English Dub Review: The Unwanted Undead Adventurer “Magical Contract”

Overview (Spoilers Below):
After leading Laura and Ryze to battle against the final boss of the Bronze exams, Rentt is confronted by Sheila, who has grown suspicious of his true identity.

Our Take:
So, as it turns out, the big bad boss that’s been giving adventurers a hard time is a giant blob of slime.  That’s not to say it was a disappointing reveal, as this Grand Slime proved more formidable than anticipated.  Regardless, Rentt and his new comrades, Rize and Laura, conquer the slimy beast and are promoted to the Bronze class.  Although Rize and Laura did all the heavy lifting, Rentt is gradually on his way to achieving Mythril class.  Unsurprisingly, this also paves the way for more troubles interfering with his journey.
One of those obstacles is Sheila Ibarss, who recently received word from Guildmaster Wolff of Rentt’s mysterious “appearance”.  In addition to her deep feelings for Rentt, Sheila struggles to ask him about his identity because she knows that Rentt Faina and Rentt Vivie are the same.  That is, until this episode, in which she has a magical contract to become enslaved if she reveals his identity.  This resulted in Rentt finally trusting Shiela to keep his truth a secret.  So, this makes Sheila the latest character who knows Rentt’s real identity, although Lorraine wasn’t too thrilled about it before seeing her good intentions.
Unfortunately, this also unravels another troubling situation involving Rentt.  Wolff deems him as the suspect in the mysterious kidnappings of several rookie adventurers, resulting in his avoiding the guild for the time being.  This puts his trust in Sheila to keep his secret to the test as she strives to prove his innocence to the doubtful guild master.  The episode depicted Rentt continuing to rely on his closest friends to conceal his identity while also being an inspiration to the adventurers he joined forces with.  But, as I mentioned earlier, it could cause plenty of issues that’ll threaten his secrecy, which is enough to power through the show’s middling narrative.
