Ep 9. Shizu-san's Students

Shizu-san's Students is the ninth episode of the second season of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Original Japanese Version). In this episode, Rimuru and his allies continue to work towards uniting all the different nations and factions within the Jura Forest Alliance. While Rimuru is busy with diplomatic duties, his trusted advisor, Veldora, volunteers to help the students of Shizu-san.

Shizu was a powerful mage and a beloved ally of Rimuru, who unfortunately met an untimely end. However, before her death, she took in a group of students who were also gifted with magical abilities. These students, who were once orphans, did not have anyone to guide them and help them grow their abilities until Shizu took them under her wing.

Now, Veldora takes on the task of teaching and training Shizu's students. He soon finds out that these students are not like any other magical users. They possess unique abilities that are considered rare even among the most advanced mages. Veldora is impressed by their potential and decides to give them more advanced magic lessons.

The students then team up with Veldora to work on their first major mission: defending a small village from a group of orc invaders. Using their unique abilities and the skills they learned from Veldora, the students manage to fend off the orcs and save the village.

However, the situation takes a turn for the worse when a much stronger orc general appears. The students are outmatched by this powerful foe, and Veldora herself gets injured in the process of fighting him. Just when all seemed lost, Rimuru, who was away on diplomatic missions, returns to the scene. He once again shows why he is one of the most powerful beings in the Jura Forest Alliance as he single-handedly defeats the orc general and puts an end to the conflict.

As the episode ends, Rimuru acknowledges the potential of Shizu's students and decides to continue teaching them personally. Meanwhile, Veldora reflects on the role he played in helping these students grow and the importance of continuing Shizu's legacy.

In conclusion, Shizu-san's Students is a heartwarming episode that showcases the potential growth of future heroes in the making. It also highlights the values of mentorship and teaching, as Veldora takes up the mantle of guiding Shizu's students and helping them hone their abilities. With its action-packed scenes and emotional moments, the episode is a must-watch for fans of the series.
