Kunon the Sorcerer Can See Ep. 9

The long-awaited day of the Magic Academy entrance exam has finally arrived! At the testing grounds, Kunon finds himself surrounded by a colorful cast of examinees: Hank of the Fire element, Riya of the Wind element, and most notably, Reyes—a practitioner of Light magic revered as the Saint of the Holy Church. Captivated by Reyes’s mystical mana and presence, Kunon forgets his nerves and begins a relentless barrage of questions (which, let’s be honest, sounds more like flirting), much to the bewilderment of those around him.

The presiding teachers, Sapph and Seifi, greet the students with a shocking announcement: Since they can all already use magic, their admission is already guaranteed! Today's test is not a pass/fail exam, but a "Class Placement Exam" to determine their standing. Will Kunon be able to prove his worth among these formidable peers and secure a spot in his desired class?

Key Highlights and Review

1. Kunon’s Unstoppable "Saint Conquest" Because he cannot see physically, Kunon senses the essence of mana with extreme sensitivity. To him, Reyes’s "Light" is an irresistible temptation. The highlight of this episode is Kunon’s signature way of speaking—maintaining perfect etiquette while completely dismantling Reyes’s composure.

2. Eccentric Rivals Aiming for the Elite Class The episode hints that Hank and Riya are also top-tier talents in their respective elements. The setting—where every single freshman is already a practicing sorcerer—emphasizes the high prestige of the academy and sets the stage for high-level magical battles to come.

3. The Meaningful Gaze of Teachers Sapph and Seifi It’s intriguing to see the teachers look at Kunon as if they’ve already heard the rumors. The tension builds as we wait to see what kind of ripples Kunon’s common-sense-breaking abilities will cause during the placement exam.
