2 comments

It's about time we learn the identity of the two girls that appears on the anime opening. Today episodes has both an action sequence as well as the introduction of the other main characters and it tries to slow down the tempo a bit and focuses more on the characters interactions. If we see the opening song, we instantly see two more female companions of Inglis and Rani. One of them has a purple hair adorned in a twin tail. Meanwhile, the other female has a straight and long blonde hair .As far as we watch, the other two still haven't make their appearance so this episode will introduce both of them. First, let's get acquainted with the lady with the twin tail purple hair whose name is Leone Olfa , she is the younger sister of the ex-holy knight turned traitor ; Leon Olfa, who appeared at the second episode. The other lady name is Lisellote Arcia who is actually the daughter of the country current prime minister. She is a lady from high class society with a cold, prideful character and can get quite judgmental at times due to her upbringing. 

Leona scores homerun for the first time

The story follows Inglis and Rani who arrives at the Ahleman Cathedral. They watch the frozen magicite beast inside the cathedral; which still emits its faint life-force. Inglis just could not hide her excitement to fight the monster should it revived. Afterwards, one of the guards came and informing them about Magicite beasts ran amok in the city. Knowing our cute gramps tendency to test her might, she doesn't wait and goes to the city directly. The capital city itself is heavily guarded and the knights somehow capable of dealing with the monster. Inglis is ready for action until the girl with a purple hair asked her to leave the scene. With a bit of analyzing, Inglis find out about the sword rune engraved on her hand which is pretty much on the same level of Rani's bow rune. For a fighter, the girl makes a strong performance and can deal damages to the monster. She can expand the size of her artifact; making a giant sword which can work as a shield replacement to repel the monster. However, she seems having trouble with flying monsters until Inglis takes an initiative to jump high and drop kicked them to the ground; close enough for Leona to finish them off 


Mini Cyrene is also a woman of culture xD

The focus on today episode is on Leona and how she had to endure discrimination because of his older brother's betrayal. Even the knight doesn't want to give her any reward for helping them clearing the magicite beast. The poor soul just can't catch a break as she is not involved at all to her brother wrongdoing. Yet, despite the poor treatment that he received from the town people, she believes that the magicite beasts don't differentiate their target and remain bigger threats to humanity so subjugating them takes a higher priority. In short, she is a selfless young girl whose kindred spirit is contrasting with her more dubious brother. However, the fact that her brother "kills a highlander and inspector Shioni" makes the students trying to avoid her and making a talk of dangerous individual enrolled at the academy. Even one of the main cast; Lisellote doesn't want to share room with her at first. Inglis and Rani are her first true friends in the academy as they are the first one who accepted her and let her stay with them.

How rude...I am not crazy. Just out of this world powerful

In addition to Leona and Lisellote, this episode also introduces other characters like lady Ripple. She is also one of the Hieral Menace like Eris and work closely with Rafael. There is not much character information on her on this episode only that she admits that along with Eris have a longer lifespan than ordinary human; enough to be called a very old lady. It's funny that Inglis just realizing how she is also an old ojisan inside; ironically conflicted with her REAL current state as a young, energetic girl😂. Other new named cast members being introduced in this episode including Prince Wayne and Principle Miriela, the headmaster of the academy. There is also two named squires named Lahti and Pullum whom all of them just only make a very brief appearance expect of the principals.


Prince by Day, A Capped Crusader by night LMAO

Right after the the ceremony of the new knight enrollment, Miriela gathers the newcomers to start their first student orientation. Afterward, she raises the ground below the students; making a higher platform above the ground level and put a gravity field inside the area. The spell itself makes the students feel heavy due to the gravity around the platform have been raised; making them have a difficulty standing and moving their body. Then, she summons three magical creatures using the ground nearby as well as a sand hour nearby. Her first trial is whoever left standing in the platform after ten minutes have ended will get free meal for a month at the school's cafeteria. Her plan backfired as Inglis instantly throw the creatures in less than a half minute😂; making her having to let the entire students free meal for a month. Off course she instantly tries to save the school's budgeting by telling them that the first take is just a demonstration. After another failed "demonstration", she realized all along that "that specific white haired lady" is over the top powerful. The only thing she can do is negotiating with her to stop using her power in the trial. In the end, Inglis lets the creatures throw all of her friends with her being the only remaining person above the platform. Well, at least free meals for three person lasting three months is still a more affordable option than having to pay the entire group of students’ meal for one month.


I somehow can see how she lifted the monster and flipped it out of the arena

This episode also makes a brief comeback of Rafael who is also turns into a young adult. And by the looks of it, he got captivated with Inglis' beauty; which is actually quite funny and ironic because first of all, they are actually blood related (cousin) and second, Inglis has a spirit of an old man intact inside of her😂. It is a light hearted episode with more on character focus. Inglis’ strengths is still way above the competition and it has been overused lately. With her Tendou Souji's type of perfection, she may hardly get any more character development. In my humble opinion, it's more believable for Lisellote's "break the ice queen" character development or Leona's turns into a more confident person; embracing her inner peace after a journey of self-worthiness as the anime's main character progression instead of our lovely Inglis (who is already introduced as a strong character).

  1. When the main character and her cousin eat for 10, I'm not sure free meal for everyone for a month is worse than free meal for 3 months for 3 people XD

    You're right xD with that monstrous appetite, if Inglis invite both Rani and Rafael for every meal, the budgeting will drain to zero anyway :D
