This may be the lowest ranking episode of this season for me. Not to say that there was anything wrong with it, but it just felt very average to me. The pacing was slower than expected, but I believe it’s because we’re gearing up for something great with the second test.

The episode shows the two apprentices and their perspectives on taking the test.
It also features emotional moments that make it warm.

Overall — Exciting test, 8/10

This is a good build-up episode. The other characters get their development through the way they confront their insecurities. The visual and the background music is great as usual.

Past few episodes have been quite slow and feel like fillers.

Another episode not progressing the main character at all, just a overall setup for the next episode, also exploring unanswered questions for previous episode, but not answering them yet either.

Does not feel like the last 3 episode of an otherwise strong anime since the beginning.

I liked how the episode showed the difference in Qifrey's teaching method compared to other teachers.

I really love Olruggio's character. He seems tough, but he's actually so warm-hearted. On another note, I just can't help but notice the details in Coco's subtle actions, especially how she fixes her hair. It's simply so detailed and clean.

Coco is so fond of magic, I can actually cry. I hope she can keep that whimsy of her forever. I haven't read the manga yet and I don't want to bc honestly- people are saying that this happiness? Yeah it won't last long. Like... WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?? Also the relationship between Qifrey and Olruggio... heh I know what you guys are. Besides that, baby Richeh is so ADORABLE. Her voice?? Omg??? This anime just wants me to cry wth. Furthermore, two new characters are introduced this episode, one is ESPECIALLY an ass.

I didn’t expect to see this side of Riche’s personality, it was really interesting. I like how the story gives attention to the other characters instead of focusing only on Coco. Everyone gets their moment and doesn’t feel like just another NPC.

Love how this time we get to see more of Richeh's! I've been curious about her for a while, and it coinciding with Agott's test is bound to make things interesting. It may very well bring changes to the girls once more, but whether that's good or not is going to be something I look forward to.

Nice anime as magic fan

EPISODE CONTEXT

Coming directly off 'A Promise in Silver,' where Agott's preparation for her second test was front and center, this episode pivots to Richeh as the examination gets underway inside Serpentback Cave. With only two episodes remaining in the season, this chapter serves as the emotional grounding before what will likely be a more climactic close — developing the apprentices as individuals before the season draws their journeys together.
