| With the character introductions out of the way, this episode gave more scenes. Surena is a tough one and seems eager to prove herself. She and Allucia still has their own rivalry thing going on so it looks like a recurring gag in this show. Despite his age, Beryl is still a badass in this timeline. Lucy is no pushover either but I'm not impressed by her personality. |
 |
| and now is a dungeon trainer!!! Well, a big power monster appeared, and now what? kekeke |
| Poor Surena really did have a tough time of it when she was young but thankfully Beryl was there to save her and help her become the remarkable lady she is today. |
| Characters like Beryl really can’t accept that they’re being acknowledged for their true worth, and for goddamn reason keeps insisting they’re not that special—it’s truly annoying. The loli mage is impressive, though, and that spell she didn’t fully activate looked like some kind of black hole—it would’ve been really bad for Beryl. We also got to see Surena’s backstory, how she met Beryl, and how her training under his wing began. Now we’re about to see a battle against a special monster—it’ll be an interesting fight if they don’t mess up the animation. |

| Beryl just give it up man you’re never getting that chill retired life in the capital lol. Even when my guy loses a fight like today against Lucy, he’s still gaining respect and fans. Bro can’t escape. Speaking of Lucy, she reminds me so much of Roux from Dawn of the Witch! First time we’ve seen Beryl “lose” but just holding out that long against the most powerful mage in the country is an accomplishment on its own. Poor Beryl was so happy that Meigen doubted his ability to go on the raid and here come everyone propping him up as capable π He is honestly too humble though. The Surena fight showed that he can keep up with his students even at their physical peaks. Sit back and collect your flowers man. Surena’s backstory was really sad, it’s no wonder she and the other students are willing to go so far for Beryl. He found all of them at their lowest and gave them a place to belong and purpose, at such a young age you never forget that type of stuff. Another solid ep |

| Best girl Lysandra focus being peak. Beryl the humble. The way. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| The sensei will always win, and she will be happy about it. He didn't want more work... But well, we're just at the third episode. And now, there's something that looks like a dragon because, of course there's a dragon in this kind of series. Yeah, this series is good. Can't complain at all. |

1:05 I’m sad as of right now there are no lyrics for this OP yet online or even a full version or on Instagram music. Supposedly it’s official release is next month, so just like “Together Forever” which was the OP for Goodbye Dragon Life, Hello New Life which was a Fall 2024 anime last year, we have to wait until then π₯² I wanna learn the lyrics to it already tho to sing along…
19:00 DAMN! BERYL STILL GOT IT! ππ»

| The sword play is absolutely phenomenal in this anime. The studio did an amazing job. |
| Considering how skilled Beryl is, can't help but think he had a lot more chances to counter Surena with how often open her back is during some of her attacks. Glad to see the large monster isn't a cgi blob. |
| Yeeeah. I don't like the adaptation. Very disappointed with Passione. They have cut too many corners. They have watered-down the fights such as Surena's and Beryl's and they have completely changed the story of the fight between compared to the source material Lucy and Beryl to the point that it is now super lame. Either Passione has budget issues or the director is a complete incompetent. Hope that will change in the future |
| There's no story at all..... |
| A wizard against a swordsman... of course, magic has the upper hand. Also, since Lucy looks like a child and no one knows her real age, she's probably one of the most powerful wizards in the world. But it still seems to me that Lucy and Beryl were not fighting with all their might. Surena's story was really sad, and her bond with Beryl seems to be the closest among all the students, maybe he sees her as a little sister. But I still don't understand why she had to stay with another family. |
 |
| Surena has a very tragic past, but she met some very good people and quickly rose through the ranks thanks to her determination. What an attaching girl, probably the best character in the series so far I'd say. Beryl can't take a rest this week, but the situations are interesting, the duel with Surena is pretty good and the episode ends on a nice cliffhanger which hopefully means we'll see them fight side by side. That ED keeps growing on me, such a nice mix of nostalgia and adventuring vibes. Another fantastic episode overall :) |

| Loli hag powerful as expected and our mc also ever so humble. That was a cool showdown of skills between two people who have mastered their craft for a long time. Good to have more Sulena. That was tragic but she had Beryl there for her. The way Beryl got beat up in the dungeon is sus. Prolly faced a high rank /special monster. |

| I'd have to say my only real gripes with this would be that every episode pointlessly ends with a cliffhanger. Sure if used right you can build some tension but when used wrong you're just forcing artificial tension or the sake of fake hype. I'd say this episodes cliffhanger at least has a bit more merit to it than the loli fight, but sometimes it's nice for something to just end and start fresh on the next episode. So far the series is predominantly flashbacks which is kinda wholesome, but also kinda boring. Hopefully the story starts to really go somewhere and isn't just flashbacks for half the season so far it's at a hard 6/10. |
| MC is sooooo dull! this is hard to stay interested. Also why do these cliche shows always interject flashbacks and the most annoying time. Had zero interest in her past at that moment and skipped the whole thing. |
 |
| damn the scrimmage and flash backs were so well done. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I have to say l loved this surena muscles girl... And about our mc why does he keep underestimating himself it would be a shame if he continue like this hmm. |
| Lucy's challenge to Beryl proves every inch of his caliber that he hasn't dealt with since forever, and amidst her almost getting all riled up, it was quite the duel. On the other end, a request to him to train new adventurers in anticipation for the first dungeon attack, with both Allucia and Surena in tow, plus the Adventurer Guild's headmaster Nidus, Beryl sees no way out of this matter. But in the hopes of seeing Nidus's assistant Meigen almost giving a service to bail him out, it's Surena's friendly duel that Beryl cannot back out of. But when compared to Allucia, Surena suffered even worse being nearly killed from a monster attack that her parents sacrificed their lives for her, turning her into an orphan and being taken under Beryl's wing to stay with him. If anything, she's the humblest of the affiliations Beryl had before coming an adventurer, which she has built her life for the past 20 years. And even after all that time, he proved the naysayers right with his swordsmanship against Surena, enough to take on the few adventurers. The brutal accostal with the Zeno Grable, which is why monster sightings were suspiciously little, a real trouble has come to both Beryl and Surena's sight. This monster will not prove easy, however... |
 |
| Really liked Lucy's fight, she is strong as expected (and very cute) Nice to see more about Surena too, her backstory was good, and her fight with Beryl was really nice to watch |
  Imouto suki Tsundere-Chuuni-Imoutos save me...   |
| Kinda hoping for more battle scenes with lengthier length, but all we got is a slowed-down battle scenes in every step of this episode. I guess they did it for the lack of special effects... Anyway, a decent episode, but I love Surena's background story, and I was hoping for more. P.S. They skipped the side love story... π‘π‘π‘ |

| 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. |
