The Beginning After the End episode 8 recap

The episode commenced with Arthur Leywin's heartfelt reunion with his parents and younger sister. Arthur's parents, Alice and Reynolds, were over the moon to see that their son was doing fine. Meanwhile, Eleanor was slightly apprehensive at first, seeing her mother crying. However, she soon realized that Arthur was truly her "older brother," her mother had told her about in the past.
After settling in, Arthur told his parents everything up until his arrival in Xyrus City. However, he omitted some crucial events, such as meeting with Sylvia. Arthur thought telling his parents about Sylvia wouldn't be safe until he became strong enough to protect them. Likewise, he hid the actual identity of Sylvie. Instead, he said he found his familiar in a mana beast cave.

After telling Alice and Reynolds about his experiences, Arthur asked Reynolds about his current occupation. Reynolds replied that he worked as the Security Instructor at the Helsea Auction house. Additionally, Reynolds discovered that Arthur had reached the light red stage.
Since his Mana Core had reached the dark orange stage, Reynolds realized his son was close to overtaking him. At that moment, the Helstea family arrived at the scene. Vincent Helstea, Reynolds and Alice's benefactor, was pleased to see that Arthur was fine. He introduced the boy to his wife, Tabitha, and their daughter, Lilia, who was immediately interested in Sylvie.

Reynolds said that Vincent had arrived at the right time since he was planning to have a sparring session with his son. The episode then showcased Arthur and Reynolds's sparring contest, where the former demonstrated his growth as a mage. Arthur not only showcased his High Flame magic but also manipulated water from a nearby fountain.
Although Arthur was still a novice at controlling water magic, Reynolds was overjoyed to see his son's impressive growth. At the same time, Vincent couldn't believe how talented Arthur was. Up until then, he had only heard about the boy's potential. Therefore, having witnessed his strength firsthand, Vincent proposed that they send the boy to the Xyrus Academy.

Vincent mentioned that Arthur could benefit a lot from entering such a prestigious academy. He also assured the Leywins that they didn't have to worry about Arthur's tuition fees. Alice was grateful to them for not only sheltering them, but also taking care of Arthur's studies. That said, they wondered how Arthur could enter the academy since he was too young.
Vincent said that he had an amiable relationship with the academy's director due to his position. Meanwhile, Lilia took Arthur to the kitchen and showed him around. She was also quite playful toward Sylvie. After a while, the Twin Horns members arrived at the house from their adventure.

Jasmine was most happy to see Arthur, whom she hugged tightly. Adam and others were also delighted to see that the boy was doing well. Meanwhile, the Twin Horns members talked about their adventures. At that moment, Arthur Leywin realized that he had yet to know everything about the Kingdom of Sapin.
He wondered whether becoming an adventurer would let him explore the unknown. The episode ended with Arthur Leywin's dilemma, as he knew that becoming an adventurer meant leaving his parents behind again.
What to expect in The Beginning After the End episode 9? (Speculative)

Given how the latest installment ended, The Beginning After the End episode 9 will likely show Arthur Leywin's life at Xyrus. Although he has found his next calling as an adventurer, he might still focus on staying with his parents.
The episode will likely show the events from chapter 33 of the original webtoon and show Arthur getting a haircut at a salon. Additionally, The Beginning After the End episode 9 will likely introduce the director of the Xyrus Academy, whom Vincent wanted Arthur to meet. Overall, the episode will be filled with plenty of action and lore.
