Not that it should be any surprise, Allucia really does treasure her time with Beryl since her childhood days.

Beryl also reunites with another one of her students Ficelle, although she seems more reserved than the other two. This anime so far has done its job at introducing these characters but so far, the most important ones has their connection with Beryl. I guess the main plot will kick off soon after these character intros and backgrounds.

This episode gave a lot of insight into Beryl’s swordsmanship and how kind and surprisingly humble he is, as shown through Allucia’s monologued background. Not that I didn’t already get that from the last one.

We also met another student, Ficelle, who excels at both magic and swordplay—at least from his fellow students' perspective—during a date with Curuni.

Now Beryl must face a challenger, a true master of her craft: Lucy. It'll be interesting to see how that plays out. The show’s kept me entertained so far, so there’s that.

It was small detail but I liked the little clap greeting Curuni and Ficelle did when they met.

Already getting a cliff hanger huh. Ending right when things were starting to get heated, literally.

Really nice 2nd episode here that showed us just why Beryl is so loved by his students! No wonder Allucia puts him on such a pedestal, you couldn’t ask for a better teacher and kinder man. He doesn’t see it himself, but he’s genuinely amazing.

Even the other knights in the capital stop and listen to anything Beryl says now because of how much Allucia respects him and how he beat buddy’s ass last week πŸ˜‚

What’s killing me tho is just how many students has this dude forgot over the years lmao. This is now like 3 students he’s somehow forgot that have gone on to do amazing things. Fice becoming a wizard is really dope as well!

Speaking of wizards, that cliffhanger is wild. Wonder how Beryl is gonna fare against someone who can use magic as opposed to a weapon.

What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway).

And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea).

Initially it seemed like they were inserting an unnecessary flashback for very early in the show, but by the time it was done I actually thought it was a very well crafted way of showing, rather than telling, how skilled an instructor Beryl is. It also reinforces the idea that Beryl doesn't realize how good an instructor he is because his students didn't realize it initially either, it was only when they went into the rest of the world that they discovered that other instructors didn't compare.

It's a pretty enjoyable show, even when, if you think about it, you realize that nothing much is really happening story-wise at all. He really is just showing up to work and walking around town. There is no overall background plot, but perhaps there doesn't need to be.

Simple fantasy story to enjoy on the weekend, and so far we don't have "overpowered" in the traditional sense. Really a "owner of 1000 techniques" vs. "master of 1 perfect technique" sort of feel. He's old be you perfect the basics at his dojo and I bet will be seeing more of that next week

Of all of Beryl's students presented so far, Ficelle is without a doubt the one I like the most so far. Although, the story of Allucia meeting and training with Beryl and that the reason she became a commander just to have Beryl's teachings acknowledged was very tender.

If she's accomplished so much with the basics Beryl taught her, I can't wait to see what he's like in serious combat.

@Myetx but what’s really annoying about the humble thing in a lot of anime like this (such as I Parry Everything) it’s that it can be really annoying that the MC doesn’t actually understand his strength in comparison to others

@ajw215799 yeah and in this case it makes it seen like every other instructor is incompetent? Like, honestly, the first tip he gave at the beginning of the episode doesn´t seen something so advance for a Swordman but I had never practice the sword so I can´t tell

But I will say that during the flashback, the visual comparison between Beryl´s Stand and the other trainee was clear enough where I could understand he was exposed. Maybe they should have focus a little in the battle against the other instructor? Otherwise I cannot see how he compare to others instructors and their teachings

A touching and very interesting look at Alluicia's past when she was a student of Beryl.
Ficelle seems to have a pretty incredible skill with her sword magic, hoping to see more of her soon.
Beryl is being tested once again as we end this episode on a cliffhanger.

Damn, this soundtrack is amazing, it feels both nostalgic and action-oriented.
Also love both the OP and ED, great work on that.

Another very good episode!

@Myetx I'm not 100% sure I agree with you entirely. As a sword instructor, Beryl should be expected to be able to evaluate the level of his ability and others. I think that there is a plausible explanation that he lived an isolated life in his small town and so he was not exposed to other swordsmen, and we get support for that in this episode from the flashbacks, where his students only realize how strong THEY are and Beryl was when they leave for the larger world. However, now that Beryl is in the capital, it should be reasonably expected that he realize his and his pupil's relative superiority compared to everyone else.

We shall see, I guess.

Bit of a misleading episode title seeing as he only met her at the very end. Throwing in cliffhangers just for the sake of having cliffhangers isn't great. Kind of a boring episode with half just being a flashback.

I like the humble lead character, but age-gap harem with sensei-con girls isn't my thing no matter how clueless/unwilling he may be. I'll give it one more chance to prove it isn't a complete waste of time next week.

Another cool and lovely episode!!!

Allucia's background story makes her current aspirations make sense, unfortunately, she didn't get that date she was hoping for today.

Then, a new girl introduced this 2nd episode, a dark-haired beauty!

I guess all girls in this series are kawaii.

Then, a little girl who is older than MC... okay, we are getting the sus part now...?! πŸ˜…

Anyway, the series is currently, little by little, explaining the characters background story and even giving world building, which is a nice thing in this series.

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.

@ajw215799 Funnily when I said retarded I thought exactly of 'I Parry Everything'. That was extreme level of not understanding (and not listening) ruined otherwise very promising series.
'The Ossan Newbie Adventurer' handled it much better on the other hand.
Maybe I am overly optimistic about this series but I hope that Beryl will show some understanding of his skillset or at least his students will help him.

Awhhh, Allucia was beautiful, I really liked her relationship with the old man it was sweet. Though to be honest, I wasn’t that into her backstory. Still, I loved the scene where she got jealous, it was super cute..

The new characters seem interesting too, and I liked them too.
overall. It was a nice, enjoyable episode—I had a good time watching it.

I'm really surprised with how "tame" the swordsmanship is so far. I was expecting a little more superhuman stuff in a fantasy setting like this but it's only been 2 episodes so it could still happen later.

I liked watching Allucia's backstory and why she felt compelled to bring Beryl out from his backwater village to the city, and that made me wonder if she worked with his father since he found a replacement for Beryl pretty quickly.

Also, it was interesting to meet another of his former pupils in Ficelle who uses a mix of magic and swordplay, cool. On that note Beryl now has to go up against Ficelle's boss Lucy who I think is a bit too aggressive, or maybe feisty is a better word, hopefully he'll be able to humble her a bit.

@LiquidGold this! If this a fantasy world of magic without aura or some kind of super human ability, it makes me a little more annoyed to the fact that he humbled himself so much

If the reason for him to be liked that is because he cant use aura and super human strength when there are famous swordsmen and adventurers that can then I would accept why he is so humble
