The second episode of The Ancient Magus’ Bride Season 2 has brought us to the magic academy, a place where magic and sorcery are learned. Chise is getting used to school life and has already made some new friends, hoping to slowly make her first friendships amongst her peers.
Magic 101: Chise and Alice’s magecraft demonstration turns chaotic
Chise’s first day in college started with her saving a frail maiden named Philomela, who fainted in her arms. Chise gave her some herbs to calm her physical being down, and the two become acquainted. Chise and Alice were both chosen to do a demonstration of magecraft, with Elias dressed in his human self to teach them as a proper teacher. Renfred supervised the demonstration, and the other students tried out their magic spells.
Secrets of the magic academy begin to unravel: Who is Rian Scrimgeour?
One student, in particular, engulfed the salamander in anger, almost getting eaten by it, revealing his true nature. He was lectured by Renfred, and the secrets of the magic academy began unlocking its doors. Rian Scrimgeour, a student of affection, wants to learn from Chise, and the mystery builds from there. The episode ends with a scene where Chise is supposed to be researched at the academy.
Folklore comes to life in The Ancient Magus’ Bride Season 2 Episode 2! Meet the snarky will-o’-the-wisp and tsundere salamander
The episode successfully draws on folklore more heavily than ever before, bringing individual personalities of spirits to life. The will-o’-the-wisp is portrayed as a snarky little bugger, the saucy fire spirit, and the tsundere salamander is like a scaly cat. It’s interesting how the differences between “magic” and “alchemy/sorcery” are explicitly discussed, as they are indistinguishable to most people.
