It looks like Desir and his success is even reaching a wider audience in their world. One of the higher ups isn't happy unfortunately.

Seems this season isn't ever going to give Desir a break as he faces off against another opponent in the forest. I guess this show is really trying to showcase Desir's talents at every opportunity it gets.

mid season episodes always leave us on a cliffhanger but this was good enough. interested in the battle between alpha and beta, we have one defeat already but there's so much more to go.

This show has the same amount of moving images as screen shots in this discussion. Very stiff animation, if we can call zooming and panning images animation. Story is also meh and considering it's already episode 6 out of 12 and only one participant was defeated, we might as well conclude that this season ends with this tournament as main focus. Gah, another tournament from going to school show. Kill. Me. Now.

I hate the opener but love the closer of this show

Pram was extra cute this episode. He all blushing around Desir
Even though it's a battle episode I enjoyed it hugely. Desir plays this mental math with people and his calm confidence with them is fun to watch. But they don't really show him thinking about his memories or make clear how he knows what he knows, or why he's reading what he's reading.
The whole nobles vs commoner thing is so cheesy and stupid. No school would waste resources on having students constantly fight each other; and if they hate the commoner so much, wouldn't even waste their time and money having them in their academy. It doesn't feel like an anime about these people saving humanity, it's a magic school with cheat skill anime. But Battle Royale can be fun when there are likable characters.

that wasn't the final-final round; it was a warm-up before the final face-off between desir, romantica and pram vs azest and those two other goons. hopefully next week's episode will show more face-off time

I love how these subhumans trash anime all day. It’s already episode 6 and u still trashing it? Always hilarious to watch these lower life forms just go to every episode discussion for an entire season of a new anime trashing it. Like before it was funny how stupid it was. Now it’s just comical how sheep-like all these “people” are. Following the flock just ranting about how trash every single episode of every single new anime is.

Keep going little sheep, entertain me more.

Darn, I need to wait for another week, or probably two to three episodes to finish this tournament of theirs. A cool episode but...



Overall, you get to see a lovely lady, from head to toe, clinging to Desir to get to him. Now that's a nice scene indeed.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Man things are really starting to get good. I would love for a little romantic tension with the blonde girl as well. I like her way more than romantica

As much as I kind of dislike tournament arcs, I somehow like how this one shows Desir's ruthlessness in any form of bout.
Looks like Desir is going to serve some humble pie buffet in the next episode or so.

In ep.4 Brigitte-sensei said that groups must have 6 members at most.
Then why there are 8 members in Azest's group, lol?

Really poor pacing. It seems like nothing got accomplished in this episode. Anything that happened just reiterated on what was already established. The only thing added was they are doing well in the tournament, and they need to study. Everything else was pretty predicatable.

The ranking tournament has begun, and the Beta party is slowly rising up the ranks, as much as this is a newsworthy scoop that's unprecented.

The Alpha class, especially Blue Moon, will be coming after the Beta party in the final around, and that's where yet another comrade of Desir's, Azest Kingscrown, comes in. As expected, both Doneta and Percival have their eyes on Romantica and Pram respectively, though she would be the one to monopolize Desir for herself since she hasn't forgotten about him. The final training...is history training, because within the Shadow Worlds lays scenarios set by the Academy, clearing which they would pass the tournament. All because Desir already knew what would happen from the get-go as a time traveller.

Romantica being erotic about Pram's secret with Desir, they kinda pissed off Desir a bit. But Azest coming straight to declare war on him since the last time that he defeated her, it's the same spirit that would change their future together. Desir readies in a proper manner and walks into the coliseum, rivaling many parties (including Blue Moon) for the final round of the Ranking Tournament. The battle royale starts here, though Desir is separate from both Romantica and Pram, and finds a noble targetting him, though he makes light of her with his inverse magic.

One down, 29 (or more precisely, 27) to go. Desir whacks strong.

Desir was lucky he was solo it seemed (unless he was holding back substantially).

A team about to become single rankers.

I think the studio did their best to hype it up but it was a little bit unsatisfactory. Music was good, but the rest was underwhelming (especially the animation).
I feel they decided to invest screentime so wo could perceive how the bond between characters strengthen, but the truth it felt as plot-wise there was little progress.

this is such an engaging episode! and bit of a cliffhanger! i wanna see those higher class beg on their knees! but Desir is doing this for a better purpose! they really need to get stronger to change the future! but the higher class' attitude and pride is gonna be a mess and a big problem for Desir!
5/5.

Excellent, the past knowledge coming in handy again, knowing exactly what will be going down.

Looks like it's gonna be a pretty epic battle, plus blue moon appear to be underestimating them.

The qualification ranking tournament round begins, Desir and his party members defeat other party members one by one, showing their strength, they make headlines and the snobby nobles cant ignore them anymore. The blue moon decides who they want to fight on his party, Ajest, now the leader decides to take on desir as he made her taste defeat in the entrance exam, Hadun has his mind on romantica, and the guy who beat up parm in the arena targets him.
To prepare for the final round Desir and his party study history as the round will consist of preventing a random historical conflict (with sabotage from other parties allowed), While studying, ajest herself declears war on Desir.
The next day it begins, the top 9 ranked people will be promoted, which is their goal, with that they all enter the shadow world with bunch of other high ranking parties. Desir finds himself spawned in a random location, he is first set on finding his teammates but one of blue moon's party members finds him right off the bat and start a battle. The girl definitly shows her ability but desir's knowledge and skill is still too great and he defeats the member from blue moon.

Parm is definitely gay for Desir, too bad he already got a love interest. Though he hasnt shown much love interest for her which is kinda dissappointing, he just smiles at her. Alot
