Will's victory is acknowledged by the school and now out of a sudden, he became very popular.

Colette didn't waste time asking him out on a date although she makes it look like it's to get attention away from him. Either way, Colette looked very embarassed as she should be. Although she dressed up pretty for the occasion, I find her presence silly for the most part. Still, Will deserve the praise he got from school. He's earned it but I'm looking forward to the next arc. He's just starting to show more potential that I believe we'll see alot more of. And might also keep an eye on Lihanna.

Blue Hair is Noble for accepting his defeat & apologies to dwarfs for the rude behavior shown earlier.
Rosti ruined Collete's date with Will lol 🤣. a very sound argument by Colette for sure.
"Welcome to the world of top class students" my thoughts when he entered the room✨. Ignor is an intelligent Character for sure.
Finally top brass & school acknowledges will's potential🤩.
The underground dungeon expedition begins & the introduction of new enemy (don't forget to watch post credits), I'm excited for the next episode 🔥

The Ending Theme changed again lol see for yourself 🤣:-

Colette holy shit you tryna kill me. She looked amazing today, but why they do my baby like that. Setting her up for the date just to get cockblocked by Rosty lmao. Poor thing, getting his attention was hard enough when he wasn’t popular, now Will entering his popular phase with the boys and girls 😢

I actually agree with Colette being upset about all those students wanting to be cool with Will now that he showed out on the big stage, yall were just calling him a loser before now yall wanna be friends lol.

Seems like things went from zero to 100 with Rosty today tho. Kinda figured he had a crush on Will, but damn I didn’t think he and Colette would damn near come to blows in public over it lol. “We bathe together every night and he loves me more than you Colette” 😭 bro does not hold back

Whole time Will is off being recruited by Lihanna to her Praxis team. Her design is really good, she’s so cute! “How can you look down on someone who’s defeated you” lmao COOK. Leave it to the elf dude to talk some sense into Sion and Julius because they clearly forgot their place in the pecking order

Can’t wait to see this Praxis arc, looks like shit is gonna get pretty dark, dude just popped someone’s head in the post credits scene.. I’m ready

You know, the more they try with Rosti, and with everything around him, the more obvious it seems. And maybe thats the intention, so i guess. I mean there is only one other character in the series with an identical mannerism as his ...

Also, there is quite a huge amount of build up and overall foreshadowing in this story, like quite a bit. Feels like this whole dungeon, academy, tower thing, all of this is just a tiny bit of whats actually out there to come.

Was nice to have some growth/pay-off with Will finally getting some recognition from others (since it was pretty silly that people were still calling him talentless etc. when he's outdoing everyone again and again).

Seems like it could be interesting next episode with wizard trials.

Kind of shame that it's relegated to a cave again, since a lot of shows seem to just put a lot of action in uniform and unexciting looking caverns really. At least the previous episodes had the forest and arena to balance it out though.

Putting aside everything else, did Rosty deadass sit across the table from Colette all night at the party without introducing himself or talking to her? We went straight from that scene to him acting like they'd never met at the shopping trip

For some reason I thought the date would be with Elfie but so much for that. Hilarious stuff with Colette and Rosty though, so he's a guy confirmed. Unless there's a genderbend magic of something. Will sure got popular after his display in the festival. He joined Lihanna's party which will by far be the strongest party. We even got a rare scene with Lihanna smiling after Will joined her. The last part got me excited and it reminded me of Danmachi with the dungeon exploration, excited for it. Also for those who still didn't understanding why Will didn't get a lot of credits from exploring the dungeon, now you got the explanation. Villains in post credit scene, ofc there will be trouble in this kind of events.

i like this as a more laid-back episode. and it was shaping up to be a pretty great episode with will and colette, until freakin rosty hopped into the frame smh. well, it definitely seems like there's more than meets the eye with rosty but i still wasn't a fan of allat, was doing too much. colette was great though. upcoming dungeon arc seems interesting.

Rosty and Colette fighting over Will out loud was genuinely really funny, I was cackling so hard when Colette imagining Will and Rosty bathing together and comparing "sizes" LMAO 😂. Also I didn't expect Julius to actually repent and not being a total asshole for once, it felt a bit too abrupt but I guess it's nicer this way. Hopefully there will be no more pointless infighting amongst them, especially when the actual bad guys (presumably) appear in the next episodes.

Will's popularity has surged thanks to his impressive feats during the festival, but the switch up is hilarious. Same people who wouldn't even spit in his direction want to be buddy-buddy now, and they still can't be bothered to use his actual name, still calling him "Flunkee" 💀

Colette finally had an opportunity for a date with Will but got cockblocked by Rosty, she didn't have to be done dirty like that. His relationship with Will is something to say the least, aint no way they actually bathe together 😭 and since there was such a heavy focus on Rosty this ep, I'm curious as to why his VA still hasn't been credited. In the credits, it just says "???," and even here on MAL it only shows his French and Spanish VAs. Hell, I even checked the cast announcements from a few months ago and nothing. So odd 🤔

Will has really come up, getting recruited for the Praxis into the group of the top students. I'm glad Wignall humbled Sion and Julius, at least he seems to be relatively reasonable and level-headed. The post-credit scene was ominous, this arc is shaping up to potentially be another good one.

Why everybody was a powder keg in this anime? Even the friendly Colette and Rosty would have a head-to-head confrontation like that. If it were just some ijiwarui that can be laughed off, it would be fine, but not that forceful clash at 12:21. No! It made me hate these characters.

@Myetx Agree. It is probably just they didn't control the pace very well?

Akaseaka said:
Multiple characters had put up a fight with Will in the last 4 episodes, but I can't really tell the difference between these characters. They had exactly the same mindset, treated Will with exactly the same attitude, and wielded equally ostentatious magic.

Even the story of Will fighting without his sword got boring. There were already a full episode showcasing Will fighting with and without his sword. And now in this episode, Will was defeated again twice simply because either he didn't have or couldn't use the sword.
They could probably save a whole episode in the first arc (episode 01 to 04) and they could probably save at least two thirds of an episode in the second arc if they are really short on time.

A bit of time off in between events. Will suddenly being recruited by everyone after they saw his incredible sword display at the arena. Using his sword to defeat Julius wand is not an easy thing. Will did an incredible job showing off his prowess and effectiveness in battle. All these students who used to mock and look down on him noe begging for Will to join their party in the upcoming dungeon. Extremely ironic seeing how they act to Will now that he's not just a useless laggard in their eyes anymore. Oh how the turn tables, luckily Colette is there to intervene since Will is so friend starved he's too eager to forgive them just to have friends. Will and Colette almost having a nice date until Rosty interrupted. Being a bit too possessive of Will, got some mad creepy vibes from Rosty how he was talking about Will. Lihanna making her own move on Will trying to recruit him to her party for the dungeon. She's already assembled A hell of a crew with Julius, Sion and the elf Wignall. Two of whom Will has obviously already defeated so they're not too happy about him joining. Wignall putting those two in their place so even begrudgingly they go along with Will being with them all. Lihanna is a bit of an airhead but she's got her heart in the right place. Will agreeing to join them in the dungeon which will help him get much needed credits. Colette tags along to keep an eye on her man. They'll all need to cooperate if they want to get credits and also not die by vicious monsters.

@Myetx You obviously don't know what filler means.

Filler is material made up for the anime that's not from the original source material. Filler is NOT down time or slice of life portions of a story. just because you didn't like it doesn't make it filler

I thought the Praxis would be a good opportunity for write Colette out of the story for a little and focus on Will working with another Party, but No...sadly that's not the case. She has certainty grown stale for me personally.

The end of the episode sure was something.

Honestly, I just wish there was more to this story, but unfortunately we won't get that. I find the world very interesting, the animations are great. But more complex characters, more dramatic events, etc.
Colette deserves better tbh.

This is probably just a me thing, but for some odd reason I enjoyed this episode more than the last lol. I mean, in shounen it's rare for us to get some gay love in there, and for a rivalry against the MC to be between the main love interest and some guy... that's unique ngl.

Though, now, it's back to the action. This is gonna be a pain to watch, with red hair and ice dude being here and all.

If even after this episode, Rosti is not somehow related to Elfaria, then I'm not sure about this series. Otherwise, they glorifying all that "intimate" moments between him and the dude just to rile up Colette doesn't make much sense.

Anyway, the arc this time around seems much more interesting than whatever the tournament arc was, especially with actual villains making appearance, and not just having the repeat of those three-four characters sounding like a broken record and bullying our fragile protag.

So until proven otherwise, I'll continue to consider Rosti as Elfie.
So I guess it's much more deep than her just having multiple Will's that she sleeps with, she also holds hands, bathes with, et cetera with Will on the daily, with Will being oblivious?! LOL. (I don't think Will knows it's Elfie, but all the more reason LOL)

I feel kind of bad for Collette, but at same time, she has no chance against Elfie, all she had is "we hugged until 4 years ago" while she dogpiled him at 2 years old and now bathes with him every night! Crazy how she gave herself a bigger donger than Will LOL

YES!!! That apology is perfect, actions>words. Him losing apparently also made him lose eyes of the scouts.

Not only will this be the most dangerous Praxis ever, apparently their are to strong hostiles that have mission at the same time so intend to just kill all the students. Collette is the only friend of the 5 top-students that's like "nah, I don't care if i wasn't invited!!!, I'm with Will!!!" Rosti is such a huge help with his magic tools, and I'm sure Collette is also huge help with her Earth Magic as we already saw.
5/5, I could imagine Rosti close to me like that as we bathed <3

Let the All-Student Praxis be the best opportunity for Will Serfort to gain the most credits of all students and stand above all. Even though he cannot use magic, his sword abilities will pay off.

Rosty is such a good friend for Will, he even prepared him some magic items:)

Ok we got an all star party formed including Will and by extension Colette I guess. She deserves some pity after all that she went through in this episode. She dressed all nice for her shopping date with Will only to get Cucked by Rosty and shoved in her face how much closer they are. We even learn they bath together including confirmation that Rosty is a guy. Not some crossdresser I guess and from Will it seems Rosty is even bigger down there as well. Kinda weird though still to tell you female friend this like who asked? This comedic romantic rivalry between Colette and Rosty was an ok bit I guess but I really didn't care about it at all. At least in the end it got a bit more hype with Lihanna. I really do like Lihanna from what we get of her this episode. She's got ambition. Elf dude we still don't really know much of but at least he's not hot headed like the other 2 that got crushed by Will. The elf guy Wignall I really do hope we get more of him. We see in this episode that he was able to understand all of Will's strengths that he's shown last episode and acknowledge Will's strength unlike the other two so he's already a lot more likable than the other two. I'm afraid he's going to be sidelined as just the other strong mage character though that's likable but boring. His line of
“How can you look down on someone who’s defeated you”
was pretty good. He cooked Sion and Julius there.

We also get an antagonistic force finally I guess besides the other students or teachers. So I'm guessing the all-star party will have to face this guy who's going around just killing students. Still seriously wtf are the teachers doing? Some guy got in and is going around beheading students. I hope we get to see the teachers fight and show their abilities as well.

I also wonder if Sion and Julius will become more likable characters from here on out. I can definitely see the potential for Julius at least with him apologizing and washing the dishes for the dwarves in this episode. Sion still though is just a massive tsundere.

Overall ok episode, It is mainly a setup for the start of the dungeon event. Will is finally being recognized now that people realize his strength.

Will's victory may be small, but at least he did fight for the dwarves with Julius being relegated to kitchen duty as his punishment for losing the bet.

As expected, with the week-long all-student Praxis dungeon expedition on the way, Will gets popular with those wanting to recruit him into their party, and Colette defends him to starve his only friendship-deprived self. At the very least, she does at least know that she has feelings for Will, which he doesn't give a second thought to it being a date and such, and being a gentleman at the best of times...if not for Rosty interferering with the date, barring that both he and Colette are meeting for the first time. It's gay pleasure and teasing all at the same time since Colette is always put on the sidelines fighting against Rosty's aggressiveness, but it's clear that the latter does feel that he's somebody else trying to fight for affection, and just when things are moving, getting invited by Lihanna Owenzaus to her party alongside Sion, Julius and Wignall..she's Miss Perfect, but imperfect when it comes to her sense.

Lihanna's reasoning to combine the strongest forces for the Praxis, combining the forces of both commoners and nobles together, of which Lihanna is like Will in every way being poor, he made the fateful choice to not just ascend the Tower and be part of the Magia Vander, which perfectly aligns with his goals.

The week-long Praxis dungeon expedition arc starts now, what can Will contribute to the upstanding party?
