Another nice episode.With the beginning showing Nina's past in the intercity match,where she almost grabbed the opponent's flag but somehow was stopped by her own member team (now is the leader of group 16).Not sure if the guy who stopped her intended to make her (and his) team loose altho he saved her from the attack,at the cost of losing the match.From there she swore to herself that she won't give up and never ever loose again to anyone,anymore again.
As for Layfon,he is surely an asshole,not only for hiding his true power and releasing it during critical time and single handedly beating all the group 16 members (which caught everyone's attention at that time),but also slowly becomes the main harem in this series.Nina that fought him during the training match,almost lose her chin to Layfon altho it was just Layfon's fast attack without even using his power.But when Nina said she wanna try her power skill,she was surprised that Layfon didn't counter it with his own power,instead he was just defending using his muscle strength,and being pushed away to the wall and faint,which caused Nina to disappoint,since she had an eye for Layfon's strength eversince she saw how he stopped the quarrel between 2 Military Arts students in ep 1.
But the incident during the trial match between group 16 and 17 revealed Layfon's true strength.For whole time things seems to do hard for group 17,but when Layfon released his true power,and beating group 16 down single handedly,Nina was shocked,caused the Layfon she saw at that time was totally different with Layfon that ended up in the hospital becoz of her own attack.He has this much power to begin with,then what was that training all about then?Her pride was completely shattered,as she realized that this was her "complete defeat" to Layfon.Layfon was totally not on the same par as her,and if ever Layfon uses his true power during the training,it would be her that ended up in the hospital instead.
Feli seems to know this whole things about Layfon's power.From what she observed while sitting beside Layfon's body on the bed (damn),she saw how Layfon's body was healed completely.And from there she knew that Layfon was truly strong...and i'm not really sure about Feli's being highly hoped by everyone to become what she against to,but she said before Layfon left the train,that he also was the same like her,and she hoped that she don't respond to all of that,and just act in the way he is.However Layfon ignored that words from Feli during the last minute,and now he has become the centre of the crowd's attention,and Feli felt betrayed by Layfon's action.
I think what actually happen here was,when Feli uses her telepathy power to transfer Nina's thought at that time to Layfon,she probably did it with the intention of Layfon using his power to save her from being bashed by group 16's leader,just like what he did in episode 1.But it was the opposite that happened...Layfon used his power to not only saved Nina but also made his team won the trial match.Probably if Layfon's action was only to save Nina and not defeating the whole members of group 16 and captured their flag,then it wouldn't make Feli feel so bad.But of course Layfon didn't think like that especially after hearing Nina's thought of never want to lose and don't want to be defeated.He had no choice but to respond to Nina's thought.
The whole storyline were crafted beautifully...lots of plots,revelations and character development in here.I guess that's what happen when a true hero trying to be a jerk and look goofy,gaining lots of fame and harem-ity,but also have to face lots of drama and QQ from everyone around him.Layfon was surely one interesting character in here....i wonder how he gonna live his life in such world where he not only have to hide his true identity and power,but also have to become the centre of attention among the girls in that academy,when he already has a girlfriend to begin with
Now we have the OP,i only like the 2nd half of the OP where the fighting scenes started.The first half where the main characters were introduced didn't seem to appeal that much to me.Well overall it wasn't that bad i guess?And just like last week,this episode too didn't have any ED on it.
This episode i give it 9.5/10.Abit improvement than last week i guess?
Minus 0.5 point becoz of Layfon being an asshole,altho i like it.
