Magical Warfare - ep02

Now with this second episode it seems like it is the second half of the introduction into the series. One of the first things they go into detail on is the nature of this ruin world and how it connects to the real world that exists without magic. It appears that 16years ago which according to the story is one year before each of Takashi's group is born, there was a war between Ghost trailers and 15 other magical groups. That the leader of the Ghost trailers Ryuusenji Kazuma cast a massive spell in his final moments that who of destroyed the world if it wasn't for the 15 other clans. They cast another spell to counter Ryuusenji's spell which resulted in splitting the world in two. That is the nature of these two world that at one time they were whole but to prevent the spreed of damage to the entire world it was contain with in this ruined world leaving the other half untouched by Ryuusenji actions. This also leads into the issue of the gift, that is was cause by a spell that cast in the other world to prevent magic from being used on people that aren't involved.

Now with the workings of the world explained Shijou Momoka gives them a choice to give up their magic and return to their previous lives or remain here while learning more about magic. It is very similar to the question that existed in the Matrix movies, do you which for the blue pill or the red pill. In the end Takashi choosing to stay but he true motives behind this choice is unclear. Did he make it of the desire to escape his family, maybe out of his desire to further protect Miu, or maybe he feels that Ghost trailers must be stop for their to be place for him to return to. Which ever was the motivating factor in his decision it causes Ida to choose to stay behind to support Takashi in his decision. While Isogami stays behind because she doesn't want the distance between herself and Takashi increasing further. That with their decision to stay it leads them into join the school, and it seems the first step to getting settled in is getting their class decide. Since they are all beginners they will be put into class-C and because of Miu's actions she is getting demoted to class-C as well.

This goes into class introduction, where the first step in becoming a mage is obtaining control over your Ancestral Magic and you control it with your aspect. The others had their aspect but it seems that Evasion magic doesn't start with an aspect that is why Takashi doesn't have. This is where he has Miu take Takashi to get his Aspect. It ends with him not just getting any aspect from the manager of the armory. That after Takashi explaining that he practiced kendo, that he would like a katana. He gets handed what he ask for, but it happens to be a sword that inscribed with a magical seal. The problem is that he might lose an arm if the swords magic is in conflict with his own, but the manager doesn't give him a chance to decline and attack him to forcefully awaken takashi magic while activating the magical swords magic as well. Thing turn out alright because he doesn't lose an arm it just that he needs more training to effectively use the sword. Now we might get back to the action next episode since everyone is now settled into their new life.
