Trinity Seven - ep07

Now with things returning to the brewing conflict between Liese and the headmaster. The headmaster force Liese to stand-down because of his grimoire Solomon's Gate will cause you to go insane if you stare at it too long but it can only be seen by people with enough power. Which in a way creates a contradiction because Liese can't use finesse to win against the headmaster because he is more experienced. Then on the other hand she can't use raw power because his grimoire will ultimately driver her insane. This lead to Liese using his only real weakens his libido which large the headmaster uses as an excuse to not fight Liese. Although it seems his real purpose for losing is to alert Arata to the arrival of Liese.

Then with Liese's arrival Arata feels a greater urgency to learn Mantra Enchantment from Akio. That in way it is ironic that only when they need it does Astil Codex inform them that it learn the process awhile ago. Since now Arata can use it Akio gives him a bit of advice before he heads off and that is her magic strength is determine by the strength of her feelings. What's also interesting about this is that Astil Codex has to take human form to allow Arata to use the magic but the question is why she never took this form before. Since it seem more convenient than having Arata talk to a book. Then from learning about Akio's magic it reveal a bit about her past also point out a single point that we real don't know anything about the Trinity Seven.

Now with Arata empowered he is able to arrive on time to prevent Liese make a move on the others that are still weakened from their previous encounter with Liese. That with his surprise attack he is able to get back the magic that Liese stole from him but the interesting point is the manner in which Arata manifest Akio magic in the from of a dragon that is coiled around himself. It doesn't take long for it to be clear that they are in a bit of a dead lock. Arata will lose if she steals a kiss from him again but this is the only move she can take against him with Arata reinforcing his body with Mantra Enchantment. Then on the others side Arata isn't skilled enough to keep up with Liese speed since he is relying on Sora for detection. This remain true until Liese uses her trump card which can freeze time. That she stop time for everything except Arata so that she can tell him what she is going to do before she does it since she believe he can't stop her no-matter what he tries. However this allows him to fake her out by moving the seal from his hand to his tongue because he is expecting her to kiss him like she did before and she does.

That with his victory, she is no longer a demon lord also she is returning to the side of the Trinity Seven. It also seems like she didn't ever real wanted to harm any of them and it clear why Akio help him because they all wanted to save her, in the same way that he wants to save Hijiri. Further more with his victory over Liese it seems that she is beginning to fall for him. Although there is a bit of a problem since using her trump card prevents from returning to the normal flow of time. However she has enough strength to send Arata back. That this sets up the next episode where Arata is to be trained by Selina so that he can learn logos art which will allow him to return Liese to the normal flow of time. That one of the important point of this episode is that the reason behind the Trinity Seven is that they have reclaim the lost technique that associated with their brand of magic. The question is how are the lost arts related to Hijiri, and is there a deeper secret behind Hijiri's disappearance.
