This first half of the episode made me go 'Oh yeah, we're so back!'. I didn't actually see the second half, on account of the tonal whiplash of going from, you know, all of the absolutely everything about the entire first season to suddenly being a magic high school anime was so severe that it sent my head spinning for four and half full rotations, so now my head is on backwards and I can't see my screen. But it sounded pretty cool. (For real though, I don't mind one bit).

It did mention that crystal magic was powerful but hard to control. Due to the nature of herbal magic you can probably prep a lot. Like in a duel like that it is obviously not going to beat either in most cases, but in a siege it would be good since you can store up and use it as munition. It probably is the magic that works the best with scale. Of course it depends on how rare the material is, like the stuff we saw in season one used by Vroko didn't exactly seem easy to procure.

For me, that realization came during Klen's pep talk to Alicia over coffee. When Alicia self-deprecated that she was no longer a hero, Klen pointed out if her desire to be a hero was to make the world bigger, then she had made Nelluru's world bigger. And he himself never ordered Alicia to stop being a hero. That was a perspective change for me, as I realized there is more complexity to this Klen-Alicia relation than simple Master - Slave.

Likewise, you know there’s this unhealthy mindset that a female lead will put boys off from watching/reading a series, but Alicia is great example of how untrue that is from my experience. She doesn’t have any innate special powers, no unique destiny. Her regeneration comes at the cost of being hellishly painful and isn’t fullproof, and she had to fight a crazy powerful dark beast to get her sword. Fundamentally Alicia is just an ordinary person who worked incredibly hard to get where she is and simply helps to help humanity. She’s an absolute badass and an inspiration, honestly. Having said that I think her limitation this season is she’s out of her element in a school environment as opposed to combat, and needs to work to overcome that.

you know there’s this unhealthy mindset that a female lead will put boys off from watching/reading a series What gave you that impression? Almost all shows this season have at least one female lead. In fact, I am willing to bet that there are more female than male leads this season. It's to the point where a show like Black Torch sticks out, because so far it doesn't have a love interest or a female co-lead.
