The Kidnapping and Confinement of Beast Girls

At Ranoa University of Magic, Rudeus confronts Linia and Pursena over the broken Roxy figurine they took from Zanoba, defeats them in a duel, and imposes a humiliating punishment with face paint. Zanoba's tearful apology softens Rudeus's anger, while the attendant later admits the markings are only removable paint. Rudeus declines to reveal his faith's object and to view the attendant's veiled face, and wonders afterward whether seeing it would have been irreversible.

• Daily routine and reflections

  The attendant runs through Sharia each morning, finds classes repetitive, and wonders about growing feelings for Rudeus after Luke's remarks on womanizing.

• Juliette's progress

  A month after arriving, Juliette uses earth magic without incantations, and Zanoba treats her as a fellow apprentice rather than a slave.

  Rudeus is furious when he sees the damaged Roxy figurine, and Zanoba explains that Linia and Pursena took it in a wager during his first year.

• Duel and confrontation

  Rudeus provokes Linia and defeats both opponents easily, then questions them about the figurine's destruction.

• Punishment negotiation

  Rudeus threatens the pair with the treatment he once suffered, admits touching a captive as an experiment, and seeks the attendant's advice on a fitting punishment.

• Face paint and bluff

  The attendant threatens permanent markings, then after the pair leave admits the threat was a bluff and the paint is removable with mana.

• Veiled face and departure

  The attendant offers and withdraws a glimpse of an uncovered face on Ariel's orders, and Rudeus wonders afterward about the irreversible consequence of seeing it.

Recent Timeline

• Luster Grizzly snow encounter (Season 2 Episode 4)

  Rudeus and Soldat's adventurers met a pack of at least ten Luster Grizzlies charging through a snowstorm. A red dragon then appeared and the grizzlies were revealed to have been fleeing it. Rudeus concealed the threat with a smoke screen as the party retreated, and the encounter ended in celebration.

• Panty thief accusation defused by Fitz (Season 2 Episode 5)

  Rudeus catches Ariel's panties dropped by Fitz from a window and is accused of being a panty thief by female students. The dorm teacher tries to punish him, but Fitz intervenes, threatening the teacher and mob with violence and injury until they stand down, and the teacher lets Rudeus go with a warning.

• Juliette's acquisition and naming (Season 2 Episode 6)

  A merchant found a six-year-old dwarf girl whose family had been enslaved over her parents' debts; Rudeus agreed to buy her, judging that she had lost all hope, and she was given the name Juliette, Zanoba's proposal being set aside in favor of the feminine form. She then began living with Zanoba and receiving language and silent-magic lessons from Rudeus.

• Punishment of Linia and Pursena over the figurine (Season 2 Episode 7)

  Rudeus defeated Linia and Pursena after they broke his Roxy figurine, then had the attendant threaten permanent face markings. The attendant later revealed the threat was a bluff and the paint removable, so the punishment ended in a warning rather than lasting marks.
