Female Swordswoman Olivia Takes Off Her Clothes... A Tragic Past Regarding the Scar on Her Back Draws Reactions of "How Terrible" - Anime "Hojo Maho" Episode 8

In Episode 8 of the anime "The Banished Court Magician Aims to Become the Strongest" broadcast on November 22, the skilled swordswoman Olivia (CV: Yoko Hikasa) revealed her harrowing past to the protagonists and showed them the scar on her back.

At the end of the previous Episode 7, Olivia had spoken of wanting revenge on her master for letting her mother die. In the following Episode 8, "Scar," Olivia told Alec Yugret (CV: Shuichiro Umeda) and Clasia Annerose (CV: Masumi Tazawa) more details about her past.

Olivia's mother was an adventurer who passed away when Olivia was a child. Left all alone, Olivia was taken in by a man named Melea Dial (CV: Shogo Sakata). Melea unsparingly taught Olivia sword techniques, serving as both her foster father and her sword master.

Thus, despite the sadness of losing her mother, Olivia lived without complaints thanks to the presence of Melea, who acted as her father. However, just as Olivia's swordsmanship improved, Melea suddenly changed completely. Drawing his sword, he said, "You have grown beyond my expectations. It is time." Melea slashed at the confused Olivia's back and revealed the shocking truth: "I killed your mother."

Reflecting on that time, Olivia said, "It's a hopeless story. I lived admiring the very person who killed my mother! For years, and years!" She took off her clothes to show the two the large scar remaining on her back.

Regarding the episode of Olivia's betrayal by Melea, viewers on the internet expressed their heartbreak one after another, with comments like "How terrible" and "This is painful for Olivia-san..."
