The many battles they've endured leave Teacher and Fran feeling they need to step up their game and get stronger. The two return to Alessa to train at the Demon Wolf's Garden, the place where Teacher first awakened. With some help from Amanda, and an extra-powerful crop of monsters now infesting the Garden, the duo gets to work training up a storm!
Finally we get Teacher's story and purpose, alas another victim of Truck-kun. While the information we gain is interesting, and, to be honest, a bit late, the volume itself was a bit heavy on the exposition with a few low-stake random fights added in for the action. I enjoyed the read well enough, but it is not the strongest in the series.
It feels shorter than the others in the series. Didn’t check but something like a 90 minute read? We have a bunch of info-dumping mixed with training montage but very little of substance here. I dare say you might even be able to skip this volume and go onto the next book.
