At the beginning of the episode, Arthur takes a stroll with his mother, Eleanor, Lilia, and Vincent's wife, Tabitha, in Xyrus. The city boasts several shops specializing in magic, and Arthur, sensing a presence in one of the shops, decides to browse the wares for sale. He finds beast cores, magical cores extracted from mana beasts. However, he already possesses Sylvia's beast will within his core, so he shows no interest in acquiring one.
While browsing the shops, Arthur encounters two students from Xyrus Academy. The boys tease Lilia and mock her lack of magic. The girl, who dreams of studying at Xyrus, is upset by her lack of powers, which even leads her to consider purchasing a beast core to hasten her awakening.
Arthur helps Lilia awaken her powers
After realizing Lilia is upset, Arthur offers to help her. In the web novel, before awakening the girl's mana, the protagonist meets Cynthia Goodsky, founder and headmaster of Xyrus Academy. However, this doesn't happen in the anime. It's possible this will be included in the next episode, as this meeting marks an important step in Arthur's journey, in which Cynthia reveals that, possibly, in the future, the boy will become the strongest.
In the anime, after Lilia and Eleanor's awakening, the entire family celebrates. This event is a significant one for the Helstea family, as Vincent and Tabitha dream of Lilia attending Xyrus, and the girl, who aspires to become a sorceress, aims to live up to her parents' expectations.
What to expect from the next episode of The Beginning After the End?
The episode highlights Arthur's reconnection with his family. Furthermore, it shows that he and Eleanor are comfortable with each other. However, if the anime follows the web novel's narrative, the protagonist is about to reveal his desire to embark on a grand adventure—something that deeply affects his parents' emotions.
Furthermore, in the episode's post-credits scene, a mysterious figure appears. The hooded man, accompanied by some armored guards, appears to be heading to the auction house. According to a post on the anime's official profile, the character evokes a foreboding feeling. Therefore, it's likely that the mysterious man will make life difficult for Arthur Leywin.
Episode 10 will be released next Wednesday, June 4th, on the Crunchyroll streaming platform, with Portuguese subtitles. For those who want to learn more about the series, the comics are available in physical form on the NewPop website . A digital version is also available on Tapas .
