In Episode 9 of The Beginning After The End, titled ‘The King Teaches,’ the narrative is set to shift focus toward Lilia, whose lack of a mana core places her at a social disadvantage, especially as her parents pressure her into enrolling at Xyrus Academy. Her insecurities begin to surface more intensely as she’s confronted with the stark realities of magical elitism when Arthur takes her and Eleanor on a trip to the city. Their peaceful outing is disrupted by arrogant Academy students, whose entitled behavior not only causes tension but deepens Lilia’s self-doubt.
While Arthur tries to diffuse the confrontation, he also begins to recognize the toll these social dynamics are taking on Lilia. Drawing from his own journey, he offers to teach both girls the basics of forming mana cores. This part of the episode is expected to introduce a more emotional tone—blending mentorship, empowerment, and the beginning of their magical awakening.
Meanwhile, Arthur continues to navigate his return to normalcy, still hiding key truths about his past from his parents. With Vincent Helstea’s support and growing interest in adventuring, Arthur begins to stand at the crossroads between familial expectations, noble alliances, and his evolving role in the world of Dicathen.
This episode promises a blend of action, subtle world-building, and heartfelt growth as Arthur quietly steps into a leadership role among his peers—fulfilling the title’s promise of a king rising again, this time not with power, but by guiding others toward their own.
