"No matter what happens, don't give up" Surely, this sentence will play an important role in the future.
Thane is still keeping Ralaire with himself. lmao..... 🤣

Ralaire is so adorable. :3

Nice duels. Claire really did her best and Rae was just toying with her. :P

Damn. It's impressive how close Rae's exam score was to Claire's.

Rae, who had tamed a Water Slime larva and named it Ralaire, brought her back to the academy. Alongside his maid duties, he diligently trained Ralaire as his familiar. In the midst of this, the selection trials began to join the Royal Academy's autonomous organization, the Academy Knights, responsible for managing student conflicts and subduing monsters on the grounds. Having passed the written exam, Claire, Rae, Misha, along with Rod, Thane, and Yu, faced off in the practical exam—a one-on-one mock battle.

How are they not able to tell the movement of Ralaire? I can clearly see it sitting and twirling. Among many slime companions I've seen, Ralaire might just be one of the cutest. Watching Relaire give her all in performing pet tricks was absolutely adorable. I'm not particularly fond of the princes, but I was really rooting for Thane; he truly earned that victory. The matches were impressive, and the characters were well-portrayed.

Wonder what will happen in this Knight class.

The magic battles in this one were quite cool, despite the fact the magic system it simple and not interesting, definitely not something I got flack for last week lol. But really I did like the fights, the ost was pretty good as well, definitely felt intense. And damn Claire is really packing the heat, if it wasn’t for Rae having dual casting she would have had a much better shot at winning, it was pretty funny tho how Rae summoned materials this world doesn’t know yet and dropped Claire into a hole lol.

And after all that went down, everyone ended up making it into the knights after all, and Rae once again tells Claire to never give up which makes it double sus but I’m sure we’ll find out what it means eventually. And Prince Thane is now stuck with Ralaire, the biggest surprise of the episode lol.

I love the slime getting adopted by Thane for a while 😆 and felt vaguely bad for Claire at the end of the fight, but also love all the humour in it, and funny/nice conclusion to everything in the end (and quite sweet and wholesome with the "never give up" bit again).

Thane's intensity and the cuteness of Ralaire are a perfect match. I cracked up at the end when they showed he was still holding on to it.

I was kind of hoping to see Rae go all out during the battle, but I guess she only needed to go half power. Happy that Claire is more accepting of Rae's abilities now as she didn't seem too upset over losing this time. Or at least, she got over it rather quickly.

I'm kind of surprised Claire is still betting Rae to get her kicked out. I can see Claire wanting to beat Rae to get back some lost pride from the first time, but I can't see her wanting to get Rae kicked out now, especially since Rae is her maid now and is supposed to take care of her in school. Not to mention they're on better terms after last episode too. I can only guess this is the Otome Game attempting to course-correct back to the original script where the villainess bets the protag yet again to get her kicked out, while the protag not being the villainess' maid.

I was worried about Rae's first favor being for Claire to never give up, now I'm even more concerned her second favor is the same. What awful fate did the Otome Game's original script have in store for the villainess? It's starting sound like whatever it was it utter breaks her. At first I thought maybe suicide, but then I remembered Rae wrote a fan-fic about Claire "falling from grace, and then rising back up to peak-nobility". So probably not something so life-threatening, but still sounds like something crushing.

I was also surprised they had modern electronics, the announcers of the Knight duels had speakers and headsets on.

I loved the new combined ED, I never realized there were two different vocal tracks, one for Rae's ED, and one for Claire's ED. I knew the visuals were different, but the vocals being different never clicked.

That is pretty intense for just some sparring level shit like damn especially Rae was close to absolutely dying. No way would she last a second being hit by a flame that can melt rocks even if it was an accident.

Claire might be trying to make Rae take things more seriously and give her all instead of not making the most of her abilities, maybe?

I thought that the fights were pretty well done but I wonder what Rae means when she is having Claire swear to never give up. Rae could've had Claire go on a date or something so is this an indirect way of telling Claire to never give up on life? Or on Thane? Maybe we'll see what she means later on.

The battle scene was so short in the manga, I'm lowkey surprised it took a whole episode for it. But seeing it animated was really cool though!

Relaire is even cuter!!!

Loved the scene when Rae used modern-Japan knowledge of materials to have an upper-hand. It's so smart, I keep grinning every time I read/watch it, lol.

Also, Rod & Yu doing an impression of Rae was the best!! Have a screenshot of the Manga scene and now a screenshot of the anime as well. XD

Can't wait for ep5! Especially bc the preview showed a scene I don't remember in the manga!! o.o

@Alfredo-Sauce well, Rae said in ep3 that she doesn't mind longing for Claire from afar. Besides, her spending time with Claire and getting bullied is already like a date, so I'm sure she doesn't need an actual one.

Also, remember when Rae mentioned that she wrote Fanfictions of Claire living a life as a gardener or something, after the events of the game? Claire is the villain after all, and villains never have a happy end. It's possible that – at least in the og plot of the game – Claire has a very miserable life after the heroine gets together with one of the princes and defeats her. So maybe Rae means that, once the game plot catches up to her, that she should never give up in those hard times. My theory at least.

That was actually a nice magic battle, and I enjoy seeing Rae getting all creative with the spells she uses and things she can make, not bad at all... even tho Claire was also very scary, she's quite the strong caster as well to be honest!

Other than that, I'm happy they joined the student council after all those mock battles, and I wonder what kind of insanity Rae is preparing for the next episodes.

@Aniess22 I don't think so? At least they keep saying she's "a dual caster". Maybe I missed something at the beginning, but if she can use four, then she doesn't know that herself.

This episode was fireeeee, I love how versatile the magic is, it makes every fight captivating and you never know what will happen next. I think Thane is cool and I feel like he will become friends/allies with Rae and Claire, and idk why but I'm getting bad vibes from Yu.... Rod is just kind of there. I feel like the next episode will also be a good one.

she straight up told her the familiar was named after their supposed ship, lol

Claire laughing like that in front of exams results still doesn't get old, too bad for her Rae just doesn't give up (even if some faces of her look weird and it's easy to ask if she's just made like that or the animation budget is cheap, at some point she seriously looked like Hermes from Futurama when he also had a brain slug over his head)

Not too entertained by the fights even if the first one seemed to have a pokemon-esque music and a similar situation to the Dingodile boss fight from Crash Bandicoot 3... the second outcome was unexpected.

Claire isn't eliminated after all (not that surprising) but the previews for the next episode can be more interesting

This episode was a bit 'meh'. Worst one so far, I'd say. The show seems to be at its best when it's simply characters talking to each other. The action sequences and magical fights are pretty dull. I hope this changes later on.

Liked this episode much more than the previous two. We got to see Claire behaving like a villainess again and Rae trolling/thirsting after her plus the magic spells were used in more interesting ways than just having them fire spells at each other and saying that so-and-so won because they had more energy or something boring like that.

I wish Claire had asked Rae why she keeps asking her for the same promise. I have no idea how sound dissipated fire (if this makes any kind of sense someone let me know please 😅). I kinda wish that they had made some comment on the mana these different kinds of spells take to cast (I imagine Claire’s fire barrier would take more the hotter she has to make it but this isn’t really talked about in the show so I dunno). Mostly though I liked this episode. I hope that there’s some more plot established to do with their newfound positions next episode and we get more character moments with Rae and Claire and maybe some of the princes. Starting to become more interested in Rod’s character. I thought he’d just be a jerk but some of his comments during his fight with Misha make him seem like a kinder or more empathetic person so I’m curious to see more of them as well.

I assume like most romcom type shows that there will be some development by the end. Whether they get together yet or not I dunno since this season probably won’t cover the entire series of LNs but maybe they get together early and a lot of the series takes place while they’re in a relationship. Either way though probably won’t be any big development until the end. Hopefully there’s good development between them and for each of their characters leading up to that though.

Loving this series. Already loved the manga from the little bit that I read but the anime is great too.

This whole "Never give up" thing must be foreshadowing something in the future that Rae isnt letting on about. Clearly she's a complex character with a lot of plans and knowledge.

@TimeFliesAway Wasn't it kind of obvious from the was I phrased my message? Yes, I feel like their relationship is repetitive and without any real progression, obviously I want at least some romance in something tagged as "girls love". Even "Yuri is My Job!" had some romantic moments, and that was the worst GL show I've watched so far. Claire's relationship with Rae looks like an elementary school banter
btw, I'm not saying the show sucks, it's not even that bad. just needs some development in the "girls love" department
