Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei S3 — Episode 9 — 10 Second Anime

Tatsuya joins the search for Gongjin Zhou, pulling him into conflict with Traditionalists.

Episode 9 — “Ancient City Insurrection Part I”

Hmm.

Oh, boy. Here we go again. Mahouka uses the cover story of a Magic Thesis Competition in Kyoto to move Tatsuya’s Scooby Gang over there. Thank goodness Mizuki’s oppai magic will be here to entertain us.

Heh.

Ha! Tatsuya lays some Mahouka lore on Miyuki: Aunt Maya’s requests are number three on the totem pole for Tatsuya! His primary priority is protecting Miyuki, and his second mission is anything coming from the Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion. Battalion of one walking neutron bomb, it means. The Yotsuba Clans Chief’s orders are merely requests.

Oh, right. Miyuki received the most votes for Student Council Chair, while Tatsuya came in third. He was a write-in candidate! Let’s see if the magic students drag him in again. Tatsuya’s little asides about Mahouka’s characters always mean something for the current story arc. Kyouko Fujibayashi, his handler, is also the Kudou patriarch’s granddaughter. And she’s a super hacker because her nickname is the Electron Sorceress. Oops. Miyuki hates the idea that Tatsuya has Kyouko’s private number.

Time-lapse. Students reelected Miyuki, and our favorite characters joined the Student Council. Yes. It’s Tatsuya’s harem. Haha! Nepotism, baby! Miyuki created a new role for Tatsuya — Chief Secretary. Mahouka’s idea makes sense: Traditionalists are a rebel faction of the Ancient Magicians. Therefore, Mikihiko will have more screen time. This story arc will reveal the political machinations between the Ten Magic Families. Maya thinks it’s cute how Tatsuya takes his first steps into trading favors.

Here we go. Tatsuya’s BAMF mode starts now. The Traditionalists use Synthetic Spirits to attack students. But who was the target? The Shibas! However, the Traditionalists thought they were assaulting other Ancient Magicians. Ah. Random magicians became caught in the crossfire of targeting the Kurobas. Yup. People dragged Tatsuya into more trouble again. Classic Mahouka. Master Yakumo wants to flex his skills against the self-named Traditionalists. Well, he needs to practice his Buddhism a bit more. But Mikihiko can watch over Mizuki. Flirty times ahead!
