Recap of Episode 11

We see a glimpse of Cid’s relaxing vacation time as he clears his mind in a hot spring, paying no attention to the other person there. Alexia, however, stares in disbelief as she sits in the bath beside him.

They talk about the Goddess’s trial; Alexia explains the process of the fighting ritual. The ancient spirits, however, are very picky about whom they fight, and only those they deem worthy actually get to fight.

It had caused a huge upset in the past when the hero Olivier was summoned; however, the fight was not favorable. Alexia insists he joins the Crimson Knights as Cid blatantly refuses repeatedly; he also refuses to stare at her.

She makes fun of Cid’s “Excalibur,” but he shows her up and immediately drops into poetry with his metaphorical holy sword; Alexia has no words.

We finally begin the Goddess’s Trials, and the introduction begins with the legend of Olivier and his severed arm which remains within the coliseum. Alexia is refused by the church and told to leave matters in their hand; she stands next to “Natsume” in the Goddess’s trial.

Neither of them like the other as they fight without causing a scene, and the Goddess’s trial begins with a huge flash of lights and fireworks. The first challenger enters the arena one by one they get denied by the warriors.

Cid continues to resist his urges to enter the arena as Shadow and display his overwhelming powers and leave the audience in mystery and awe; however, he decides to accept his background character status and stay for now.

As Cid gets bored, they continue calling challengers. Unexpectedly, they call Cid Kagenou even though he didn’t apply. Cid considers all his options without revealing his true talents and then decides to drop in as Shadow.

The lights flash as an ancient warrior answers his call. He stands against Aurora, the witch of calamity. Once an incredibly powerful warrior that has wreaked incredible amounts of havoc on the world.

Cid respects his opponent as they fight a true battle of equal strengths with ancient battle techniques. He dodges gracefully and fights with passion, but he still remains the stronger of the two as he slices through her.

The wall of light cracks as a massive spell surrounds the coliseum, and we are left in anticipation of what’s next.
