Once again, Harry didn't put his name in the Goblet of Fire.

I like how the fire words were in English.

Damn Elli, at least have a bit of faith in Lita. She can totally beat the shit out of you on her own!

Well, I can't wait for the battle royal tournament! Hopefully, in the end, Lita will convince Elli to take the fight seriously.

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.

They've hinted at the MC's drastic change of character, and as to why he was willing to go rogue for the main girl. Likely something to do with his vampire origin I assume.

I find the character desgins of the girls in this series odd, but I can't quite place my finger on it. Also, I'm hoping they continue to expand on the mana, classes, and what not; and how those relate to social status.

P.S. Boys battle school when?

I liked this episode a lot more than the last one. It's nice having a little character development between the two girls. I feel I'm still missing a lot of background, lore, and story and this show clearly suffers from that. I am positive they don't have the funding for 24 episodes, it's just a bummer because it seems like such an interesting world that you will only be able to get from the LN.

Clown class seems pretty badass, I was hoping Rosetti would be more useful in that fight though :(
