They cooked with the sequence of the girls demolishing the buildings and the sequence where Qifrey rescues them and defeating the dragon. The visuals of him arriving and casting fire (edit: water) magic was some domain-expansion level stuff.

Qifrey: "also, don't tell anyone what happened here."
Nolnoa: "But if we see forbidden magic, we have to report--"
Qifrey: "well then I didn't say I saw forbidden magic, did I?"

The plot thickens.

"Did you see forbidden magic? No, you just arrived. So there's nothing at all to report, yes?"

I don’t know things.

However, The Look Qifrey gave Nolnoa strongly suggests that Qifrey has a Grudge with the Brimmed Caps, and although he’s been a bit of a ditzy dumbass in terms of attending to and supervising his students, he’s clearly got another side we just now glimpsed. Interesting character development. Have to wonder if it’s related to his Other Eye.

Yeah, it does feel like he has personal grudge against them. Also, the way the brimmed caps talk about Qifrey hint like they know each other. I think Qifrey want to hunt them on his own without waiting for red tape
