The Beginning After the End episode 7 recap

The episode commenced with Arthur and Tessia witnessing that Virion was going somewhere with the Elenoir Kingdom's current King and Queen. Later, the duo sparred against each other under Virion's supervision. The elderly elf then reminded Arthur and Tessia of the basics of magic, including that the elements that one can acquire are determined by the races.

Virion mentioned that the elves were the masters of wind magic, while the dwarves could demonstrate Earth and Fire. Humans, on the other hand, could manipulate all four elements (fire, earth, wind, and water). However, a person could acquire only one element normally. In rare circumstances, one could wield multiple elements.

Virion also stated that Arthur's Mana Core contained a Beast Will, which ruined the balance between his Mana Core and Flesh. That's why Arthur had to assimilate his Mana with his body. During the training period, Virion wanted to awaken Arthur's Beast Will by sparking a flame in his Mana Core.

However, as soon as he did that, an overwhelming force emitted from Arthur's body, throwing Virion off guard. When Arthur regained consciousness, he revealed that his Beast Will was that of a Dragon. Virion advised the boy to keep it a secret from others, as a Dragon's will could attract unwanted danger.

Furthermore, Virion told Arthur that he only had four months at the Elenoir Kingdom. He explained that the gate to Xyrus would open in four months due to a Cultural Exchange program. Arthur was slightly disappointed since he intended to stay for a couple more years. Likewise, Tessia became distraught.

Later at night, Arthur witnessed a baby dragon hatching from the egg that Sylvia had entrusted to him. He named the female dragon Sylvie, akin to her mother's name, Sylvia. Sylvie was immediately drawn to Arthur, whom she called "Papa." Later, during the training session, Virion was shocked to see Arthur carrying a dragon.

Following that, he transformed into his Beast Tamer form (the Integrate Stage) and sparred with Arthur. He wanted Arthur to train his Beast Core and Mana Core. For that, he felt a real battle was necessary. Gradually, Arthur gained mastery over his Beast Will and became a Beast Tamer.

Later in the episode, Tessia and Arthur encountered Feyrith, who once again challenged the boy to a duel. Unfortunately, Feyrith lost the duel yet again. He mentioned that he was chosen to go to the Cultural Exchange program. Meanwhile, Tessia was disappointed to let go of Arthur. To cheer up Tessia, Arthur discreetly took her to the forest at night and spent a lovely moment.

Finally, it was the day of Arthur's departure from the Elenoir Kingdom. Virion gifted him a compass with the Eralith Crest, so he won't get lost if he ever decides to return to the Kingdom in the future. Meanwhile, Tessia bade Arthur an emotional farewell. Arthur hugged the elf girl and said that he would miss her.

Afterward, the boy headed for the Floating City of Xyrus. Upon his arrival, he located the house where his parents were supposed to stay. As he knocked on the door, a young girl opened it. Arthur immediately recognized her as his younger sister.
