I see this episode with our main cast teaming up and trying to advance through the ranks at school.

Romantica is the low point of the show imo as she is still very annoying to watch at some scenes. Seems they're building everyone to show their potential, even if it takes a lot of hard work. Desir is also maturing as in his skills. Also got to see a bit more of Pram's story and his mother health wasn't well.

This is literally the third week in a row that I've had to check what anime this was before updating it on MAL because I couldn't remember a single thing about it.

At this pace 12 episodes are not gonna be enough. If lucky we might get to see how the tournament end, and that's it.

Doesn't this "I don't use the rapier" look far-fetched?

OF COURSE the sword is actually insanely valuable and Pram got scammed when people told him it was worthless. When he said he sold it, I thought he might be getting scammed, and then the post ED scene all but confirmed that that is indeed the case

Ngl man pram might be a little special needs. Practice your whole life with a sword, MC finally finds a way to find your dad and you sell it lmao

Romantica definitely starting to develop some feelings for desir too! Can’t wait to see that develop.

This is giving me "Summoned to Another World for a Second Time" vibes, maybe not as disjointed, though still fairly uninspiring. 5/10 show so far.

We are finally getting some interesting developments for Pram... (but I only prefer Romantica's route) They're definitely pushing the femboy liking the MC more than they should. OGR vibes.

and Prum threw away his, uhh... weapon.

Then we get to see the preview...

He definitely got bamboozled.

He is too trusting. lmao
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.

Kind of nice development with Desir, Romantica and Pram forming their party.

Somehow, I feel like the pacing is pretty slow. I don't know the source material but I feel like the scenes are being stretched to the last second it is allowed. It feels like a lot of the action and mayhem is being saved to the very last 3 episodes of this cour.

The pacing feels so slow, this type of manwha rides on hype rather than story/plot. They should have made it more fast paced. Instead of wasting so much time on showing them training and improving they should get to the main fights.

I like how Desir uses his knowledge of the future as a guideline and not as something that's definitely going to happen. So many animes, the protagonist will always try to preserve the story or past. Just being there is disruptive enough for major changes.

they're really dragging this out. they could have easily combined this ep and the next (at least the first half of it) into one ep. idk how many episodes or seasons this is planned for but they're not going to get much actual plot in with 12 episodes.

UGH!! A training arc?? I do not find this appealing. What a crashing bore
The only good thing about this episode was Pram, again, and now the main guy is just giving off daddy vibes when he's holding Romantica & Pram from the rats...
Everything about the social class conflict rings hollow, the training stuff is boring as hell, and I don't even know why I bother watching this now.

The soundtrack of this anime is very good, way better than the story. I think we need to acknowledge it. They do what they can with their limited money and i like it.

Yea, seriously... In the first episode, I felt like the after-fight scene dragged for half an episode. It's such a pace that I cannot even feel excited for OP MC.

Maybe there are people that wants such pace, but my hyperactivity is getting bored.

@Santibag
True - I usually see this 'pacing' when the source material is actually very limited.
I have a feeling that they actually realized that the arc/s they are adapting are pretty much very short for 12 episodes during the storyboarding stage and so they just added a few seconds of frames here and there to distribute the content evenly.

Only problem i have with this show is that it's not clear if his current actions are different from his previous timeline .
Wish there was side by side explanation
I'm still not sure if romantica joined that guy in previous timeline

All this time I felt that the name "Pram" was quite familiar, now I remembered that it sounded like "Gram", the Norse mythological sword. Well, Pram has a grudge against his father and the sword he gave him because some scammer told him it wasn't worth that much when he went to ask about its value and, before asking for a second opinion, he decided to believe everything the first time and ended up selling it. . It is understandable that he may have these feelings towards his father, because his mother ended up being left alone without any help from him that we have been able to see, although that is what they want to show us at first glance, I wouldn't be surprised if in reality he was closer to her. what Pram thinks but hasn't been able to interact with him for some reason. On the other hand, Romantica learned to better control her wind magic and little else, but she shows a lot of potential. See you next week to see how they try to recover the sword.

Desir, Romantica and Pram go to Brigitte to announce their party-forming together, with the intention to rise up to the Alpha ranks through the ranking-cum-promotional tournament. But in retrospect, no one student in the Beta class has ever broken that record, and Desir wants his party to be the first single rankers to break the system. As always, the disparity between the Alpha and Beta class students, and the party of 3 has to contend with a filthy room filled with rats, despite both Pram and Romantica not being into the idea of it. The cleaning though was spotless by Desir, and there's no time but to start training ASAP.

The somewhat large training area wihin a confined room, Romantica has to deal with Desir's trainings, the same way as how he saw her in his future. As for Pram, there's nothing that Desir can teach him, though there is still his demonstration with a rapier, which kind of mimics why he used the great sword. The thing is, Pram's backstory being born out of wedlock and the same weapon that he had, treasured down from his father, whom his mother told him not to meet nor learn his name, since they lived in different worlds. But Pram has decided to anyway by entering into Hebrion and getting clues, only to find that the rapier is just a useless cheap and common item.

Pram already sold off his cheap rapier, though to Desir, he just needs to confirm something about that rapier. What secret does it hold?

LOL @ Romantica having fun with moving the ball around.

As for Pram... huh... dude really regreted his father huh...

Tho... why would he sell it now? when in previous timeline he still had it? I guess Pram talking to Desir made him to sell it? weird...

I kinda like this slower pace, get to see how the training is done for once.

Pram's story is just sad, abandoned by his noble father, the sword he left him turns out to be of great value then he goes and sells it and gets scammed.

Definitely looking forward to seeing where this goes, and so far I can already tell that the current timeline is already going to turn out different to the old one.

Desir along with romantica and pram go to professor brigitte (Non-discriminitory one) to set up a party, the reason being so they can get promoted to alpha class by winning the ranking tournamnet to prove beta's potential. After setting up their party they find out the vast difference between alpha class rooms and their party room which is filled with rats and dust, however desir along with the reluntant romantica transforms the room amazingly. Desir starts training romantica to improve her accuracy he starts her off with learning wind magic control exercises (Which she gets the hang of pretty quickly).
Desir inquires pram why in the arena he used a great sword instead of a light sword, somethimg that'll match his agility, parm decides to show desir why at his home. Parm reveals the sword that desir reconizes in his previous timeline, parm explains how it was left from his noble father, and that his mother was a commoner. After his mothers death and When he enrolled to hebrion to find his father he got the sword appraised and that the sword his father left them had no value, parm feeling betrayed vowed to never use that sword left by his father. Later in the party room desir asks if he can see Parm's sword, but... he reveals he sold it.

Parm and romantica harem? No homo
