is the son of Satan and has inherited Satan's powers, has been struggling to control his flames and his urge to use his powers for evil. He and his twin brother, Yukio, attend True Cross Academy, a school for exorcists. Rin's goal is to become an exorcist and defeat Satan, but he faces discrimination from other students who fear his demonic powers.
In episode 13, titled "Proof," Rin is still recovering from his injuries after being stabbed in the heart by Amaimon, one of Satan's demons. He's been assigned to clean the dormitories as a punishment for his reckless behavior during the battle against Amaimon. Meanwhile, the other students are preparing for the upcoming imperial examination, a test that will determine their ranking in the academy.

He's also struggling with feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt, wondering if he'll ever be able to control his powers and be accepted as an exorcist.
As the day of the imperial examination approaches, Rin decides to change his approach and focus on teamwork, realizing that he can't do everything alone. He enlists the help of his friends, including Shiemi, his classmate and friend who has the power to summon demons, and Ryuji, a hot-headed student who has a grudge against Rin but agrees to help him. Together, they prepare for the exam and practice their abilities.
During the exam, the students face a series of challenges, including exorcising demons and solving puzzles. Rin and his team struggle at first, but they manage to work together and overcome the obstacles. Rin's courage and determination inspire his friends, and they succeed in finishing the exam. However, the results of the test reveal a shocking truth that leaves everyone in shock.
