This week we are tackling “Reign of the Seven Spellblades” now this isn't your typical cozy magic school and we spend a fair amount of time talking about the "might makes right" philosophy of Kimberly Academy. Not only that we also point out some things where it just didn’t sit right with us like where the teachers wait a full eight days before checking on missing students. Rick finds the whole setup pretty nonsensical, especially a weirdly flirtatious flashback involving the protagonist’s mother that left him feeling confused about the whole thing. We also take apart the show’s weird pacing, pointing out that you could probably skip several episodes and still have a decent handle on what’s going on. We also talk about the mechanics of the world and everything and our differences of views on those.
When Oliver Horn enrolls at Kimberly Magic Academy, which is a very prestigious but apparently very deadly magic school, where only four out of five students survive to graduation, he arrives with more than just books and ambition. Shortly after arriving through a series of events he teams up with a few other fellow first-years. As Oliver begins navigating a school full of dangerous labyrinths, monstrous creatures, and cutthroat upperclassmen. We find out that he isn't just there to study. He's carrying a deeply personal secret and a vendetta that threatens to consume everything around him. As the group bonds, battles, and bleeds their way through Kimberly's brutal curriculum, the truth behind the seven legendary spellblades and Oliver's true purpose begins to surface, pulling them all into a conflict far darker than anything on the syllabus.
