"Might Be Seen as Overbearing"... The Cool-Headed Beauty's Devotion to Her Mentor Is Too Single-Minded! Anime "Old Man Sword Saint" Episode 2

In Episode 2 of the anime "From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman," which began airing on April 12, the unwavering devotion of Knight Commander Allucia Citrus (voiced by Nao Toyama) towards her mentor was portrayed. Allucia's "plan," which took nearly ten years to achieve great success for the sake of her mentor, drew praise from viewers, with comments like "What a devoted disciple she is (tears)."

In Episode 2, titled "The Old Country Bumpkin is Astounded by a Wizard," the reason Allucia invited her mentor, Beryl Gardinant (voiced by Hiroaki Hirata), to serve as an instructor for the Reverio Knights was revealed.

After leaving Beryl's side in the past, Allucia took the knights' exam, demonstrating skills on par with the examiners. She realized how exceptional a swordsman her mentor Beryl was.

Determined not to "leave the teacher as he is," Allucia spent about ten years climbing the ranks to become the Knight Commander, gaining significant influence. Reflecting on her actions driven by her feelings for Beryl, she said, "I might be seen as overbearing, but I couldn't help but prepare a stage befitting the teacher."

Allucia's rise to Knight Commander for Beryl's sake captivated viewers, who commented, "What a devoted disciple she is (tears)," "Allucia is too single-minded," and "Allucia's determination and spirit are amazing."
