Welp, the school Melida is attending is having an event with another school.

As I expected, Vampir is there to support her when she needs it the most. Dunno how I feel about Elise at this point...she just feels so distant compared to the other cast. At least we got to see some of Melida and her past.

Melida is quite brave, taking down that monster as a child.

I guess that Melida will be picked but I didn't expect Elise to be picked as well.

I was enjoying the fight between Kufa and black Madia, too bad it was cut short.

Othello is one devious obachan, big ups to Kufa for busting her.

The lack of bust is real on this show, everyone is as flat as a this screen I'm looking at. I swear some of them must be boys in disguise, shit, I've never seen such flat chests in anime history. The illustrator must've been allergic to boobs, or something traumatic related to boobs occurred in his life.

Othello really betrayed herself, I feel bad for Melida, she don't deserve that.
Elise is going to lose intentionally I guess.

ROFLMAO, I was about to say the same thing. Like honestly, a balanced mixture of justice and plot should work well, right?? Like, this show is now basically showing two cases of flatness, both in character chest size and story xDD

So far I love everything about this show, the premise, the characters, the art style for the world they inhabit, the magic system and the way the characters use it, I just like it all immensely.

I'm not sure what Kufar's motivations are for pushing Melida. He's obviously interested in her talent and believes she may have the potential to acquire the 'Paladin' status, but there's something more. There has been the mention of "whether she's the one" a couple of times. He's providing Melida with emotional support as well and with the closeness between them he acts more like a lover than a teacher sometimes.

He acts in a very deliberate and calculated manner, so I'm pretty sure he's aware that by providing Melida with such close emotional support and encouragement, she's going to develop romantic feelings for him. Is he trying to create bonds between them and deliberately causing her to fall for him, so he'll be able to control or direct her if and when her talent to be a distinguished warrior appears? Or is he truly falling for her as well, I can't tell, maybe he can't either and it's a bit of both. It's an interesting dynamic that I'm looking forward to watching evolve.

So in case people didn't know, since they decided to take 4 episodes to even bring it up, there are stats and classes like a RPG game in this. Not that the actual numbers will ever really be relevant though.

Also, Rosetti's bust size totally went up a letter in her sleep attire. Hmm.

And it seems the name of Rosetti's class is Maiden, not Dancer. Honestly I like the "wrong translation" better.

Seems an event with other school will start soon!

Didn't expect that Melida and Elli would be both picked up to fight against each other!

The black hair girl that appeared in front of Melida was suspictious, and she really looks like Vampyr!

Seems Elli thinks that Melida have no chance of winning and she is planning to lose on purpose, curious to see if they will realy fight!

Vampir fight with that clown class was interesting, and seems he can copy all other classes!

Clown huh
Seems broken. I mean.. It literally is xd
Although these classes are kind of self explanatory.. I kind of wish they would explain it in some way... It seems like weapons are restricted to classes and techniques they learn too.. Then again, how do you even learn techniques? Can you learn anything you want or are you "born" with them?
The clown itself is still pretty mysterious too

And honestly, the whole Angel-drama doesn't really interest me that much. But I feel like thanks to that a certain gap between Angel - Vampir is created and makes Vampir's side all the more epic

Pretty much first thing I thought, especially when it gets known that the old maid sabotaged it, same with how Harry's name ended up in the Goblet of Fire.

This show is so painfully cringey. Thus far, the only interesting aspects are Kufa being a vampire in disguise and the Clown class girl.

Good episode.

Melida is too adorable. <3
I love how determined and straight forward she is.

Kufa vs Black Madia was interesting, I kind liked how the latter conversed with those cards and writing in fire.

Here's to hoping both Melida and Elise play a fair game.


Hahahahaha. XD

Well no, but actually yes.
limitation of Clown class is that you will never be as good in particular class as someone who inherently have this class.
Also Clown can't learn Paladin class and other royal classes.

I liked this episode quite a bit. Kufa is a really interesting and complex character, and I can't wait to delve further into his psychology

Clown class, ability to imitate all the other classes, a very good class indeed. Looks like Melida and Elise are being pitted against each other because of that maid, bad. I must say, I was quite disappointed, I would have enjoyed that fight scene if it was a little longer, still liked the episode though. I like the look of the uniforms of thegirls from the other academy, it looks better than Melida's academy in general.

I think this episode is much better than the previous episodes. I'm not sure how to feel about Elise, but I love the appearance of Black Madia. That fight scene was awesome, better than the fight scene last episode with that monster. I was sad to see it end so short. She's also an interesting character, talking with those cards that turn into fire. Looking forward to see more such fights.

Didn't expect this but so far I am actually enjoying the anime and currently reading the manga. Melida and Kufa are quite cute. I am glad it's not some big titties harem and they'll develop slowly.

Dunno why everyone has a thing for Rosetti, Melida is cute and shows constant growth and development. She is definitely my fave and awesome :'D

Tbvh the ppl who complain about the lack of big titties are really extra, flat chested girls exist u know. How's that even a problem? Perhaps the author has no boner for giant, unrealistic boobs or just doesn't care. It's quite refreshing I think.

Rosetta still clinging onto Kufa as usual...

Heh, tournament "arc"? It surely has the vibes though, got a good feeling about this...but the selection of sisters Elise and (unexpectedly) Melida have a lot to caution to, especially the latter. And who to blame other than the house servant Mrs. Othello, whose ambitions run high that Melida forced a hand upon her, one stepping stone towards out of the comfort zone.

Kufa being interrogated by the very same organization he was working for. "Black Madia", a fitting name for a Clown status. Despite all that, with the intention that Ellie loses to Melida, this momentum cannot be suspended.

As much as I want to say this was a decent episode for the things that are eventual to happen, all is at high stakes.

You can just rewatch it ┐( ̄ヮ ̄)┌ Melida's grandfather hired Kufa's guild to investigate whether Melida is his sons daughter or her mother had an affair with that Noble you see get killed in the prologue of 1st episode ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Paladin class is exclusive to royal families (epi 4) since she failed to show any signs of such power Kufa decided to assassinate her. I haven't read the LN yet so I'm not sure about it but in Epi 3 she showed signs of Paladin like power.
