I think you missed the Rank of Igris, it's Rank:KNIGHT , which is not the type ,it is a Rank of strenght like a Grade . others are just regular. and also Igris is probably equal to mid A rank hunter, Jin woo is probably High A rank
Hunter cha cha wasn’t motion sick, rather she closes her nose because there’s a pungent smell that comes off hunters. the more pungent the smell as rank is higher. This strange phenomenon, only her suffered.
No other reaction videos are close to his ,he understands every hype moment also he reads all details the thats +1 , it will great to see him again in SL Season 2 as he understands hype
I like how he gets every details right just by pausing then reading. This proves us that reading and analyzing the details while watching is important so we can actually know what is actually going on. Best reactor ever!
I actually searched for reachtions of ch . 12 only so I can distinguise betweeen bad, ok, good and very good reactions... This one get my very: VERY GOOD aproval...
In case you didn’t know, in 12:46, Jinwoo uses stealth to basically reverse search the mages. The eyes which uncover his stealth also simultaneously reveal the mages location
I find it pretty annoying how they completely gloss over such important details. Scenes like that really made you realise how quick witted Jin Woo is, and the anime pretty much removes that aspect of him by not explaining.
@@justanotaku7307fr bro, they even ignored jinwoos gauntlet stats the last episode, a lot of people keeps hating the show calling mid and all for no reason and they make it worse..
@@justanotaku7307 what do you mean they glossed over it...he realizes he's not getting any experience for killing the infantry, and that they are just being summoned by the mages and he needs to take them out...stealthed...got to a high vantage point, mages used detection, there were 5 eyes over the mages, and he said "There are 5 mages". do you need a narrator to describe what you just saw? i don't understand what the issue is.or how thats glossing over what literally just happened in front of you
@@justanotaku7307 I don't think I need everything throw at me, SJW "found" the 5 remaining mages. That's all was needed. People be wanting all the side expository details yet people also call all the side-characters uninteresting despite the studio trying to build them and the world up lmao. Hypocrites
@@randynguyen9006 I think the main problem people have with the side characters is that they havent been showing any purpose to the story, even though they are all basically major parts. As I said, Its not that they ARENT important to the story, it just doesnt seem like it yet.
Just to clear up - The Shadow Monarch he got, wasnt just a title. His Necromancer class literally GOT SO MANY BONUS POINTS from all the extra stuff he has done during the quest, that it all summed up and immidiately ranked the Necromancer class into the EVEN HIGHER job which is The Shadow Monarch
They explained it when he got the ability in the manhwa, but he currently has the ability to summon up to 30 soldiers at once and store up to 20 of them in shadow storage. That’s why he dismissed 11 of them - so he’d have 19 summoned before he got Igris to round out the 20. So he has Igris, 6 mages, and 13 knights.
You're the first reactor I've seen who caught the end credits scene. The time in that quest was hours not minutes. He got lucky since he didn't do his daily challenge; 4 hours were spent in the penalty zone where he could level up and heal and rest. Got _chills_ with this one!
Jinwoo used the stealth skill not to hide, but to find out how many mages there. When they used their anti stealth skill. Thats how he knew there were 5 mages left
First, this anime is SO wonderful to see as a manwha fan. Watching the animation and hearing the voice acting is just so great and I literally cannot WAIT for the rest of the series to be animated. Genuinely one of me and my husband's favorite series!! You're in for a RIDE!!! Second, I don't see anyone else answering your confusion at 11:40 - Cha Hae-in has an extremely sensitive sense of smell (like Tanjiro) and the majority of hunters smell very badly to her. It was never thoroughly explained in the manwha, but my personal theory is that she can smell the mana from them, because the strongest hunters smell the worst to her. Jinwoo is one of the only hunters that doesn't smell badly to her (the reason is a major spoiler). For her to be in that small enclosed space with top-ranked hunters, it would be like being trapped in an elevator with a bunch of unwashed sweaty athletes lol. Edit: I forgot to mention, the record scratch at 16:31 was freaking hilarious omg. The look on your FACE!! Edit 2: Just realized no one else is mentioning this. At 25:30 when the subtitle says "You're with me now" - that is NOT what he actually said. In Japanese, he said "yoroshiku tanomu" which has a lot of buried cultural meaning that can't be fully translated to English. "Yoroshiku" is what you say when meeting someone for the first time, but can mean anything from "nice to meet you" to "please treat me well" to "I'll be counting on you." And "tanomu" is a gruffly masculine phrase typically spoken by a man of higher rank, meaning "please" or "I am asking this of you" with the expectation that you will do what is asked of you, as you are subordinate to the speaker. So Jinwoo's phrase here is more like "I'll be counting on you to serve me in the future."
i love how michael is actually following the anime and getting in depth with the story it really pays respect to the manwha readers that watch the animated series with him, found his channel in search of people who would actually appreciate the master piece solo leveling is as a manwha and its progression as an animated series. im glad i stumbled across this guy, cool dude.
@@newtonrazor8950 No, the second part and the second season are the same thing. Crunchyroll is calling it second season now so that's the official designation now.
@@shhhh4637 its way too reminiscent of the force so i pointed that out in specific. Especially fr me cause im currently in the middle of watching star wars😁
And this is...ladies and gentlemen where the TRUE STORY of our boy RELLY BEGINS!! Ma man is on his way to be the HIMmest HIM in his universe ( ngl my fav mc of all time ) LET US ALL ... ARISE! For OUR SHADOW MONARCH!!👑🥶 Season 2 is already CONFIRMED bro ! they dropped the teaser after ep 12 aired in Japan ! U have noooo IDEA what's about to happen!!🛐🥶 Btw igris has ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE "RIGHT NOW" TO DEFEAT AN S RANK HUNTER , THEY ARE WAY TOOOOOO STRONG JUST SAYING !!
I was literally in tears!!! I can't explain the feelings that surged through me at this episode from beginning to the end, especially at the Arise moment and the arise of Igris! Goosebumps!! Can't wait for our Shadow Monarch in action!!!🦹♀️
And you know the first 2-3 episodes of cour 2 is gonna be the red gate arc so we already one upping the first 2 episode of cour 1 can’t wait it’s gonna be a long few months 😢
@@ransac234 I agree! I just can't see them pulling off the whole manhwa in the 2nd round...I'm afraid we will need a 3rd round...especially for the final battle ...
Really appreciate the fact that you try your best to understand everything about the show and not miss any details. By far the best SL reactor I've seen
Such a fire episode. The Job Change was so unexpected, but I love to see it. And I was confused at first too, but due to his Penalty event, he technically lasted in the dungeon for 4hrs 29min and 16sec! Also, you are the only reactor who stops and reads / discusses the prompts that Jinwoo gets. THANK YOU!
Your excitement is contagious. I have read the series at least 5 times. I love finding newbies that can help me remember how it exciting it was the first time. I still get a kick out of all the hype moments, but watching your reaction helps me remember my first reading. Thanks for sharing 😊
*ARISE* having Mashle and Solo finishing at the same time hurts but what a great start to the year just happy we had so much peak in the same day see y’all again for the next cour!
@@kakashihatake1879 Nothing too crazy, but definitely a fun watch. Basically a Harry Potter parody, or to be more specific a mix between Harry Potter and One Punch Man
The Job and Class categories are basically the same thing with one being more specific. For example; Class: Mage Job types: Sage, Witch, Dark Mage, Spirit Mage, Elemental Mage, Necromancer, Rune Master, Shaman etc. So Jinwoo's class is kinda like Jack Of All Trades, he can use Assassin class Stealth, Healing Class self healing, warrior class combat ability and brute strength, and finally, the mage class which up to this point he hadn't used yet. So you can view it as, he's an all rounder, but his Main Class is Mage-Necromancer (growth type) and everything else is just his secondary and extra classes and jobs.
"I Am The Record Of Your Struggles, The Evidence Of Your Resistance, And The Reward Of Your Sufferings. I Am Death, I Am Eternal Rest, I Am Terror." - Ashborn is a side character from the Solo leveling series. Ashborn, being the greatest ruler, possessed unimaginable physical and magical abilities. (Shadow Monarch)
So for you anime only watchers who didnt catch on he used stealth so that when the mages uses their skill to see him thru stealth that also means that jinwoo can track down where every mages are
the under 5 minutes thing might have been misinterputed by you. it has been 4 and a half hours ( 4 hours in penalty zone) and thats why he got bonus points for exciding the time. Sorry im wirghting as im watching. The titles he has are not the definitive titles. if its like an rpg game you have more than 1 title and each title gives you an extrta. he has slain so many wolves that he earned wolf assassin title which made him stronger against wolves. im pretty sure he got goblin assassin as well. What shadow monarch is tho (subtitles say Title so it might be confusing) is pretty much a lvl 2 necromencer. he had so many bonus points from the trial that he got assigned a higher level necromancer tier.
The Shadow Monarch is a advanced class variation of the Necromancer class. Because SJW completed all of the bonus objectives, he was instantly able to promote to it. The title he got is called the Conqueror Of Adversity, which grants him bonus stats for every point of health he is missing. Also notice that each of his Shadow Soldiers has a rank. Igris has the Knight rank, which means it is as strong as A-rank hunter. When a Shadow Soldier reaches an appropriate level, it can increase its rank, and thus its overall power. Yeah, but now SJW has to spec his stats to balance his new class along with his original fighting abilities, as we saw in this quest, that having a overall balance is important.
Jinwoo had mention in the manwa that Igris was actually A rank level. And Jinwoo is still below A rank So technically Jinwoo still doesnt stand a chance against Dongsoo who's S rank
Solo leveling is like the dragon ball of korea, it revolutionized manhwas and made it much much more popular than ever before, it was a master piece, everything about it.
By the way, the final test adds points the longer he lasts, so when he got into the penalty for those 5 hours, all that time was added on top of killing all the soldiers of the test, thats why his job as a necromancer evolved to shadow monarch, and no its not a title its his job, kinda confusing but its just wording, im so hyped about the next season already
As always, thanks for your amazing reaction and works, Mike! This is the End of the Prologue Remember, this is not the End, Crunchyroll has been confirmed for Season 2 and I'm so happy
I believe Shadow Monarch is still a class, not only a title. It's like a progression from Knight -> Elite Knight. It's a promotion that upgrades specific class to a next level ^^
11:39 this might be somewhat of a spoiler but it’s not related to the story in any way, so it doesn’t matter. Actually, Cha Hae In has a condition (if that’s what you’d call it) due to which, she can’t stand being around Hunters, because for her, Hunters stink, to be frank. She’s sensitive to the smell emanated by the Hunters. That’s why Choi asks her if she’s alright and why she’s got a handkerchief to her nose.
4:14 yep the reason he's doing this trial is to get a job class which he ends up getting at the end of the episode, basically all this was a trial he needs to overcome to get a class
So just to clear things up shadow monarch is not his new title like wolf hunter its his new class job. Necromancer got upgraded to shadow monarch cause of all the bonus points he got doing the job quest.
The timer said 4 hours 29 minutes. The goal was to "survive for as long as possible" to earn the most possible advancement points. Shadow Monarch isn't a title like Wolf Assassin, it's the highest rank in the necromancer job, meaning it comes with higher level special abilities and unique skills.
This is basically the real starting of Jinwoo's journey. And the title of the episode suits it too, not only because of the command phrase, but also the inner meaning of a new beginning too. From the ashes of "THE WEAKEST HUNTER OF ALL MANKIND" there is the "ARISE" of "THE SHADOW MONARCH"❤🔥🔥 And eagerly waiting for your reactions bro for cour 2 as because the top tier battles are about to begin now😎😎
I've watched the series - and read the manhwa - but watching your reactions was AWESOME! Your enthusiasm, knowledge, and pure joy were just a pleasure to watch. I cannot WAIT to see your reactions to the next seasons!
I am glad that A1 is apparently in to adapt the whole thing. Someone on reddit claimed (according to a credible leaker) that A1 has 6 seasons planned, this would mean that we get the Jeju Island raid and our best boy in Season 3. I hope we get 2 seasons per year cos I don't want to wait until 2026. lol
Funny thing they didnt add. The bandage was to avoid to lose the dagger... like his luck with the teleportation stones XD Now the Shadow Lord is here so: gotta catch them all!
I really like your detailed info and correcting some of it and also appreciating the animators hard work, keep up the video bro I'm always excited by your reactions
"Monarch" remeber this title, it will be explained 3rd season. So far from story perspective the show has just started, next season would purely be watching our King kick ass and leveling up to a point he becomes broken. After the next season they will be focusing mainly on stories. Also, our boy doesn't say that word a lot, but whenever he say it, it's memorable that's why we were so hype for this episode, the journey would be amazing and thoroughly enjoyable my friend.
Just as sword of art online made the swordsman class dominate many games, you can bet that rpg players will start using the necromancer class a lot, if they create a physical necromancer class, you can bet that it will boom This sentence gives such a big shiver and the look of the shadows is so beautiful! it will definitely make incredible shirts and backgrounds Only 12 episodes and we're going crazy wanting more!
i dont know if anyone told him yet so i will ITS NOT 5 MINUTES he was there for like 5-10 minutes BEFORE being transported to the penalty dimension FOR 4 HOURS and when he finished 14:29 it was at 4 hours 29 minutes and 16 seconds so to the system he was there for 4 and half hours thats why he gain so much bonus
Ik I’m being picky but one detail from the manhwa that I loved was that when jinwoo is about to leave the penalty zone he wraps his hand with his dagger so he can’t drop it. Would have been cool to see that animated
I don’t know if you can consider this a spoiler, but the shadows are right now a little bit weaker than they were when they where alive, but as you can guess they’ll be able to level up with sung
Hey bro! What happened there is that the class points he got during the quest actually exceeded the limit and it resulted in an evolution of classes. It is explained in the manhwa that every class has an evolution, for example, the warrior has berserker as the evolution. In this case, as necromancer is a "hidden class", it's evolutoon is the "shadow monarch" class.
Little fun fact about reinvigorated Sung Jin-woo’s fight against the mages. He went into stealth to bait the mages into detecting him, since the spectral eyes that appear above give their locations away to him.
@@rinitoshi9664don’t worry Beru is just character in another novel it was named Beru that’s all i can say 🤫( I forgot the name of that novel and too lazy to search)
11:10 If the skill is not strong enough to move the intended target, you will be the one that's gonna be moved in accordance to the direction. Basically, like a tug-of-war.
I will be so impressed if you can wait for the next season without reading the light novels, or the manwa I got into the light novels on like episode 2 at that cliffhanger. Don't regret it for a second, but yeah, lots of reading. Good thing I love to read.

The 2nd cour actually is coming this year
I think you missed the Rank of Igris, it's Rank:KNIGHT , which is not the type ,it is a Rank of strenght like a Grade . others are just regular. and also Igris is probably equal to mid A rank hunter, Jin woo is probably High A rank
No that was 5 hours of fighting
Hunter cha cha wasn’t motion sick, rather she closes her nose because there’s a pungent smell that comes off hunters. the more pungent the smell as rank is higher. This strange phenomenon, only her suffered.
Igiris is still A rank and Jinwoo is weaker than him, i don't think even together with all those shadow and igiris he can defeat Hwang.
Fun fact: half the side characters don’t appear until later. The anime just incorporated them so early on, that’s why they don’t have a purpose
Good world building tools though
Actually many of them were in the Light Novel. This is actually adapting that and not the manhwa. 🙂
@@tbhgodrick6120 absolutely true but they didn't get half the scenes they did in either source that they did in the anime.

Exactly. The chills we got when seeing them for the first time in the manhwa won't be there in the anime.

*ARISE*! AND ONTO SEASON 2! :D Tutorial Complete! Can't wait for the second cour!
NEW HAIRCUT LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO!
AFROOOOOOOOOO!
The Shadow Monarch is a advanced class variation of the Necromancer class. Because SJW completed all of the bonus objectives, he was instantly able to promote to it.
The title he got is called the Conqueror Of Adversity, which grants him bonus stats for every point of health he is missing.
Also notice that each of his Shadow Soldiers has a rank. Igris has the Knight rank, which means it is as strong as A-rank hunter. When a Shadow Soldier reaches an appropriate level, it can increase its rank, and thus its overall power.
Yeah, but now SJW has to spec his stats to balance his new class along with his original fighting abilities, as we saw in this quest, that having a overall balance is important.
The record scratch and realization about igris was perfection!!!!
Jinwoo had mention in the manwa that Igris was actually A rank level. And Jinwoo is still below A rank
So technically Jinwoo still doesnt stand a chance against Dongsoo who's S rank
Solo leveling is like the dragon ball of korea, it revolutionized manhwas and made it much much more popular than ever before, it was a master piece, everything about it.
Solo leveling fans have won!! Igris looked soo goood!! I lost it when we saw him in our reaction 😂 very nice video Michael Angelo!!
Bro's gonna get shadow army stronger than all of the top international Hunter combined🔥Im soo hyped for season 2
By the way, the final test adds points the longer he lasts, so when he got into the penalty for those 5 hours, all that time was added on top of killing all the soldiers of the test, thats why his job as a necromancer evolved to shadow monarch, and no its not a title its his job, kinda confusing but its just wording, im so hyped about the next season already
As always, thanks for your amazing reaction and works, Mike!
This is the End of the Prologue
Remember, this is not the End, Crunchyroll has been confirmed for Season 2 and I'm so happy
Apparently I’ve seen a total of 6 seasons so far to come as well as sn 2 coming this year
@@kijjamburodney3086 from where you got this info?
I believe Shadow Monarch is still a class, not only a title. It's like a progression from Knight -> Elite Knight. It's a promotion that upgrades specific class to a next level ^^
Well u could say its the final stage ...as there is no promotion to tht title anymore
As from the manwha,Shadow monarch is the nickname given to the Strongest Monarch in solo leveling verse,his name is Ashborn.
@@rmpuiachngthu1111 Unnecessary spoiler
No major spoilers but no, incorrect. Monarchs are a totally separate thing, not just a title. You’ll witness it later on
11:39 this might be somewhat of a spoiler but it’s not related to the story in any way, so it doesn’t matter. Actually, Cha Hae In has a condition (if that’s what you’d call it) due to which, she can’t stand being around Hunters, because for her, Hunters stink, to be frank. She’s sensitive to the smell emanated by the Hunters. That’s why Choi asks her if she’s alright and why she’s got a handkerchief to her nose.
4:14 yep the reason he's doing this trial is to get a job class which he ends up getting at the end of the episode, basically all this was a trial he needs to overcome to get a class
The ost kicking in when he is summoning the shadows.. goosebumps!
So just to clear things up shadow monarch is not his new title like wolf hunter its his new class job. Necromancer got upgraded to shadow monarch cause of all the bonus points he got doing the job quest.
Jinwoo done mastered the tutorial 😂 … the plot starts in season 2
It's still a tutorial 😂 until he gets....
@@markfive4903the best babysitting and ironically has the biggest heart,and loves k dramas
Don't be sorry for pausing so much..We love to see when a reactor picking up every details. LOVE YOUR REACTIONS
As someone who watched the Anime, read the light novel and manhwa. You're in for one hell of a ride, this is just the beginning
14:30 no that’s 4 hours. It kept counting the time when he was in the penalty zone.
You called the whole episode bro, that's why you a professional anime reactor!! Peep the wing on the ant
"Okiro" so clean 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The timer said 4 hours 29 minutes. The goal was to "survive for as long as possible" to earn the most possible advancement points.
Shadow Monarch isn't a title like Wolf Assassin, it's the highest rank in the necromancer job, meaning it comes with higher level special abilities and unique skills.
thankyou Michael, really love to see your reaction on every solo leveling eps this season, i can say you are the best reactor for this haha
This is basically the real starting of Jinwoo's journey. And the title of the episode suits it too, not only because of the command phrase, but also the inner meaning of a new beginning too.
From the ashes of "THE WEAKEST HUNTER OF ALL MANKIND" there is the "ARISE" of "THE SHADOW MONARCH"❤🔥🔥
And eagerly waiting for your reactions bro for cour 2 as because the top tier battles are about to begin now😎😎
Nice new haircut bro, I like it!
As for this episode, holy god did I love the animation in it!
Shadow Monarch…wow. That name
I've watched the series - and read the manhwa - but watching your reactions was AWESOME! Your enthusiasm, knowledge, and pure joy were just a pleasure to watch. I cannot WAIT to see your reactions to the next seasons!
i have read manhwa like 10 times and when i watched this... man legit goosebumps
I am glad that A1 is apparently in to adapt the whole thing. Someone on reddit claimed (according to a credible leaker) that A1 has 6 seasons planned, this would mean that we get the Jeju Island raid and our best boy in Season 3. I hope we get 2 seasons per year cos I don't want to wait until 2026. lol
I really lik, u took ur time and read it loud and clear that notifications. I appreciate that. ❤
W reaction Angelo. His journey has just begun.
yoooo Fox ❤boy
@@mywifeStussy-Swan yo what’s up
@@GavinFox2028 yoooo see you magic and Muscles Final ep❤️
@@mywifeStussy-Swan yep as a matter of fact, I finished reading the manga of it 162 chapters finished in 2 days.
@@GavinFox2028 woah，only 162 chapter from manga？
Funny thing they didnt add. The bandage was to avoid to lose the dagger... like his luck with the teleportation stones XD
Now the Shadow Lord is here so: gotta catch them all!
That plus (+) stats the stats he's added himself since he started leveling
Season 1 was just tutorial, and now real solo leveling begins.
hey Micheal, if you don't know already, the 2nd cour of Solo Leveling is scheduled to be released in this years fall/autumn. Most likely in August.
Let's go ! I've been waiting for this ❤ your reactions never disappoints .
Finished with 12 episodes of solo leveling, seriously this is just a prologue for me because the real fun starts from here!!!
This is the best anime season ending I have ever watched so far. Absolutely 💯 brilliant
I really like your detailed info and correcting some of it and also appreciating the animators hard work, keep up the video bro I'm always excited by your reactions
Bro your Reactions are as peak as the show, we love to see it 😉
i stumbled on your reaction channel on accident and I'm so glad because your reactions are so so good!! Keep it up!!
rulers hand is one of the best powers in an anime and the great thing is hes training it for more weight
Peak Leveling! Yes I'm ready for part 2 let's go!
he used stealth so the mages would use detection which will give away the position of the mages.
"Monarch" remeber this title, it will be explained 3rd season. So far from story perspective the show has just started, next season would purely be watching our King kick ass and leveling up to a point he becomes broken. After the next season they will be focusing mainly on stories.
Also, our boy doesn't say that word a lot, but whenever he say it, it's memorable that's why we were so hype for this episode, the journey would be amazing and thoroughly enjoyable my friend.
Just as sword of art online made the swordsman class dominate many games, you can bet that rpg players will start using the necromancer class a lot, if they create a physical necromancer class, you can bet that it will boom
This sentence gives such a big shiver and the look of the shadows is so beautiful! it will definitely make incredible shirts and backgrounds
Only 12 episodes and we're going crazy wanting more!
season 2 is gonna be sick!!! Mans about to go ham. All manga readers know this is gonna be insane🔥🔥🔥🔥❤🔥
i dont know if anyone told him yet so i will ITS NOT 5 MINUTES he was there for like 5-10 minutes BEFORE being transported to the penalty dimension FOR 4 HOURS and when he finished 14:29 it was at 4 hours 29 minutes and 16 seconds so to the system he was there for 4 and half hours thats why he gain so much bonus
this ep is epic ty for make good vids bro
Ik I’m being picky but one detail from the manhwa that I loved was that when jinwoo is about to leave the penalty zone he wraps his hand with his dagger so he can’t drop it. Would have been cool to see that animated
I don’t know if you can consider this a spoiler, but the shadows are right now a little bit weaker than they were when they where alive, but as you can guess they’ll be able to level up with sung
Hey bro! What happened there is that the class points he got during the quest actually exceeded the limit and it resulted in an evolution of classes. It is explained in the manhwa that every class has an evolution, for example, the warrior has berserker as the evolution. In this case, as necromancer is a "hidden class", it's evolutoon is the "shadow monarch" class.
Little fun fact about reinvigorated Sung Jin-woo’s fight against the mages. He went into stealth to bait the mages into detecting him, since the spectral eyes that appear above give their locations away to him.
Your reaction is soooooo good bro
You are not just watching but enjoying and thinking what happens next, so good reaction
18:45 dude how fun it will be to watch him when sung jinwoon gets Beru 😂
Don’t spoilers
Who is Beru anyway?
@@rinitoshi9664 an ant
@@rinitoshi9664don’t worry Beru is just character in another novel it was named Beru that’s all i can say 🤫( I forgot the name of that novel and too lazy to search)
This show is officially a banger
Jinwoo spending all his time and skill points developing an assassin playstyle and then the system just pushing a mage class onto him is hilarious lol
11:10 If the skill is not strong enough to move the intended target, you will be the one that's gonna be moved in accordance to the direction. Basically, like a tug-of-war.
I absolutely love how the first thing you thought of after seeing his class was Igris' body. god-tier initiative sir😂😂😂😂😂😂
I will be so impressed if you can wait for the next season without reading the light novels, or the manwa I got into the light novels on like episode 2 at that cliffhanger. Don't regret it for a second, but yeah, lots of reading. Good thing I love to read.
