Next turning point

Was just wondering how close we are to the next turning point and how good of a turning point it is. I assume it's going to happen at the end of season 2 cour 1. Also wondering how good of a turning point it is in relation to others. I've liked season 2 so far but if I'm being honest the school arc doesn't pack the same excitment and wonder as season 1 did. I just feel like there is a lack of direction/objective for Rudeus atm so looking forward to the next turning point. I'm not looking for specifics like he fights orsted again or finds out where Roxy is etc just in general when the turning point comes and how good it is compare to the 2 we have had so far.

We'll get Turning point 3 midway of S2 Cour 2.
And about it being better from the other 2 we got, I'd rank them in this order:
1st: Turning Point 2, encounter with Orsted
2nd: Turning Point 3, (???/no spoilers)
3rd: Turning Point 1, Fittoa Magic Displacement

Also, while S2 is great, S3 (Turning Point 4 lesssgioooooo) will absolutely make people lose their minds considering how popular this show is and IF the things are done right by Studio Bind. I hope the studio gets a better direction and narration in S3 because right now, the plot might be looking like a mess to the anime only.

I think TP3 by default has to be at the bottom because although it leads to a lot of great important stuff, it’s not that big of an event on its own

I haven't read the LN or manga. I'm saying this based on the anime.

Its interesting how in this one school, Rudeus now has established relationship connections with many different people. Some from his present school life, others met along the way, Sylphie/Fitz from his childhood, and now Nanahoshi from his past life. Rudeus' connections to his past world, past childhood, present and future are all here.

This school arc may feel empty and directionless, but I wonder what the purpose of that is. Sure we're here to investigate the teleportation disaster and fix Rudues' ED, but it seems to be focused on things outside of that.

I wonder if this school life arc is intended as the healing process that Rudeus needed to move on from his issues. Life has begun to slow down for him, and he's getting comfortable. He's beginning to take comfort and relax in this environment and is building relationships with people again. Its been quite awhile since we've seen him needing the holy relic for calming his anxiety attacks. Well until Nanahoshi showed up and scared Rudeus to death again with his PTSD. Its just something I've noticed.

So altho it may seem like nothing has been happening, I do think this has all been worth something for the sake of Rudeus' mental state and getting him back on his feet again.

@AustinJamB turning point 4 won’t happen this season it’s doing up to volume 12, turning point 4 is volume 15. TP 1 is calamity, TP 2 is his fight with orsted where he dies and gets revived, TP 3 without spoiling for others is labyrinth and TP 4 is the visit which is in volume 15.
