Having Sherry sneak around without any idea of what was happening around her was perfect.
Very much like some sort of mission you would get in a game, to protect someone who's moving through a hostile area.

This may be the only show where I get my laughs seeing the MC getting seriously MOB-FU! What seems to be a poignant death scene is just another page from the Mob-Fu book.

Awesome episode, so fun and cool, the way he kills them in such a macabre way is creepy and amazing, the dude is seriously dark. He just snipes them, hangs them, arranges them in a classroom, and humiliates them before killing them, the dude is mad, and I love it.

A lot of OP heroes come across the problem where the encounters they face are way below their level, so they have to moderate their power. Unlike other anime, his reasons are pretty good. He loves playing the background character and he doesn't want to make a scene until he can do it in a flashy way.

THIS EPISODE MADE ME LAUGH! Cuz Cid just took care of the cult members while Sherry was not looking when she was trying to escape and then Rex was going fight him by using his like magic net (I just forgot the name), and I didn't notice Cid was just behind him and just brutally killed him after Rex saw of the member killed around the class. When he killed him he just did the batman reference of him hanging upside down. Imagine if he says "I'm Batman" lol

We are approaching the end of volume 1

This was a pretty nicely done episode, we got to see just how insane Cid will go sometimes, this time he stopped his heart to fake his death.

The scene where he was sniping everyone from the roof was pretty cool too.

I think the next episode will probably be the finale for this arc.
seriously!!! they took 9 episodes for 1 volume
is volume that thick??

I absolutely lost it when Cid was hopping with joy seeing the school terrorist attack, the ultimate teenage boy fantasy. This anime is gold.

Anime was it's best 20000 years ago, when cavemen drew art with real depth.
Modern anime is all garbage. I miss great old days of anime.

You're powering through these episodes :-)

I actually the opposite of lame and there's a very specific reason for that, and it also foreshadows later events.

Damn, he’s excited. He’s living his fantasy. Without realising, he’s attracting more attention than he intended. Oh no! That girl is having her own fantasies about him. He’s just crossing off his bucket list in this episode. It’s nice to see him protecting Sherry, even though it’s on a whim. 

I loved the one sided fight against Rex.

Didn't expect Nu to try and kill her ex-fiancee, I guess he's not such a nice guy as he pretends to be? Cid just going around killing people like flies was pretty satisfying.

That blonde girl is definitely attached to Cid unintentionally after he 'sacrificed' himself for her; I like how things get so misunderstood lol At this point Cid isn't phased by anything in fact he's excited that the fake shadow garden takes over the academy. Sherry is so oblivious, I enjoy how comedic this altercation plays out as if she's doing a good job at sneaking around. Sherry finds out the source of the magic negation is an artifact that the enemy party is using and they're after the artifact that Sherry is studying. Lion's mane sacrificed himself but ends up getting eliminated.

Magical Academies in anime always seem to be attacked by a bunch of terrorists, every single time... They're the fictional equivalent of American school shooters.

This whole incident must be one hell of a wet dream come true for Cid, a scenario he wished to be in, and he executed his brilliant sacrificial act perfectly. Now, I'm not sure what Cid will do from here on out (about the fact that he FUCKING DIED IN FRONT OF HIS CLASS) If he came back to class in the future and brushed his 'death' off as some miraculous incident then he'll sound out a lot from his friends and especially to Oriana who now thinks that Cid romantically cared about her.

So I guess on one hand Cid did an exemplary job as a background character, only that his actions will bite him back in the ass as the consequences for all this would make him be an extraordinary character.

Cid's rant about appropriate fashion was on point! Bro got taste for sure.
