The girl with the angel wing; Reborn to Master the Blade: From Hero-King to Extraordinary Squire episode 6 impression
This episode starts with a breakfast routine in the academy
with Inglis and Rani enjoy the "all you can eat" meals as Inglis'
winning prize for staying above the platform in the previous we episode. It's
ironic that Miriela tries to save budget by limiting the free meal for three
persons based on Inglis' choosing; not knowing how much dishes both Rani and
Inglis can devour on their own. The two characters that appear in the last episode;
Lahti and Pullum, tries to start a conversation with them. Lahti in particular
has taken interest for Inglis due to her powerful strength in defeating three
summoned creatures during the orientation ceremony. Nearby, Lisellote has just
finishing her breakfast alone while listening closely to their conversation.
One thing I catches from her expression is that she feels lonely due to her
upbringing and her difficulty to start a conversation.
I have personal opinion regarding Inglis that may be
different from what other may think but somehow I need to point it out. Inglis
as a main character is extremely powerful as she can manipulate Aether to her
liking. However, up until now, what she is doing is in contrast to what she is
aspired to be...mastering a sword. For example, Up till now, I never see her
brandishing her blade even once. Everytime the audiences witness her fighting
worthy opponent, she will gather her Aether and convert it into mana; enhancing
her fighting ability. In addition, it's kind of sad that she will even use her
Godly talent to speed up her run because of her "hate losing"
tendency. Being a reincarnation of a wise, benevolent king, her way of showing
off is actually contrasting to her principle and it's like she would rather
overuse her talent rather than really become strong on her own. It makes her
character lack consistency. For instance, one times she didn't want to shine
alone and ask another person to back him up (so that no one knows how powerful
she is). In another times, She threw three creatures from a platform in which
pressed by a gravity spell. What I want to point out is with her "cheat"
feature, we never show what her actual progress is. We never see her competing
with her equal in a fair match. Well, in a dead or life situation like fighting
giant Cyrene or another Hieral menace threat, I can fathom her reason for using
Aether abilities. However, using spell just so that she can lead the race is
way overboard 😂. The old king ...I mean
the cute swordswoman has quite an ego and childish in demeanor as she will
rather cheat than being in second place not knowing that without abusing
Aether, she may not win.
The reason for her kind side is because she is technically an angel |
Principle Miriela gathers the students once more for another
testing. She picked Inglis, Rani, Leona, Lisselote, and Pullum to choose the
doors connected to a dimensional space. She explains further that inside the
room, their mental will be tested. When Inglis enters the room, an image of a
monster appears in front of her and as she prepares to fight, it disappears.
The dimensional area creates images of her past opponents and while she has no
problem taking them again, those images once again disappear in the thin air.
Inglis feels that the mental test bores her so he just wants to get out as soon
as possible by breaking the ceiling with her Aether. It is revealed that above
her head, there are multilayered dimension with each of floor connected to the
other participants. One of them is Lisselote; who is just one floor above
Inglis' dimension, and when she peeks below, her gaze meets with Inglis.
Lisellote tells Inglis about Rani's hate toward her but she replies that she
may dislike her because of her treatment to Leona before.

It's one heartwarming episode with less comedy and not too much
action. This episode focuses to Lisselote and her character’s development and
her guilty feeling toward Leona. While her shifting from one ignorant character
to an understanding one seems too sudden and a bit unnatural, it’s still
passable due to the time constraint and a possible plot twist in the future. She
comes from a high social upbringing and has people serving her in home. Yet she
manages to shallow her pride; Bowes to Leona and humbly apologize for her
misconduct. Leona in return accept her as friend and by the end of the episode,
they are sharing their room together once more with Inglis and Rani join them
afterward. In term of the mental test, Inglis' mental challenges doesn't affect
her slightest as if she knows all along that they are all just illusions. Even
the illusion of her successor doesn't make her shocked at all. Apart from the
character's relation, there is also a brief introduction of a Flygear; a gear
capable of loading two or three persons and has an built in mechanism to fly. The gears
are solely made as a way to deal with a flying magicite beast. I don't know if
the Flygear will be an important plot device in the future episode or it is only
made to slow down the episode tempo and fill the time slot.
