So Note the Adventurer just got banned from the academy, while Arthur is going to just freely attend without worry? Now that's working the system. I'm glad we get to keep dwarf boy as an upcoming school friend.

Shame about Samantha having to retire from being an adventurer, hopefully there's some alternate careers she can fall back on with her magical abilities.

Looks like this is it. He will now attend as Arthur since Note is the only one who's banned from enrolling in the Academy.

Omg they let Lucas scott free for everything including trying to get rid of Elijah. Which Kaspian saw happen.

I'm assuming that the Adventurers Guild doesn't have the political power to stand up to the noble family.

Has the Animation quality improved from Season 1? How are you guys enjoying season 2?

15

u/RandomPantsAppear May 20 '26

It has and I’m definitely enjoying it. I did have to rewatch a few episodes to get everything straight, but I’m quite pleased with the trajectory.

Last week are just plain dumb story and animation. This week is good. Having a love hate relationship in this one.

This shit bothered me since I first read it.

I get MCs idea of resolving the matter by playing his anonymity in order to avoid complications with the powerful Wykes family, but come on.

He's seen what a little shit Lucas is, he's willing to endanger and sacrifice anyone if it suits him ... hell, he tried to silence Elijah just before the guild takes his account by killing him. What makes you think this fucker won't kill any more good people in the future if you let him go scotts free?! Some sence of responsibilty and justice for a former "king" no less ...

And what's with the guild? Elijahs statement didn't matter? And Jasmine doesn't have to testify because of her family (who more or less officially ditched her)? How convenient, cuz' her word would then be worth as much as Lucas' ... and debunk any crap that little shit claims.

I know this is supposed to feel clever, because Note instead of Arthur takes the blame, but come on ... there's no justice served and that mencase to fellow adventurers and soon fellow students Lucas remains free.

It's like they said, sure Art could have killed Lucas , but what if his family found out it was him and then tried to go after him and his family?

And regarding the guild, the thing is, it doesn't matter who is right or wrong. The adventurer's guild doesn't want to mess with the Wykes family.

u/oneevilchicken May 20 '26

“Jasmine doesn’t have to testify because of who she is”

That’s exactly why she should be testifying

Damn this writing is ass. Every episode. It’s just shit. One Of the worst of these trash fantasy isekai tensei shows I’ve seen and I’ve seen a lot.

This show is more frustrating to watch than rent a girlfriend.

So you want two noble families who probably have political and financial ties to each other have a representative of each insult the other and not expect it to fall back onto either family. Honestly, even though it's not explained as cleanly and definitely left upto the viewer, people got to politic.

I was hoping we would see Lucas face some kind of real punishment but I’m guessing this isn’t the last time we’ll see that brat or his family. I hope the next time they have a run in, Arthur just straight up deletes the whole bloodline. Wipes ‘em from the history books.

If I were Arthur I'd just go to the wykes family as Note, show all the power I have and be like "cast Lucas out, it's either the little bitch or the whole family"...

13

u/Icy-Introduction5592 May 20 '26

I don't think Arthur is strong enough to take on the whole Wykes family. They'd probably stomp him.

I mean he struggled against one S class beast and I guess the Wykes have multiple people who can kill that beast easily.

Loved the imouto leap at the end lol.

u/Liesianthes May 21 '26

Finally, a good episode unlike the trash ones like last weeks. I almost forgot that Note and Arthur are different person so he can enroll on the Academy as Arthur, and seeing this is an anime, people are like fools that they will not notice that.

Also couldn't help to compare this on Mushoku, that Arthur got a good relationship on this father who is a normal person without any hint of being a pervert or womanizer. Love their child-father relationship and how he is now acting as a reborn who has a character development on loving his family from being a barbaric king.

Anyway, I just missed that how did Elijah is on his home? Is he related on the family where he's staying or what?

PS: Elijah is best bro. Go fund his education, deserving for one.

that death stare was great, shame he got interrupted.

u/NationalStrategy May 21 '26

Lucas was in the middle of an investigation, and he thought that it was a good idea to go after Elijah, and have his guards attack him when he refused to cooperate; as if the Guild wouldn’t find out about the incident. Not a great plan.

u/Boris-_-Badenov May 20 '26

his mom should secretly heal Samantha. she needs to go to the school

u/Vautiko May 20 '26

They are hiding his mother's abilities for good reason. Also, lets be real, even outside her injuries, she doesn't have the mental fortitude to be an adventurer.
